LANDING GEAR SYSTEM
Description
The landing gear system consists of the two main landing gear wheels mounted to a self-spring steel
strut and a free following nose wheel. The suspension of the nose wheel is handled by an elastomer
package.
The landing gear wheel fairings are removable. During flight operations without wheel fairings,
partially reduced flight performance must be taken into account (see Chapter 5).
Wheel Brakes
Hydraulically operated disc brakes act on the wheels of the main landing gear. The wheel brakes are
operated individually using the toe-brake pedals either on the pilot's or on the co-pilot's side.
Brake
The knob is located on the center console in front of the throttle quadrant, and is pushed in when the
brakes are to be released. To set the parking brake, pull the knob to the stop. Repeated pushing of
the. toe-brake pedals will build up the required brake pressure which will remain in effect until the
parking brake is released.
Revision No.
