Keywords: loading platform, landing gear, ground loads, calibration

This paper presents a technique of landing gear calibration for ground loads using strain gauge. The emphasis is placed on the six-component loading platform, the calibration process, and the method to get the loads equation based on the influence-coefficient. Some test data and flight data are also provided.
