EXTENSION AND RETRACTION - INTRODUCTION

Purpose
The landing gear control is from a lever on the right side of the pilot center
instrument panel. When the control lever is in the UP position, these occur:
• Gear doors open

• Gear unlocks
• Gear retracts
• Gear locks
• Gear doors close.
General
Sequence valves control gear and door operation.
The landing gear position indication shows on Engine Indication and Crew
Alerting System (EICAS) and on the status and maintenance pages.
The landing gear alternate extension control system has two electrical
switches. One for the wing gear and one for the body and nose gear.
The landing gear position indication shows on EICAS and

on the status and maintenance pages. 10 Seconds after
the gear is up and locked the UP indication disappears from
the EICAS screen.
At the same time the EIU’s will cut the UP selection to the
landing gear selector valves which will move the selector
sleeves inside those valves to the OFF position.
On 747-8 the body gears have a third proximity sensor, lever

lock sensor, which is only used for the landing gear lever
lock circuit.

LANDING GEAR CONTROL SYSTEM - GENERAL DESCRIPTION

LANDING GEAR CONTROL SYSTEM - LEVER MODULE

Purpose
The landing gear control lever module transmits control lever movement to
two selector valves in the body gear wheel wells. When moved by the
control lever, the selector valves send hydraulic pressure to landing gear
sequence valves and actuators for wheel well door and gear operation.
Location
The landing gear control lever module on the right side of the center
instrument panel.
Physical Description
The landing gear lever is spring-loaded and has a roller that follows a detent
plate as the lever is moved up or down. The detent plate holds the lever in
any one of these positions, UP or DN.
Functional Description
The landing gear lever is normally blocked from movement to the UP
position by the lever lock solenoid until all four main gear have tilted and the
body gear steering actuators are locked. Manual override is possible,
however, by the lock override on the landing gear lever module.

LANDING GEAR CONTROL SYSTEM - LEVER MODULE

AIR/GROUND SYSTEM - BODY GEAR TRUCK TILT SENSOR

Purpose
Two body gear truck tilt sensors send signals to the air/ground system. A
third sensor is for the operation of the landing gear lock lever solenoid.
Location
Three rectangular proximity switch sensors are on each body gear truck
switch support bracket. Two sensors are for air/ground sensing and one
forward mounted sensor for the operation of the landing gear lock lever
solenoid.
The switch support bracket is aft and below the body gear lower torsion link.
Two steel targets are on a support bracket on the lower torsion link. One
large target is for the two air/ground sensors. One small target for the lock
lever solenoid sensor.
NOTE: Jacking the airplane or use of a gapping tool with the airplane on
the ground is necessary to do sensor/target gap adjustment.
When the shock strut extends, the lower torsion link, and targets, moves up
and to the strut. At the same time the truck, and the sensors, tilt down. This
moves the sensors away from the strut and near the lower torsion link and
targets.
When the strut is compressed on landing, the lower torsion link moves down
and away from the strut. This occurs when the truck moves up to the strut by
the airplane weight. This moves the sensors away from the targets.
The sensor/targets are near when the truck is tilted (air mode) and far when
the truck is level on the ground.

The sensors and targets are near in the air and far on the ground. The air
and ground sensor signals go to the Proximity Sensing Electronics Unit
(PSEU) (E1-3). The correct retraction configuration (air mode) is when all
main gear trucks are in the correct tilted position. Also all shock struts are at
the full extend position, and the two body gear trucks are in the center
position. Each forward body gear proximity sensor (Lever Lock) shows
target near, when the gear truck is at the 7.1 degree tilt position. The PSEU
uses this signal to show the BODY GEAR LIFTOFF signal.
The two aft body gear air/ground sensors (Primary and Alternate) show air
mode when their target is near and each body gear truck is at the 7.1 tilted
position. The PSEU uses the signals from each forward body gear tilt sensor
(Lever Lock) to give a ground to each Landing Gear Lever Unlock (tilt) relay.
The PSEU uses the signals from two aft body, two wing gear tilt sensors,
and the four body gear steering lock switches on each gear, to supply a
grounded circuit. The ground circuit goes through the Lever Unlock (tilt)
relays, to energize the Landing Gear Lever Unlock relay. When the Landing
Gear Lever Unlock relay energizes, 28 Volts Direct Current (VDC) Bus 2
electrical power can energize the lever lock solenoid. The solenoid is in the
Landing Gear Control Lever Module (P2). The lever lock releases, and the
control lever can move to the UP position. If one body gear truck is tilted too
much, the two aft sensors will continue to be target near, because of a larger
target, but the forward sensor will be target far, because it is not 7.1
degrees. There will be no circuit path for the Landing Gear Lever Unlock
relay (solenoid), and the lever lock will stay engaged.

Physical Description valve in the usual position. Gear down pressure of 500 to 1100 Pounds Per
Square Inch Differential (PSID) moves the bypass valve to its usual position.
The nose and body gear selector/bypass valve have these components:
• Dual coil UP solenoids

• Dual coil DOWN solenoids
• Solenoid-operated valve (2)
• Selector valve
• Bypass valve.
The dual coil solenoids get input from the switches in the landing gear
control lever module to control the solenoid-operated valves.
NOTE: The solenoids on the selector/bypass valves are LRUs.
The nose and body gear selector/bypass valve has an up, off, down
position. The two dual-coil solenoids control blocked hydraulic pressure to
one side or the other of the selector valve slide when they energize. When
the two solenoids are de-energized, spring and hydraulic pressure sets the
valve to the off position. If the up and down solenoids energize at the same
time, the two sides of the selector valve port to return. This will let the slide
valve springs center the valve to the off position.

solenoid-operated valves to the two sides of the gear selector valve. This
keeps the selector valve in the OFF position.
In this position, the landing gear is not pressurized.
Retraction
For gear retraction, the up solenoids get power through the up switches in
the landing gear control lever module. This moves the up solenoid-operated
valve and releases pressure from one side of the selector valve. Hydraulic
pressure and spring force move the selector valve to the UP position.
This lets hydraulic pressure go to the landing gear up lines.
Extension
For gear extension, the down solenoids get power through the down
switches in the landing gear control lever module. This moves the down
solenoid-operated valve which releases pressure from one side of the
selector valve. Hydraulic pressure and spring force move the selector valve
to the DOWN position.
This lets hydraulic pressure go to the landing gear down lines.
Bypass
The pressure operated bypass valve has a NORMAL and a BYPASS
position.

WING GEAR AND DOORS EXTENSION AND RETRACTION - PRESSURE-OPERATED RESTRICTOR CHECK VALVE
Purpose
The pressure-operated restrictor check valve decreases the wing gear
extension speed. During the first 4 to 6 seconds of landing gear movement
is when the speed decrease occurs.
Location
The pressure-operated restrictor check valve is on the aft bulkhead in the
right wing gear wheel well for the alternate extension system. It is in the
wing UP line between the retract actuator and door-operated sequence
valve.
These are the pressure-operated restrictor check valve not shown:
• Housing
• Piston
• Poppet
• Springs
• Hydraulic ports.
The two wing gear can extend with the alternate extension system when the
system 4 hydraulic system has no pressure.
During usual hydraulic system operation, the pressure-operated restrictor
check valve is open when more than 2100 Pounds Per Square Inch (PSI).
Flow from the gear actuator UP line goes through the bleed check valve to
limit gear extend velocity during when system pressure is low. The valve has
a hydraulic time delay as part of the usual bleed check.

General
When the nose gear wheel well doors are fully open, the door-operated
sequence valve moves and hydraulic pressure goes to the down side of the
nose gear actuator.
Hydraulic pressure that goes through the gear-operated sequence valve to
the nose gear door actuator supplies fluid to hold the doors open while the
nose gear extends.
The pressure operated restrictor check valve opens by return flow from the

• Shuttle Valve.
During body gear operations, when the body gear doors open, 3000 Pounds
Per Square Inch (PSI) door pressure goes to the body gear truck position
actuator through a shuttle valve. The shuttle valve lets 3000 PSI door
pressure overcome the hydraulic system 1 pressure from the pressure
reducing valve. The pressure reducing valve, when the body gear doors are
closed, decreases hydraulic system 1 pressure to 2000 PSI before it goes
through the fuse to the truck position actuator.
NOTE: If a leak starts, the fuse closes. Reset the fuse with the manual
reset lever.
The body gear truck positioning actuator tilts the wheel truck to a pitched up
position at an angle of 7 degrees after takeoff. This makes sure that the
body gear position is correct during retraction. The truck tilt actuator piston
travel lets the truck tilt from +15 degrees to -25 degrees. This lets jacking of
the forward and aft axles for wheel changes.

WHEELS AND BRAKES - INTRODUCTION

Purpose
The hydraulic braking system aids airplane control during ground operation.
Brakes hold the airplane during the following:
• Parking
• Engine runup
• Stop spinning wheels after takeoff
• Shorten the landing run
• Assist in turning when the airplane is taxied.
The brakes are operated by full 3000 Pounds Per Square Inch (PSI)
hydraulic system pressure without need for deboost valves.
General
These are the systems for the wheels and brakes:
• Hydraulic brakes - The 16 main gear wheels have hydraulic brakes. The
brake system has normal and alternate hydraulic systems
• Antiskid system - The system releases the brakes to prevent wheel
skidding
• Autobrake system - This system automatically brakes and stops the
aircraft when selected by the pilot
• Brake torque limiting system - The brake torque limiting system controls
the maximum obtainable brake torque to prevent structural damage to
the main landing gear. Brake control is through operation of the antiskid
system normal or alternate valves
• Tires and wheels - Sixteen main gear tires are on 4 four-wheel trucks.
The two nose gear tires have one axle
• Tire pressure indicating system - Tire pressure for all 18 tires shows on
either Engine Indication and Crew Alerting System (EICAS) or Central
Maintenance Computer (CMC)
• Brake temperature monitor system - Individual brake temperatures
show on either EICAS or CMC displays.

HYDRAULIC BRAKES - ANTISKID SURGE ACCUMULATOR - WING GEAR

Purpose
The wing gear antiskid surge accumulator absorbs high pressure from brake
return. This lets the brakes release more quickly and decrease tire wear.
Location
There is one antiskid surge accumulator for the brakes on the two wing
gear. It is on the left wing gear wheel well keel beam.
The wing gear antiskid surge accumulator is a 50 cubic inch accumulator.
There is an accumulator charging valve and pressure gage for servicing.
The precharge is 150 psi.
When brake pressure is released, fluid flows through the antiskid valves and
parking brake shutoff valve to system return. Between the antiskid valves
and parking brake shutoff valve orifices increase pressure and limit flow.
The wing gear antiskid accumulator absorbs the increased return pressure
and lets the brake release more quickly.

BRAKE CONTROL - BTLS - BRAKE TORQUE SENSOR

Purpose
The brake torque sensor measures the amount of torque that is applied to
the brake equalizer rod by the operation of the brake.
Location
The brake torque sensor is on the brake rod. The brake rods are connect
from the main gear shock strut inner cylinder yoke to the brake torque arm
next to each wheel.
The brake torque sensor is a strain gage bridge device which receives
excitation power (10 Volts Direct Current (VDC)) from the Brake System
Control Unit (BSCU).
The brake torque sensor output (millivolts) is to the associated torque limiter
digital integrated circuit card in the BSCU. Torque indication shows on the
Engine Indication and Crew Alerting System (EICAS) gear maintenance
page.
The BSCU transmits an excitation voltage of 10 VDC to the resistor bridge.
With no force on the brake equalizer rod, the stain gage bridge should have
an output of 0 VDC. Any change in the force on the brake equalizer rod
changes the resistance of the strain gages which changes the output signal
of the resistor bridge. Force in one direction causes a negative output
voltage and force in the other direction causes a positive output voltage. The
output signal is transmitted to the BSCU and is used to prevent damage to
the landing gear structure from too much torque during brake operation.

PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM - REMOTE BRAKE INDICATOR LIGHTS

General
There are three remote brake indicators below the P37 service interphone
control panel. These indicators give brake indications to the tow vehicle
operator:
• PARKING BRAKE ON - red

• PARKING BRAKE SET - amber
• PARKING BRAKE OFF - blue.
The red light receives a ground through two brake pressure switches in
series. These pressure switches monitor pressure in the lines to the left and
right wing gear anti-skid valves. There is a ground when pressure in the
lines is 1000 Pounds per Square Inch Gauge (PSIG) or more. The two
pressure switches that monitor brake line pressure to BRAKE ON indicators,
are in the left and right wing wheel well ceilings.
The amber light receives a ground through the close contacts of the parking
brake valve.
The blue light receives a ground through the two brake pedal position
switches. These switches operate by movement of the brake pedals and
send a ground when the left and the right brake pedals are off.

TIRES AND WHEELS - TPIS - GENERAL DESCRIPTION

General
The Tire Pressure Indicating System (TPIS) monitors the tire pressure of all
18 tires, on the ground or in-flight. Pressure sensors on each wheel send
electrical signals to each Rotating Interface Unit (RIU) and each Static
Interface Unit (SIU). The SIUs send pressure signals to the Tire and Brake
Monitoring Unit (TBMU). The TBMU is on the E1-2 shelf in the Main
Equipment Center (MEC). Power usually comes from the Direct Current
(DC). Power can also come from the ground handling bus, when the
airplane is on the ground. Display of tire pressure is on the Engine Indication
and Crew Alerting System (EICAS) gear synoptic and maintenance pages.

Purpose
The Static Interface Unit (SIU) transmits signals to and from the Tire and
Brake Monitoring Unit (TBMU) across the Rotating Interface Unit (RIU) to
the pressure sensor.
Location
The SIU is a support insert for the wheel speed transducer and in each
wheel axle.
The SIU has these components:
• Housing adapter
• Coil (Not shown)
• Electrical connector.
The main landing gear wheel SIUs are interchangeable.
The SIU and RIU together make a transformer. This lets data magnetically
transfer from the TBMU to the SIU through the RIU to the tire pressure

Physical Description • TBMU faults: Malfunctions of the TBMU isolate and the data is stores in
a NVM.
The TBMU contains the circuitry to process the 18 tire pressure signals for
display of pressure and fault messages on EICAS.
A logic circuit in the TBMU changes the 28 Volts Direct Current (VDC)
supply power to a 15 VDC or 5 VDC. This signal goes to an analog card
where it is changes to a sine wave.
The sine wave energizes the tire pressure sensors. The sensors then
transmit a signal with a frequency that is in direct proportion to the tire
pressure.
When one of these conditions occur, a tire pressure advisory signal goes to
EICAS:
• One or more tire pressures below 100 Pounds Per Square Inch (PSI)

TIRES AND WHEELS - TPIS - FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

General
Normal electrical power for the Tire Pressure Indicating System (TPIS) is 28
Volts Direct Current (VDC) BUS 4 from the P180 panel. On the ground, 28
VDC is from the 28 VDC ground handling bus on the P414 panel. Power
transfer relay R7514 in the P414 controls the power source to the Tire and
Brake Monitoring Unit (TBMU).
Each tire pressure sensor sends an electrical signal to the TBMU through
the Rotating Interface Unit (RIU) and Static Interface Unit (SIU) proportional
to tire pressure.
The analog multiplexer in the TBMU supplies a signal to the central
processor unit, proportional to a 0-300 Pounds Per Square Inch (PSI) range
for Engine Indication and Crew Alerting System (EICAS) and Central
Maintenance Computer (CMC) display.
