7-8 WING FLAPS
The electrically controlled, slotted fowler aps enhance the low speed lift
characteristics of the airplane. Each ap is connected to the wing structure at
three ap track assemblies. Each ap track assembly contains two grooves in
which the ap rollers operate. The aps may be positioned at 0°, 10°, 20° and
35° by selecting the desired position on the ap control switch. As the ap
position switch is placed in a given position, sensors in the ap power system
provide input to the ap motor and gearbox; the ap motor and gearbox drives
exible shafts which actuate worm gear assemblies and position the aps
as selected in the cockpit. One asymmetry sensor is installed per each ap
assembly to ensure ap symmetry. If a malfunction occurs within the ap or
between the two aps, the asymmetry sensors will immediately discontinue
ap movement. Flap position indication is provided on the multifunction
display.
7-9 LANDING GEAR SYSTEM
The landing gear is a tricycle type with a steerable nose wheel and two main
wheels. Shock absorption is provided through the tubular spring steel main
landing gear struts with two interconnecting steel cross tubes and the air
and oil-lled nose gear shock strut. The landing gear system is designed
for operations from unimproved runways. To improve the operation from
unimproved runways, the optional oversize tires may be installed. This option
provides greater propeller ground clearance and a wider footprint for better
performance on soft surfaces.
7-10 BAGGAGE/CARGO COMPARTMENT
In the passenger version, the space normally used for carrying baggage is
the raised area aft of the cargo door to the aft cabin bulkhead. Access to
the baggage area is gained through the cargo door or from within the cabin.
Quick-release cargo tie-down straps and a cargo net are provided for securing
baggage and are attached to the compartment oor anchor points. Refer to
“Section 6” of this manual for loading limits and “Section 1” of this manual for
dimensions.
WARNING: Any material that could possibly be hazardous to the airplane
or its occupants should not be placed anywhere in the airplane.
