Landing Gear Lever
Provides electrical signals to the two LGCIUs which control the green hydraulic supply.

• UP - Retracts landing gear. When the gear doors open, the main wheels are automatically braked by the normal brake system. The nose wheel are stopped by a brake band in the gear well during door closure. When the lever is UP, the hydraulic supply is automatically cut off above 260 KIAS.
• DOWN - Extends the landing gear. The system remains pressurized if green hydraulic pressure is available. An interlock mechanism prevents unsafe retraction by locking the lever in the DOWN position when any gear shock absorber is compressed or the nosewheel steering is not centered.

DOWN Arrow
Illuminates red associated with ECAM "GEAR NOT DOWN" warning if the landing gear is not downlocked with any one of the following:

• Radio altitude less than 750 feet and both engine's N₁ below 75%.
• Radio altitude less than 750 feet and Flaps 3 or FULL selected.
• Flaps FULL selected with both radio altimeters failed
