1.3.4 Landing gear
The Savage uses the classic conventional landing gear arrangement (tail wheel). The main gear
wheels are fitted with independently controlled hydraulic toe brakes. Landing shock absorption is
provided by standard aircraft elastic cord design with a steel safety cable to prevent over-extension
or major consequences in case of bungee failure. The tail wheel is equipped with a self release
mechanism which allows it to swivel freely to reduce the turning radius.
Optional extended gear is just longer, but for the inspections point of view has no difference.
Alaskan Bushwheels or 26” Goodyear tires can be fitted to allow rough terrain operations
(optional), as well as Baby Bushwheel as tail wheel (see master equipment list). Follow specific
OEM instructions provided with those upgrade for special care of those tires.
Special hydraulic suspension system “AOSS System” can be installed optionally on the Savage
(any model). Follow installation and maintenance instructions provided with the system.
NOTE:
no major repair or alteration, as outlined in ASTM 2483, are authorised at this time. For
eventually obtaining engineering approval for any major repair or alteration, contact Zlin Aviation.
