Abstract
A method of determining configuration status of a component of an aircraft landing gear assembly. The component with a lidar system is scanned to generate a set of position data points. A subset of the position data points is determined, the subset having position data points corresponding to positions in a predetermined region of the landing gear assembly, the predetermined region including a part of the component. The representative position point of the subset of position data points is determined, and it is determining if the position is beyond a predetermined threshold position. If the point is beyond the predetermined threshold position, a signal indicating the component of the landing gear assembly has a first configuration status is output, and if the representative position point is not beyond the predetermined threshold position, a signal indicating the component of the landing gear assembly has a second configuration status is output.
