Landing gear retraction and extending
Main landing gear extension and retraction
At retraction, a 2,5 mm steel cable routed through pulleys is pulled
by a LINAK LA30 electromechanical strut mounted on the rear
cockpit floor. Retraction takes approximately 15 seconds.
Gears are opened by weight and force from gas and steel springs,
the electric strut controls the speed with extension taking
approximately 10 seconds.
Locking
Landing gear legs are secured in the retracted position by self-
locking electromechanical struts, in the down position by gas struts
and springs. Strut movement is stopped by proximity inductive
sensors when the required position is reached. In case of failure of
these sensors, the strut actuation is stopped by its integrated end
switches.
