- Chapter 7: Aircraft Systems › Electrical System
Some have a warning light that, when lighted, indicates a discharge in the system as a generator/alternator malfunction. Refer to the AFM/POH for appropriate action to be taken. Another electrical monitoring indicator is a loadmeter. This type of gauge ... Systems There are multiple applications for hydraulic use in aircraft, depending on the complexity of the aircraft. For example, a hydraulic system is often used on small airplanes to operate wheel brakes, retractable landing gear, and some constant-speed propellers…

aircraft must be serviced with the type specified by the manufacturer. Refer to the AFM/POH or the Maintenance Manual. Landing Gear The landing gear forms the principal support of an aircraft on the surface. The most common type of landing ... gear consists of wheels, but aircraft can also be equipped with floats for water operations or skis for landing on snow. [Figure 7-37] The landing gear on small aircraft consists of three wheels: two main wheels (one located…
- Chapter 7: Aircraft Systems › Hydraulic Systems › Fixed and Retractable Landing Gear
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…
- Chapter 7: Aircraft Systems › Hydraulic Systems › Tailwheel Landing Gear
Tailwheel Landing Gear Tailwheel landing gear airplanes have two main wheels attached to the airframe ahead of its CG that support most of the weight of the structure. A tailwheel at the very back of the fuselage provides a third ... larger propeller and is more desirable for operations on unimproved fields. With the CG located behind the main landing gear, directional control using this type of landing gear is more difficult while on the ground. This is the main disadvantage…
- Chapter 11: Helicopter Emergencies and Hazards › System Malfunctions › Landing—Stuck Neutral or Right Pedal
Landing—Stuck Neutral or Right Pedal The landing profile for a stuck neutral or a stuck right pedal is a low-power approach terminating with a running or roll-on landing. The approach profile can best be described ... shallow to normal approach angle to arrive approximately 2–3 feet landing gear height above the intended landing area with a minimum airspeed for directional control. The minimum airspeed is one that keeps the nose from continuing…
- Chapter 4. Air Traffic Control › Section 3. Airport Operations › 4-3-11. Pilot Responsibilities When Conducting Land and Hold Short Operations (LAHSO)
pilot-in-command has the final authority to accept or decline any land and hold short clearance. The safety and operation of the aircraft remain the responsibility of the pilot. Pilots are expected to decline a LAHSO clearance if they ... readily available, the published ALD and runway slope information for all LAHSO runway combinations at each airport of intended landing. Additionally, knowledge about landing performance data permits the pilot to readily determine that the ALD for the assigned runway…
