REFLECTOR:Incident/crash

[Alexander Balic]

Mike,
I was just going to post the same thing..... the dump should work perfectly,
and in mine, the nose gear is down and locked before the mains, plus the
airflow should help it also, so this is puzzling...... unless the nitrogen
spring was dead, and unable to push the linkage over center, so the gear was
down but not locked????????

Also make sure that your landing gear emergency hydraulic dump system works
properly.  It should be tested regularly and at annual condition inspection
time.  The dump system was designed to get the gear down in the event of a
power failure.  I wonder why it did not do what it was supposed to do!
