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.

Paul Lewis

again. Thanks.
