Landing Gear Angle Transmitter

Landing Gear Angle Transmitters are components of the Aircraft Alarm and Signal Systems supply class. They fall under the supply group Alarm, Signal, and Security Detection Systems.

These transmitters are responsible for measuring and transmitting the angle of the landing gear on an aircraft. They provide crucial information to the pilot and other systems on board, ensuring the safe operation of the landing gear during takeoff, landing, and taxiing.

The Landing Gear Angle Transmitter typically consists of sensors, electronic circuitry, and a communication interface. The sensors are designed to accurately measure the angle of the landing gear, which can vary depending on the position of the gear (retracted, extended, or in transition). The electronic circuitry processes the sensor data and converts it into a signal that can be transmitted to the aircraft's avionics system or other relevant systems.

The transmitted angle information is used by various systems, including the cockpit display, warning systems, and maintenance monitoring systems. It allows the pilot to have real-time visibility of the landing gear position, ensuring proper deployment and retraction. Additionally, the angle transmitter can trigger alarms or warnings if any abnormalities or malfunctions are detected, providing an extra layer of safety.

Overall, Landing Gear Angle Transmitters play a critical role in the safe and efficient operation of an aircraft's landing gear system, providing accurate and reliable information to the pilot and other systems on board.
