Q

How is the gear designed to assist in absorbing shock during the landing?

A

At touchdown, the lower portion of each strut is forced into the upper cylinder which will move fluid through an orifice which compresses the air charge to absorb the landing shock

Q

Emergency gear extension

A

Reduce speed to 130, landing gear control switch handle to DN position, pull the LANDING GEAR RELAY circuit breaker

Pull up on emergency engage handle in the floor, turn clockwise to the stop. (This will disconnect all electrical power to gear motor)

Pump extension handle until the 3 green position lights come on or until resistance is felt
