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.
