Landing Gear Sometimes Does Not Extend

Featured Replies

I've had several instances where the landing gear will not extend after flying for a couple of hours.  I've tried the "G" button on the keyboard as well as clicking my mouse over the gear lever.  Nothing!!  Not sure if there is somethinig I'm not setting properly during approach or if it is a bug.

 

Anyone else have this issue?

 

Thanks!

Could you be going to fast?

Thanks for the reply.  My airspeed is always below 250 KIAS (VLO), so I don't think it's the airspeed.

Try slow flying with flaps down. Do you get a "Gear Up" audible warning when you reduce thrust? When it doesn't 't come down as expected, try cycling the gear handle.
