Yesterday I smacked my plane against the runway trying to land for the second time.
when I realized I landed not too far from the end of it I Maxed the throttles, retracted the flaps and took-off.
after some time I tried to retract the landing gear but the red lamp stayed on.
handle down ... handle up ... still red and beeping!
handle down ... Only One green!
hmmm ... something definitely stuck!
the hydraulic systems looks good!
bad landing? ... over speed landing gear operation?... maybe both !
Anyway I didn't know how to use the "LDG GEAR DOWN" or the " Downlock Solenoid Override Button"
So ... What Should I do next time ???
This one make me think I need to press the Downlock Solenoid Override Button until the gear extended with the assistance of gravity and aerodynamic forces.
"If however both hydraulic systems are inoperative, the landing gear locks can be released and gravity and aerodynamic forces will likely extend the landing gear"
