On a walk-around inspection, what should be true of every landing gear?
Correct answer: It is fully raised and has no bends or other damage.
Answer options
- AIt is fully raised, though slight bends are acceptable.
- BIt is fully raised and has no bends or other damage. Correct
- CIt is lowered partway and has no bends or other damage.
Why
For travel, each landing gear must be cranked all the way up and must not be bent or damaged, so both conditions have to be confirmed. A gear left partly down or with bent parts is a defect to be fixed.
