CAUTION
If all three of the green GEAR DOWN lights
do not illuminate, continue pumping until
sufficient resistance is felt to ensure the
gear is down and locked. DO NOT STOW
THE MANUAL EXTENSION LEVER, LEAVE
IT IN THE UP POSITION.
4. Manual extension lever Unstow. Pump
until the three green GEAR DOWN lights
are illuminated and resistance is felt.
5. Manual extension lever If three green
GEAR DOWN lights are illuminated, stow
the lever.
CAUTION
After a manual landing gear extension has
been made due to a malfunction of the
system, do not move any landing gear
controls or reset any switches or circuit
breakers until the cause of the malfunction
has been corrected. The malfunction may
be in the gear up circuit and the gear might
retract on the ground.
c. Gear-up Landing (All Gear Up). Due to
decreased drag with the gear up, there may be a
tendency to overshoot the desired landing point. The
center of gravity will be aft of the main wheels,
allowing the aircraft to be landed with a minimum
amount of structural damage to the aircraft provided
the wings are kept level. It is recommended the fuel
load be reduced and the landing made with the flaps
fully extended. A hard surface runway should be
utilized for the landing whenever possible. Landing on
soft ground is not recommended, as sod has a
tendency to roll up into chunks and damage the
underside of the aircraft structure. When fuel load has
been reduced, prepare for a gear up landing as
follows:
1. Fuel load Reduce.
2. Personnel
