GENERAL
The nose gear is hinged on the structure between frames 16A and 17.
The nose gear includes a hydraulic actuating cylinder, a telescopic drag strut, direct acting shock absorber and a system for steering the nose
wheels on the ground.
Five doors close off the nose gear well and restore the fuselage profile.
It is extended and retracted by the Green Hydraulic System Gear Actuating Cylinder.
The Nose Gear is equipped with an Oleo Type Shock Absorber. The Link Tube supports the Trunnion, allowing the gear to be hinged between
Fuselage Frame (FR) 16A and 17.
The shock Absorber Rotating Barrel controlled by the Nose Wheel Steering (NWS) is linked to the Shock Absorber by a Torque Link Assembly.
The Nose Gear Telescope Drag Strut provides fore and aft bracing of the Nose Gear in the down locked position.
Mechanical locking of the drag strut is achieved by internal locking dogs. The internal locking dogs are released during landing gear retraction
cycle (Nose Gear Retraction Phase).

Cylinder
(1)General
The nose gear door actuating cylinder is of the double-acting type
equipped with two damping systems which slow down travel at the end of
the rod extension and retraction cycles.
(2)Description
(a)Slow-down at the end of rod retraction is achieved by closure of the
normal return orifice and passage of the fluid through an orifice of
smaller dimensions.
(b)Slow-down at the end of rod extension is also achieved by expelling the
fluid through a small-dimension orifice with a pressure relief valve
connected in parallel.
(c)In the door open position the rod bears on an internal stop.
(d)In the door closed position, end of travel clearance is provided and
the rod does not bottom.
(e)The actuating cylinder rod is equipped with a spherical end fitting
(door side).
(f)The actuating cylinder body is equipped with a gimbal joint (structure
side).

(1)General
(a)There are four bypass valves ; one per gear main door.
(b)The main gear door bypass valves are located in section 15 near the
door uplocks.
(c)The nose gear door bypass valves are located in the nose gear well ;
one on each sidewall.
(2)Operation
(a)Each bypass valve is operated by means of a manual control coupled to
the uplock release lever of the corresponding door.
(b)When operated the bypass valve interconnects the door actuating
cylinder opening and closing chambers and shuts off the door closing
supply line ; the door uplock hook is released simultaneously and the
door free falls to open position.
(c)When returned to normal configuration, the bypass valve admits pressure
into the actuating cylinder closing chamber and thus controls door
closure.

Gear Uplocks
Uplocks
(1)General
The uplock automatically locks the landing gear in the up position at the
end of the landing gear retraction cycle and remains locked until the
uplock release order is received.
(2)Operation
(a)Uplock release can be achieved by two independent systems :
1 Hydraulically with Green system pressure delivered by the gear
sequence valves controlled by the doors (normal mode)
2 Mechanically by means of the release lever provided (free fall mode).
(b)The door sequence valve is incorporated in the uplock assembly together
with the mechanism controlling displacement of the slide valve :
1 Upon gear uplock under the action of the locking lever actuated by the
springs and the locking dash-pot.
2 Upon gear downlock, gear movement being transmitted to the mechanism
by a lever
(c)This movement of the door sequence valve slide valve causes door
closure upon completion of the gear retraction or extension cycle.
(d)At the following cycle, inversion of the hydraulic pressure causes the
doors to open : gear uplock or downlock release causes the door
sequence valve slide valve to adopt a position such that the doors are
held open by the pressure and by locking of the pressure in the door
actuating cylinder opening side chamber.
(e)The Free Fall mechanism uplock release control first causes the uplock
release lever to disengage from the door sequence valve slide valve so
that uplock release remains possible even if the slide valve is seized.
Initial movement of the control does not, therefore, result in gear
uplock release thus enabling door uplock release to be achieved before
that of the gear.
(f)In the event of seizure of the door sequence valve slide valve in the
gear downlocked position, the beginning of the gear retraction cycle
causes the rupture of a shear pin inside the sequence valve and the
movement of a second slide valve, inside the former, which prevents
door closure at the end of the gear retraction cycle and subsequent
interference between the gear and the door during the following
extension cycle.
(g)To cover the risk of door sequence valve slide valve seizure at the
beginning of, or during the extension cycle, a spring rod is
incorporated in the gear-to-slide valve linkage and gear downlocking
is not hindered.
On the nose gear, the spring rod is installed in the linkage at
approximately one metre from the uplock.
(h)A mechanism prevents manual locking of the hook with the gear
downlocked.

Valves
(1)General
(a)The gear sequence valves serve to control the supply of pressure to the
gear lock release actuating cylinders and gear actuating cylinders
depending on the position of the doors.
(b)There is one sequence valve per gear main door, i.e. a total of four
sequence valves per aircraft. The slide valve of each sequence valve is
connected by a linkage to the corresponding door.
The sequence valves are located near to the doors :
- In the nose gear well for the nose gear.
(c)The two nose gear sequence valves are identical.
(2)Operation
(a)Nose gear sequence valve
1 The two nose gear sequence valves are hydraulically connected in
series.
When the two doors are closed the sequence valves connect the following to reservoir return :
- The nose gear actuating cylinder retraction chamber.
- The nose gear telescopic strut downlock release chamber.
- The nose gear uplock actuating cylinder release chamber.
2 When the two doors are open the sequence valves connect the nose gear
actuating cylinder retraction chamber and nose gear telescopic strut
downlock release chamber to the retraction supply system and the nose
gear uplock actuating cylinder release chamber to the extension supply
system.
3 In the door intermediate positions the sequence valves maintain the
connections to reservoir return until both doors are sufficiently open
for gear extension without fouling.
4 A system in the sequence valves is provided to ensure that, during
door closure at the end of gear extension, the flow of fluid from the
nose gear actuating cylinder retraction chamber to reservoir return,
can occur without interruption.
5 The system includes a check valve to ensure that this feature does not
result in momentary internal leakage at the end of door opening during
the gear retraction cycle.
6 A rigging hole is provided for locking the mechanical input lever in
the door open position.

A300/A310 Nose Gear System - Nose Wheel Steering (NWS) Mechanical Control - Component
Description
(1)The steering selector valve is energized and admits pressure to the
control valve when all the following conditions are satisfied :
(a)RH main gear and nose gear shock absorber relays energized (shock
absorbers compressed).
(b)The contacts of the microswitch controlled by the towing control lever
are closed (control lever in normal position).
(c)One of the two relays controlled by the HP fuel shut off valves deenergized (corresponding valve in open position).
(2)Inversely, when one of the first two conditions is not fulfilled, the
selector valve is de-energized. However, the nose gear shock absorber
relay is self-latched to prevent cuts in the hydraulic pressure supply
resulting from rebound of the nose gear during the takeoff and landing
phases.
(3)Both of the relays controlled by the HP fuel shut off valves must be
energized (valves closed) to cut off electrical power to the selector
valve. This function, which isolates the nose wheel steering system when
the engines are shut down, enables the check list to be performed on the
electric pump without internal leakage occurring in the control valve
(low available delivery).
Operation
Operation
The nose wheels are steerable by means of servomechanism controlled
mechanically from the flight compartment and powered by Green hydraulic
pressure tapped from the landing gear extension system.

GENERAL
The Main Gear Main Door Actuating Cylinder is a
double-acting type equipped with two damping systems
providing constant slow-down during rod extension
(Door Opening) and end of travel slow-down during rod
retraction (Door Closing).
DESCRIPTION
Slow-down at the end of rod retraction is achieved by
closure of the normal return orifice and passage of the
fluid through an orifice of smaller dimensions
(Restriction of fluid flow).
Slow-down during rod extension is achieved by limiting
the rate of flow to return by expelling the fluid through
the orifice of a restrictor valve. At the same time
supply fluid to the OPENING Chamber also passes
through a Restrictor Valve to maintain the pressure in
the OPENING Chamber at the limit of cavitation and
thus limit shock in the Actuating Cylinder at the end of
the OPENING cycle.
In the Main Door OPEN position, the rod contacts and
remains on an Cylinder Actuator internal stop.
In the door CLOSED position, end-of-travel clearance is
provided and the rod does not bottom out in the
Actuating Cylinder.

(1)General
The two main gear actuating cylinders are identical
The actuating cylinders are of the double-acting type each equipped
with a variable restrictor, a dampingsystem which slows down travel at
the end of rod retraction (gear retraction). The variable restrictor is
external to the actuating cylinder.
(2)Description
Slow down at the end of rod retraction is achieved by restriction of
the fluid, expelled from the extension side chamber, through a
calibrated orifice after closing of the main orifice.
The variable restrictor is installed on the actuating cylinder body.
Orifice A of the restrictor is connected to the actuating cylinder
retraction side chamber and orifice B to the retraction line.
The variable restrictor serves to limit pressure peaks in the actuating
cylinder at the beginning of the extension and retraction cycles.
It is controlled by a rod connected to the landing gear hinge arm.
In both the landing gear uplocked and downlocked positions, end of
travel clearance is provided in the actuating cylinder and the rod does
not bottom.

(
General
A Restrictor Valve is installed in the Supply Line to the Main Gear Main Door Actuating
Cylinder (Opening Chamber) to restrict the fluid entering the Actuating Cylinder and prevent
the shock due to the hydraulic pressure at the end of Main Gear Main Door opening cycle.
There are two Restrictor Valves per Main Gear (Four per aircraft):
One in the gear extension line
One in the associated door opening line.
Purpose
Restrictor Valve in the Landing Gear Extension Line.
A Restrictor Valve is installed in the supply line to the Main Gear Uplock Release Actuating Cylinder and Gear
Actuating Cylinder Extension Chamber and performs three main functions:
1. Maintain a pressure at the limit of cavitation in the Main Gear Actuating Cylinder Extension Chamber to limit
the shock in the actuating cylinder at the end of the gear extension cycle.
2. Prevent back pressure to the Main Gear Uplock Release Chamber after Main Gear Uplocking.
3. Slow down the speed of displacement of the Main Gear Uplock Release Actuating Cylinder Piston.

LOCKED flight configuration is obtained by the Pitch Damper
which utilizes a statically balanced position under the action of
hydraulic pressure in the Nitrogen Chamber of the Bogie Beam
Pitch Damper Assembly.
When the Main Gear Shock Absorber sliding rod moves from the
statically balanced position (Extension or Compression), the
hydraulic fluid is forced through the metering holes of the Pitch
Damper internal operating mechanism.
TThe Pitch Damper is equipped with a gaseous nitrogen Charging
vValve (Commonly called a Schraeder Valve) and a Hydraulic Fluid
iFilling valve.
