Abstract: A method and apparatus for servicing a shock absorber on a landing gear assembly of an aircraft in a weight-on-wheels state is disclosed. The shock absorber includes at least one chamber containing both hydraulic fluid and a gas in fluid communication with each other. The apparatus includes a source of gas and a source of hydraulic fluid. The amount of hydraulic fluid in the chamber is corrected, preferably such that the chamber is then filled with a known amount of degassed hydraulic fluid. The process may be at least semi-automatically performed, for example under the control of a control unit. By delivering a pre-set mass of gas into the chamber, there is no need to rely on a measure of gas pressure or H-dimension (h) when servicing the shock absorber, and more accurate servicing of a shock absorber may thus be provided.

Abstract: A load measuring sensor set on an aircraft is used under the control of a control unit on the aircraft. The load measuring sensor set is calibrated and there is calibration data associated with it. A code is retrieved which identifies uniquely the sensor set, so that a remote database can be interrogated using the code to retrieve the correct calibration data for the sensor set, for use by the control unit. The sensor set may utilise an optical-fibre having a Fibre Bragg Grating arrangement which provides optical signature characteristics that provide the unique code and having a Fibre Bragg Grating arrangement configured to measure loads.
