Iv'e got the AC114 on my licence - but not current...

Plumbing the cobwebs in the mind's filing cabinet to remember the emergency gear procedure.. is it a gravity or wind down system...??

Not that it'll help when the gear doors stick..

Aside - I saw a C210 (old one, before the gear door mod) wheels up on a surfaced runway before. Abolutely excellent job by the PIC, with his family on board - he kept directional control right to the stop, virtually on the centreline, and they all walked out under the wings..
