About This Item

This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) advises that some of the chemicals being used to disinfect, de-ice, and clean airplanes can cause corrosion and/or degradation of landing gear components. Landing gear equipment includes shock struts, braces, actuators, wheels, brakes, tires, and electrical components. Some of the chemicals that have been recognized as potentially injurious are identified and recommendations for mitigating damage are presented. There are several operational situations occurring that result in various fluids contacting landing gear structures and components. Such events are spraying disinfectants to combat transmutable diseases (foot and mouth), de-icing sprays and cleaning solutions. These solutions can be caustic and have detrimental effects on landing gear components with possible material degradation. This document provides information on cleaning and removing caustic fluids. It suggests procedures and methods to document such occurrences and provides recommended inspections to help minimize the impact on the landing gear system.
