Hydraulics help an airplanes landing gear by retracting it (raising it into the plane). Simple gravity is what pulls it down into place.

When do airplanes turn on Landing lights?

Landing lights are placed at the airports. Airplanes do not have them. They two or three blinking lights which they put on when they fly at night. Airplanes absolutely DO have landing lights. They generally turn on landing lights when on final, established on an approach, or in general, a few minutes prior to landing. Many pilots use variations of the pre-landing check or GUMPBLES while on final or just before... Gas (on), Undercarriage (gear down), Mixture(rich), Prop (forward), Brakes (check), Landing Light(s) (ON), Engine Gauges (in the green), Seatbelts (fastened). The big guys often have flashing landing lights which generally serve the same purpose, but are obviously more visibly apparent, especially useful at busier airports where situational awareness is critical for controllers as well as nearby airplanes holding short, waiting for takeoff, or taxiing on the ground.. They also help light up the runway centerline when visibility is low or dark on landing. At 150mph, and closing in on the ground in the dark, those landing lights come in pretty handy when you're looking for that runway centerline.


What is magnesium used for in airplanes?

I have a 2000 Saturn SC2 it has a newer clutch in it and I have problems getting it into gear please help?

More diagnosis is needed to determine if the clutch was installed wrong, or the hydraulics were ruined during the operation. Many times the hydraulics are ruined by not placing them away from any accidental encounters and the hydraulic arm that pushes the pressure plate is pressed in and thus the hydraulics are ruined. See saturnfans.com for more info

Are flaps the ailerons?

No. On MOST airplanes, ailerons are separate from flaps. Ailerons are used to help steer the airplane, while flaps are lowered to change the aerodynamic shape of the wing to provide more lift during take off and landing.
