MLG [14 records]

Record 1 2010-02-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aeronautical Engineering and Maintenance
  • Suspension Systems (Motor Vehicles and Bicycles)
CONT

each MLG [main landing gear] is mounted directly aft of the shock strut it actuates and the piston rod is attached to the shock strut by the downlock lever arm so that the force of the extending piston rod acts on the shock strut at a point below and aft to its fulcrum.

Record 3 2008-04-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Flight Controls (Aeroindustry)
  • Landing Gear (Aeroindustry)
CONT

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.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Commandes de vol (Constructions aéronautiques)
  • Atterrisseur (Constructions aéronautiques)
CONT

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).

Lorsqu'il a rentré le train après le décollage, l'équipage a remarqué que les trappes de train ne se fermaient pas. Il a sorti le train et les trois voyants verts se sont allumés, mais après avoir consulté le personnel de maintenance de la compagnie relativement aux trappes, il est revenu à l'aéroport. Le personnel de maintenance a remplacé le dispositif électronique du contacteur de proximité et a rentré et sorti le trains plusieurs fois, sans autres problèmes.
