LANDING GEAR The landing gear is a hydraulically actuated, pneumatic conventional system. It consists of three units- two retractable main gears with single wheels and dual brakes. The tail wheel gear is not retractable, but is full swiveling. Extension and retraction of the gear is accomplished by hydraulic actuating struts which are controlled by the landing gear control lever on the hydraulic panel. There is no mechanical down or up lock on the landing gear. In the up position, it is held in place by hydraulic pressure. In the down position, it is held in position by hydraulic pressure and by an over center position of the upper and lower trusses. Removable pins are used to safety the gear in position when the aircraft is parked.
