3.8.3 LANDING WITH GEAR UNSAFE/UP
With most gear problems on landing retain empty fuel tanks and reduce gross weight. Because of the
high probability of crash you may also consider shutting down the FCR and all unnecessary avionics.

Be prepared for any gear failure on landing Shut down
all non-critical avionics before landing (FCR, SMS).
Land Normally.
•
All landing gear up:
EPU ON.

(if carried).
•
