Systems Description

LANDING GEAR SYSTEM

CONTROL SWITCH

The landing gear is controlled by a two-position switch on the
right side of the pilot's subpanel. The switch handle must be
pulled out of the safety detent before it can be moved to the
opposite position. Never operate the landing gear electrically
with the handcrank engaged.
The landing gear will not retract unless one
of the throttles is in a position correspond-
ing to approximately 15 in. Hg manifold
pressure or above.
Do not change the position of the control
switch to reverse the direction of the land-
ing gear while the gear is in transit, as this
could cause damage to the retract mecha-
nism.

POSITION LIGHTS

Landing gear position lights are located above the control
switch. Three green lights, forming a triangle to represent the
individual gears, are illuminated whenever the gears are down
and locked. A red light, immediately to the right of the three
green lights, illuminates anytime one or all of the landing gears
are in transit or in any intermediate position. All of the lights are
extinguished when the gears are up and locked.
