DESCR/OPERATION

7.11 LANDING GEAR

The Arrow is equipped with a retractable tricycle landing gear, which
is hydraulically actuated by an electrically powered reversible pump. The
pump is controlled by a selector switch on the instrument panel to the left of
the control quadrant (Figure 7-3). The landing gear is retracted or extended in
about seven seconds.
During normal landing gear operation, the Emergency Gear Extension
Lever, located between the front seats to the left of the flap handle (figure
7-9), should be in the up position to permit proper gear retraction/operation.
To perform an emergency gear extension, the emergency gear lever must be
held in the down position to manually release hydraulic pressure and permit
the gear to free fall. The nose gear is spring assisted.
Gear down and locked positions are indicated by three green lights
located to the left of the selector. A red WARNING GEAR UNSAFE light,
located at the top of the panel, illuminates while the gear is in transit, or not
in the full up or locked down position. An all lights out condition indicates
the gear is up. The landing gear should not be retracted above a speed of 107
KIAS and should not be extended above a speed of 129 KIAS.
