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!
