Abstract
An aircraft landing gear assembly () including a shock absorber strut (), a bogie (), a link assembly (), and a movement detector (). The shock absorber strut includes an upper and a lower telescoping parts (), the upper part being connectable to the airframe of an aircraft and the lower part being connected to the bogie such that the bogie may adopt different pitch angles. The link assembly extends between the upper and lower telescoping parts, such that relative movement between the upper and lower telescoping parts causes relative movement between parts of the link assembly. The movement detector is arranged to detect movement of the link assembly relative to the bogie. The movement detector detects movement by sensing a change in linear displacement of, or angle between, one or more members.
