While the Retractable Wheel Landing gear configuration is described in the Kit Section,
it is a PRODUCTION LINE OPTION, and not presently approved for in the field installation.
Principal dimensions of the wheel landing gear configuration, and tire footprints and
ground loads are shown in Section 3.
Each landing gear has downlock and proximity switches to indicate landing gear position
and status through the landing gear control panel. The gear cannot be retracted when
the weight of the helicopter is on the wheels.
The Landing Gear Control Panel is located on the instrument panel and contains the
LDG GEAR switch, UNSAFE light, three gear condition lights (L,N,R), TEST switch,
and AUDIO MUTE switch. The three condition lights illuminate (green) when all three
wheels are fully extended and the downlock plungers are positioned properly. The UNSAFE
light illuminates when the landing gear is in transit or if the weight switch or nose gear
centered switch are failed.
Pressing TEST on the ground illuminates the UNSAFE light, LANDING GEAR UP caution
light, and activates the landing gear warning horn. Pressing TEST in flight (above 55
knots) illuminates all three landing gear condition lights, and the UNSAFE light. The
AUDIO MUTE switch is used to silence the landing gear warning horn (below 55 knots).
