Product Description

The 55540-5 is a nose landing gear selector valve that routes hydraulic pressure to NLG actuators for extend and retract operations. This valve controls directional flow in the landing gear hydraulic circuit, switching between extend and retract positions based on pilot input. Specified for phosphate-ester hydraulic fluid, the valve is installed in the main landing gear control system on Bombardier Challenger 601 aircraft.

Installation requires verification of IPC compatibility and adherence to aircraft maintenance manual procedures. Replace only with OEM-equivalent components.
