Hi All,
Can I just check something with you all. This is for a Model 500B specifically, but I assume the scenario covers other Models.
After landing, with indication that all three gears are down-and-locked, the right-hand gear retracts.
It seems fairly 'common' that this is usually because the PiC has selected the gear-up switch instead of the flaps-up switch.
If so, is it the right-hand gear that actuates first?
Presumably, if the PiC realises his error in time, he can prevent the left-hand gear actuating?
Best Regards,
Barry

I have seen two times where it was the left main gear which had collapsed.
One was a failure of the retract cylinder clevis in the top of the strut
housing. And the other never did have a reasonable explaination.
