GROUND CONTROL
The J160/J170 is fitted with mechanical linkage from the rudder pedals to the
nose wheel. This gives ground steering control. The minimum turning radius is
approximately 5m (or approximately 1m outboard of the wingtip).
When shut down, the aircraft is easily manoeuvred on level ground by one
person without the aid of special ground handling equipment.
WING FLAP SYSTEM
The wing flaps are of the single slotted type with three indicated positions; Up,
Take-Off and Land.
The position of the flaps is controlled manually by the pilot – a position
indicator is fitted on the pilot’s side “A” pillar (between the windscreen and
the front of the door opening).
The selected position can be easily confirmed by visual observation of the
flaps.
The flap system is electrically actuated. The flaps are extended by
mechanical force provided by the flap motor operating on a torque tube
and push rod mechanism.
The flap structure is of GRP material and has been designed to withstand all
air loads within the approved operating envelope.
UNDERCARRIAGE SYSTEM
The main undercarriage is of GRP. Jabiru wheel and brake assemblies are
fitted, using 500 x 6 6-ply tyres. The nose wheel undercarriage is a rubber
compression spring – steering is via pushrods direct from the rudder pedals.
The nose wheel is a Jabiru assembly with 500 x 6 6-ply tyre.
