System for indicating an airplane hard landing

摘要

An indicator assembly for an aircraft landing gear for providing indication of a hard landing. The indicator assembly including an actuator member (16) movable when the pressure on a shock strut of the aircraft landing gear exceeds a desired load and stroke threshold indicative of a hard landing. A shear pin (24) is coupled to the actuator member which is configured to shear when a desired level of force is applied to at least a portion of the shear pin. A visibly recognizable indictor (30) is moved from a non-indicating position to an indicating position upon shearing of the shear pin.
