    Study Notes

    Landing Gear Isolation

    • During normal flight, landing gears on most aircraft are isolated from hydraulic pressure
    • A mechanical locking system (e.g., an uplock hook) keeps the landing gears retracted
    • Aircraft with three-position landing gear control levers isolate the gears from the hydraulic system when the lever is moved to the "off" position
    • In electrically controlled systems without an "off" position, hydraulic supply is automatically shut off when airspeed reaches approximately 250 knots
    • A safety valve closes at this airspeed, cutting off hydraulic supply to the selector valves
