| The flight crew had discussed the sound and concluded that they were hearing an oleo bottom out. |
|
| When the oleo strut does not extend and thus does not pass through the notches, the clearance is reduced by 0.250 inches on each side. |
|
| The filler valve is screwed into the oleo strut and a locking wire prevents it from loosening. |
|
| During the pre-flight inspection, a fully compressed oleo strut is easily visible. |
|
| The compression of the oleo strut allowed the landing gear to migrate out of the uplock latch and fall on to the nose landing gear doors. |
|
| Tests with the oleo strut compressed revealed that the gravel deflectors need only pivot a few inches to become jammed in the well. |
|
| When the front wheels of the aircraft lift off the ground, the oleo strut, which contains hydraulic oil and nitrogen, extends fully. |
|
| Nevertheless, when the oleo strut operates correctly, the clearance available is sufficient for the landing gear to deploy as designed. |
|
| The anchorage area of the nose oleo was torn and a hydraulic connector was broken while retrieving the aircraft. |
|
| The left oleo pressure and fluid had been discharged following the accident. |
|
| If the oleo strut had been off-centre once airborne, the system's logic would have prevented retraction of the landing gear. |
|
| Three inches of the oleo strut are visible when the aircraft is on the ground and the oleo strut is compressed. |
|
| The oleo did not compress on initial touchdown because of excessive nitrogen pressure, a 42-degree flap angle, low descent velocity, and low aircraft landing weight. |
|
| The level of hydraulic oil in the oleo strut was within prescribed limits. |
|
| The filler valve is located in the upper section of the oleo strut. |
|
| Service history on Challenger 601 aircraft indicates no record of oleo nitrogen depletion leading to the inability to extend nose landing gear for aircraft not equipped with a gravel runway kit. |
|
| Symex's Port Melbourne manufacturing facility produces refined oleo products such as glycerine, stearine, oleine and distilled fatty acids. |
|
| To ensure that the landing gear pin and latch are perfectly aligned, the oleo strut must be fully extended and the landing gear must be perfectly centred forward. |
|
| Butterine manufacturers used neutral lard and oleo oil from packing plants to manufacture oleomargarine. |
|
| The landing gear oleo extension was found to be greater than that recommended by the aircraft manufacturer, but still in the range that allowed for proper operation of the weight-on switches. |
|
|
|
| Republican Dale Kooyenga goes on to point out that serving oleo in the lockups would save money, because butter costs three times more than margarine. |
|
| James Agut Bureth and Esbon Oleo Nyapir have a week to appeal NEC decision. |
|
| The other contract, awarded by Queiroz Galvao Oleo e Gas to Kepple FESL Brasil, involves repair and maintenance of the semi Alaskan Star. |
|
| In Buenos Aires, it has an agreement with Guia Oleo, the online restaurant guide opinion leader. |
