LANDING GEAR Lever
UP –
Landing gear retracts.
When the LANDING GEAR lever is moved to UP, the
landing gear begins to retract. During retraction, the
brakes automatically stop rotation of the main gear wheels.
After retraction, the main gear are held in place by
mechanical uplocks. Rubber seals and oversized hubcaps
complete the fairing of the outboard wheels.
The nose wheels retract forward into the wheel well and
nose wheel rotation is stopped by snubbers. The nose
gear is held in place by an overcenter lock and enclosed
by doors which are mechanically linked to the gear.
After the landing gear has fully retracted, the LANDING
GEAR lever is moved to the OFF position.
