7.7 LANDING GEAR
The fixed gear PA-28-161 is equipped with a Cleveland 5.00 x 5 wheel on the nose gear and a
Cleveland 6.00 x 6 wheel on each main gear (Figure 7-1). Cleveland single disc hydraulic brake assemblies
are provided on the main gear. The nose gear has a 5.00 x 5 four ply tire, while the main wheel assemblies
have 6.00 x 6 four ply tires. At gross weight, the main gear tires require a pressure of 24 psi, and the nose
gear tire requires a pressure of 30 psi.
The nose gear is steerable through a 30 degree arc each side of center by the use of the rudder pedals
and toe brakes. A spring device is incorporated for rudder centering and to provide rudder trim. A bungee
assembly on the nose gear steering mechanism reduces ground steering effort and dampens shocks and
bumps during taxiing. The steering mechanism also incorporates a shimmy dampener.
The three struts are of the air-oil type with the normal static load extension being 3.25 inches for the
nose gear and 4.50 inches for the main gear.
The brakes are actuated by toe brake pedals which are attached to the rudder pedals or by a hand lever
and master cylinder located below and behind the center of the instrument sub panel. Hydraulic cylinders
are located above each pedal and adjacent to the hand brake lever. The brake fluid reservoir is installed on
the top left front face of the fire wall. The parking brake is incorporated in the master cylinder and is
actuated by pulling back on the brake lever and depressing the knob attached to the left side of the handle.
To release the parking brake, pull back on the brake lever to disengage the catch mechanism and allow the
handle to swing forward (refer to Figure 7-5).
