kwill Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Have landing gear problem with right main landing gear binding. We change the ball screw, jack screw, adjusted the shoes. Only thing we did not change is the track. Is there anything else that we might of miss before we change the track. The aircraft is in depot maintenance.

Dave in WV Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Remove the nut/cap at the bottom of the jack screw where the friction washer is and check for debris. We had a bird have trouble getting the gear down once because of a piece of tape that was inadvertently left on the wash rack and jammed the friction washer. The crew had to raise the gear manually a little to free it and then crank it down until it got stiff again and then raise it to free it until the gear was down and locked. It happened at Red Flag back in the 80's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
