Section 3 – Emergency procedures
LANDING GEAR FAILURES
Consider use of ditching emergency exit to escape in case pilot
or passenger doors are blocked, watch for engine hot parts,
fuel, hydraulic fluid or oil spills. Leave aircraft in upwind di-
rection.
7.3. PARTIAL MAIN LG EXTENSION
The following procedure applies if one or both Main Landing Gear
legs are not completely extended and locked even after emergency ex-
tension procedure.
A partial gear landing (RH and/or LH leg not down and locked) might
turn into a hazardous situation, especially on uneven runways.
If possible try to obtain a symmetric gear extension (e.g. by trying fur-
ther landing gear retraction) in order to avoid swerving after touch-
down. A gear up landing is generally considered safer.
If landing gear position is not known, perform a tower fly-by at safe
speed and altitude to have confirmation about its situation.
If possible coordinate fire brigade intervention along runway and re-
port number of persons on board and remaining fuel type and quanti-
ty.
Preparation
1. Reduce fuel load if time and conditions permit
2. Crew and passengers safety belts Tightly fastened
3. Landing gear control lever UP
4. Green lights and TRANS light CHECK OFF
5. Flap setting plan approach with Flap Land
If partially extended landing gear is confirmed:
Before ground contact:
6. LH and RH Fuel Selector BOTH OFF
7. LH and RH Electrical fuel pump BOTH OFF
8. Ignitions ALL OFF
On touch down:
9. Align for approach on the runway centreline
10. Touchdown speed as low as 50 KIAS
11. Touchdown on the extended gear only
12. Heading and direction maintain applying appropriate aileron and rud-
der/steering control
13. Retracted leg keep off the ground as long as possible
