L-1011 Landing Gear and Brakes: MLG Visual Downlock


The L-1011 has a rather interesting way of indicating main landing gear down lock. Located on the top of each wing directly over the main gear is a circular pop-up indicator. When the main gear is down and locked, a mechanical linkage pops up this indicator about 1/2" oboe the wing surface. The linkage is driven by the jury brace actuator rod end.
