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

Landing gear visual indicators provide the flight crew with definite reference markings that can be physically checked to ascertain the position of the landing gear overcenter links while the airplane is airborne.... The main gear downlock visual indicators... are two red anodize stripes applied to each main gear downlock hinge.... The nosegear downlock visual indicators... consists of red anodize stripe applied to the upper and lower lock link assemblies at the breakover hinge point. When the nosegear is down and locked, a straight red anodize stripe is visible on the top side of the overcenter link when viewed through the peephole in flight compartment floor. When the nosegear is up and locked, a straight line of scotchlite tape is visible on the right side of the overcenter linkage extending across both upper and lower links, when viewed through the peephole in the flight compartment floor.

Les pivots à ressort sont employés pour les portes lourdes, à partir de 100 kg environ, car les charnières à ressort ou les ferme-porte sont alors insuffisants. Ces pivots comportent également un freinage par huile et se font, comme les charnières, à simple et à double action.

OBS

«pivot à ressort à frein hydraulique» : Pivots à ressort. Ils se font avec ou sans frein hydraulique permettant au vantail de revenir à sa position de fermeture sans oscillations inutiles. Dans le cas de ferrage par pivots à ressort, la porte repose sur le pivot encastré dans le sol.
