Question: 1 / 1030

How is the oil level of an air and oil shock strut most commonly checked?

By a dipstick measurement

By weighing the strut

By releasing the air and seeing that the oil is to the level of the filler plug

The oil level of an air and oil shock strut is most commonly checked by releasing the air and observing that the oil is at the level of the filler plug. This method ensures that the correct amount of oil is present in the strut for proper operation. Checking the oil level using a dipstick measurement or by weighing the strut would not provide an accurate indication of the oil level. Electronic sensors are not commonly used for checking the oil level in air and oil shock struts in most general aviation aircraft.
