This video showed more than just the gear swing. When the plane was jacked up, you could see just how the CG affected the plane. For that matter, how to jack up the plane was good to know! I was always curious how the main gear drops then twists as it comes up. I flew Cardinal RGs for a while and i'm about to get checked out on a 182RG. Thanks for the video!
@skywagonuniversity50232 жыл бұрын
You have to jack until the mains are up and the nose is very very light on the ground. Then put the tail stand under it. The gear will knock it off the jacks if you power them up and the hit the ground mid swing. Just release them so they swing free and check the ground clearance before a powered swing right up and down.

by the time the 172/177/182 RG ( read models came to be Cessna had pretty much sorted the the gear....my old M model 210 (gear door stc ) with the hydraulic pump vs my N model (electric pump) was more maintenance intensive but if kept maintained was reliable as any other

In some models the down lock indication is a single green light. microswitch wiring is series. So if the three are not adjusted exactly, one could get a good/green with a gear not locked. To test correct ops. do three extension checks and in each, apply some load to a different wheel to make the other two 'lock' before the restrained wheel. Ensure that you do not get a green down and locked indication until the last wheel is down/locked. In the serial electrical connection with one green light. any one of the microswitches can show a change condition - up or down locked with the other two misadjusted/failed/shorted.

I would like to get one but compared to non retractable the Insurance rates are very high. Is that due to maintenance costs or forgetful pilots failing to extend gear before landing. And has that premium always been so high or more recent trend?
@skywagonuniversity50233 жыл бұрын
The higher insurance is because of the higher risk of a gear-up. It has become moreso lately.
@fridge751511 ай бұрын
That was cool to see. Is it common for the front gear to collapse on these? Would love the speed advantage but wondering if the speed is worth the cost in annual, maintenance and insurance?
@skywagonuniversity502311 ай бұрын
The nosewheel collapsing really isn't common but it can happen just because it is possible, but it is not a weak link in the design.
