Safety Switch - Landing Gear Retraction
When the airplane is on ground, a safety switch installed on each main landing
gear prevents an accidental retraction of the landing gear by detecting the shock
strut’s compression.

"Landing gear / Landing gear"
(above 800 ft AGL) or the
"Check gear / Check

the CAS window, when:

the THROTTLE is close to the IDLE position and the landing gear is not
downlocked,

downlocked.

Emergency Landing Gear Extension Control

The emergency landing gear extension control consists of a hand pump and a
bypass selector.
This control is accessible by removing the floor panel located aft of the pedestal.
After the bypass selector is closed, the hand pump operation sends hydraulic fluid
directly into the landing gear actuators.
