Landing Gear
LANDING GEAR SYSTEM.
The landing gear is tricycle-type, forward retracting, Control Pane/
and hydraulically operated. The main landing gear
consists of a single common trunnion upon which two
wheels are singly mounted. This arrangement of the
main landing gear provides symmetrical main landing
gear operation. Thermal pressure relief plugs are in-
corporated in the main landing gear wheels to relieve
tire pressure in the event of maximum performance
braking. The nose landing gear has two dual-mounted
wheels. The landing gear system is normally powered
by the utility hydraulic system. A pneumatic system
is provided as an alternat:e (emergency) means of ex-
tending the gear in the event the normal system fails.
The nose landing gear retracts into the nose wheel
well, and the main landing gear retracts into a fuse-

caution lamps will remain out; and the pitch, roll, and

ccdures, Section II. When the test switches are released,
no caution Iamps should light.

Surface Motion and Lights Check.

When the master test switch is held and the stability


augmentation switch is placed co the SURFACE MO-
TION and LIGHTS position, two out of three gyros in
the pitch, roll, and yaw channels are displaced hut no
accclcrometcrs are torqued. This sends only two rate
signals to each computer. The absence of the third
hranch is detected and all three channel caution lamps
light. In addition, one branch of each servo is also
failed and the three damper caution lamps will light.
Further, in the pitch and roll axes, one branch of the
gain changer is failed to minimum and this error is
detected, causing the pitch gain changer and roll gain
changer caution lamps to light. Thus eight lamps light
and all three dampws displace as requited in Normal
Procedures, Section II. The damper reset button is used
ro reset all IamPs after the flaps and slats are extended.

Stability Augmentation Test Operation.
During the stability augmentation checks a rapid
displacement of the control stick will occw. This is
a normal condition. The stick should not be n~anually
constrzincd during these checks since this will impose
unnecessary loads on the stick-damper mechanical link-

the localizer and glide slope receivers. When the switch
is placed to POWER, 28 volts dc power is applied to
the localizer and glide slope receivers.

The engine anti-icing system prevents formation of

lated compressor bleed air. The engine inlet anti-icing
system prevents formation of ice on the spike tip, the
leading edge of the inlet cowl and inside the main
engine air duct of the inlet cowl. The engine inlet
anti-icing system uses air from the air conditioning

heated by 115 volt ac electrical heaters. Although the
engine anti-icing, engine inlet anti-icing, and spike
sensing probe anti-icing are three separate systems,
they are controlled by a single, three position switch.
Both automatic and manual modes of operation are

Rocket Motor.

The rocket motor hits both a lower and zn upper noz-


ZIG. The lower nwzle provides a normal thrusi of
27.000 pounds below 300 knots. To avoid excessive g-
forces to the crew memhcrs, the rocket motor is pto-
vided with two concentric upper nonles. The small
auxiliary nozzle in the center of the upper nozzle fires
sirnultxneously with the lower nozzle to provide about
500 pounds of thrust to cnunteract slow speed ctt:w
module pitchup tendencies. Maximum upper ttozzle
thrust is achieved at aircraft speeds above 300 knots by
sc\oranre of the rocket upper nozzle di,phr;,gm. The
increase in exhaust arca results in reduced lower nozxle
thrust (about 9000 pounds at the lower nozzle and
7000 pounds at the upper nozzle) and extended o,xr;rt-
ing time. The rocket motor is located between the soar

This section conrains procedures to be followed in the


event of an emergency condition. These procedures
will insure maximum safety for the crew and/or air-
craft until a safe landing or orher appropriate action is
accomplished. Although rhe procedures contained
herein are considered the best available, the pilot mnsf
exercise sound judgment when confronted with an
emergency. The CRITICAL items (ALL CAPITAL
BOLD FACE LETTERS) conrained in the various
emergency procedures are those steps which must be
performed immediately without reference to written
checklists. These critical steps shall he committed to
memory. All other steps, wherein there is time avail-
able to consult a checklist, are considered NON-
CRITICAL. The nature and severity of the encoun-
tered emergency will dictare the necessity for comply
ing with all or part of the steps in a particular
procedure. It is essential, therefore, that aircrew de-
termine the correct course of action by use of sound
judgment. As soon as possible, the pilot (aircraft com-
mander) should notify the otber crew member and
flight leader of any existing emergency and of the in-
tended action. When an emergency occurs, three basic
rules are established which apply to airborne emergen-
cies. They should be thoroughly understood by all air-
crews.
1. Maintain aircraft control.
2. Analyze the situation and take proper action.
3. Land as the situation dictates.
