PART IV - EMERGENCY HANDLING
(vii) To raise the undercarriage on the ground in an
emergency following normal selection, rotate and
press the normal UP selector button. It must not
be used in this way to retract the undercarriage in
the air as there is a risk of the legs being retracted
when not fully extended and the leg fairings may be
damaged. If the UP button cannot be pressed in
normally after take-off, the wheels must be left down
and the aircraft landed.
(b) Flaps
(i) If electrical or hydraulic supply failure has occurred
the flaps may be lowered, fully down only, by pull-
ing out the emergency lowering control after first
pushing in the central knob. If the electrical supply
has failed, only the hydraulic fluid in the lower end
of the jacks will be jettisoned when the emergency
is used.
(ii) If the electrical and hydraulic supplies are normal
provided that wind conditions are favourable and
runway length is adequate, it is recommended that
a flapless landing in Power should be made (see
para. 98) because it is not possible to isolate the
flap hydraulic lines from the remainder of the
hydraulic system, and all hydraulic fluid will be
jettisoned when the emergency lowering system is
used. Manual reversion will then follow.
96. Landing with an undercarriage unit not locked down
NOTE.-Experience has shown that these techniques
cause minimum damage to the aircraft and none
to the pilot.
(a) Both main wheels only locked down
(i) Use up as much fuel as is safe in order to move the
C. of G. as far aft as possible. Unless circumstances
dictate otherwise land on a runway.
(ii) Check harness tight and locked.
(iii) Select hood open when crossing the threshold.
