The main wheels are fitted with hydraulically powered and electrically actuated carbon brakes. Anti-skid protection and automatic braking is also provided.
The landing gear is of the tricycle type. The two MLG assemblies, one located on the inboard portion of each wing, retract inboard each into the MLG bay located in the central fuselage. The NLG assembly is located beneath the cockpit and retracts forward into the nose section of the fuselage. Normal extension and retraction is electrically controlled and hydraulically operated by the cockpit landing gear control handle located in the center console.
Landing gear position and status is visually displayed on EICAS and aurally annunciated in the cockpit. The anti-skid, brake control, nose wheel steering indications and status are also displayed on EICAS and interface with the central maintenance system for failure detection.
The Aircraft has four braked main wheels (two per main gear), and two free rolling nose wheels. The main wheels and nose wheel are fitted with tubeless tires incorporating fusible plugs for over temperature protection and metallic diaphragm plugs for over pressure protection.
Brake temperature is monitored with a system consisting of four sensors each mounted in a brake housing and a brake temperature-monitoring unit. Independent brake temperature is indicated in the cockpit on the EICAS.
The brake/anti-skid control system interfaces with a dual integrated digital electronic controller with autobrake capability. The control unit provides brake control with independent wheel anti-skid protection, locked wheel crossover protection, touchdown protection, gear retract braking and Built-In-Test-Equipment (BITE).
The steering system is comprised of an electronically controlled and hydraulically powered actuation of the nose landing gear steering actuators for taxi, take-off and landing operations. When the steering is not active due to pilot selection or failure conditions, the system continues to provide effective shimmy damping to ensure dynamic stability of the nose wheel.
Steering commands are input to the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) through the pilot’s hand wheel (full authority) and/or rudder pedals (limited authority).
Landing gear retracted, in travel, not safe or down-and-locked as well as gear doors open indication is provided to the crew via the EICAS system. “Gear not down” aural warning is provided.
10.0 POWER PLANT
Two Rolls-Royce Deutschland BR710A2-20/01 bypass turbofan engines power the Aircraft. The engines produce 14,750 lb. of thrust up to 35°C (ISA+20°C) at sea level. The engine is assembled from seven sub-assemblies: fan rotor, intermediate fan casing, HP compressor, combustor/HP turbine, LP turbine, exhaust case and accessory gearbox. It has a single stage low-pressure fan driven by a two stage shrouded low-pressure turbine. A ten-stage high-pressure compressor is driven by a two-stage high-pressure turbine. The first four stages of the compressor are equipped with variable-pitch stators controlled by the engine’s Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC). The combustor is an annular conventional flow type designed for low emissions and smoke control. A forced mixer exhaust is integrated with a two-door full flow type thrust reverser. The hydraulically operated thrust reverser system, with weight on wheels or wheel spin-up available, will deploy when the thrust reverser levers on the throttle quadrant are operated. For maintenance, the thrust reverser can be locked open.
The engine has been designed for “on condition” type maintenance which requires periodic inspection of specific major components. Only those parts that show distress are replaced or overhauled. The periodic maintenance checks are established utilizing the MSG-3 process.
The complete power plant assembly is detachable from the pylon as a unit.

12.0 SYSTEMS
Flight Controls
Flight controls consist of two separate elevators, two ailerons, a single rudder, a trimmable horizontal stabilizer, eight multi-function spoilers and four ground spoilers. Six segments of Xxxxxx flaps and eight segments of leading edge slats are also installed.
The primary flight controls are conventional, mechanically controlled and hydraulically operated. Cockpit surface position indications are displayed on EICAS. Primary lateral control is accomplished by hydraulically powered ailerons and assisted by multi-function spoilers. The aileron control is a dual system with anti-jam protection. Pitch control is provided by a dual mechanical control system activating two separate hydraulically operated elevators. Yaw control is provided by means of three power control units hydraulically powering the rudder.
The flap/slat system is controlled by an integrated flap/slat selector located in the cockpit with positions displayed on EICAS.
Eight multi-function, electrically controlled spoilers are installed, with simplex hydraulically powered PCU’s, one per surface. These spoilers provide roll control to assist the ailerons, in particular for crosswind landing cases. The spoilers can also be symmetrically controlled by the pilot, to be used as speed brakes, via the flight spoiler control lever. On the ground, these spoilers act as lift dumpers, and are automatically deployed similarly to the ground spoilers. Spoiler position is displayed on EICAS. To provide ground lift dumping, four ground retract/extend spoilers (inboard/outboard) with simplex actuators are installed. They are controlled in pairs by a hydraulic manifold and are automatically commanded to deploy by their dual controllers, along with the multi-function spoilers, upon Aircraft touchdown or rejected take-off. Status and positioning is displayed on EICAS.
Lateral and directional trim is accomplished by controls on the center console that operate electric trim actuators. Longitudinal trim is accomplished by switches on the pilots’ control wheels, which command changes in the horizontal stabilizer angle through flight control units.
