1 FLIGHT SIMULATOR SYSTEMS 1. GENERAL This section describes systems required for simulator operation. This equipment includes the Cirrus Landing Gear Simulator (CLGS). 2. DESCRIPTION The intent of the CLGS system is to replicate the appearance, style, and general function of a typical retractable landing gear system. The CLGS can be manipulated in flight to simulate a variety of possible system failures including incomplete gear extension/retraction, indicator system failures, and the use of emergency gear extension. A. Cirrus Landing Gear Simulator (CLGS) The airplane is equipped with a Cirrus Landing Gear Simulator (CLGS) designed to be used in flight to facilitate training on the operation of retractable landing gear systems. The CLGS system consists of the Pilot Interface Panel, Instructor Fault Select Panel, Warning Horn Push Button, Logic Unit, Warning Horn, Circuit Breaker, and the necessary Wiring and Connectors. (1) Pilot Interface Panel The Pilot Interface Panel, located at the bottom of the center console opposite to the Flap Control Switch, provides the pilot with the ability to simulate operation of a retractable landing gear system. The panel is backlit for night operations and contains a GEAR UP/DOWN Locking Toggle Switch, three dimmable Light Emitting Diodes (LED), an Emergency Extension push-button and a Lamp Test push-button. To simulate prevention of accidental gear retraction, the GEAR UP/DOWN Toggle Switch must be slightly pulled to release a lock prior to pivoting the lever up or down to simulate gear operation. To facilitate system identification the Toggle Switch knob is in the shape of a wheel. Three LEDs, labeled NOSE, LH, and RH, indicate gear position and security. Red indicates gear is in-transit. Green indicates gear is down and locked. No lights indicate gear is up and locked. The Emergency Extension push-button simulates a secondary method of extending the landing gear. Pressing and holding the EMER EXT push-button will turn all of the LED's Red until the EMER EXT push-button has been held for a cumulative total of 5 seconds, at which time the LED's illuminate Green. The Lamp Test push-button provides for LED continuity testing. When the LAMP TEST pushbutton is pressed and held, the LED's will illuminate Red for 2±1 seconds and then illuminate Green until the push-button is released. (2) Instructor Fault Selection Panel The Instructor Fault Selection Panel, located out of the pilot s view on the RH mid-console trim panel, provides the instructor with the ability to change CLGS system behavior via a rotary switch to simulate a variety of landing gear malfunctions. (3) Warning Horn Push Button The Warning Horn Push Button, labeled LDG GR SIM ALERT, is located aft of power lever and provides instructor the ability to simulate warning horn when landing gear is not extended and: power lever is reduced below threshold position, i.e. simulation of power-to-idle gear warning, or flaps are extended to landing position, i.e. simulation of landing configuration gear warning. (4) Warning Horn The Warning Horn, located on the LH kick plate above the pilot s feet, is a piezo-ceramic audio indicator which, when activated, supplies a 110 db pulsed warning tone. Page 1

2 (5) Logic Control Unit The Logic Control Unit, located in the center console adjacent to the fuel gage, provides the logic and timing functions for the Pilot Interface Panel and Instructor Fault Select Panel to create the behavior of the CLGS system. 28 VDC for CLGS System operation is supplied through 2-amp circuit breaker on MAIN BUS 3.
