The aircraft landing gear in the aviation industry is a crucial component of the flight process, which is directly related to the safety of the flight and the comfort of passengers. In order to ensure the safe operation of aircraft landing gear, airlines have formulated a series of strict operating procedures. This article will discuss the operating procedures of aircraft landing gear in the aviation industry and introduce their main contents.
1. Check the landing gear
Before each flight, the crew needs to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the landing gear of the aircraft. This includes checking whether the exterior of the landing gear is damaged or corroded, checking whether the air pressure and hydraulic system are normal, and checking the condition of the tires, brakes and shock absorbers. Follow-up operations can only be carried out if the landing gear is confirmed to be intact.
2. Unfolding and storage of the landing gear
Before the aircraft enters or leaves the runway, the pilot needs to unfold or retract the landing gear according to the operating procedures. In the process of unfolding the landing gear, the pilot needs to ensure that the aircraft is in a stable state and ensure that each landing gear has been fully unfolded through system instructions. Similarly, when storing the landing gear, the pilot also needs to operate carefully and make sure that the landing gear has been completely stored.
3. Landing gear control and monitoring
The control and monitoring of the aircraft landing gear is one of the important tasks of pilots. They need to use joysticks or buttons to control the lifting and closing of the landing gear. In this process, the pilot needs to monitor the status of the landing gear at all times, including the position, height and speed of the landing gear. Any abnormal situation requires timely corresponding countermeasures to ensure the safety and normal operation of the landing gear.
