TROUBLESHOOT THIS SYSTEMDefine the reported symptom, confirm aircraft and configuration applicability, then follow current approved fault-isolation and maintenance data.
Why it exists
Support the aircraft on the ground, absorb landing loads, provide directional control and braking, and transition the gear safely between ground and flight configurations.
What belongs here
- Main and nose landing gear
- Extension and retraction actuators
- Uplocks and downlocks
- Landing-gear control and indication
- Wheels, tires and brakes
- Anti-skid system
- Nose-wheel steering
- Brake temperature monitoring
What users may see
Gear-position lights or synoptics, unsafe warnings, brake temperature, tire or brake status, steering and anti-skid messages may be shown.
What technicians commonly evaluate
Aircraft support and safety pinning, hydraulic isolation, rigging, proximity-sensor adjustment, tire and brake limits, wheel installation, anti-skid testing and steering calibration are recurring concerns.
