A ski mounting assembly for an aircraft landing gear having a ski with a pedestal attached to it to be placed on each side of the landing gear wheel and fork, an extended wheel axle to serve as an axle for the wheel, a mounting for the wheel in the landing gear fork and to serve as a pivotable support for the ski by extending through journals in the ski pedestals, a ski attitude control arm pivotably mounted on one end of the extended wheel axle and provided with a clamp to secure the ski attitude control arm to the landing gear fork, a stop attached to the ski attitude arm so as to act against the ski to limit the downward motion of the ski nose and a spring acting between the ski and the ski attitude control arm to urge the ski against the stop.

An aircraft ski mounting assembly for an aircraft landing gear comprising: a. a ski having toe and heel portions, a bottom surface for contact with a landing surface and a pedestal integral with and protruding from the upper surface of the ski; b. a ski attitude control arm pivotably attached to said pedestal on an axis transverse to the ski, said arm being operably biased into a generally upright position against a stop limiting the maximum distance between the upper end of the arm and the toe of the ski; and c. a landing gear attachment means operably secured to said arm whereby the arm may be attached to the terminal end of an aircraft landing gear in a fixed relationship, the biased pivot between arm and ski pedestal thus acting to allow accomodation of the ski to limited changes of attitude between aircraft and landing surface without the ski toe dropping to dig into the landing surface.
