at the same time to check for open dimming shutters. A burned-out bulb
can be replaced in flight by using the bulb from the remaining gear
position indicator light.
RETRACTION MALFUNCTIONS
If
the landing gear fails to retract normally or an intermittent GEAR
UP indicator light is present, check the indicator light for proper operation
and attempt to recycle the landing gear. Place the landing gear lever in the
GEAR DOWN position. When the GEAR DOWN light illuminates, reposi-
tion the gear lever in the GEAR UP position for another retraction attempt.
If
the GEAR UP light still fails to illuminate, the flight may be continued to
an airport having maintenance facilities, if practical.
If
gear motor
operation is audible after a period of one minute following gear lever
retraction actuation, pull the GEAR PUMP circuit breaker switch to
prevent the electric motor from overheating. In this event, remember to re-
engage the circuit breaker switch just prior to landing. Intermittent gear
motor operation may also be detected by momentary fluctuations of the
ammeter needle.
EXTENSION MALFUNCTIONS
Normal landing gear extension time is approximately 11 seconds.
If
the landing gear will not extend normally, perform the general checks.of
circuit breakers and master switch and repeat the normal extension
procedures at a reduced airspeed of 100 KIAS. The landing gear lever must
be in the down position with the detent engaged.
If
efforts to extend and lock
the gear through the normal landing gear system
fail,
the gear can be
- ,
manually extended (as long as hydraulic system fluid has not been
completely lost) by use of the emergency hand pump. The hand pump is
located between the front seats.
A checklist is provided for step-by-step instructions for a manual gear
extension.
If gear motor operation is audible after a period of one minute
~
following gear lever extension actuation, pull the GEAR PUMP circuit
breaker to prevent the electric motor from overheating. In this event,
remember to re-engage the circuit breaker just prior to landing.
GEAR UP LANDING
If
the landing gear remains retracted or is only partially extended, and
all efforts to fully extend it (including manual extension) have failed, plan
a wheels up landing. In preparation for landing, reposition the landing
gear lever to GEAR UP and push the LDG GEAR and GEAR PUMP circuit
breakers in to allow the landing gear to swing into the gear wells at
touchdown. Then proceed in accordance with the checklist.
