each of the main wheels. Steering is accomplished by differential
braking.
The retraction system is controlled by a two-position electrical
switch on the center stack of the instrument panel. The switch
commands two electro-mechanical actuators, one for the nose gear
and one for the main gear, that move the gear to the intended
position, either up or down. The switch is of the “lift-lock” type that
must be pulled slightly away from the panel before it can be moved.
The handle of the switch is shaped like a wheel for easy
identification. The gear up position is indicated with the illumination
of a blue aircraft with wavy line graphic on the landing gear switch
plate. The landing gear down position is indicated by an amber
aircraft with straight line graphic. Any time the landing gear is
neither all up nor all down, a red in-transit graphic will illuminate.
The landing gear requires about seven seconds to retract or extend.
In the event of IPS deployment, the landing gear will automatically
extend to absorb additional energy at touchdown. There is no
backup or auxiliary landing gear extension system.
CAUTION
: The landing gear of the A5 can be reposi-
tioned at any time, including while on the
ground. Initiating landing gear retraction while
the aircraft is on the ground, supported by the
landing gear, may result in damage to the
aircraft.
The self-centering, full 360° castering nose wheel, allows for ease
of movement when pushing the A5 on the ground and when brake
steering. The self-centering feature ensures that the nose wheel is
aligned correctly for retraction whenever the nose wheel is clear of
the ground, whether after takeoff or after it enters the water.
