Abstract:	This document proposes to revise the landing gear shock absorption test requirements for transport category airplanes by incorporating changes developed in cooperation with the Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) of Europe and the U.S. and European aviation industry through the Aviation Rulemaking Advisory Committee (ARAC). This action is necessary because the increasing complexity of landing gear shock absorption systems and the improvements in other requirements concerning landing loads have rendered the current requirements inconsistent and outdated. In addition, differences between the current United States and European requirements impose unnecessary costs on airplane manufacturers. These proposals are intended to update the landing gear requirements to be consistent with other requirements, to reflect modern technology, and to achieve common requirements and language between the Federal Aviation Regulations and the European Joint Aviation Requirements (JAR) without reducing the level of safety provided by the regulations and industry practices. Comments must be received on or before October 18, 1999.
