ABSTRACT:
An aircraft landing locking pin (12) automatically repositions from an engage position, wherein a rotating portion (15) of the landing gear is prevented from rotating, to a released position, wherein the rotating portion if free to rotate, in response to excessive side loading on the landing gear. The locking pin comprises a spring loaded actuator (32,34,60) which urges a roller (19) of a lock pin assembly (20) in contact with a bushing (22). In response to a side loading on the landing gear in excess of a predetermined loading, the locking pin is automatically released wherein the roller is expelled from the bushing. The threshold loading is determined as a function of the spring force applied to the lock pin assembly via the actuator linkage. The locking pin automatically reengages when the lock pin assembly is aligned with the bushing.
