Abstract
An aircraft landing gear assembly includes a mechanical structural linkage having a shock absorber and a linkage abutment which are biased apart by a mechanical spring. The force required to deform the spring sufficiently to place the linkage abutment at a predefined distance with respect to the shock absorber abutment is less than the breakout force of the shock absorber.
