NATO Supply Class 1620 refers to the category of aircraft landing gear components within NATO Supply Group 16, which is dedicated to aerospace craft components and accessories.
Aircraft landing gear components are essential for the safe and efficient operation of aircraft during takeoff, landing, and ground operations. These components include various parts and systems that support the weight of the aircraft, provide stability, and facilitate movement on the ground.
Some examples of aircraft landing gear components that fall under NATO Supply Class 1620 include landing gear struts, shock absorbers, wheels, tires, brakes, and associated hydraulic and electrical systems.
These components are designed to withstand the high stresses and loads experienced during landing and takeoff, as well as the various operating conditions encountered during ground operations. They are subject to rigorous testing and certification to ensure their reliability and safety.
NATO Supply Class 1620 plays a crucial role in the maintenance, repair, and replacement of aircraft landing gear components for military and civilian aerospace craft. It provides a standardized classification system that facilitates the procurement, inventory management, and logistics support for these critical components.
By categorizing aircraft landing gear components under NATO Supply Class 1620, it becomes easier for organizations within the NATO alliance to identify, track, and acquire the necessary components for their aircraft fleets. This classification system helps streamline supply chain processes and ensures interoperability among NATO member nations.
In summary, NATO Supply Class 1620 for Aircraft Landing Gear Components in NATO Supply Group 16 for Aerospace Craft Components And Accessories is a specific classification within the NATO supply system that pertains to the procurement and management of landing gear components for aerospace craft.
Includes Shock Struts and Components; Installation Elements, such as Torsion Bars, Vibration Links, Drag Struts; Landing Gear Trunions, Axles and Shimmy Dampeners; Specially designed hydraulic power steering system components.
Excludes Mounting Braces and Mounting Plates permanently installed on aircraft (FSC 1680); Landing Wheels, Skis, and Floats (FSC 1630); Wheel Brakes and Wheel Brake Cylinders (FSC 1630).
