Apparatus for checking a landing gear shock absorber comprises first and second inclinometers located within first and second devices 11,12. The devices 11,12 each comprise a handle 14 connected to a body portion 13. The body portions each comprise attachment elements 13A,15A, 15B which engage with a hole 7C within a torque link. The first and second inclinometers are configured to engage the torque links in a flush manner and to measure the inclinations of the lower and upper torque links of the shock absorber. The inclinometers are connected to a processor via cables 16. The extension of the shock absorber can be calculated from the measured inclinations using the processor to determine the level of nitrogen and hydraulic fluid present within the shock absorber. |
