The 67023-000 is a Piper OEM left-hand (LH) squat switch mounting bracket, used in the aircraft landing gear safety system. It serves as the structural support for the squat switch (weight-on-wheels switch), which detects whether the aircraft is on the ground or airborne.

In typical Piper landing gear systems, the squat switch prevents certain systems from operating while the aircraft is on the ground (such as gear retraction, or specific flight system logic depending on model). The bracket ensures correct positioning and secure mounting of the switch so it can accurately engage with the landing gear mechanism when the aircraft compresses under weight.

The LH bracket is installed on the left side of the landing gear assembly and works as part of a paired system (often with a right-hand counterpart depending on aircraft configuration). Proper alignment is critical because even small misadjustments can lead to incorrect squat switch signaling, which may affect landing gear logic or aircraft system behavior.

Manufactured to Piper OEM standards, the bracket is typically made from corrosion-resistant aircraft-grade aluminum or steel, designed to withstand vibration, shock loads from landing impact, and environmental exposure.
