Ground Lesson No. 14;;The landing gear is electrically activated and hydraulically actuated. The gear system uses an electric 12‐volt, reversible pump to move hydraulic fluid. The hydraulic fluid flows in and out of an actuator that, in turn, raises and lowers the landing gear. ;The landing gear pump is located behind the baggage compartment aft bulkhead (aremovable plastic panel). Landing gear extension or retraction takes 6 to 7 seconds. There are also a series of up‐limit, down‐limit, and squat switches that control the system;Landing Gear System;When raising or lowering the landing gear, the hydraulic pump will activate and move hydraulic fluid from one side of each landing gear actuator to the other. This fluid motion moves a piston connected to an actuator rod that is connected to the appropriate landing or nose gear. The main gear actuators are located near the wheels under each wing.;Landing Gear System;Landing Gear System;Landing Gear Operating Speeds Maximum extension speed – 140 KIAS Maximum retraction speed – 109 KIAS This speed is slower than extension because the nose wheel will unlock and ram air will push the nose wheel back into the wheel well. Any faster speed and it could damage the nose gear. Maximum Emergency Extension Speed – 100 KIAS This speed is slow to allow the nose wheel to go forward into the oncoming air. There is also a large spring to help assist the nose wheel to extend forward. ;In the next slide is another diagram of the gear system. The pressures labeled are NOT important to memorize. A description of what the pressure control and relief valves do will be given later in this guide.;Landing Gear System;Each main gear or the nose gear has an up‐limit switch and a down‐limit switch to sense gear position. The left and right main gears have a squat switch. A squat switch determines if the airplane is airborne or still on the ground. The left squat switch prevents accidental gear retraction on the ground, while the right squat
