I’d like to draw on the opinion of listers regarding LNC2 gear free fall problem.
The main gear is slow to free fall, and on the jacks (most likely in the air) the RMG won’t lock in.
Slight pressure on the wheel locks it in, which is handy if one wing walks upside down.
Disconnected the actuator strut and it drops like a beauty and snaps into position.
I doubt the actuator struts are the problem because both main gear have exhibited the same problem at the same time. The LMG does eventually lock down on the jacks.
One thing I’ve noticed is the NG is slower to lock down
under normal extension than it usually does. Until recently, it was always the first, and quick to lock down. Under free fall the gas strut dives the NG down and locks as it should quite quickly.
Wondered if anyone might have a trouble shooting sequence I can draw upon.
Thanks
