Cessna 210B - Landing Without Positive Indication of Gear Locking; Landing with One Defective Main Gear; Landing with Defective Nose Gear

1-'l.V
Emergency Procedures
LANDING WITHOUT POSITIVE INDICATION OF GEAR LOCKING.
Should a flickering, unsteady, or inoperative gear-down (green) light
be obtained, and observers verify that the gear is down and apparently in
the locked position, proceed as follows:
(1)
Make a normal full-flaps approach.
(2) Holding the landing gear handle in the "DOWN" pOSition and main-
taining a minimum of 1000 RPM, complete the landing and taxi clear
of the runway.
NOTE
Maintaining 1000 RPM and holding the
gear handle "DOWN" secures
the landing gear in the extended position by hydraulic pressure.
(3) BEFORE reducing engine RPM or releasing gear handle, have
ground personnel depress the tail until nose gear is off ground .
NOTE
The nose gear requires hydraulic pressure to hold it in the "DOWN"
position if it is not mechanically locked.
(4) Stop the engine and determine that the nose gear is mechanical ly
locked down BEFORE lowering the nose wheel to the ground.
LANDING WITH ONE DEFECTIVE MAIN GEAR.
If one main gear should malfunction so that is does not extend, or only
partially extends, prepare for a wheels-down landing as follows:
(1)
Turn fuel selector valve handle to lighten the fuel load on the de-
fective gear side as much as practical before attempting a landing.
(2) Select a Wide, hard-surfaced or smooth sod runway. If a cros s-
wind landing is necessary, select a runway with the crosswind fr om
the side opposite the defective gear.
NOTE
If terrain is rough or soft, plan a wheels-up landing as presented
under "FORCED LANDING (Precautionary Landing with Power)"
in lieu of the following steps.
(3) P lace landing gear handle "DOWN. "
(4)
Extend flaps to 40°.

Emergency Procedures
(5) In approach, align airplane with edge of runway oppOSite the de-
fective gear, allowing for a ground-loop toward the defective gear
during the landing roll.
(6) Turn off master switch.
(7) Land slightly wing-low toward the operative gear, and lower th e
nose wheel immediately for positive steering.
(8) Pull mixture control knob to idle cut-off.
(9) Turn ignition switch "OFF. "
(10) Use full aileron in landing roll to lower wing to the ground gently.
(11) Apply brake only to the operative gear as required to maintain
directional control and minimize landing roll.
(12) Turn fuel selector valve handle to "BOTH OFF."
(13) Evacuate the airplane as soon as it stops.
LAN DING WITH DEFECTIVE NOSE GEAR.
If the nose gear does not extend or only partially extends and observers
verify that it is not down, prepare for a wheels-down landing as follows:
(1)
Transfer movable load to baggage area, and front seat passenger
to rear seat if a rear seat position is unoccupied.
(2) Select a hard-surfaced or smooth sod runway.
NOTE
If terrain is rough or soft, plan a wheels-up landing as presented
under "FORCED LANDING (Precautionary Landing with Power)"
in lieu of the following steps.
(3) Place landing gear handle "DOWN. "
(4)
Extend flaps to 40°.
(5) Turn off master switch.
(6) Land in a slightly tail-low attitude.
(7) Pull mixture control knob to idle cut-off.
(8) Turn ignition switch "OFF. "
(9)
Hold nose off the ground as long as possible.
(10) Turn fuel selector valve handle to "BOTH OFF."
(11) Evacuate the airplane as soon as it stops.
