Manual Gear Extension

by John - August 22nd, 2008

This video shows the landing gear motor and worm gear in the cockpit floor. It is just forward of the two seats in the middle. I have removed the quick release panel to show how to disconnect the push pull cables from the worm gear. This is part of the procedure for a manual gear extension. You will notice that once free, the gear swings down and locks very quickly. This is not the case in flight due to the wind load on the gear. And I apologize again for the poor color quality. That handle is red not blue!
