What operates the Landing Gear?
Retracted and extended by hydraulic actuators, powered by an electrically driven hydraulic pump.
The nose gear hydraulic actuator also operates a mechanical down lock upon extension of the nose gear. A positive mechanical uplock is actuated by a separate hydraulic actuator when the nose gear is retracted. The main gear has positive mechanical up and down locks, operated by separate hydraulic actuators.
How do the Landing Gear Lights Function?
Two position-indicator lights show that the gear is either up or down and locked.
The lights are the press-to-test type. The gear-down light (green) has two test positions. With the light pushed in half-way (throttle pulled out), the gear warning horn should sound intermittently, and with the light pushed full in, the light should illuminate.
The gear-up indicator light (amber) has only one test position. With the light pushed in, it should illuminate.
The indicator light contains dimming shutters for night operation.
When does the Landing Gear Horn sound?
Whenever the throttle is retarded below approximately 12” of manifold absolute pressure or wing flaps extended beyond 25o with landing gear retracted
Where is the Hydraulic Reservoir located?
Behind the central console.
A dipstick and filler are located on the LEFT side of the hydraulic pump
When should hydraulic fluid be added and what type?
When the fluid level is at or below the line marked ADD on the dipstick, hydraulic fluid (MIL-H-5606) should be added to the system
