Upper Pip Pin of doors of Main LDGs are secured with safety chains normally but pip pins should be checked by C /chief in every schedule inspection for serviceability ie two balls,with passage of time ball spring loaded are be come U/S one or both. you cannot insert the pip pin during flight /landing/takeoff. It seem to be negligence of crew crew chief Best Regards Munir Abbasi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nascarpop Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Pins should always go in from front of aircraft to back of aircraft. Harder to come out that way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the chain is connected to a ring on the button, it can release the pin if the chain is pulled on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
