Main gear door issue

[billsheila]

Herb I cant tell or rather don't know at this time. I only have a mirror on one side and cannot see the rear big doors with it in any event. With pressure building and the handle returning, my guess would be that it is initially closing. But if the pressure that holds it up is then relaxing somehow, which I guess could be happening, I wonder why the other door(s) would not also fall open? I presume that there is only one main hydraulic line that operates the doors (out of the powerpack) that at some point branches off for the various door actuators.

This airplane is getting frustrating this annual...one issue cropping up after the next! I better get to the bottom of things soon...the fly in will soon be upon us! Thanks. Bill

You need to see what is happening or swing the gear on jacks where you can determine the scenario. I was thinking that there is a separate actuator for each main door...........I will need to look at the print but that was part of the advantage of removing the main doors to eliminate two actuators.
