Posted: Sat Aug 19, 2017 8:00 pm Post subject: gear retraction problem

Hello

yesterday I've intended to make a fly and clean the plane in preparation for Saturday airshow . ...



I had a major problem with the gear: just after take off it was not possible to retract.....

Move up the gear handle  and only the left green light switch off, and no red light switch on. the 3 external red gear indicators stay out....

so i moved down the handle and i got the " greens.

the air pressure was enough at 25/30 Atm.

so i move up again the gear handle and nothing happens. 3 greens remains. So i put the handle on down position and land again without problem.



Guy on the ground reported that they saw the gear retraction non completed after take off . for them, the main gear only move for about 30° from vertical position before to come back at vertical position. Because of distance and position they were unable to give information for the nose gear position .



So what can be done . I can't fly any more with no gear retraction ...



please help 



best regards



Bruno

Good morning Bruno...

 Several years ago I had a very similar problem with my CJ6A, except I (apparently) had NO movement in my gear when I moved the handle up. 

 It turns out, the check valve for my emergency gear extension was corroded, and leaking "down air" from the emergency bottle/supply. This prevented my gear from coming up. 

 Installing a new check valve (from Doug Sapp) was not difficult, and the problem disappeared.   

Perhaps this will help?

Hi BrunoProbably you have a air leak somewhere in the system . Probably on gear handle valve.

Put the airplane on jacks and fill the system with 45 kg/cm2 from a exterior botlle of air.

Listen to air leaks first. If no leaks heard ..

Test gear. 

If  all the air in the system goes away and gear not moving completely up, the gear handle valve need to be fixed.

Cheers

Highly probable it is a bad check valve as previously described.

Hi Bruno;



As Dennis and others have already suggested your problem is very likely a 

check valve on the LH firewall that is leaking internally and allowing 

normal operating system air pressure to pressurize the emergency system 

which of course goes directly to Gear Down.



Not an unusual failure and, as Bob Schroeder noted,  could be an indicator 

of other moisture related problems as well.



See the attached schematic for location.



A good practice to avoid moisture related failure of course is to replace 

your water filter innards on a regular basis.  That periodicity will be 

dependent to a large degree on relative humidity in your operating area. 

Also a very good practice to check your brake system moisture trap (snot 

valve) on a regular basis, preferably after every flight.  If you find 

moisture here your water filter servicing period is not adequate.

Hi , 

thank you for your advices.

we raise the plane and tested the gear retraction. 

it was ok with the remaining air at 25 atm, we tested up and down 4 times till the air remains at about 10 atm.

it works well that is strange.....

i ve noticed an air leak inside the main corp of the front gear handle when gear up position,  

perhaps the front gear handle to replace ? 

what do you think about that Doug?

Best regards

Bruno

3 questions. 

- did you do and emergency gear extension test?  From your description of how you accomplished the gear retraction test, you did not mention you tested the emergency gear extension. 

- did you try retracting and extending the gear from the rear cockpit?

- if you did attempt to retract and extend the gear from the rear cockpit, did you listen for for the same air leak you heard coming from the front cockpit?

What do I think???  I think you seem to be a person willing to take risks which are way out of proportion to the reward.  However that being said, it would appear that you are in need of replacing your QSF-2A valve---OR---- you have a gear actuator leaking and that air is venting out of your front gear valve.  Dennis asks good questions, answers will help sort this all out.

Hello again, 



so I've made a flight this evening and the same problem appears again: after take off the gear do not retract.., visualy from outside, the main gear moved about 30° from vertical position. Gear handle was positionned down , 3 greens and land safely .

yesterday evening when acft was raised, I've done 4 test up/down and its look like good. pressure at the beginning was 25 and at the 4th 12 remaining .`

I do not test the emergency extension.

its is not possible to move the rear gear handle as the UK CAA blocked it as also for the Flaps rear handle.. (Im under UK registration)

this morning i refiled the air bottle at 45atm before this evening start up, i took off with 35 and landed also with about 35 atm 

the QS2 valve isn't for the brake repartition?

thanks for help 

Bruno

Bruno,The correct p/n is QSF-2A of which there are three in your aircraft, both flap valves and the fwd gear valve.

You are correct the QS2 is the brake differential valve in the belly.

Bruno-



Recommend you pull and check all 8 diverter valves (2 per gear and two for flap control) and rebuild or replace as necessary.   Most likely your issue.

Sounds like the same issue I had... turned out to be main gear actuators.  Doug Sapp rebuilt them and no problems since.  JB

Hi again Bruno. As I anticipated you have a leak in the gear handle valve. Dismount and replace the O Ring inside. Simple as that.

 Hi ,

 thank you for your advices.

 we raise the plane and tested the gear retraction.

 it was ok with the remaining air at 25 atm, we tested up and down 4 times till the air remains at about 10 atm.

 it works well that is strange.....

 i ve noticed an air leak inside the main corp of the front gear handle when gear up position,

 perhaps the front gear handle to replace ?

 what do you think about that Doug?

 Best regards

 Bruno

Pedro,

I'm assuming you've disassembled a gear/flap selector valve beforesince 

you said to replace the O-ring?



If Bruno hasn't tested the system the way I suggested, he may be just 

spinning his wheels.  ie: did he do a gear retraction test with the rear 

gear selector (with the front in neutral of course) and was there air 

leaking from the rear gear selectorwhen he did this test?  If yes, the 

problem is not the front gear selector.

Hi,



The same for me on my YAK 52 in France few weeks ago.  Bruno DUCREUX fixed it the same way.

 Bruno, The correct p/n is QSF-2A of which there are three in your aircraft, both flap valves and the fwd gear valve.

 



 You are correct the QS2 is the brake differential valve in the belly.

Hello again,



so I've made a flight this evening and the same problem appears again: after take off the gear do not retract.., visualy from outside, the main gear moved about 30° from vertical position. Gear handle was positionned down , 3 greens and land safely .

yesterday evening when acft was raised, I've done 4 test up/down and its look like good. pressure at the beginning was 25 and at the 4th 12 remaining .`

I do not test the emergency extension.

its is not possible to move the rear gear handle as the UK CAA blocked it as also for the Flaps rear handle.. (Im under UK registration)

this morning i refiled the air bottle at 45atm before this evening start up, i took off with 35 and landed also with about 35 atm

the QS2 valve isn't for the brake repartition?

thanks for help

Bruno

Bruno



I have the sister of your aircraft and of course served together in the PLA and also have the restricted rear gear and flap function as its a mandatory modification required by the UK CAA.



I would remove the rear cockpit gear restrictor plate and do the test Dennis has given as the will test both gear handle valves. It's good practice to excercise the rear cockpit one periodically, refit handle restrictor plate after tests.



Doug sells kits to rebuild the diverter valves and I did all mine when we brought the a/c onto the UK register. There was corrosion in about three of them so they were replaced and upgraded.



Good luck
