NOSE LANDING GEAR ASSEMBLY DETAIL.
1. Jack the aircraft using the built-in jack points. (See “Empty Weight and CG Measurement While
on Jackpoint Scales” on page 3-32.)
2. Check for attachment.
a. After the aircraft has been jacked, apply an alternating force to the nose landing gear and
validating that there is not excessive play or travel in the system.
3. Verify that all attachment hardware is correctly installed, refer to the illustration for hardware
location.
4. Evaluate the nose landing gear doors for smooth operation and excessive play.
a. With the landing gear in the extended position, first apply an alternating side load to both
the left hand and right hand nose doors. There should be no extensive play, as the doors
are locked in this position.
b. Reach inside the nose cavity and override the door forks (shown in illustration) by rotating
them clockwise (left hand fork) and counter clockwise (right hand fork). This will override
the locking mechanism and allow the user to evaluate the door operation for smoothness,
as well as play in the mechanical linkages.
