Landing With Flat Main Gear

1.Landing GearLeave DOWN✓

2.Fuel SelectorsSELECT main tank on same side as defective tire (feel for detent)✓

3.Fuel SelectorsMAIN TANKS (feel for detent) before landing✓

4.Wind should be headwind or crosswind opposite the defective tire✓

5.Wing FlapsDOWN 45°✓

6.On approach, align airplane with edge of runway opposite the defective tire, allowing room for a mild turn in the landing roll✓

7.Land slightly wing low on the side of the inflated tire and lower the nose wheel to the ground immediately for positive steering✓

8.Use full aileron in landing roll to lighten the load on the defective tire✓

9.Apply brakes only on the inflated tire to minimize landing roll and maintain directional control✓

10.Stop airplane to avoid further damage unless active runway must be cleared for other traffic✓

NOTE: Do not attempt to retract the landing gear if any gear tire blowout occurs. The affected tire may be distorted enough to bind the gear strut within the wheel well and prevent later extension.

NOTE: Prior to landing, if in-flight time permits, fuel from the tank on the side of the flat/damaged main gear should be used first to lighten the load on the wing. However, an adequate supply of fuel should be left in this tank so that it may be used for landing.
