(9) If electrical power is available,
cockpit gear down-and-locked
lights (LDG GEAR NOSE, LEFT,
and RIGHT) are functional whether
either normal or emergency gear
extension is used. This also
applies to door lights, i.e., doors
will not retract (close) and door
light stays on
D.
Limitations
1.
Maximum airspeed for lowering gear and
flying with gear extended: 200 KIAS
NOTE: NATOPS maximum airspeed for
asymmetrical airloads on gear doors with
gear extended is 150 KIAS.
2.
Landing gear retract command is disabled
unless nose strut is extended and nose
wheel centered
a.
Strut extension normally centers nose
wheels mechanically with centering
cams
b.
Nose wheel steering (NWS)
automatically centers nose wheel if
cams fail to do so
E.
Summary:
The landing gear system is electrically
controlled, hydraulically operated, and
mechanically locked in either the up or down
position. It is comprised of the left and right
main landing gear (MLG) and the nose landing
gear (NLG). The landing gear system is
designed to absorb the shock of carrier
landings.
