I am working with a local AI on my condition inspection. He has no CJ experience and I'm looking for the proper method to test the gear. The CJ maintenance manual and the Condition Inspection checklist from RPA (Craig Payne) are different. I seem to recall the guy who did my annuals "bleed" the gear up and down slowly. I'm not sure if this is a correct method to test the emergency side.



If any one has a good procedure they would share please drop me a line.



I do have a set of 4 CJ jacks



Thank you,



Keith McKinley

Keith, as remember per Dennis's method, after testing the main side place then. Place the gear handle in the neutral position. squeeze the brake leaver until the system is depleted. Lower the gear handle and activate the emergency side. 

Correct me if I'm wrong Dennis.

Below was on the Yak List posted in 2007 and is pretty much the way it looks in the CJ maint manual.

Just had heard about the airplane getting a little jumpy on the jacks....

		  1) MAIN AIR- OPEN 

2) SELECT GEAR- UP 

3) VERIFY GEAR UP- CHECK UPLOCKS ETC 

4) MAIN AIR - CLOSE 

5) EMERGENCY AIR- OPEN QUICKLY 

6) VERIFY GEAR UNLOCKS FROM THE UP POSITION 

The gear should be caught in between the up and down positions. 

This is a good time to look over the gear swing action by hand. 

7) SELECT GEAR- NEUTRAL 

 VERIFY GEAR DOWN AND LOCKED 

9) EMERGENCY AIR- CLOSE 

10) SELECT GEAR- DOWN 

11) BLEED OFF SYSTEM PRESSURE FOR 2 MINUTES 

I usually actuate the parking brake and alternate left and right rudder 

until the "fart" valve releases. 

It's important to wait a good minute after the valve releases to ensure 

the emergency system is purged before engaging the main air system. 

If there's any residual pressure in the emergency side the shuttle 

valves on the gear may not switch over completely to the main system. 

12) MAIN AIR- OPEN 

13) SELECT GEAR- UP 

14) VERIFY GEAR UP 

15) SELECT GEAR- DOWN 

16) VERIFY GEAR DOWN AND LOCKED 



With best regards to all, 

Cliff
