7-8 WING FLAPS

The electrically controlled, slotted fowler flaps enhance the low speed lift
characteristics of the airplane. Each flap is connected to the wing structure at
three flap track assemblies. Each flap track assembly contains two grooves in
which the flap rollers operate. The flaps may be positioned at 0°, 10°, 20° and
35° by selecting the desired position on the flap control switch. As the flap
position switch is placed in a given position, sensors in the flap power system
provide input to the flap motor and gearbox; the flap motor and gearbox drives
flexible shafts which actuate worm gear assemblies and position the flaps
as selected in the cockpit. One asymmetry sensor is installed per each flap
assembly to ensure flap symmetry. If a malfunction occurs within the flap or
between the two flaps, the asymmetry sensors will immediately discontinue
flap movement. Flap position indication is provided on the multifunction
display.

7-9 LANDING GEAR SYSTEM

The landing gear is a tricycle type with a steerable nose wheel and two main
wheels. Shock absorption is provided through the tubular spring steel main
landing gear struts with two interconnecting steel cross tubes and the air
and oil-filled nose gear shock strut. The landing gear system is designed
for operations from unimproved runways. To improve the operation from
unimproved runways, the optional oversize tires may be installed. This option
provides greater propeller ground clearance and a wider footprint for better
performance on soft surfaces.

7-10 BAGGAGE/CARGO COMPARTMENT

In the passenger version, the space normally used for carrying baggage is
the raised area aft of the cargo door to the aft cabin bulkhead. Access to
the baggage area is gained through the cargo door or from within the cabin.
Quick-release cargo tie-down straps and a cargo net are provided for securing
baggage and are attached to the compartment floor anchor points. Refer to
"Section 6" of this manual for loading limits and "Section 1" of this manual for
dimensions.
