Why does a landing gear component need to be replaced based on flight time? Shouldn't it be based on number of take-offs and landings?
Because military contracts. Thats why.
Maybe it’s just easiest to build replacement into the maintenance schedule based on flight hours even though landing is the actual wear and tear
At the end of the day, there's a limit on flight hours before a plane must be landed.
Using an average flight length, you can determine after how many flight hours the component needs to be replaced by doing
max_flights * avg_flight_length
wheremax_flights
is the maximum number of landing + takeoffs the component can handle. 1 landing and 1 takeoff = 1 flight.
