Reflected Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 When I do a cold start, the nose wheel bay doors are down. However, when I shut down the plane, I cannot get them to be released. How do I do it? Thanks, Greg Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reflected Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 And then the nose wheel bay door will drop? Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAZBAM_ELMO Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I believe so. Nothing in the manual says it will but I'm sure in the -1 there would be more details. If it is indeed held up by the hydraulic pressure than if the pressure was released it would theoretically drop.

Reflected Posted January 6, 2017 Author Share Posted January 6, 2017 I tried and it doesn't happen. The gauge went down to 0 but the bay doors remained up. Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiddx Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 If you don't care about raising the gear again you can pull the emergency gear release handle and all the doors will open.

Hammer1-1 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Moving the controls around relieves the pressure, it doesnt drain all the fluids back into the hydraulics reservoir. Without looking at the hydraulic schematics, Id guess that the brakes have bleed valves or thermistors that will eventually bleed out when the aircraft settles or the oil cools. The pumps dont operate, but gravity still plays a role.

mkiii Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 The gear doors are opened by a groundcrew operated switch in the left main gear well according to the pilots notes. The flight controls are on a different hydraulic system to the "Utility" devices. As far as I can tell, the doors should be up when the gear is down. Collapsing the gear, with Emergency UP & MAY give them time to open before the gear folds & the nose hits the deck, but I don't think you want to do that ;) Pilots notes (For the E model) here : http://aviationshoppe.com/manuals/f-86_flight_manual/f-86.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
