Abstract
Landing gear mechanism includes a restrictor assembly containing a primary orifice for controlling the rate of instroke of the gear during landing and a taxi instroke bypass valve which provides for increased flow of hydraulic fluid within the gear whenever the gear engages a bump during taxiing to reduce the damping loads that would otherwise occur if all of the hydraulic fluid were required to flow through the primary orifice. The taxi instroke bypass valve assembly includes a bypass passage around the primary orifice, and a slide member which is axially movable relative to the orifice restrictor assembly for opening and closing the bypass passage.
