LANDING GEAR
The landing gear is a conventional
tricycle arrangement capable of operations
on prepared, unpaved runways. The landing
gear is extended, retracted and held in
the retracted position by hydraulic pres-
sure produced by an electrically-powered
hydraulic pump. No mechanical up locks
are required.
A nitrogen-charged accumulator is
used to maintain the hydraulic pressure
necessary to hold the landing gear in the
retracted position following a hydraulic
failure. If required, the landing gear can be
lowered manually through a combination of
free falling and the emergency landing gear
