TRAVERSE CITY, MI, USA
N30606
CESSNA 210L
THE PLT REPORTED THAT WHEN THE LANDING GEAR HANDLE WAS MOVED TO THE UP POSITION, THE HYDRAULIC PUMP CONTINUED TO OPERATE. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE CIRCUIT BREAKER FOR THE PUMP WAS PULLED TO KEEP THE MOTOR FROM OVERHEATING. SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO LOWER THE GEAR WITH THE NORMAL & EMERGENCY SYSTEMS WERE INEFFECTIVE, SO A GEAR UP LANDING WAS MADE ON A GRASS PORTION OF THE ARPT. AN EXAM OF THE LANDING GEAR SYSTEM REVEALED THAT THE SELECTOR VALVE IN THE SOLENOID, PN 210-61039, WAS STUCK. THIS PREVENTED MOVEMENT OF THE GEAR IN EITHER DIRECTION.
