Hydraulic circuit for operating an aircraft landing gear

Abstract

The invention relates to a hydraulic circuit for operating an aircraft landing gear comprising: a general valve (1) for admitting a supply pressure into the circuit; distributors (4, 6) for supplying undercarriages and/or landing gear doors operating actuators (3) or release actuators for hooks (5) maintaining the undercarriages and/or the doors in the retracted position; a depressurization valve (102) for, in an open position, allowing the selective distribution of supply pressure to an extension chamber (3A) or a retraction chamber (3B) of each operating actuator by the distributors, and, in a depressurization position, forcing the return of a retraction chamber of each operating cylinder. According to the invention, the depressurization valve is returned (105) in a stable manner to the depressurization position, and is moved into the open position only in response to the presence of supply pressure downstream of the general valve.
