VTOL.2305 Landing gear systems n/a (a) The landing gear must be designed to: (1) provide stable support and control to the aircraft during surface operation; and (2) account for likely system failures and likely operation environment (including anticipated limitation exceedances and emergency procedures). (b) The aircraft must have a reliable means of stopping the aircraft with sufficient kinetic energy absorption to account for landing and take-off, in all approved conditions, and of holding the aircraft in position when parked. (c) For aircraft that have a system that actuates the landing gear, there must be: (1) a positive means to keep the landing gear in the landing position; and (2) an alternative means available to bring the landing gear in the landing position when a non-deployed system position would be a hazard.
