An aircraft assembly jig for fitting a number of landing gear door components to an aircraft. The jig includes a lifting device for elevating the components towards the aircraft for fitting, and a number of adjustable platforms attached to the lifting device, each of which holds one of the landing gear door components. The adjustable platforms allow each of the components to be positioned independently so that when elevated together towards the aircraft by the lifting device, each component is correctly and independently aligned and positioned for installation at the aircraft.
