WING FLAP SYSTEM
(Continued)
The standby flap motor upldown switch has UP, center off and DOWN
positions.On later airplanes, the switch is guarded in the center off
position. To operate the flaps with the standby system, lift the guard
breaking safety wire (if installed), and place the standby flap motor
switch in
STBY position; then, lift the guard (if installed), breaking
safety wire and actuate the standby flap motor upldown switch
momentarily to UP or DOWN, as desired.
Observe the flap position
indicator to obtain the desired flap position. Since the standby flap
system does not have limit switches, actuation of the standby flap
motor upldown switch should be terminated before the flaps reach full
up or down travel. After actuation of the standby flap motor system,
switch guards should be resafetied to the closed position by
maintenance personnel when maintenance action is accomplished.
The standby flap system is protected by a "pull-off' type circuit breaker,
labeled
STBY FLAP MOTOR, located on the left sidewall switch and
circuit breaker panel.
LANDING GEAR SYSTEM
The landing gear is of the tricycle type with a sreerable nose wheel and
two main wheels. Shock absorption is provided by the tubular
sprinq-
steel main landing gear struts, an interconnecting spring-steel' tube
between the two
main landing gear struts, and the nose gear oil-filled
shock strut and spring-steel drag link. Each main gear wheel is
equipped with a hydraulically-actuated single-disc brake on the inboard
side of each wheel. To improve operation from unpaved runways, and
in other conditions, the standard nose gear fork can be replaced with a
three-inch extended nose gear fork.
