Hank is an unknown quantity at this point
The level was checked and a little low. After filling with fluid the gear did the same thing on the up cycle - the gear would go up, light comes on, doors close but before the handle would go back to neutral the light goes out and the doors open. However on the next flight the gear operated normally. Tom Carr at CPA suggested a broken wire in the uplock circuit. So today the plane goes on jacks and the wires in the uplock circuit are flexed to see if any cause the light to go out and the uplock switches are tested. He said any break or loss of contact in that circuit would case the doors to open.
