7.2.3.2 LANDING GEAR ADVISORY FUNCTION
The landing gear advisory function is contained in the Garmin G3X. The
parameters used to determine an alert are (a) landing gear position, (b)
flap position and (c) airspeed. The system will automatically detect Flight
Mode and Landing Mode depending on flap position and airspeed
thresholds.
Above the “gear up airspeed” and with flaps fully retracted the system will
prompt the pilot to “check landing gear”. The Searey should normally be
flown with the landing gear in the up or retracted position for safety.
Below the “gear down airspeed” and with a non-zero degree flap position,
the system will prompt the pilot with “check landing gear” and require the
pilot to select a water or runway landing intention which must match the
detected landing gear position. If no match is detected in 15 seconds, a
new message and audio alert will be presented by the EFIS. See the
Garmin G3X Installation Manual for more detailed information about the
use and operation of this function.
Fault? The pilot should not rely on this system to be told where to place
the landing gear for an intended landing. This system is a backup to
normal checklist use and pilot discipline to assure safe landings.
7.2.3.3 MAIN WHEELS
The wheel rims are two-piece split hub aluminum alloy. The two halves of
the wheels are 8” in diameter and are assembled with bolts.
7.2.3.4 TIRES
The tires are 6.00 x 6”. Inflate to 26 psi for operation on sealed runways.
7.2.3.5 TAIL WHEEL
The tire is a 280/250 – 4”. Inflation pressure is 25 psi. Lubricate all
bearings frequently.
7.2.3.6 WHEEL BRAKES
Hydraulically actuated Matco brakes are fitted to the main gear. The
brake discs are bolted to the wheel hubs with AN bolts.
The hand-operated hydraulic brakes are applied by squeezing the brake
lever which is located on the throttle handle.
