PART 1-DESCRIPTIVE
21. Undercarriage position indicators
(a) There is an undercarriage position indicator (58) (113) in
each cockpit. When electrical power is available, the indi-
cators operate as follows:-
Undercarriage locked down .. 3 green lights
Undercarriage unlocked .. 3 red lights
Undercarriage locked up .. All lights out
(b) If any wheel is not locked down and either throttle is less
than one-third open, a micro-switch (6) operates and
warning lights (56) (112) to the right of the indicators
comes on. At throttle setting giving 12,500 r.p.m. (approx.)
these lights will remain on continuously.
(c) When the nosewheel is down and locked, a small rod pro-
trudes about one inch above the nose of the aircraft.
22. Flap controls and indicators
(a) Normal operation
The hydraulically-operated flaps are controlled by two
interconnected levers (32) (103), one on the left of each
instrument panel, marked UP-NEUTRAL-DOWN. Any
intermediate flap angle may be selected by moving either
lever to UP or DOWN as appropriate and, when the flaps
have reached the desired position, returning the lever to
NEUTRAL. The flap lever should be returned to
NEUTRAL after each operation of the flaps.
(b) Emergency operation
If hydraulic pressure fails, the flaps may be raised or
lowered by operating the handpump after making the
normal selection.
(c) Position indicator
There is an electrically-operated position indicator (34)
(105) in each cockpit.
23. Airbrake controls
(a) Normal operation
The hydraulically-operated airbrakes are controlled by
two interconnected levers (17) (95), one on the port wall of
each cockpit, below the throttle levers. The levers are
marked OUT (aft)-AIRBRAKES-IN (forward). There is
no position indicator, the brakes being visible from both
cockpits. 20
