g. Landing With One Main Gear Unsafe. If
one main landing gear fails to extend, retract the other
gear and make a gear up landing. If all efforts to
retract the extended gear fail, land the aircraft on a
hard runway surface, touching down on the same
edge of the runway as the extended gear. Roll on the
down and locked gear, holding the opposite wing up
and the nose gear straight as long as possible. If the
gear has extended, but is unsafe, apply brakes lightly
on the unsafe side to assist in locking the gear. If the
gear has not extended or does not lock, allow the wing
to lower slowly to the runway. Use the following
procedures:
