This can be accomplished by noting how much “chrome” of the oleo strut is visible. The amount
that should be observed is typically different for the main gear and nose gear, and varies among
the different Citation models. For MOST Citation aircraft, the information can be found in the
Aircraft Operating Manual, Section IV Operating Information, Exterior Inspection. For example,
the Citation 750 Operating Manual states “Proper oleo strut extension of a fully fueled airplane is
five to seven inches”. For model specific or further information, please contact Citation Customer
Service.
How can I determine if the oleo struts are properly serviced
during a visual inspection of the landing gear?
