The MLG [main landing gear] retracts inwards into the fuselage wheel well. Each MLG has two doors. The outboard door is rigidly attached at the strut. The inboard door operates by mechanical linkage to the strut and is held in up position by two uplock cylinders. This uplock is released when landing gear lever is placed in down position by hydraulic pressure, or by nitrogen pressure in emergency. The MLG is held, while airborne, in retracted position by hydraulic pressure in the actuator and by the inboard door mechanical uplock, if pressure drops. As the gear is extended, an internal lock in the actuator automatically locks it in fully extended positions. 4, record 4, English, - landing%20gear%20control%20lever

La séquence d'extension/rétraction des trains est conditionnée par la position du levier de commande «rentrée/sortie» des trains et par la réponse des détecteurs de positions du train et des trappes. Elle commande successivement l'ouverture des trappes, le déverrouillage du train, l'extension du train, le verrouillage du train en position basse, puis la fermeture des trappes principales (et inversement lors de la rétraction). 5, record 4, French, - levier%20de%20commande%20train

The roller installed on the outboard landing gear bellcrank was of a smaller diameter than the required part and was designed to be used as an uplock roller vice bellcrank roller. The smaller diameter of the roller reduced the required clearance in relation to the roller's location on the heel of the positioning cam. Repetitive landing loads transmitted through the drag brace were initially absorbed by the roller hitting the lip of the cam, until the lip of the cam was worn away. 3, record 6, English, - roller

Le diamètre du galet monté sur le guignol extérieur du train était inférieur à celui de la pièce requise, et ce galet avait été conçu pour être utilisé comme galet de verrouillage train rentré plutôt que comme galet de guignol. Le diamètre plus faible du galet a réduit l'espacement nécessaire par rapport à la position du galet sur le talon de la came de positionnement. Les charges répétitives à l'atterrissage transmises par la contrefiche ont initialement été absorbées par le galet qui a percuté le rebord de la came jusqu'à ce que ce dernier soit complètement usé. 3, record 6, French, - galet
