Landing Gear
Nose Gear Tire
5.00-5 10 PR - Inflation pressure: 98 psi (6.7 bars) *
Main Gear Tires
18 5.5 10 PR - Inflation pressure: 135 psi (9.32 bars) *
Nose Gear Shock Absorber
Fill with AIR 3520 B (MIL.H5606E) hydraulic fluid; inflate with nitrogen to 87 psi (6
bars).
Main Gear Shock Absorbers
Fill with AIR 3520 B (MIL.H5606E) hydraulic fluid; inflate with nitrogen to 160 psi
(11 bars).
Hydraulic System
Check every 100 hours and service with AIR 3520 B (MIL.H5606E) hydraulic fluid.
Brakes
Service as required with AIR 3520 B (MIL.H5606E) hydraulic fluid.
NOTE
In very cold conditions, it is necessary to apply higher inflation pressures to
tires and shock absorbers – refer to
Subsection Utilization in Cold Weather (-0
°C to -25 °C) or Very Cold Weather (-25 °C to -40 °C)
(*) Tire inflation pressures are given for an airplane on the ground at 21 °C. An
ambient temperature change of 3 °C produces a change in pressure of
approximately 1%.
Oxygen
An oxygen replenishment device is installed directly on the oxygen cylinder head.
It consists of a charging valve and a pressure gauge graduated from 0 to 2,000
PSIG. A chart located on the inside of the cylinder service door – see
– indicates the maximum cylinder charge pressure for the ambient temperature.
