Landing Gear & Airframe Parts
Reliable structural, landing gear and fuselage parts for maintenance and refurbishment.
Landing gear, wheels, brakes, panels and flight control surfaces carry the aircraft — literally. Aviatrading helps buyers find structural and landing gear parts from airlines, MROs, dismantlers and parts traders, with the condition and certificate type on every listing and the seller one message away.
Heavy parts, strict limits
Structural and landing gear parts are heavy, expensive and tightly controlled. Many have cycle limits and overhaul intervals, and every repair has to follow approved data. A good price means little if the life remaining is short or the records are incomplete.
On Aviatrading you can compare offers by condition and certificate, then ask the seller about life used, repairs and shipping before you commit.
Landing gear, wheels and brakes
Buyers source:
- main and nose landing gear assemblies and their components;
- shock struts, actuators and retraction parts;
- wheels, tires and brake assemblies;
- hydraulic parts for gear and brake systems;
- steering components.
Browse landing gear and tyres in the catalog.
Airframe and structural parts
For airframe maintenance and refurbishment, buyers look for:
- fuselage panels and skins;
- doors, hatches and their mechanisms;
- flight control surfaces — flaps, slats, ailerons, elevators, rudders;
- wing and empennage parts;
- fairings, access panels and composite parts.
Used structural parts from dismantled aircraft are a common, cost-effective source — see used aircraft parts for sale.
What to check before you buy
Before you pay, check:
- Fit — part number, dash number and effectivity for your aircraft.
- Life — cycles since new and since overhaul for life-limited landing gear parts, with back-to-birth records.
- Condition — corrosion, dents and previous repairs, and whether repairs were done to approved data.
- Paperwork — a release certificate such as FAA 8130-3 or EASA Form 1 for the current condition.
Ask the seller for recent photos. Our guide to FAA 8130-3 and EASA Form 1 explains the certificate fields.
Planning delivery for large parts
Gear legs, flight control surfaces and large panels are bulky and easily damaged in transit. Agree packaging and transport with the seller before you confirm the deal: ask for crate dimensions and weight, how the part will be protected, and who arranges the freight. Factor shipping time into your maintenance plan.
