Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An aircraft undercarriage comprising a shock absorber further comprising first and second portions that are mounted to slide telescopically relative to each other and that can come into internal abutment in the event of the shock absorber being compressed, the undercarriage being fitted with a detector device for detecting the shock absorber coming into internal abutment, which comprises firstly a punch secured to the first portion of the shock absorber or to a portion of the undercarriage that does not slide relative to the first portion of the shock absorber, and secondly a sacrificial piece secured to the second portion of the shock absorber or to a portion of the undercarriage that does not slide relative to the second portion of the shock absorber, the punch and the sacrificial piece being arranged in such a manner that, in the event of the two portions of the shock absorber coming into internal abutment, the punch strikes the sacrificial piece so as to form an indentation therein.
