Abstract
A sensor carrier for sensing forces acting upon an axle of an aircraft landing gear assembly is disclosed being arranged to fit within the axle and includes an end coupling for fixing to one end of the axle, and a central coupling for fixing to a central portion of the axle where the axle attaches to a main leg of the assembly. The sensor carrier includes a sensor arrangement arranged to detect strain occurring between the end coupling and the central coupling so that in use, the sensor arrangement indicates strain occurring between the end of the axle and the main leg of the aircraft.
