Landing Gear Position Indicator
See
Landing gear position indication is indicated by:
-
Five lights on the LANDING GEAR control panel
.
Three green indicator lights (one per landing gear),
.
One red warning light
GEAR UNSAFE
,
.
One amber light in the LANDING GEAR lever.
-
The
GEAR UNSAFE
CAS message.
NOTE
The amber light flashes while the hydraulic pump is operating during the
landing gear’s extension or retraction.
A correctly downlocked landing gear is confirmed when:
-
the three green indicator lights are ON,
-
the
GEAR UNSAFE
red warning light is OFF,
-
the
GEAR UNSAFE
CAS message is OFF, and
-
the amber caution light is OFF.
Any other combination indicates that the gear is not downlocked.
If there is uncertainty about the landing gear being correctly in the downlocked
position, an independent electrical circuit provides a countercheck capability of the
indication system. Pressing the CHECK DOWN pushbutton – located on the
LANDING GEAR panel – checks the gear's correct downlock, which is shown
when the green indicator lights that correspond to the downlocked gear are
flashing at a rate of 16 hertz.
Pressing the LIGHT TEST pushbutton enables the testing of all LANDING GEAR
panel lights, which will flash at a rate of one hertz.
