You might had a momentary opening of the emergency shuttle valve that is on
the left gear actuator. That valve may have been stuck open in the
emergency position, and the left gear "fell out" due to gravity when the up lock
released. I would remove and clean that valve. Replace the rubber seal
also. If it is corroded inside, get a new one.

Hi Guys & Jill, I lowered the landing gear for arrival, & got three green
lights & one red light on the left main. The barber poles on the right &
front gear were up, but the left wing pole was only up about an inch. I
re-cycled the gear & got the three green & full barber poles. Pressure was
good. 1st time this has happened to me. I checked the left gear assembly
today & did not find anything unusual. All pivot points were well lubed.
Doug & I rebuilt the cylinder's about 2 years ago. Any ideas? Thanks.
