ABSTRACT:
A light-weight, gas chargeable, self-contained, shock absorber piston assembly which can be retrofitted to various landing gear. The invention permits taxi and take off in either a "normal" or "rough" runway configuration, followed by subsequent landing, taxi and take off again in either mode. The reconfiguration of the gear for these modes is at the option of the aircrew. There is no need to resupply the landing gear with gas from an external source until completion of a number of system actuations.
