Greg at Advanced in KTTD thought it might be the Gear down switch starting to go bad but due to the fact he couldn't replicate the issue we dont have the definitive answer yet. We are going to get a switch and keep it in stock and keep our eyes on it and just hope it doesn't happen again. I did not know that about the emergency gear latch Ill check that micro switch on latch and give it a clean thanks for the heads up. Mike

Hey everyone, Two nights ago i was inbound to KPDX and was on the ILS10 L when my gear didn't come down. After trying the gear switch a few times I ended up going missed and got vectored around while I tried to troubleshoot what was going on. After pulling the breakers and trying a few more times with the gear latch I ended up using the emergency extension and was able to get the gear down and flew the approach back in to KPDX and probably pulled off my best soft field landing i have ever done. Now the weird part, so I got it to my mechanic in KTTD and he has not been able to reproduce the gear issue. Dropping the gear in multiple configurations he has yet to have it fail once. Has anyone else experienced something like this ? I have a 2007 Acclaim fwiw. Thanks Mike

Cool thanks.

Awesome thanks for the information everyone. I am based in the Portland OR area but would be willing to fly to a shop with experience doing the STC so might give Don a call.

Hey everyone, Just recently purchased a 2007 Acclaim S and while it has been a blast to fly i would love to get the 310 STC to make the takeoff roll shorter. Does anyone know a shop that has done the STC and been able to properly upgrade the g1000's so i dont need to add the redundant tac. Thanks. Mike
