public interface ILcdArrestingGear extends ILcdDataObject, ILcdPoint
An arresting gear is a safety device consisting of two major components:
  • engaging or catching devices
  • energy absorption devices
for the purpose of arresting both tail hook and non-tail hook equipped aircraft. This interface describes the geometry and the relationships of an arresting gear. An arresting gear is considered to be a point.

Attributes and relationships in AIS domain objects can be required or optional. When unspecified, an attribute or relationship is optional. Note that most optional attributes are modeled using features.

In future releases of AIS, optional attributes or relationship may be added to this interface. When this would happen, existing implementations may just return a specified default value for these new attributes or relationships (for instance 'null'). This will require a minimal effort to update existing code to a new version of AIS.
