8.2.2 Nose landing gear
The nose landing gear of PS-28 Cruiser airplane is not steerable and consists of steel welded
landing gear leg (1, Fig. 8-3), aluminum fork (1, Fig. 8-4), shock absorber (2, Fig. 8-3) and the
wheel (9). The landing gear is attached to the brackets (7) installed on the bulkhead No. 1.
Two nose landing gears can be mounted on the PS-28 Cruiser:
•
Original NLG No. SG0270N and
•
Improved NLG No. SG0300N.
Improved NLG has enlarged the inner cross section of the tube, modified fork (used stronger Al
alloy and added third reinforcement), modified pin (used stronger steel). Both nose landing gear
legs have identical geometry.
NOTE:
Due to the similarity of both nose landing gear legs and the same maintenance
procedures the original pictures are mostly retained.
