1. A modular landing gear wiring system for a jet aircraft, said wiring system comprising:
- a generally tubular wiring harness providing a conduit for electrical wiring, said wiring harness having connectable first, second, third, and fourth sub-assemblies;
said first sub-assembly adapted for electrical connection to aircraft electrical systems;
said second sub-assembly having a first end connectable to said first sub-assembly and a second end connectable to a weight-off-wheels sensing apparatus;
said third sub-assembly having a first end connectable to said first sub-assembly, a second end adapted for connection to a brake temperature monitoring apparatus; and
said fourth sub-assembly having a first end connectable to said third sub-assembly and a second end connectable to an anti-skid sensing apparatus.

Abstract
An improved modular landing gear harness for use on a jet aircraft is disclosed. The modular landing gear harness is divided into four sub-assemblies including the main sub-assembly, the brake temperature monitoring sub-assembly, the weight off wheels sub-assembly, and the anti-skid sub-assembly. The various sub-assemblies may be connected to form a unitary harness that provides a protective conduit for wiring for critical landing gear systems. The use of light-weight composite connectors facilitates troubleshooting and substantially reduces the overall weight of the harness assembly.
