9-30. LANDING EMERGENCIES.
WARNING
Structural damage may exist
after landing with brake, tire, or
landing
gear
malfunctions.
Under no circumstances shall
an attempt be made to inspect
the aircraft until jacks have
been installed.
a.
Landing Gear Unsafe Indication. Should one
or more of the landing gear fail to indicate a safe
condition, the following steps should be taken before
proceeding manually to extend the gear.
1.
LANDING
GEAR
RELAY
circuit
breaker Check in.
2.
Gear lights Check.
3.
Gear handle DN.
4.
Manual gear extension As required.
NOTE
If gear continues to indicate
unsafe,
attempt
to
verify
position
visually
by
other
aircraft.
b.
Landing Gear Emergency Extension.
CAUTION
After an emergency landing
gear extension has been made,
do not stow the gear ratchet
handle or move any landing
gear controls or reset any
switches or circuit breakers
until
the
cause
of
the
malfunction
has
been
corrected.
1.
Airspeed 130 KIAS.
2.
LANDING
GEAR
RELAY
circuit
breaker Out.
3.
Gear handle DN.
4.
Landing gear alternate engage handle
Lift and turn clockwise to the stop.
5.
Alternate
landing
gear
extension
handle Pump.
6.
Gear lights illuminated Check.
NOTE
After
a
practice
manual
extension, the alternate handle
may be stowed and the landing
gear
retracted
electrically.
Rotate the alternate engage
handle counterclockwise and
push it down. Stow the
handle, push in the LANDING
GEAR RELAY circuit breaker
on the overhead circuit breaker
panel and retract the gear in
the normal manner with the
landing gear switch.
c.
Gear-up Landing (All Gear Up or Unlocked).
Due to decreased drag with the gear up, the
tendency will be to overshoot the approach. The
center-of-gravity with the gear retracted is aft of the
main wheels. This condition will allow the aircraft to
be landed with the gear retracted and should result in
a minimum amount of structural damage to the
aircraft, providing the wings are kept level. It is
recommended that the fuel load be reduced and the
landing made with flaps fully extended on a hard
surface runway. Landing on soft ground or dirt is not
recommended as sod has a tendency to roll up into
chunks, damaging the underside of the aircraft's
structure. When fuel load has been reduced,
prepare for a gear-up landing as follows:
1.
Crew emergency briefing Complete.
2.
Loose equipment Stowed.
3.
Bleed air valves ENVIRO OFF.
4.
Cabin pressure switch DUMP.
5.
Cabin emergency hatch Remove and
stow.
6.
Seat belts and harnesses Secured.
7.
Landing gear alternate engage handle
Disengaged.
8.
Alternate
landing
gear
extension
handle Stowed.
9.
Gear relay circuit breaker In.
10.
Gear handle UP.
11.
Nonessential
electrical
equipment
OFF.
12.
Flaps As required (DOWN for landing).
NOTE
Fly a normal approach to
touchdown. After landing,
accomplish the following:
13.
Condition levers FUEL CUTOFF.
14.
Fire pull handles Pull.
15.
Master switch OFF.
