A latch assembly (200) for a shock strut (30) comprises a first linkage (202) coupled to a strut cylinder (110) and a shrink piston (130) of the shock strut, to regulate translation, i.e. shrinking and unshrinking, of shrink piston (130) relative to strut cylinder (110). A second linkage (204) is coupled to the strut cylinder (110) and to a static structure (101). The second linkage (204) is configured to rotate the first linkage (202) between a locked position and an unlocked position, in response to the shock strut (30) pivoting relative to the static structure (101) between a landing gear up position and a landing gear down position.
