THE GEAR WON'T COME DOWN
1. NOSE GEAR is a simple system.
Put the handle in the down position;
the nose gear comes down
IF NOT,
slow to 120 knots
YOU ARE FINISHED WITH YOUR WORK
if the nose gear is not down,
desperation might get you to try
100-110 knots
BUT THAT'S IT
YOU ARE TOTALLY DONE WITH THE NOSE GEAR
accept whatever result you have and do not waste anymore time with
the
nose gear.
A. when everything is working, the nose gear goes up and down with hydraulic pressure
B. when nothing hydraulic is working the $60.00 piston will push the nose gear down
AND
the pump handle ONLY puts down pressure to the main gear. THAT"S IT
ACCEPT THIS PORTION OF YOUR PROBLEM AND MOVE ON
note
i put this out there so some other pilot will not crash while trying to solve a problem
that is either over or unsolvable
