Brake Problems led to A320 Skids

And.............

Not civil but seem to remember Tonkas have a similar problem with mlg connectors, get round it by paint....

In reply to el #: I think you'll find Airbus won't see it that way.
You don't say on your profile what you do for a living. If you're a pilot or engineer, then fine.

I think we all agree on that already.

... every AMM that I've ever seen for installing a leg has the task built in to ensure its properly checked.

And our ancient friend (fiend?) Murphy is waiting for somebody to not bother to execute the task properly.

Me ingénieur, yes. Me A320 wheel transducer location expert, no. So please forgive stupid question, yes?

Couldn't they have been positioned in such a way that it would have been necessary to fit two looms of a different length? In which case one of the transducers couldn't have been connected.

Obviously that hasn't been done, because the mistake is possible, and covered in the AAM.

But would it have been possible to design it that way?

PS: Not really relevant, I suppose.
By the time you are not going to fully respect the AAM when changing an u/c leg, there are a lot of other stupid mistakes lying in wait for you, the tacho wiring cross-over being only one of them.
