Emergency Response Systems Airplanes may have installed systems that provide alternatives in certain emergency situations. For example, ballistic parachute systems, if installed, may be deployed in an emergency allowing an airplane to descend slowly enough toward the ground such that ... occupants usually survive the resulting impact with minor or no injuries. Airplanes may also have an Emergency Autoland (EAL) system, which can take over control of the aircraft when necessary for a safe outcome. Ballistic Parachutes Deployment of an airplane…

Landing Gear Systems An electrical landing gear retraction system utilizes an electrically-driven motor for gear operation. The system is basically an electrically-driven jack for raising and lowering the gear. When a switch in the flight deck is moved ... position, the electric motor operates. Through a system of shafts, gears, adapters, an actuator screw, and a torque tube, a force is transmitted to the drag strut linkages. Thus, the gear retracts and locks. Struts are also activated that open…

Turning the master switch to the ON position provides electrical energy ... electrical equipment circuits except the ignition system. Equipment that commonly uses the electrical system for its source of energy includes: • Position lights • Anticollision lights • Landing lights • Taxi lights • Interior cabin lights • Instrument lights • Radio equipment • Turn indicator Fuel gauges Electric…

System Malfunctions Electrical System The loss of electrical power can deprive the pilot of numerous critical systems, and therefore should not be taken lightly even in day/visual flight rules (VFR) conditions. Most in-flight failures of the electrical system ... located in the generator or alternator. Once the generator or alternator system goes off line, the electrical source in a typical light airplane is a battery. If a warning light or ammeter indicates the probability of an alternator or generator…
