3.7. LANDING WITH DAMAGED LANDING GEAR
Use normal approach and landing procedure, keep the damaged
wheel, or unopened wheel, or wheel with unlocked leg, above ground
during the flare as long as possible using ailerons (or elevator for the
nose wheel).
3.8. LANDING GEAR RETRACTION MALFUNCTION
- switch off landing gear circuit switch/breaker
- climb to safe altitude where you can continue flight without stress
- switch on landing gear circuit/breaker and activate landing gear
opening procedure – speed bellow 130 km/h
- check visually locked landing gear struts
- do not use airplane if landing gear system is not checked,
repaired and adjusted by authorised person.
Note: Electric system of landing gear has safety switch installed,
activated by air pressure from pitostatic tube. This system
block retracting below speed 115 km/h, and activates warning
sound and blinking alarm if all 3 legs are not opened and
locked below this speed.

- reduce and keep speed on 120 km/h
- switch on landing gear circuit switch/breaker and activate landing
gear opening procedure
- if landing gear is not fully opened and locked, activate retracting
of LG, and then try to open it again. Combination of plus and
minus G load can help release the system if there is a
mechanical failure
