Forgive me for asking a couple of stupid questions but:
If the gear isn't coming up, will there be any problems for it to come down? Is that possibly a reason for returning?
And also, I don't know what your operations look like, but do you typically have maintenance available on the outstations that you fly to and from?
In my line of work, we usually do not and that is a big factor in the return or continue decision. That is, will you be grounding the plane in a place where it can't be mended?
