Study Notes
Weight-On-Wheels (WOW) Proximity Sensors
- WOW proximity sensors monitor the compression of the landing gear shock struts, and the movement of the torsion link.
- Two independent proximity sensors, for SYS 1 and SYS 2 are installed at each gear.
- The shock absorber on the ground is FAR from the sensor.
- The shock absorber in flight is NEAR to the sensor.
