A system for use in monitoring, measuring, computing and displaying the
landing loads experienced while aircraft are executing either normal,
overweight or hard landing events. Pressure sensors and motion sensors
are mounted in relation to each of the landing gear struts to monitor,
measure and record the impact loads and aircraft sink rates; experienced
by landing gear struts, as the aircraft landing gear initially come into
contact with the ground. The computer of this system measures the landing
loads experienced by each landing gear strut and determines if a hard
landing event has occurred. Additional features include automating the
inspections required to aircraft components, after overweight or hard
landing events.
