    Vacation and gear issues

    The mains are pure gravity. They’re so heavy they always just lock. The nose gear coming down is fighting drag (airspeed) as well as prop wash and has to overcome that collective force to lock. It will come down but won’t lock if the drag force exceeds gravity and spring assist. Removing the...

    Vacation and gear issues

    Commander CFIs

    See my logbook entry with the CFI for checkout - 8.25.2000. 7 Take-offs and landings - using 36" MAP. using up runway. Look at the single logbook entry the following day 8.26.2000- which restored my faith in the airplane. All i needed was 1 take-off using 40-42 inches of MAP to know how the...
