Abstract
An actuator failure or disconnection detection device for an aircraft leading edge slat comprises a base and a biasing assembly mounted to the base and movable relative thereto. The base and biasing assembly are removably mountable between a fixed structure in the aircraft wing and the slat at an actuator location. The device further comprises an indicator for indicating the amount of movement of the biasing assembly in a direction towards the base when the slat is retracted towards the wing leading edge. The indicator may be a collar slidably mounted on the device.
