A look at the operation of landing gear latches. Up locks and down locks hold the landing gear in place so it does not move contrary to the pilot's commands.

2021年12月19日 · The main side brace of the gear leg is itself braced to hold it straight by the smaller brace in the middle that runs back to the main gear leg. The smaller lateral brace has an overcenter position that locks it against folding up when compressed, same as your leg when you stand up and lock your knees all the way back.

A landing gear safety circuit with solenoid that locks the control handle and selector valve from being able to move into the gear up position when the aircraft is on the ground. The safety switch, or squat switch, is located on the aircraft landing gear

Aircraft landing gear uplocks consist of a hydraulically actuated mechanical hook system that latches the landing gear in place and unlocks the landing gear during landing so it can be deployed. Sargent’s experience in hydraulic actuation and component manufacturing makes Sargent a logical choice to design and manufacture complete uplock ...

2021年1月4日 · In an aircraft, the lock mechanism is one of the important components of the landing gear door lock system, whose working performance affects the aircraft flight performance directly. This research focuses on reliability assessment and reliability improvement of the locking process of an aircraft lock mechanism.

landing gear strut is sufficient to indicate that the landing gear is downlocked. In addition, the E/WD “LDG LDG GEAR DN” green memo on the ECAM (before landing checklist) also confirms the landing gear is down and locked.

Other types of landing gear position indicators consist of tab-type indicators with markings "UP" to indicate the gear is up and locked, a display of red and white diagonal stripes to show when the gear is unlocked, or a silhouette of each gear to indicate when it locks in the DOWN position

2024年3月13日 · Locking springs help the crew to crank the main gear into the locked condition, and aerodynamic forces assist in the locking of the nose gear. Free-fall extension-handle is at the rear of the cockpit center pedestal. To put the landing gear down by gravity, the flight crew must pull the gear crank out, then turn it clockwise for 3 turns.

2022年4月26日 · Landing gear forms the main support of an airplane in contact with the ground. Generally, although the landing gears are wheeled, the landing gears of the aircraft can be ski or float type in operations to be carried out on ground such as water or snow.

2020年7月22日 · There are four primary landing gear system safety devices. They are the landing gear safety switch, ground locks, landing gear position indicators, and nose wheel centering. This blog will explain each of them, their role, and how they work.
