Jay ,
if your landing gear does not retract after take-off , as you are
unable to know the reason ,check the C/B, try to do another manoeuver
and if it is unsuccessfull ,LAND . Do not try anything else as you
must find the cause of the problem . Put your plane on jacks and then
investigate ,as your plane on jacks is in a SAFE position for that .If
there is a mecanical reason for your gear to not retract , and you
insist to retract it , may be you can ,after several attempts , retract
it but be unable to lower it . So , don't tempt the devil , LAND then
check .

Upon
departure today in my Legacy, the
landing gear failed to retract. We landed and of course everything
worked fine
once we jacked the plane and tried it on the ground. However, I noticed
that
the inner gear door would chatter upon retraction and not extension.
After disconnecting the cylinder from the gear door, the chatter was
evident in
the now disconnected hydraulic actuator.
Two
questions:
- Anyone have this occur
and does it mean I need to replace the cylinder?
- I was told that the gear
did not retract due to some kind of hydraulic lock and simply cracking
open the dump valve and then closing it would have then allowed the
gear to retract. Has this happened to everyone with Legacy RGs and is
there a fix for this? I don’t really understand what exactly the
problem is that is causing it
Thanks all.
