Landing gear program managers carry one of the most consequential maintenance tracking responsibilities in aviation. Every cycle count, every life-limited part interval, every overhaul threshold, and every exchange-pool swap carries direct airworthiness and operational consequence. Manual cycle tracking on spreadsheets, paper travellers for LLP status, and verbal exchange-pool coordination create hard-time removal exposure that no landing gear program can afford. OxMaint's landing gear maintenance software delivers cycle-based program tracking, LLP life management, overhaul interval automation, and exchange-pool planning — integrated with the work-order engine so nothing slips to a hard-time overrun.
What Landing Gear Maintenance Software Must Deliver in 2026
Landing gear program managers face cycle-accumulation complexity across mixed fleets where MLG and NLG components run different LLP intervals, shock strut overhaul thresholds vary by operator and calendar, and exchange-pool assets cycle between tail numbers without consistent tracking. A landing gear tracking platform that cannot synchronize aircraft cycle counts with LLP remaining life, automate hard-time removal alerts, and plan exchange swaps against inbound overhaul windows creates compliance exposure on every departure. You can Sign Up Free and configure your first cycle-based LLP tracking record within the same shift. For programs managing multi-fleet exchange pools, Book a Demo to see overhaul interval automation and exchange-pool planning in your operational context.
Track remaining cycles for every LLP on every MLG and NLG assembly — synchronized against aircraft cycle accumulation — with hard-time removal alerts before expiry on any tail number.
Automate overhaul due dates by cycles, calendar, and flight hours per landing gear assembly — with advance alert windows configurable per operator maintenance program requirements.
Manage serviceable gear inventory against inbound overhaul schedule — tracking pool asset status, expected release dates, and allocation against planned removals across the fleet.
Record brake wear measurements, tire tread depth, and pressure checks at each check event — trending wear rates per position and triggering replacement work orders before minimums are reached.
Track shock strut servicing intervals, extension measurements, and seal replacement history per gear assembly — with work-order generation at configured service thresholds.
Digital inspection task cards for visual and NDT checks — with finding capture, corrective action records, and sign-off documentation auto-built at inspection close for regulatory export.
Landing Gear Software vs Generic CMMS: Why Cycle Intelligence Matters
Generic work-order platforms track maintenance tasks and asset records — but landing gear program management demands cycle-synchronized LLP tracking, hard-time removal forecasting, and exchange-pool asset planning that no facility-management CMMS provides. Here is where purpose-built landing gear software creates measurable compliance separation.

| Exchange Pool Asset Planning | Not included | Full pool management |
| Brake & Tire Wear Trend Logging | Generic asset only | Position-level trending |
| Overhaul Interval Multi-Threshold Tracking | Single threshold only | Cycles + calendar + hours |
| Shock Strut Service Interval Automation | Not included | Full service tracking |
| Regulatory LLP Traceability Export | Not available | EASA / FAA / DGCA ready |
| Implementation Time | 8–24 weeks | Under 2 weeks |
5 Operational Challenges OxMaint Solves for Landing Gear Program Managers
Landing gear program managers balance cycle-accuracy, hard-time compliance, and exchange availability simultaneously across fleets where one overrun triggers airworthiness exposure and AOG risk. These five pressure points are where purpose-built landing gear maintenance software delivers where generic tools create risk. Sign Up Free to configure your first LLP tracking record today, or Book a Demo to map each challenge against your current program management workflow.
Manual cycle-count updates on spreadsheets consistently lag actual aircraft accumulation — creating LLP remaining-life errors that are only discovered at inspection or audit. OxMaint synchronizes LLP cycle consumption against aircraft cycle records at every update, keeping hard-time visibility accurate across every gear assembly.
Without configurable advance-alert windows, LLP hard-time removals surface in the short-term planning window with insufficient exchange or parts lead time. OxMaint's automated LLP alert system provides configurable advance windows — giving program managers the lead time needed to schedule removals against available exchange assets without AOG exposure.
Managing gear exchange pool availability against inbound removal schedule without a planning tool creates exchange shortfalls that ground aircraft. OxMaint's exchange-pool module tracks serviceable inventory status, expected overhaul release dates, and demand against planned removal windows — preventing exchange gaps before they become AOG events.
Recording brake wear measurements and tire tread readings without trending wear rate per position means replacement need is only identified at minimum — not in advance. OxMaint trends brake and tire wear per wheel position across check events, projecting replacement thresholds and triggering work orders before minimum limits are reached.
Reconstructing LLP part traceability — serial numbers, removal work orders, shop visit histories — from paper travellers during EASA or FAA audits is high-risk and time-consuming. OxMaint links every LLP record to its installation work order, removal event, and shop visit with full audit export at any point in the component lifecycle.
Landing Gear Program Management by the Numbers

How OxMaint Powers the Full Landing Gear Maintenance Workflow
OxMaint's landing gear module covers the complete program management cycle — from cycle accumulation and LLP life tracking through overhaul planning, exchange-pool management, and compliance documentation. Program managers gain hard-time visibility and exchange-pool control without switching between disconnected tools or reconstructing records at audit time.
Automatic cycle accumulation updates per tail number — maintaining real-time remaining-life accuracy for every LLP and overhaul threshold across the gear program.
Fleet-wide LLP expiry calendar showing upcoming hard-time removals by component, assembly, and tail — with configurable advance-alert windows and work-order auto-generation.
Structured induction work orders for gear shop visits — with LLP disposition instructions, inspection findings capture, parts tracking, and release-to-service documentation at completion.
Serviceable gear inventory tracking against demand calendar — with pool asset status, overhaul release projections, and allocation planning for upcoming program removals.
Per-position brake wear, tire tread, strut extension, and pressure records at every check event — trending wear rates and triggering replacement or servicing work orders at configured thresholds.
Auto-built LLP traceability records, removal work-order links, and shop visit documentation — exportable to EASA, FAA, and DGCA formats with zero post-event administrative reconstruction.
