Q: If I need an emergency exchange, how do I know I’ll receive that exact model?
We identify your King Air landing gear needs that are custom tailored to aircraft serial number and configuration. Simply swap out your old gear with ours, then ship your gear back to us in the same secure shipping container. We also provide the Attach Hardware which includes all the necessary installation hardware (you don’t have to worry about re-using questionable or old hardware).
Q: Does Trace offer landing gear component support?
A: Yes. Trace services actuators, struts, trunnions, side braces, torque links, and related assemblies as part of its landing gear component support programs. Trace Aviation Parts List
Q: What are common signs when landing gear may need repair or overhaul?
A: Hydraulic leaks, corrosion, uneven tire wear, or extended retraction/extension times often indicate the need for professional landing gear servicing. Customers can request landing gear quotes or coordinate repairs directly through PAG’s global network.
If you notice vibration, retraction issues, or hydraulic leaks, PAG Component Services can diagnose and repair fuel quantity indicating systems, rotor brake assemblies, and control linkages.
Q: Can Trace provide landing gear exchanges to reduce downtime?
A: Yes. Trace offers exchange sets and rotable landing gear assemblies to keep operators flying while their components undergo repair or overhaul.
If you prefer to have your landing gear inspected before you receive an exchange set, this is also an option with the benefit of no core deposit and knowing the upfront cost beforehand.
Trace’s exchange programs align with PAG’s rotable inventory management solutions to streamline landing gear and related system exchanges for mission-critical aircraft.
Q: Why is regular landing gear maintenance critical for aircraft safety?
A: Regular inspection and overhaul prevent corrosion, fatigue, and hydraulic leaks that can compromise flight safety. Trace’s MRO solutions ensure compliance and airworthiness.

Q: What is Trace’s process for landing gear overhaul?
A: Each component is disassembled, inspected, NDT-tested, repaired or replaced, then reassembled and tested to OEM or DER standards for reliability.
Trace integrates with PAG’s component exchange network. This includes actuator assemblies, hydraulic pumps, and electro-mechanical parts for faster return-to-service cycles.
