Hi guys. This may sound funny, but i'm having a little trouble with my johnson bar when retracting the gear. I'm having trouble getting it to go into the lower socket, it's not easy. Can this be an indication of the gear being out of adjustment or something else. I do try to twist the handle while stowing in the socket, but I don't think it should be the difficult. Thanks for the help Ron -
Folks, a question for you. In recent days, we have had multiple cases where the landing gear of my M20C extended uncommanded, after the Johnson Bar escaped the uplock. This is not very funny when it happens, two cases were below 120mph and one at 140 mph. First of all, is there any maintenance action necessary if the gear has extended above 120mph? We did a visual inspection after landing and everything seemed ok. 2ndly: What can cause this? We never had this in 7 years of ownership and now 3 times in a row. The last time I was PIC and I did retract the gear again and it held, so maybe it was not completely in. Are there still sources to get a better uplock? Maybe ours is too worn? I always thought of the manual gear as being an assett, but right now I have my doubts.
