Systems Description
POSITION INDICATORS
Landing gear position indicator lights on the right side of
the control console show red when the gear is up, or green
when it is down, illuminating only when the actuator
assembly reaches either extreme. In addition, a
mechanical indicator on the floorboard beneath the control
console shows the position of the nose gear. lts pointer is
linked by a cable to the actuating mechanism and moves
simultaneously with it. Limit switches and a dynamic
brake automatically stop the retract mechanism when the
gear reaches its full up or full down position.
CIRCUIT BREAKER
The landing gear circuit breaker is located on the right
subpanel. This circuit breaker is a pull-and-reset type
breaker. The breaker will pop out under overload
conditions.
SAFETY SWITCH
To prevent inadvertent retraction of the landing gear on
the ground, a main strut safety switch opens the control
circuit when the strut is compressed.
WARNING
Never rely on the safety switch to keep the gear
down during taxi or on take-off, landing roll, or
in a static position. Always make certain that
the landing gear switch is in the down position
during these operations.
