dazza 38 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Unfortunate, but I guess it is great news that the Prop is Not damaged and the engine will not require a bulk strip as the prop didn't hit the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnarly Gnu Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Good job! Would it be best to cut the engine in this situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maj Millard Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Gear not locked down...thats because the gear is nowhere close to being fully down. Most likely cause being a mal-adjusted or faulty system, or more commonly the operator allowing the fluid in the Hydrylic system reservoir to deplete. Occasionally you do have a gear motor fail. Also on the Cessna system if you get an electrical wiring fault the system just stays where it is at time of failure. Then you have the manual hydrylic pump lever which manually pumps it down ...if there's fluid in the system !.... Many pilots when asked, don't even know where the reservoir is in the retract Cessnas. It's behind the central pedestal by the way, and does require a quantity check occasionally !.....probabily not too much damage done on that one, however the main landing-gear leg upper castings will probabily be scrap ..................................................Maj...
