Abstract:
Methods and systems are provided that facilitate the maintenance of levered landing gears by monitoring the condition of the stop pads of such landing gears. One embodiment provides for calibrating a sensor for measuring a condition of a stop joint formed by a first stop pad and a second stop pad of a levered landing gear against a nominal condition of at least one of the first stop pad and the second stop pad; monitoring, by the sensor, a current condition of the at least one of the first stop pad and the second stop pad from the nominal condition; determining whether a non-conformance from the nominal condition of the at least one of the first stop pad and the second stop pad has been detected by the sensor for the current condition; and in response to determining that the non-conformance has been detected, generating an alert.

Claim (Index 1):
A levered landing gear, comprising:\n a first shock strut having a longitudinal axis, the first shock strut including first stop pad having a first contact surface; a second shock strut disposed concentrically with the first shock strut along the longitudinal axis such that the first shock strut and the second shock strut extend along a shared extension axis; a truck lever coupled to the first shock strut and the second shock strut such that the second shock strut pivots the truck lever relative to the first shock strut, the truck lever including a second stop pad having a second contact surface, wherein the truck lever pivots between an extended position and a static position relative to the first shock strut, and wherein the first contact surface makes physical contact with the second contact surface when the truck lever is in the static position to form a stop joint for the levered landing gear; and a first sensor disposed with the levered landing gear and configured to measure a first condition of the stop joint.
