| + | The landing gear is of the tricycle type, with a steerable nose | ||
| + | wheel and two main wheels. Wheel fairings are optional equipment | ||
| + | for both the main and nose wheels. Shock absorption is provided by | ||
| + | the tubular spring steel main landing gear struts and the air/oil nose | ||
| + | gear shock strut. Each main gear wheel is equipped with a | ||
| + | hydraulically actuated disc type brake on the inboard side of each | ||
| + | wheel. | ||

| + | |||
| + | The airplane has a single-disc, hydraulically actuated brake on | ||
| + | each main landing gear wheel. Each brake is connected, by a | ||
| + | hydraulic line, to a master cylinder attached to each of the pilot's | ||
| + | rudder pedals. The brakes are operated by applying pressure to the | ||
| + | top of either the left (pilot's) or right (copilot's) set of rudder pedals, | ||
| + | which are interconnected. When the airplane is parked, both main | ||
| + | wheel brakes may be set by utilizing the parking brake which is | ||
| + | operated by a handle under the left side of the instrument panel. To | ||
| + | apply the parking brake, set the brakes with the rudder pedals, pull | ||
| + | the handle aft, and rotate it 90° down. | ||
