LANDING GEAR
1. GENERAL
This chapter describes those units and components which furnish a means of supporting and steering the
airplane. The landing gear design is of the fixed tricycle type, employing composite leaf-spring main gear
strut assemblies and a tubular nose-gear leg with a castering nose wheel. Aluminum nose and main land-
ing gear wheels are installed and are designed to be used with tubes and tires. The main wheels have
hydraulically operated, dual-disc type brakes actuated by pressing the toe brakes at each crew position.
Steering is accomplished through differential braking. (See Figure 32-001)
Main gear shock absorbing is provided by composite leaf-springs attached to the wing. (Refer to 32-10)
Nose gear shock absorption is provided by polymer shock absorbing pucks. (Refer to 32-20)
