Technician - Pre-Assembly

Job Overview

The landing gear bushings play an important role in high-stress applications where vibrations and wear is problematic.

Bushings that connect struts or shocks to the airframe are metal to absorb vibrations and prevent wear to the larger components.

Without bushings, the landing gear system cannot effectively absorb vibrations, resulting in a bumpier landing to the aircraft on landing.

Sizing and installation of the bushing is a critical task. Incorrect sizing of bushing will result in premature wear at the landing gear linkages and struts.

This role is to carry out critical measurements of bushing requirements, ensuring the bushings are correctly corrosion treated and installation of the bushings.
