DESCRIPTION

SAFETY

Safety switch (landing gear retraction)
A safety switch installed on each main landing gear prevents, by detecting shock strut compression, landing gear
accidental retraction when airplane is on ground.
Landing gear horn
Landing gear horn is controlled by throttle and / or flaps. It sounds (continuous high-pitched sound) when :
- throttle is on IDLE position and landing gear is not down-locked,
- flaps are beyond "TO" position (Takeoff) and landing gear is not down-locked.
If one of above conditions exists and airplane is in stall configuration, the audio-warning
signal becomes alternated (high-pitched sound / low-pitched sound).
Emergency landing gear extension control (Figure 7.5.2)
Emergency landing gear extension control consists of a hand pump and a by-pass selector.
This control is accessible by removing the floor panel located aft of the pedestal.
After bypass selector closing, hand pump operation sends hydraulic fluid directly into landing gear actuators ;
landing gear full extension and locking requires about 65 cycles.
