LANDING GEAR

* The main landing gear is aluminium alloy with a rubber shock absorber system that is robust enough for rough strips. Retraction is by three hydraulic cylinders.
* The trailing link nose gear uses an oleo-pneumatic shock absorber that provides excellent ground load absorption. The same system is used on the certified P2006.
* A hydraulic Parker pump pressurises the system. In case of failure of the electro/hydraulic system, there is an emergency circuit with an independent tank which is constantly monitored. Should there be a total failure, the landing gear will drop under gravity.
* The main landing gear wheels and brakes are conventional aircraft size (5.00x5).
* The brake lever control and the parking brake are located forward between the seats.
