3. Operation
The nose gear leg has two functions. It absorbs vertical loads and it provides steering on the ground.
If the nose gear has vertical load (for example during landing), the sliding tube moves up into the
tubular strut. This movement compresses the nitrogen in the damper. When the load decreases the
sliding tube moves out of the tubular strut. The sliding tube can move quickly into the tubular strut. In
the reverse direction the speed of the sliding tube is limited by a damper. This prevents the airplane
from being pushed up after the landing and it also prevents vibration.
Refer to Section 32-50 for data about the nose wheel steering. Refer to Section 32-30 for data about
the extension and retraction system.
