LANDING GEAR



1. NORMAL OPERATION AND INDICATION

Landing gear is powered by the CENTER hydraulic system.

Landing gear lever is prevented from being moved to UP by the Lever lock which is :
- controlled by main gear tilt sensors
- released when BOTH main gear TILT after T/O

LOCK OVRD switch may be pushed as the gear will tilt by itself during retraction.

MAIN gear locking provided by a SIDE brace and a DRAG brace :
- if DRAG brace fails to lock, try by increasing the speed (max 270 kt)
- if SIDE brace fails to lock, try by reducing the speed

GEAR and DOORS lights ON during gear retraction and extension

The tailskid is linked to the gear operation except in ALTERNATE. No speed nor drag limitation if the tailskid
remain extended.


2. NORMAL EXTENSION

When the MAIN gear & NOSE gear have extended, doors close.


3. ALTERNATE EXTENSION

ALTERNATE extension should be used when :
- Center hydraulics is U/S
- any gear does not extend

Alternate extension = Electric motor releases the UPLOCK of the NOSE gear and LOCKING DOORS
mechanism for the MAIN gears

Main gear DOORS remain open, but there is adequate ground clearance.

With NOSE gear down and locked, the NOSE GEAR DOOR indication is inhibited.


4. AIR/GROUND LOGIC

MAIN gear tilt sensors on each MAIN gear = air/ground sensing system.

Nose gear compressed sensing system provides logic to relays controlling stall warning and portions of the
caution and warning system.

On some aircraft (on ground only), an EICAS advisory message for AIR/GND SYS or NOSE A/G SYS indicates
that some portion of the sensing system has failed in the air position. Affected equipment and systems will not
operate normally.

5. NOSE WHEEL STEERING

Center hydraulic or the reserve brakes and steering system provide power for the Nose wheel steering
180 turn requires a minimum of 44.5 m pavement width.
NOSE gear deflection is 6 by rudder and 65 by tiller.
Wing tip radius is greater than tail radius.


6. FAULTS




(amber) : Either MAIN gear or NOSE gear door open when NOSE gear not extended. (AOM 18.10.01)



Gear disagrees with lever position :
- Any MAIN gear door open with gear lever in OFF or UP position
(amber) - Gear lever not properly seated in detent.





(amber) : Tailskid disagrees with lever position.



(green) : Valid also for LEFT & RIGHT / Respective gear down & locked.
