Gday I-2021,
You are quite correct.
My point however was that to do a "normal" Man gear ext in the 300 the gear lever needs to be in the off posn to allow the gear to fall out. If it is jammed in the UP posn the system pressure must be bled off as Alex described, not so in the NG as opening the Man Gear Ext door does it for you.
Kit d',
Couldn't agree more. Its a waste of $1000 an hour in my view.
Cheers,
Con
