LANDING GEAR

Three controls govern the operation of

the DC-3 landing gear. A lever on the main hy-

draulic control panel raises and lowers the two

main wheels. A tailwheel lock on the pedestal cen-

ters and locks the tailwheel. The tailwheel does

not retract but swivels through 360 degrees when

not locked. The third control, a safety latch, on

theoor bythe pilot’s seat,controlsmovement

of the safety latch and the landing gear lever.

Full down (positive lock) - In this position

the latch is locked and can be moved only by the

latch control. The landing gear lever cannot be

moved with the latch full down.

To operate the latch, a locking tab must

rstbemovedfromthenoseof thelever.

Full up (unlocked) - In this position the

latch is unlocked and the gear lever is free to

move. With the gear UP, pull the gear lever out

toward the center aisle. Now you can push the

lever DOWN to lower the gear. Lock the lever

and latch the gear using the latch control.

When on the ground ALWAYS leave the

gear lever in this DOWN position.

Never move the latch to full down or positive

lock until the gear lever is in NEUTRAL

Keep the gear and ap levers in

NEUTRAL for normal operation. This traps f

luidinthelineandholdsthegearandapsinthe

desired positions.

If the throttles are closed and the landing

gear is UP, a warning horn will sound. This

can be cancelled by pushing the warning horn

switch (18) on the right “eyebrow” panel.

Warning lights: There are green and red

warning lights at the right hand corner of the in-

strument panel. The green light burns when the

gear is down and the red when the gear is up.
