Abstract: An electrically activated landing gear control system is provided. A processing module of landing gear control system is provided with landing gear control system software that receives data relating to the position of a landing gear lever. Proximity sensors positioned at landing gear and wheel well areas of the aircraft are coupled for communication with the processing module. The proximity sensors provide the landing gear control system software with position data relating to the landing gear. The landing gear control software converts the data received from the landing gear lever and the data received from the proximity sensors to command signals to control electrically activated valves associated with landing gear components. The command signals may be sent simultaneously to remote power distribution units and remote data concentrator units to energize or de-energize solenoid coils of the electrically activated valves.
