The Wheels  display will automatically be shown on the System Display when :

Spoilers

 

Landing Gear indicators

 

Wheel Pressure and temperature

 

A repeat of the spoiler indications from the Flight Controls SD page are shown at the top of the display.

 

 

As the wheels page is the default page for touch down, the flight crew are able to observe the correct activation of the ground spoilers here.

 

 

The landing gear leg position and undercarriage door state is shown on the wheels page. .

 

 

When the landing gear is up, the wheels page shows just a single line to indicate the closed undercarriage door state.

 

 

When the landing gear is down, the leg position is shown as a lined triangle. The leg position has two sensors so each is drawn, giving two triangles.

 

 

Each wheel’s brake temperature and pressure is displayed. The ‘R’ indicates a radial tyre.

 

If the brake temperature exceeds 300 deg C then it is shown in amber. For aircraft with a brake cooling fan fitted, the Hot indication is illuminated on the brake fan push button.
