LANDING GEAR
3.5.1. Description
•
Main landing gear
The main landing gear consists of the left and right landing gear legs. The legs are formed from
composite / fiberglass and are fixed by means of bolts in the fuselage casing under the seats. Wheel axles
are bolted to the lower part of the main landing gear legs. The main wheels on both legs are equipped with
hydraulic disc brakes controlled by a hand lever in the central console between the seats. The wheels can be
covered with the fiberglass fairings (wheel pants).
•
Nose wheel landing gear
The steerable nose landing gear consists of a front landing gear leg, a rubber bungee suspension
unit and a suspension stop. The nose leg is made of a steel tube, attached to the firewall by two bearings.
The axle, with wheel attached, is connected to the welded bushing at the bottom part of the leg. Two rods
are used for the leg steering by the control pedals.
