INTRODUCTION
Aircraft landing gear supports the entire weight of an
aircraft during landing and ground operations.
They are attached to primary structural members of the
aircraft.
For snow it will be skis type
For water it may of pontoon type
For ground and water An amphibious aircraft with
retractable wheels
TYPES OF LANDING GEAR
ARRANGEMENT
A. Tail wheel type (Conventional)
B. Tandem loading gear (longitudinally Aligned)
C. Tricycle type landing gear
Fixed Landing Gear- A gear is attached to the airframe and
remains exposed to the slip stream as the air craft is flown.
With the landing gear in the down position, the lock link
end fitting is adjusted so that the side brace links are held
firmly over - centre.
Landing Gear Alignment ,Support and
Retraction
Components of a LGS ,Typically these are the torque links,
trunion and bracket arrangements, drag strut linkages,
electrical and hydraulic gear retraction devices, as well as
locking, sensing, and indicating components.
Alignment
This is set by the manufacturer and only requires occasional
attention such as after a hard landing.

Air Craft Brakes
The brakes slow the aircraft and stop it in a reasonable amount
of time. They hold the aircraft stationary during engine run-up
and, in many cases, steer the aircraft during taxi.
The nose wheel may have or may not have a brake. In the
typical brake system, mechanical and/or hydraulic linkages to the
rudder pedals allow the pilot to control the brakes.
