Do you think we should end any and all relationships with Israel?

Why does a landing gear component need to be replaced based on flight time? Shouldn't it be based on number of take-offs and landings?

Maybe it’s just easiest to build replacement into the maintenance schedule based on flight hours even though landing is the actual wear and tear

At the end of the day, there's a limit on flight hours before a plane must be landed.

Using an average flight length, you can determine after how many flight hours the component needs to be replaced by doing max_flights * avg_flight_length where max_flights is the maximum number of landing + takeoffs the component can handle. 1 landing and 1 takeoff = 1 flight.

Didn't work out so well for us last time.
Hate to be a party pooper but the only approved vendor doesn't mean Israel couldn't cobble something together.
Any inconvenience helps
Yeah, what would happen is another vendor being approved elsewhere, meaning it was pointless and they lost business.
Ending any relationship with Israel is not pointless.
While presumably not as disposable cursory research shows the the horizontal tail assembly is provided exclusively by Canada and UK.
Dear Australia,
Please make us look like humans.
