GROUND CONTROL
NOSE GEAR STEERING
Nose gear steering system consists of a steering horn on the nose gear leg linked to the rudder
pedals by push--pull tubes. Rudder pedal action steers the nose wheel. Gear retraction relieves
the rudder control system of its nose wheel steering and centers wheel to permit retraction into
the nose wheel well. Minimum turning radius on the ground is 40 feet (12.0 m) to the right and 48
feet (14.4 m) to the left. Adjustable steering stops have been incorporated on nose gear leg as-
sembly.
--CAUTION--
The nose wheel must not be swivelled beyond 11
o
left or 13
o
right of center. To
exceed these limits may cause structural damage.
TAXIING AND GROUND HANDLING
The aircraft can be easily taxied with minimum use of brakes. Minimum turning radius is 40 ft.
(12.0 m) right & 48 ft. (14.4 m) left, without use of brakes. A MANUAL towbar is provided to
ground handle aircraft. Care must be used to not swivel nose wheel beyond 13
o
right or 11
o
left
from center. Adjustable steering stops are incorporated on nose gear leg assembly.
--CAUTION--
Exceeding steering swivel angle limits may cause structural damage.
LANDING GEAR
CONSTRUCTION
Landing gear legs are constructed of chrome--molybdenum tubular steel, heat--treated for great-
er strength and wear resistance. Main gear leg attaching points pivot in bearing surfaces on for-
ward and stub spars. The nose gear mounts on cabin tubular steel frame. Rubber discs in all
gear leg assemblies absorb shock of taxiing and landing.
RETRACTION SYSTEM
Landing gear is electrically retracted and extended. The landing gear switch operates a landing
gear actuator relay. Pull wheel--shaped knob out and move it to upper detent to raise landing
gear. An Airspeed Safety Switch, located on left fuselage side adjacent to the pilot’s left knee and
connected to the airspeed indicator, is incorporated into the electrical system to prevent landing
gear retraction while on the ground and until a safe takeoff speed (approximately 60

5 KTS) is
reached. A properly rigged up--limit switch will stop landing gear in its retracted position. Move
control knob to its lower detent to lower landing gear. A properly rigged down--limit switch will
stop landing gear actuating motor when proper force has been exerted to hold landing gear in the
down--and--locked position. Bungee springs pre--load the retraction mechanism in an over cen-
ter position to assist in holding landing gear down. A landing gear safety by--pass switch override
is provided, next to the gear switch, to allow the landing gear to retract for maintenance pur-
poses. Depress and hold this switch to manually by--pass airspeed safety switch and allow land-
ing gear to retract. The electrical extension or retraction system will not operate if the manual
extension lever is not properly positioned down (refer to Emergency Extension System section).
