EMERGENCY GEAR EXTENSION SYSTEMS
The emergency extension system lowers the landing
gear if the main power system fails. Some airplanes
have an emergency release handle in the cockpit, |
which is connected through a mechanical linkage to
the gear up locks. When the handle is operated, it
releases the up locks. and allows the gears to free fall, or
extend under their own weight. [Figure 11-9] |
