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?
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
Because military contracts. Thats why.
At the end of the day, there's a limit on flight hours before a plane must be landed.
