Landing Gear, Tires, and Brakes The landing gear, tires, and brakes allow the airplane to maneuver from and return to the ramp, taxiway, and runway environment in a precise and controlled manner. The landing gear, tires, and brakes should ... inspected to ensure that the airplane can be positively controlled on the ground. Landing gear on airplanes varies from simple fixed gear to complex retractable gear systems. Fixed landing gear is a gear system in which the landing gear struts…

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 ... continues to operate until an up or down limit switch on the motor’s gearbox is tripped. A hydraulic landing gear retraction system utilizes pressurized hydraulic fluid to actuate linkages to raise and lower the gear. When a switch…

should consider burning off excess fuel. This reduces landing speed and fire potential. If the landing gear malfunction is limited to one main landing gear leg, the pilot should consume as much fuel from that side of the airplane ... during the landing roll until the last possible moment. Reduced impact speeds result in less damage. If only one landing gear leg fails to extend, the pilot has the option of landing on the available gear legs or landing with…

runway before any levers or switches are operated. This technique greatly reduces the chance of inadvertently retracting the landing gear while on the ground. Wait until after rollout and clearing the runway to focus attention on the after-landing checklist ... gear airplanes, it is important to consider some frequent pilot errors. These include pilots that have: ⦁ Neglected to extend landing gear ⦁ Inadvertently retracted landing gear ⦁ Activated gear but failed to check gear position ⦁ Misused emergency gear system ⦁ Retracted gear prematurely…

Fixed and Retractable Landing Gear Landing gear can also be classified as either fixed or retractable. Fixed landing gear always remains extended and has the advantage of simplicity combined with low maintenance. Retractable landing gear is designed to streamline ... airplane by allowing the landing gear to be stowed inside the structure during cruising flight. [Figure 7-39] Brakes Airplane brakes are located on the main wheels and are applied by either a hand control or by foot pedals…

Pushing the handle fully downward closes the outlet valve and allows any nitrogen present in the emergency landing gear extension system to be vented overboard. The venting process takes approximately 30 seconds. Dump Valve As compressed nitrogen is released ... landing gear selector/dump valve during emergency extension, the pneudraulic pressure actuates the dump valve portion of the landing gear selector/dump valve to isolate the landing gear system from the remainder of hydraulic system. When activated, a blue DUMP legend…
