Voorbeelden van landing gear

• At 16.04, when the aircraft was at 4,000 ft and 18 miles from touchdown, it appeared to develop landing gear problems.

• Now the blind landing gear has not been provided at all.

• There is no question of the landing gear not fully meeting the requirements of operators.

• We are further informed that there is no squadron yet equipped with blind landing gear.

• The aircraft, which landed safely, sustained varying degrees of damage to the left-hand engine intake, engine bay door, main landing gear, fuselage and left wing.

• These were associated with wind shear, bird ingestion into engines, tyre failures, turbulence, auto-pilot defects and landing gear failure, such as have occurred in many other types of transport aircraft.

• I believe that ever since flying started men have been trying to invent automatic landing gear, but so far none of them has been a great success.

• The main landing gear is made from sprung steel and mounts drum brakes.

• It would have been very challenging to retract the landing gear into the wings.

• All hydraulic system pressures were found to be normal and no other landing gear system failures were found.

• It had a retractable tailwheel landing gear with the main gear retracting into the engine nacelles.

• To eliminate gear-up landings the monowheel landing gear is non-retractable.

• It features a strut-braced high-wing, a single-seat enclosed cockpit, fixed conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.

• The one major drawback of this landing gear arrangement was its narrow wheel track, making the aircraft unstable while on the ground.

• It did not, however, have retractable landing gear nor a hydraulic system.
