AMPHIBIOUS LANDING GEAR SYSTEM
The landing gear incorporated within the amphibious floats on this airplane
is a retractable, quadricycle type with two full swiveling nose (or bow)
wheels and two main wheels. Shock absorption is provided by air oil shock
struts for the main gear and composite leaf springs for the bow gear. Each
main wheel is equipped with a hydraulically-actuated disc-type brake.
Normal landing gear extension and retraction accomplished by hydraulic
actuators for each gear. The hydraulic system is powered by a reversible,
electrically-driven hydraulic pump located just forward of fuselage station
166.4. Hydraulic system fluid level should be checked at 25-hour intervals
by viewing the sight glass on the side of the pump. Fill to within ½" of the
top of the sight glass by removing the vented plug and using MIL-H-5606
hydraulic fluid.
landing gear switch on the gear control unit to either the up or down
position. The landing gear will travel to the position selected, cycling the
electrically-driven hydraulic pump.
switches. When the pressure switch senses a certain amount of pressure in
the hydraulic line, which the electric pump is forcing fluid through, it will
send a signal to the motor relay shutting down the pump. The pressure
increases at the end of operation when all the actuators have traveled to the
end of their stroke. Eight position-indicator lights (four gear up and four
gear down) are provided to show landing gear position. An additional
indicator light shows that the landing gear pump motor is in operation. The
landing gear system is also equipped with an emergency hand pump with a
selector valve.
