32 LANDING GEAR
GENERAL LANDING GEAR SYSTEM CONTROLS AND INDICATING PRESENTATION

LANDING GEAR PANEL
LANDING GEAR CONTROL LEVER
Two indications are provided for each gear :

- a red "UNLK" light indicates that the
corresponding gear is not locked in the
selected position,
- a green triangle indicates that the related
gear is locked down.
The landing gear lever must be pulled before selecting

one of the two possible positions.
When the landing gear is not downlocked in landing
configuration, the red arrow of the control lever comes
on.
GRAVITY EXTENSION CRANK HANDLE
AUTO BRAKE PANEL

The three auto brake pushbuttons (LO, MED, MAX) control
the arming of the required deceleration rate.
The "ON" light comes on blue when the related
pushbutton is selected and the system is armed.
The "DECEL" light comes on green when the correct
deceleration is reached.
A/SKID & N/W STRG SWITCH
TMULD40ZZ-T01 LEVEL 1
UFD4200
The A/SKID & N/W STRG switch is normally in the "ON"

position and it is used to isolate anti-skid and nose
wheel steering functions.
When it is set to "OFF", the DC supply of the Braking
and Steering Control Unit (BSCU) is isolated.
TRIPLE INDICATOR
The triple indicator displays the yellow brake
accumulator pressure.
It also displays the yellow braking pressure delivered
to the left and right hand brakes.
EFFECTIVITY
EFFECTIVITY
ALL
When the normal extension system fails, the gear can

be extended by gravity.
The crank handle must be pulled, then rotated three
turns clockwise.
PARKING BRAKE HANDLE
When the parking brake handle is pulled and turned to
the "ON" position, yellow pressure is applied to the
brakes.
CAUTION : No progressive pressure can be applied using
the parking brake system.
As long as the parking brake handle is "ON",
brake pressure is not necessarily applied
due to limited autonomy of the system
accumulator.
ECAM SYSTEM DISPLAY
The ECAM "WHEEL" page displays landing gear and door
positions, as well as braking and steering indications.

The steering handwheels control the nose wheel steering
angle up to 74 in either direction.
On each handwheel, a rudder pedal disconnect pushbutton
allows the rudder pedal steering orders to be
disconnected.

LANDING GEAR RETRACTION/EXTENSION PRESENTATION
TMULDGD05-T01 LEVEL 1
UFD4200
PRINCIPLE
Gear and door sequencing is electrically controlled
by Landing Gear Control and Interface Units (LGCIU) 1
and 2.
Each Landing Gear Control Interface Unit in turn
controls a complete gear cycle : one "UP" selection
and one "DOWN" selection.
They switch over automatically at each retraction
cycle, or in case of sequencing system failure.
The gear up and down positions and the door close and
open positions are monitored by duplicated detectors.
An interlock mechanism prevents unsafe retraction by
locking the lever in the "DOWN" position when any shock
absorber is not extended.
NOTE : The nose wheel is automatically centered by a
cam when the shock absorber is extended.
The two systems are electrically segregated with
different connections on the related selector valves.
The landing gear is powered by the green hydraulic
system. In case of failure, the gear can be extended
mechanically from the cockpit by means of a gravity
extension crank handle.
The safety valve cuts landing gear hydraulic supply
in normal landing gear retraction/extension ; the
cut-out valve cuts landing gear hydraulic supply in
free fall extension.
LGCIU 1 provides gear positions to the landing gear
indicator panel.
LGCIU 1 and 2 provide gear and door positions to the
ECAM system.
Other aircraft systems are linked to the LGCIUs for
"flight/ground" signals.

NORMAL RETRACTION
At this stage of the operation, the landing gear is
down and locked.
The aircraft is in flight configuration.
Landing Gear Control and Interface Unit 1 is in
command.
Landing Gear Control and Interface Unit 2 is in
standby.
At each gear UP selection, there is a changeover from
LGCIU 1 to LGCIU 2 (or vice versa).
UFD4200
Landing gear retraction cycle :

- DOORS OPEN.
- GEAR RETRACTS : When all hydraulic operated
doors are fully open, the
landing gear is controlled to
retract.
- DOORS CLOSE : When all the landing gear is
locked up, the doors are
controlled to close.
The hydraulic supply to the landing gear circuit is
automatically cut off by a safety valve above 260
knots.

FREE FALL EXTENSION
Rotation of the handle closes the cut out valve and
connects all landing gear hydraulic components to the
return line, and releases door and gear uplocks.
The doors stay open. The main landing gear is locked
down by spring forces. The nose landing gear is locked
down by aerodynamic forces.
Then the landing gear lever must be set to down in
order to switch off the UNLK lights.
UFD4200
NOTE : As the landing gear system is depressurized and

the nose landing gear doors stay open, the nose
wheel steering is lost.

LANDING GEAR AND DOORS - FREE FALL EXTENSION

GENERAL
Free fall extension is used either when :
- both LGCIUs have failed,
- green hydraulic low pressure,
- one door cannot be opened hydraulically,
- one gear leg cannot be lowered hydraulically.
If both LGCIUs fail the solenoids are not energized
and the door "close" lines are not pressurized.
If the green hydraulic pressure is low the door "close"
lines are not pressurized.
INITIAL CONFIGURATION
TMULDGL02-T01 LEVEL 3
UFD4200
The safety valve is open and residual pressure supplies

the door "close" line downstream of the selector valve.
Gears and doors are uplocked.
Note that the door bypass valves (1, 2 and 3) are only
operated during ground maintenance.

LANDING GEAR DOORS GROUND OPENING DESCRIPTION/OPERATION

GENERAL
NOSE DOORS
Each main door and nose door has a ground door opening
system that comprises these primary components :
- a ground door opening control handle,
- a mechanical transmission,
- a by-pass valve,
- a release mechanism in the door uplock.
The control handle has two lockable positions.
When it is set to the "DOOR OPEN" position, it causes
the mechanical system to :
- operate the door by-pass valve,
- release the door from its uplock.
This prevents a hydraulic lock, and allows the
hydraulic fluid to be released from the door actuating
cylinder "DOOR CLOSED" line. The door then moves by
gravity.
The ground opening control handle is located in a

housing in the aft of the nose landing gear bay. This
location places the operator in a safe position with
a clear view of the door travel.
The handle is connected to a lay shaft on the door
by-pass valve and the door uplock on the left hand
side wall of the nose landing gear bay.
TMULDGW01-T01 LEVEL 3
UFD4200
MAIN DOORS
The ground opening control handle is located forward
of the respective main landing gear bay into the
hydraulic compartment. This location places the
operator in a safe position with a clear view of the
door travel.
The handle is connected through a push-pull cable to
the door by-pass valve on the outboard side of the
main landing gear bay.

Each by-pass valve has three hydraulic connections

marked A, B and C.
- port A : door open line,
- port B : door close line from the selector
valve,
- port C : door close line to the door actuating
cylinder.
During normal operation of the landing gear, port A
is closed and port B is connected to port C allowing
the respective door actuating cylinder and door uplock
to be operated.
When the ground door opening control handle is
operated, port B is closed and port A is connected to
port C.
A locking plunger in the by-pass valve stops the
movement of the control lever from the "DOOR OPEN" to
the "DOOR CLOSED" position.
Before any selection can be made, a hydraulic pressure
greater than 70 bars (1015 psi) must be supplied to
port B to retract the locking plunger.

ACTUATING CYLINDER
LOCK STAY ACTUATOR
The MLG actuating cylinder is installed on the main

fitting at the piston rod end. Two lugs attach the
body to the wing rear spar.
When it is hydraulically supplied:
- the piston rod extends to retract the MLG,
- the piston rod retracts to extend the MLG.
During MLG extension the two lock stay actuator ports

are open to return; a restritor controls the rate of
MLG extension.
It is pressurized to extend during MLG door closure
until hydraulic pressure on the door close line is
released.
During MLG retraction, the hydraulic fluid retracts
the piston which opens the overcentered lock, to fold
the side stay and the lock stay against the lock
springs.
SIDE STAY ASSEMBLY

The main components of the side stay assembly are:
- a basic side stay,
- a lock stay,
- a lock stay actuator,
- two lock springs,
- the proximity sensors and their related
targets.
The lock springs move the lock stay to an overcenter
position during the extension cycle.
LOCK STAY
The torque links align the main fitting and the sliding
tube, but let vertical movement between the parts
occur.
The slave link is mounted at the rear.
TORQUE LINK DAMPER
The torque link damper is a spring centered, two way
hydraulic unit, which has its own hydraulic reservoir.
Its function is to decrease the landing vibrations
through the torque links.
UFD4200
The lock stay provides an overcenter stop and a

geometric lock of the landing gear.

LANDING GEAR AND DOORS - MAIN LANDING GEAR DOORS DESCRIPTION

GENERAL
HINGED FAIRING
Each main landing gear is enclosed by one door and two

fairings:
- one main door,
- one hinged fairing,
- one fixed fairing.
The hinged fairing is attached to the wing skin by a

single hinge and to the landing gear by an adjustable
tie rod.
The adjustable tie rod causes the hinged fairing to
follow the landing gear during the landing gear
extension and retraction.
MAIN DOOR
The main door is attached to the fuselage struture by
two hinges and is operated by an hydraulic actuator.
Attached to the forward end of the main door is the
hydraulic actuator and an uplock roller which is used
to keep the main door in the closed position.
Installed on the rear end of the main door are steps,
used for access to the gear well compartment.
Two ramps are installed on the inside of the main door.
These ramps make sure that the gear does not catch on
the main door during a free-fall extension.
Two proximity sensors and targets send the door open

GENERAL
LEG DOOR
The doors of the nose landing gear include:

- two main doors,
- two aft doors,
- one leg door.
The leg door is attached to the rear part of the gear

leg.
When the gear is retracted, this door closes off the
area through which the drag strut passes when the gear
is extended.
MAIN DOORS
The two main doors are hydraulically operated. These
two doors are connected mechanically to the aircraft
by a linkage which has two control rods connected to
the same bellcrank.
This bellcrank is installed at the roof of the landing
gear well and is operated by one double-acting
actuator.
An uplock assembly latches the doors in the closed
position.
PROXIMITY DETECTORS
TMULDDI01-T01 LEVEL 2
UFD4200
Two proximity detectors per door provide a signal it

is in the open position (one per system).
The doors must be in this position to permit the gear
to operate.
AFT DOORS
The two aft doors are symmetrical and connected by an
adjustable rod to the gear leg.
These doors close the aft part of the nose gear well
when the gear is retracted.

DESCRIPTION
The shock absorber is of the single chamber type
without a separator piston and is double acting.
The shock absorber is filled with hydraulic fluid and
nitrogen through a single standard servicing valve in
the upper part of the leg. Calibration of the metering
devices in the shock absorber is the same for the
different versions of the aircraft.
Holes are included in the leg to show possible leaks
from the dynamic seal of the shock absorber.
It is possible to remove the shock absorber without
drainage of the hydraulic fluid.
A placard bonded to the leg shows the filling curves.
The shock absorber includes 2 centering cams, the lower
cam is part of the plunger tube and the upper cam is
part of the sliding tube. When the shock absorber is
fully extended the pressure of the nitrogen causes the
cams to engage. The wheels then return automatically
to the center position.

DESCRIPTION
The shock absorber is a telescopic oleo-pneumatic unit
which includes the sliding tube. It is installed in
the main fitting to transmit the landing, take off and
taxiing loads to the wing.
When the shock absorber is compressed, the load is
transmitted to the hydraulic fluid and nitrogen gas.
The shock absorber is a 2 stage unit and contains four
chambers:
- a first stage gas chamber contains gas at a
low pressure and hydraulic fluid,
- a recoil chamber that contains hydraulic fluid,
- a compression chamber that contains hydraulic
fluid,
- a 2nd stage gas chamber that contains gas at
a high pressure.
Primary control of the shock absorber recoil is:
- the fluid flow from the recoil chamber into
the gas chamber,
- the fluid flow from the gas chamber into
the compression chamber.

WHEELS AND BRAKE - BRAKES SYSTEM PRESENTATION

The four braking modes available depend on :
- the hydraulic system,
- the position of the A/SKID & N/W STRG switch
and PARKING BRK control switch.
NORMAL BRAKING
Before landing, the crew can select one of the AUTO

BRAKE modes to obtain the optimal deceleration rate
compatible with the length of the runway.
Before take-off, MAX mode must be selected in case of
an aborted take-off.
When a pushbutton deceleration rate is selected, the
"ON" light comes on blue to indicate the positive
arming of the auto brake mode.
Braking begins when ground spoilers deployment orders
are present.
The Braking and Steering Control Unit (BSCU) energizes
the selector valve allowing green pressure to supply
the brakes through the automatic selector and normal
servovalves.
The automatic reversible selector, when powered by the
green hydraulic system cuts the yellow one.
Depending on the deceleration rate and the anti-skid
regulation, the BSCU regulates the pressure delivered
to each brake through the normally open normal
servovalves.
Wheels rotation speed and ADIRU data are supplied to
the BSCU for braking and anti-skid computation.
When the aircraft deceleration reaches a given value,
the "DECEL" green light comes on.
TMULDZ101-T01 LEVEL 1
UFD4200
Normal braking is obtained when :

- the green high hydraulic pressure is available,
- the A/SKID & N/W STRG switch is in the "ON"
position,
- the PARKING BRK control switch is in the "OFF"
position.
Electrical control is obtained :
- through the pedals,
- automatically : on the ground by the auto brake
system or in flight when the landing gear
control lever is set to "UP".
No indicator of normal brake pressure is used.

INFLIGHT BRAKING
UFD4200
In order to stop the main landing gear wheels rotation

before entry into the landing gear bay, a preprogrammed
brake pressure is released to the normal brakes.
When the landing gear control lever is set to "UP",
the BSCU opens the selector valve and energizes the
servovalves.
The brake pressure is released either when the nose
gear is no longer downlocked or three seconds after
the "UP" selection.
Furthermore, nose wheels are mechanically braked at
the end of the gear retraction cycle using brake bands.

PARKING BRAKE
UFD4200
The parking brake system is hydraulically supplied

either by yellow high pressure or by an accumulator
of 12 hours autonomy.
The system needs either DC ground/flight bus or hot
bus 1 electrical supply and uses segregated wiring
routes.
When the parking brake system is activated, all other
braking modes become electrically and hydraulically
inoperative.
Note that, as normal braking and auxiliary low pressure
control systems are not available, an ultimate
emergency braking can be ensured by means of the
parking brake system.
PARKING BRAKE OFF

When the parking brake handle is lifted and turned to
"OFF", the parking brake control valve is energized
on the opposite way, the parking brake is reset and
all the other braking modes are restored.
The yellow brake accumulator can be pressurized by
pressing the yellow electrical pump pushbutton switch.
PARKING BRAKE ON
When the parking brake handle is lifted and turned to
"ON", the parking brake control valve is energized.
The BSCU is informed that the parking brake system is
on, which deactivates the other braking modes.
Yellow pressure passes through the parking brake
control valve and reaches the dual shuttle valve.
The dual shuttle valve moves, allowing alternate system
circuit to be supplied by the parking brake system.
Brakes are supplied through the normally open alternate
servovalves.
The pressure delivered to the left hand and right hand
brakes as well as the brake accumulator pressure are
indicated on the yellow pressure triple indicator.

This mode is automatically obtained :
- in case of green pressure loss,
- if a failure occurs on the normal braking system
during operation or BSCU BITE test.
As the normal system becomes inoperative, the alternate
braking circuit is pressurized through the automatic
selector.
Orders are entered by the pedals and transmitted
through an auxiliary low pressure control system to
the dual valve.
The dual valve regulates the yellow braking pressure.
The BSCU ensures the anti-skid regulation by
controlling the normally open alternate servovalves.
The braking pressure is read on the ACCU/PRESS triple
indicator.

ALTERNATE BRAKING WITHOUT ANTI-SKID
UFD4200
Alternate braking without anti-skid is different from

alternate braking with anti-skid in that there is no
anti-skid regulation.
The anti-skid regulation can be disconnected :
- either electrically (A/SKID & N/W STRG switch
set to "OFF" or power supply failure),
- or hydraulically if the brake yellow pressure
accumulator only supplies the brakes.
Brake pressure has to be limited by the pilot to avoid
wheel locking using ACCU/PRESS triple indicator.
With the accumulator pressure only, a maximum of 7
full brake pedal applications can be performed.

WHEELS AND BRAKES - BRAKE SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

PEDALS
WHEELS
The pedals give mechanical inputs to the brake pedal

transmitter unit for manual normal braking and to the
auxiliary low pressure control system for alternate
braking.
Each main wheel is equipped with multidisc carbon

brakes.
Each main wheel rotation speed given by a tachometer
is fed back to the BSCU for anti-skid computation.
BRAKE PEDALS XMTR UNIT
AUTOMATIC SELECTOR
The brake pedal transmitter unit transforms the

mechanical input from the right and left pedals into
electrical signals which are sent to the BSCU.
The automatic selector allows the pressurization of

either normal brake systems or alternate brake systems
and preferential supply to the normal system.
BSCU
AUXILIARY LOW PRESSURE CONTROL SYSTEM
The Braking and Steering Control Unit (BSCU) controls

normal braking, auto braking as well as anti-skid
operation during normal and alternate braking.
The auxiliary low pressure control system transforms

the mechanical input from the left and right pedals
into hydraulic pressure which controls the dual valve.
SELECTOR VALVE
DUAL VALVE
The selector valve is an on/off valve. When normal

braking is applied, the BSCU first energizes the
selector valve, this allows full green pressure to
supply the normal servovalves.
The dual valve allows the operation of the alternate

braking system.
NORMAL SERVOVALVES
The dual shuttle valve selects either the alternate

braking system or the parking brake system.
DUAL SHUTTLE VALVE
The normal servovalve has a dual function: it regulates

braking pressure, which depends on BSCU braking orders,
and anti-skid control pressure delivered to the brakes.
They are located on the main landing gear strut.

WHEELS AND BRAKES - AUTO BRAKE SYSTEM DESCRIPTION/OPERATION

AUTO BRAKE MODES
ARMING
The AUTO BRK panel is used to select the desired

deceleration rate of the system.
MAX mode is normally selected for take-off: In the
event of an aborted take-off, maximum braking pressure
is sent to the normal servovalves as soon as ground
spoilers deployment order is present.
MED or LO modes are selected for landing: Progressive
pressure is sent to the brakes, for respectively 2 or4
seconds after the ground spoilers deployment order.
The auto brake system is armed if one of the three

mode pushbuttons (LO, MED or MAX) is pressed in and
the following conditions are met:
- Green pressure available.
- Anti-skid electrically powered.
- No failure in the normal braking system.
The ON light comes on blue when the corresponding rate
is armed.
ADIRS
The Air Data Inertial Reference System (ADIRS) signals
the aircraft deceleration rate to the Braking and
Steering Control Unit (BSCU) to be compared with the
selected deceleration mode for braking computation.
UFD4200
A/SKID & N/W STRG SWITCH

The A/SKID & N/W STRG switch activates the anti-skid
system and enables auto brake arming.
ON: Anti-skid and nose wheel steering are available
and auto brake can be armed provided the green pressure
is valid.
If green pressure drops:
- Yellow pressure takes over automatically,
anti-skid is available and nose wheel steering
is lost.
- Auto brake cannot be armed.
OFF: Anti-skid, nose wheel steering and auto brake are
lost.
EFFECTIVITY
EFFECTIVITY
ALL
ACTIVATION
The automatic braking system is activated by 2 of the
3 ground spoiler extension signals coming from the
Spoiler Elevator Computers (SECs).
The DECEL light comes on green when actual aircraft
deceleration is 80 % of selected rate (LO and MED
modes) or 0.27 g (MAX mode).
DISARMING
The auto brake is disarmed by:
- Releasing the selected pushbutton out or,
- Loss of one or more arming conditions or,
- Applying sufficient force to the pedals when
auto brake is operating.
- Ground spoiler retraction.

WHEELS AND BRAKES - ANTI-SKID FUNCTION

PURPOSE
REGULATION
The anti-skid system gives the maximum braking

efficiency as it keeps each individual wheel at the
maximum deceleration rate avoiding a skidding
configuration.
The operational amplifier compares the calculated

reference speed with the speed of the decelerating
wheel.
The operational amplifier supplies numerical values
which are converted into current to supply the coil
of the normal and alternate servovalves in use to
ensure the anti-skid function.
BSCU
TMULD2004-T01 LEVEL 3
UFD4200
The Braking and Steering Control Unit (BSCU) provides

anti-skid control during normal and alternate braking
by either system 1 or 2 of the BSCU.
System 1 and 2 have independent power supplies, and
at each energization, the first system supplied takes
control.
If the two systems are supplied simultaneously system 1
has priority and system 2 is in standby.
SERVOVALVES
The normal and alternate servovalves are identical but
connected differently to the BSCU.
While the two coils of the normal servovalve are
connected to system 1 and 2 respectively, only one
coil of the alternate servovalve is used.
PRINCIPLE
ADIRU
The speed of each main gear wheel, given by a

tachometer, is compared with the aircraft speed
supplied by the Air Data Inertial Reference Units.
A reference speed is determined by the BSCU from the
longitudinal deceleration given by Air Data Inertial
Reference Units 1, 2 or 3 (ADIRU).
When the speed of a wheel decreases below 0.87 times
the reference speed, brake release orders are given
to that wheel to maintain the wheel deceleration rate
at that value.
The required reference speed during braking is directly

obtained from the average between the values from the
three Air Data Inertial Reference Units (ADIRUs).
In case the ADIRU data is not valid, the reference
speed is equal to the maximum of either main landing
gear wheel speeds. Aircraft deceleration is limited
to 1.7 m/s2 (5.6 ft/s2).

WHEELS AND BRAKES - BRAKE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM OPERATION

NORMAL BRAKING
The hydraulic braking operation is identical for
automatic braking, manual braking and inflight
braking.
Note that during inflight braking, anti-skid function
is inhibited by the BSCU.
Normal braking and anti-skid regulation are
electrically controlled by the Braking and Steering
Control Unit.
OPERATION:
The selector valve is energized.
The automatic selector ensures the segregation of the
two hydraulic systems and preferential supply of the
normal braking system.
The throttle valve decreases the movement speed of the
automatic selector when the brake selector valve is
de-energized.
The normal brake servovalves supply a pressure which
depends on the control current delivered by the BSCU.
The manifold comprises the two servovalves, the two
pressure transducers and the two hydraulic fuses.
The hydraulic fuse stops the flow in the line in case
of leakage.
Note that during the normal braking the automatic
selector connects the alternate system to the yellow
return manifold.
During manual braking, the master cylinders provide
an artificial feel at the pedals.
The brake system is ready to be supplied by the
alternate system in case of normal braking failure.

OPERATION:
The orders are entered through the pedals and an
auxiliary low pressure hydraulic system transmits the
orders via the master cylinders, to control the
distribution dual valve.
The pressure from the dual valve is delivered to the
brakes through the dual shuttle valve and the alternate
servovalves. It is indicated on the yellow pressure
triple indicator.
The alternate brake servovalve manifold comprises two
alternate servovalves and two hydraulic fuses.
The BSCU ensures the anti-skid regulation by
controlling the related servovalve.

ALTERNATE BRAKING WITHOUT ANTI-SKID
In case of alternate braking without antiskid the
brakes are supplied either by the yellow high pressure
or the brake accumulator.
When yellow high pressure is available, the brakes are

lines are connected to the yellow return manifold.
When the brakes are only supplied by the brake
accumulator the return lines are shut off by the
automatic selector.

DESCRIPTION
The automatic selector supplies the brake system with
either the green (normal braking) or yellow (alternate
braking/parking brake) pressure.
Under normal operating conditions it allows the green
hydraulic fluid to flow to the brakes and maintains
the yellow hydraulic pressure on standby status.
Should the green pressure drop below a predetermined
value, the selector automatically cuts off the green
supply and opens the passage to the yellow pressure.
In addition, it shuts off the yellow system from the
return line for parking brake application.

The current of the control coil in use (either system

This modifies the sections of the fluid passage at the
jets, and consequently the pressure in the control
chambers of the slide valve.
With zero current, the supplied pressure is equal to
the pressure supplied to the servovalve.
If there is no supply pressure, the servovalve connects
the brake to the reservoir return system.

ALTERNATE DUAL VALVE CROSS SECTION
PEDAL RELEASED
Each pressure reducing valve includes a control piston
which operates a distribution slide valve through a
spring R1 and a rocker arm.
When the pedal is released, the yellow pressure at A
is shut off and the brake port C is connected to the
reservoir return B.
UFD4200
PEDAL DEPRESSED/PRESSURE INCREASING

When the pedal is pushed in, the volume of fluid moved
by the master cylinder causes the displacement of the
piston which then operates the rocker arm and the slide
valve: B is shut off and the pressure port A is
connected to the brake port C.
PEDAL DEPRESSED/PRESSURE REGULATION
In balanced state, the pressure supplied is in
proportion to the compression of the spring R1 and
consequently to the displacement of the control piston.
The pressure increases in the control line as a result
of the compression of the return springs of the control
piston.
The delivery pressure depends on the control piston
travel and the control pressure.
Maximum pressure delivered: 2537 psi (175 bars).

DESCRIPTION
The tachometers send wheel speed information.
Each tachometer has two 200 tooth rings:
- 1 stationary ring associated to a coil and a
permanent magnet,
- 1 ring driven by the wheel.
The rotation of the wheel causes variations in the
induction frequency which are proportional to the
angular speed (Frequency = 200 x angular speed).
The variable frequency voltage supplied by the
tachometer is sent to the Braking/Steering Control
Unit (BSCU).

32 LANDING GEAR
NOSE WHEEL STEERING SYSTEM PRESENTATION

The nose wheel steering system is hydraulically powered
and controlled by an electrical servomechanism from
the cockpit via the Braking and Steering Control Unit
(BSCU).
CONTROLS
Steering is controlled by two handwheels and the rudder
pedals depending on aircraft speed. Their signals are
algebraically
added
if
they
are
operated
simultaneously.
Steering angle speed limitation shown on the schematic
below.
PEDALS
Steering orders from the pedals are sent to the BSCU,
via the Elevator Aileron Computer which also receives
autopilot steering signals.
The resulting signal is algebraically added to the
handwheel signals in the BSCU.
ACTIVATION
Steering signals are sent to the hydraulic block when
the arming conditions are met.
The steering hydraulic block is powered by green
pressure if the nose gear doors are closed.
NOTE: Steering is lost after gear gravity extension
as the doors remain open.
TOWING CONTROL LEVER
A lever on the towing electrical box located on the
nose landing gear enables the steering system to be
deactivated for towing purposes.
With the control lever in towing position:
- The maximum towing angle is 95,
- The ECAM MEMO DISPLAY shows N WHEEL STEER
DISC in green, which changes to amber if
one engine is running.
DISCONNECT PUSHBUTTON
TMULD1003-T01 LEVEL 1
UFD4200
When a rudder pedal disconnect pushbutton is pressed

in, nose wheel steering by the pedals is disconnected.
NOTE: The disconnect pushbuttons are also used during
rudder ground check.
BSCU
The A/SKID & N/W STRG switch enables electrical power
supply of the BSCU which computes the steering orders.

32 LANDING GEAR
NOSE WHEEL STEERING SYSTEM DESCRIPTION/OPERATION

ROTATING JOINT
CHECK VALVES
The rotating joint is installed co-axially with respect

to the landing gear retraction axis and provides
hydraulic power supply when the gear is extended.
When the gear starts to retract, the rotating joint
cuts the hydraulic power supply.
Two check valves ensure the distribution of fluid from

the accumulator to the chamber of the steering actuator.
SELECTOR VALVE
When the selector valve is energized the pressure is
applied to the servovalve via the slaved valve.
BYPASS VALVE
The bypass valve interconnects the two chambers of the steering
actuator in the event of hydraulic system depressurization.
The bypass valve opens if the pressure exceeds 273 bars
(4000 psi).
ANTI-SHIMMY VALVES
CHECK VALVE/FILTER
There is one anti-shimmy valve per steering actuator chamber.
A 40 micron filter and a check valve are installed in
the hydraulic power supply line.
SERVOVALVE
TMULDGS04-T01 LEVEL 3
UFD4200
The servovalve is of the deflection-jet type. It is

equipped with a Linear Variable Differential
Transducer (LVDT) sensor which detects the position
of the slide valve.
The LVDT provides position feedback for the steering
control.
ADJUSTABLE DIAPHRAGM
The ajustable diaphragms are used to adjust the flow
to each actuating cylinder chamber and consequently
the wheel steering speed.
STEERING ACTUATOR
The steering actuator drives the rotating tube, which
is part of the nose landing gear structure, via a
rack-and-pinion assembly.
ACCUMULATOR
The anti-shimmy accumulator supplies pressurized fluid
in case of cavitation in one of the two chambers of
the steering actuator.
The accumulator can supply fluid pressurized up to 15
bars (220 psi).
BLEED SCREW
A bleed screw allows bleeding and depressurization of
the hydraulic block.

BRAKING AND STEERING - BSCU CONTROL INTERFACES

ADIRUs
TACHOMETERS
The aircraft reference speed for nose wheel steering

and anti-skid functions is obtained by processing the
inertial deceleration from the Air Data Inertial
Reference Units (ADIRUs).
Tachometers send wheel speed values to the BSCU

enabling reference speed computation and also to the
Spoiler Elevator Computers for ground spoilers
extension logic.
SECs
LGCIUs
Two of the three ground spoilers extended signals

coming from the Spoiler Elevator Computers (SECs) must
be present to enable automatic braking.
Landing Gear Control and Interface Units receive wheel

speed indications.
These signals are used for BITE inhibition.
LGCIUs
PACK CONTROLLERS
Inputs from both Landing Gear Control and Interface

Units (LGCIUs) serve for braking and nose wheel
steering functions control logic.
After wheel speed computation the BSCU energizes wheel

speed relays.
The latter send a signal to the Pack Controllers for
pack ram air inlet operation during take-off and
landing phases.
ELACs
The link between the BSCU and the Elevator Aileron
Computer (ELAC) serves for nose wheel steering purposes
with orders coming from rudder pedals and autopilot.

TIRE PRESSURE INDICATING SYSTEM DESCRIPTION/OPERATION

PURPOSE
ROTATING TRANSFORMER
The Tire Pressure Indicating System (TPIS)

continuously monitors the absolute pressure of each
individual tire and provides cockpit indications and
warnings.
The rotating transformer transmits the tire pressure

value from the wheel to the detection unit.
PRESSURE TRANSDUCER
The detection unit comprises a microprocessor which

provides data processing and distribution of each tire
pressure including normal and abnormal pressure
signals for ECAM indication and CFDS monitoring.
The TPIS detection unit permanently performs a test
of the unit itself, the rotating mechanism and the
pressure transducer. The test is only stopped for data
processing and distribution.
A pressure transducer installed in the wheel rim

measures the pressure of each tire.
The pressure transducer gives a DC signal from 0 to
100mV in proportion to the pressure.
ROTATING MECHANISM
The rotaring mechanism serves to transmit the tire
pressure signal from the wheel to the axle.
The rotating transformer also provides the necessary
power supply for the electronic module and the pressure
transducer in form of a 3125Hz signal.
TMULDGQ04-T01 LEVEL 3
UFD4200
ELECTRONIC MODULE
DETECTION UNIT
INTERFACES
The signal from the Landing Gear Control and Interface
Unit (LGCIU) is used to change the tire pressure
threshold for on ground or in flight warnings.
Note that tire pressure warnings are only memorized
by the BITE when at least one engine is running to
prevent false warnings during wheel change.
The integrated electronic module amplifies the signal

from the pressure transducer and changes the voltage
into frequency by means of a converter.
The voltage to frequency converter gives a signal which
varies from 50 to 100kHz for a pressure range from 0
to 300psi.

The rotating mechanism includes :
- a rotating transformer which transmits the
electrical power (3125Hz signal) to supply the
electronic circuits and the pressure transducer
installed on the wheel. It transmits also the
tire pressure value from the wheel to the axle.
The frequency varies from 50kHz to 100kHz.
- an integrated electronic module which amplifies
the DC signal from the pressure transducer and
converts the voltage into frequency (50kHz to
100kHz range), before the signal is applied to
the rotating transformer.
The pressure transducer is installed in a support
attached to the wheel rim. It is of the piezoresistive
strain-gage type. An external voltage source supplies
this transducer which gives a DC signal from 0 to 100mV
in proportion to the pressure. A four-wire, shielded
and twisted cable is connected to the rotating
mechanism.

SPARE SEAL ACTIVATING VALVE
DESCRIPTION
Each main landing gear fitting has a spare seal
activating valve. The activating valve is on the barrel
of the main fitting, adjacent to the gland housing
assembly. This valve can isolate the bottom gland seals
if a leak occurs from that position.
TMULDTT05-T01 LEVEL 3
UFD4200
OPERATION
Under normal conditions the valve stem of the spare
activating valve is screwed out, with the ball away
from its seat. Fluid pressure in the shock absorber
is felt equally on both sides of the upper seal in the
lower bearing sub-assembly, but only one side of the
lower seal. Therefore, the lower seal is subjected to
pressure differentials.
If a leak occurs at the lower bearing housing,
indicated by the presence of hydraulic fluid on the
sliding tube, the fault may be expected to be from the
lower seal.
The cap screw, an indicator, must be removed and the
valve stem screwed on to seat the ball. This action
isolates the lower seal from hydraulic pressure, which
effectively stops the leak, and transfers the pressure
differential to the upper seal.

TORQUE LINK DAMPER
TMULDTT05-T02 LEVEL 3
UFD4200
DESCRIPTION
The torque link damper is a spring centered, two way
hydraulic unit, which has its own pressurized hydraulic
reservoir. Its function is to decrease the landing
vibrations through the torque links.
The hydraulic fluid contents of the damper are shown
by the extension of the reservoir when it is
pressurized. When the contents are correct, the "FULL"
and "REFILL" level indications are in view.
- Remove the hydraulic rig and bleed tube, then

check for leakage over the next 3 minutes at
the same time ensuring the reservoir can
remains above the "FULL" line.
- Finally open the bleed plug slowly until
reservoir can is level with the "FULL"
line, then close and lock the bleed and cap
assemblies.
REPLENISHMENT
The torque link damper must be fitted in accordance
with AMM 12-12-00, but we will consider the general
outline of the task:
- First remove the cap assembly from the check
valve, and bleed screw from the bleed plug,
then attach a hydraulic charging rig, using a
connector, to the check valve.
- Next fit a plastic tube, which is SKYDROL
compatible, to the bleed plug, this is to
collect expelled fluid, so place the free end
of the plastic tube into a suitable container.
- Using the hydraulic rig, apply a pressure of
2.42 to 2.75 bars (35.1 to 39.9 psi) and open
the bleed plug until an air free flow of fluid
is obtained.
- Increase the pressure to between 2.75 and 3.45
bars (39.9 and 50 psi) and close the bleed
plug, the reservoir can should rise slightly
above the "FULL" line (approximately 2.5 mm/0.1
inch).

NITROGEN FILLING OF THE MLG TWO-STAGE SHOCK ABSORBER

This film includes several procedures or parts of
procedures of the shock absorber servicing:
- Check Charge Pressure of the Main Landing Gear
Shock Absorber,
- Visual Inspection of the Main Landing Gear
Two-Stage Shock Absorber for Leakage of
Hydraulic Fluid,
- Nitrogen Filling of the Main Landing Gear
Two-Stage Shock Absorber (Aircraft on the
Ground).
The values of some parameters such as temperature,
pressure, etc, have to be recorded to perform this
procedure. Depending on the value obtained, some parts
must or must not be done, referring to the Aircraft
Maintenance Manual.
Of course, when you will effectively do it, you will
have to adapt your actions to the values you will
obtain. In no case, can the values used in this film
be used as a reference.
WARNING: PUT THE SAFETY DEVICES AND THE WARNING NOTICES
IN POSITION BEFORE YOU START A TASK ON OR
NEAR:
- THE FLIGHT CONTROLS,
- THE FLIGHT CONTROL SURFACES,
- THE LANDING GEAR AND THE RELATED DOORS,
- ANY COMPONENTS THAT MOVE.
MAKE SURE THAT THE GROUND SAFETY-LOCKS ARE
IN POSITION ON THE LANDING GEAR.
EFFECTIVITY
EFFECTIVITY
ALL
Note that it is recommended that you wait a minimum

of ten minutes after taxiing or towing before you carry
out this procedure. This will allow to get a stable
temperature and a more accurate value of the shock
absorber extension and pressures.
During this procedure, actions will be made on the top
charging valve (also called valve A), and on the bottom
charging valve (also called valve B).
A placard located underneath the top charging valve
gives you a summary of the information necessary to
perform this procedure.
It consists of:
- a gear schematic which shows you where you have
to measure the height H,
- a summarized actions list which presents the
main points necessary to perform the dedicated
procedures,
- DIAGRAM 1 which allows you to find a target
value H depending on the measured temperature
and the pressure on the top charging valve,
- DIAGRAM 2 which gives the same information,
but for a different step of the procedure,
- DIAGRAM 3 enables you to find the position
of a point determined by the temperature
and the pressure values in relation to a
graph line.

PREPARATION
In the cockpit,
make sure that the landing gear control lever is in
the DOWN position and put a warning notice in position
to tell people not to operate the landing gear.
On the outside,
- make sure that the wheel chocks are in position
on the main landing gear, but do not put a
chock on the nose wheel,
- put a warning notice in position to tell persons
not to operate the landing gear doors,
- put the access platform in position below the
applicable shock absorber.
Before filling with nitrogen, examine the gland housing
of the shock absorber for leakage of hydraulic fluid.
In case of leakage, refer to your AMM to troubleshoot.
PROCEDURE
Measure and record dimension H, H = 89 mm (3.50 in).
Measure and record the temperature of the MLG adjacent
to the top charging valve, T = 10C (50F).
Put the standard charging equipment into position.
On the top charging valve:
- remove the blanking cap,
- on the charging equipment, make sure that the
control valves are closed,
- and connect the filling hose.
Do the same on the bottom charging valve.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE THAT YOU USE A GAGE WITH THE
SPECIFIED PRESSURE RANGE.
EFFECTIVITY
EFFECTIVITY
ALL

- slowly open it,
- read and record the pressure shown on the
pressure gage, PA = 79 bar (1150 psi),
- and then close it.
Do the same on the bottom charging valve, PB = 75 bar
(1090 psi).
Using DIAGRAM 1, find the dimension HA for the pressure
at the top charging valve and the measured temperature,
HA = 141mm (5.6 in) (1).
As the condition H = HA 15mm (0.6 in) is not fulfilled
we have to do the Nitrogen Filling of the MLG Two-Stage
Shock Absorber.
The pressure at the bottom charging valve must be
between 13.8 and 20.7 bar (200 and 300 psi) above the
pressure at the top charging valve,
PA + 13.8 bar < PB < PA + 20.7 bar.

This is to ensure that the floating piston is at the
top of the bottom chamber (key point in case of
restart).
To perform this condition, we are going to pressurize
the bottom chamber.
WARNING: DO NOT PUT COMPRESSED GAS IN CONTACT WITH
YOUR SKIN. THE GAS CAN GO THROUGH THE SKIN
AND CAUSE BUBBLES IN THE BLOOD. THIS COULD
CAUSE DEATH.
MAKE SURE THAT THE AREA AROUND THE AIRCRAFT
IS CLEAR OF PERSONS AND EQUIPMENT. WHEN YOU
PRESSURIZE OR DEPRESSURIZE THE SHOCK
ABSORBER, WITH THE AIRCRAFT WEIGHT ON THE
GROUND, THE AIRCRAFT WILL MOVE.

CAUTION: ALWAYS ADD NITROGEN SLOWLY WHEN YOU

PRESSURIZE THE SHOCK ABSORBER. IF YOU ADD
NITROGEN TOO QUICKLY, THE TEMPERATURE WILL
INCREASE AND HAVE AN EFFECT ON THE SHOCK
ABSORBER PRESSURE.
FILLING
On the bottom charging valve:
- the nitrogen supply being open, open the bottom
charging valve,
- open the control supply valve slowly to add
nitrogen to the bottom chamber, PB = 98 bar
(1420 psi),
- close the bottom charging valve.
Wait ten minutes and make sure that the pressure
condition is fulfilled. The bottom chamber pressure
is still the same, PB = 98 bar (1420 psi).
Check the pressure of the top chamber too:
- slowly open the top charging valve,
- read and record the pressure shown on the
pressure gage, PA = 92 bar (1330 psi),
- and then close it.
As the pressure condition is NOT fulfilled
(PA + 13.8 bar < PB < PA + 20.7 bar), we have to increase
the pressure in the bottom chamber by adding nitrogen.
- the bottom charging valve being open, open the
control supply valve slowly to add nitrogen to
the bottom chamber, PB = 112 bar (1620 psi),
- and close the bottom charging valve.
EFFECTIVITY
EFFECTIVITY
ALL
Wait ten minutes and make sure that the pressure

condition between the two chambers is fulfilled,
PA = 92 bar (1330 psi), PB = 112 bar (1620 psi). The
pressure condition is fulfilled.
The nitrogen pressure being released, read and write
down the temperature again, T = 11C (52F), as well
as the dimension H, H = 123 mm (4.8 in).
Make sure that the difference in pressure at the top
charging valve and the bottom charging valve is more
than 10.7 bar (155 psi),
PB > PA + 10.7 bar,

this condition being enough at this point.
Using DIAGRAM 2, find the dimension HA for the pressure
and the temperature at the top charging valve,
HA = 140 mm (5.5 in) (2).
Dimension H must be the same as HA, 1mm (0.6 in).
Depending on whether H, is higher or lower than the
value of HA found on DIAGRAM 2, we have respectively
to remove or add nitrogen from the top chamber.
As H is lower than the value of H found on DIAGRAM 2
we have to add nitrogen to the top chamber.

(contd)
To do that:
- open the top charging valve,
- the nitrogen supply being open, slowly open
the control valve to add nitrogen; as soon as
the shock absorber moves, close the control
valve,
- after 5 minutes, measure the temperature,
T = 11C (52F), and the pressure at the top
charging valve, PA = 92 bar (1330 psi),
- using DIAGRAM 2, find the dimension HA required
for these conditions, HA = 140 mm (5.5 in),
- slowly open the control valve to add nitrogen
to obtain the same dimension H as we found
before, H = HA 1mm (0.6 in).
After 5 minutes, open the top and the bottom charging
valves.
Read and write down:
- pressures, PA = 92 bar (1330 psi),
PB = 112 bar (1620 psi),
- the temperature, T = 11C (52F),
- the dimension H, H = 139 mm (5.5 in).
Using the pressure and the temperature find the correct
dimension H in DIAGRAM 2 and make sure that this value
is equal to the previous measured value, 1mm (0.6
in).
Make sure that the difference in pressure at the top
charging valve and the bottom charging valve is still
more than 10.7 bar (155 psi), PB > PA + 10.7 bar.
Close the top and the bottom charging valves.

ALL
Now, depending on if the pressure and temperature of

the top charging valve is either, on or below, or above
the graph line on DIAGRAM 3 (3), there are two
possibilities.
In our case, as PA is above the graph line, we have
to carry out the following steps:
- using DIAGRAM 1, find the dimension HA for the
pressure at the top charging valve and the
measured temperature, HA = 119 mm (4.7 in) (4),
- open the bottom charging valve,
- slowly open the control valve to remove
nitrogen and immediately the dimension H starts
to change, close the control valve,
- after 5 minutes, open the top charging valve,
and read and record the pressure, PA = 86 bar
(1250 psi), and the temperature, T = 11C

- using DIAGRAM 1, find the dimension H that you
need for the above conditions, HA = 125 mm (4.9
in) (5),
- slowly open the control valve to remove
nitrogen from the bottom charging valve until
the dimension H is the same as the dimension
H found in DIAGRAM 1, 1 mm (0.6 in),
- close the bottom charging valve.
After 5 minutes, check the pressures:
- open the top charging valve, read and write
down the pressure, PA = 86 bar (1250 psi), and
then close it,
- open the bottom charging valve, read and
write down the pressure, PB = 85 bar (1230
psi), and then close it.

Make sure that the pressure at the top and bottom

charging valves are the same, 1.5 bar (22 psi). If
not, you have to do the procedure again starting from
the step where the floating piston must be moved to
the top of the bottom chamber.
CLOSE-UP
Release the nitrogen pressure.
- torque the valve to the preset value,
- remove the charging equipment,
- use SPECIAL MATERIALS to do a leak check of
the valve,
- install the blanking cap.

GENERAL
LGCIU 1
LGCIU 1 and LGCIU 2 have the same functions, thus only

LGCIU 1 is shown on the MCDU.
BSCU A and BSCU B have the same functions, thus only
BSCU A is shown on the MCDU.
The Tire Pressure Indicating System is provided as an
option.
On the SYSTEM REPORT/TEST L/G menu page, the "TPIS"
line is always displayed, even if this system is not
fitted on the aircraft.
LANDING GEAR SIMULATION

The landing gear simulation function is an aid for the
maintenance technicians during trouble shooting and
the maintenance tasks.
With this function it is not necessary to:
- lift the aircraft on jacks (to operate the
proximity sensors on the gear),
- operate the landing gear.
During the simulation of a landing gear configuration
the:
- BITE causes the LGCIU to supply output data
that agrees with the simulated configuration,
- ARINC 429 and discrete signals go to the
applicable interface systems.
Two examples have been chosen:
NOSE LANDING GEAR
- Aircraft position: nose landing gear is
compressed and downlocked.
- Via the MCDU: nose landing gear extended or
uplocked can be simulated.
LH + RH MAIN LANDING GEAR
- Aircraft position: Main gear is compressed and
downlocked.
- Via the MCDU: Main gear extended or uplocked
can be simulated.

BSCU A
NOTE: STEERING DATA function access is only available
with BSCU standard 8.
PIN-PROG SELECTION
As braking and anti-skid computation depend on tire
diameter, if, for any reason you have to use a
compatible BSCU from another aircraft, some actions
must be done (refer to AMM).
This function is used after removal/installation of
the BSCU. Its purpose is to adapt the BSCU
pin-programming to the aircraft pin-programming.
At the end of menu mode, the system must be set to
"OFF" then to "ON" to be correctly reset using the
A/SKID & N/W STRG switch.
Moreover, the pin-programming modification must also
be performed on the second BSCU system.
Displayed data
- SELV ORDER = selector valve status (OPEN or
CLOSED).
- SSV CURRENT = servovalve current comprised
between -10mA and +10mA.
- STEER ORDER = commanded steering angle.
- CAPT ANGLE = CAPT steering handwheel angle.
- FO
ANGLE = F/O steering handwheel angle.
- PEDAL ANGLE = ELAC angle.
- NWS ANGLE3GC= RVDT COM angle.
- SSV SPOOL
= LVDT spool position comprised
between -0.6 mm and +0.6 mm.
The REFRESH key is used to refresh the values of the
nose wheel steering parameters, as required.
UFD4200
NOTES: The pin-programming reference can be checked

using system 1 and 2 LRU IDENTIFICATION pages.
PIN-PROG SELECTION menu pages can be slightly
different depending on if BSCU standard 7 or
BSCU standard 8 is installed. Whatever your
configuration is, the principle remians the
same.
STEERING DATA
STEERING DATA function displays in real time and clear
language some parameters of the nose wheel steering
system.
This
function
allows
any
possible
malfunctioning of this system to be identified in case
of a non axial roll-out.
