Landing gear position indicator - see figure 7.5.1
Lan
ding gear position indication is displayed by 5 lights :
- On LANDING GEAR control panel
. 3 green indicator lights (one per landing gear),
. 1 red warning light GEAR UNSAFE
. 1 amber light in the LANDING GEAR lever.
- On MFD CAS window :
. GEAR UNSAFE
● NOTE ●
The
amber light flashes while the hydraulic pump is operating to extend or
retract the landing gear.
●
When landing gear is correctly retracted, all lights are OFF.
Down-locked correct indication is when there are 3 green indicator lights ON, the
GEAR UNSAFE red warning light is OFF, the GEAR UNSAFE is OFF and the
amber caution light is OFF. All other cases mean the gear is not down-locked.
If there is a doubt about the landing gear in the down-locked position, an independent
electrical circuit provides a countercheck capability of the indicator system. Pressing
the CHECK DOWN push-button, located on the LANDING GEAR panel, confirms the
gear down and locked with a rapid flash rate (16 hertz) ; when flashing, each green
indicator light indicates that the corresponding gear is down and locked.
Pressing the LIGHT TEST push-button enables the testing of all LANDING GEAR
panel lights, making them flash at a low rate (1 hertz).
