frozen lakes and snowy areas. Failures of landing gears in aircraft represent roughly 10% of the overall
failures reportable for the regional industry. These failures are typically associated with metallurgical,
processing, environmental, design, and overload causes. These are conditions that will be simply
prevented by following smart engineering and maintenance practices, that are usually well established
within the regional industry. though undercarriage is an important element for safe landing and ground
activities, it's a dead weight whereas craft is in the air.
