| Subject: | Re: Very odd gear behavior |
Fast question... what's the emergency air bottle gauge reading? Getting any
lower, or fluctuating?
Why I ask: years ago I had a similar issue where a check valve on Emer Air
side had corroded, letting emergency "down" air
bleed into the system to oppose the "up" from the normal side. LG wouldn't
budge going up.
Replaced the faulty check valve and all was fine afterwards.
Regardless, I'm sure it's a straightforward snag to fix, just got to find
the gremlin...

Hi guys,
The emergency system was not activated. Both cockpit gauges show Emergency Air
at 55 atmospheres, and they never go down, even after weeks of sitting
Thanks for all of the help! It is much appreciated!
