Three green not illuminating when raising the Landing gear in an Arrow
I should hope not -

But agree about retracts - in fact most of my incidents have been around landing gears on Arrows:

Latest was that the 3 greens DID stay illuminated when I raised them after t/o. Flew around a bit trying the override etc, then abandoned the flight - traced to faulty squat switch

Previous - I was taxing at a land away on a check out, when one green went out. Checked it wasn't the bulb, shut down, checked the gear was locked - then agreed to fly back (15 min) to base leaving u/c down - again faulty wiring.

Haven't had anything more serious yet (250hrs), so I'm on the look out.
