MAIN (Cont.)
J. Check and Adjustment of Gear Back-Up Extender Actuator (Refer to Figure 6) (cont.)
(3) To check adjustment of electrical switch (cont.):
(f) Check gear operation in the normal manner with gear selector switch. The emergency
extension lever must be held in the up override position.
(g) Ensure gear is down and locked; remove airplane from jacks. Flight check retractable landing
gear system. (Refer to Operational Check of Retractavble Landing Gear System)
K. Operartional Check of Retractable Landing Gear System
(1) Airplanes equipped
with
back-up gear extender:
(a) Maximum Gear Extend: Place the gear selector in the down position at 130 KIAS. In approx-
imately 5 to 10 seconds the three green gear lights should be on indicating that the gear is
down and locked.
(b) Minimum Gear Retract: Allow approximately 8 seconds for the pressure in the hydraulic sys-
tem to normalize between gear extension and retraction. Place the selector switch in the UP
position at 109 KIAS. In approximately 5 to 10 seconds all the gear indicating lights should
be out, indicating that the gear is fully retracted.
(c) Back-Up Extender Override Gear Down and Up:
1 Down: Establish a normal glide at approximately 113 KIAS, with power at idle. Slowly
move override lever down, while observing ammeter to confirm that hydraulic pump
does not start. Gear should extend and lock. Move gear selector switch down. Release
override lever. Gear should remain down.
2 Up: Set maximum climb power. Maintain approximately 70 KIAS for approximately 15
seconds. Move gear selector switch to up position. The gear should not retract. Pull over-
ride lever up. Gear should retract. Allow airspeed to increase to at least 113 KIAS.
Release override lever; gear should remain up.
(d) Back-Up Extender Gear Down and Up:
1 Gear Down: Set power at idle. Glide airplane at 113 KIAS. Decrease airspeed at the rate
of 1 knot per second. Gear should start down between 98 to 108 KIAS. After gear is
down and locked place gear selector switch down.
2 Gear Up: Set maximum climb power. Maintain approximately 70 KIAS for approximately
15 seconds. Move gear selector up. Gear should stay down and locked. Increase airspeed
at the rate of 1 knot per second. Gear should begin to retract between 76 and 85 KIAS at
zero
density
altitude. The speed at which gear starts to retract will increase 1.3 KIAS for
each 1000 feet increase of
density
altitude.
3 Manual Override Up Latch: With the gear up, the aircraft in normal flight configuration,
select up on the gear override lever. Engage the up latch. The amber up latch warning
light, below the gear selector switch, should be flashing. Gradually slow the aircraft
below the auto gear extend speed and observe that the gear stays fully retracted.
Disengage the up latch. The flashing amber warning light should go out.
