Just getting back to nuts and bolts----
The Saab 340 has an electric motor that runs a Hyd pump. Just one. And there is a scenerio where the wheels are held retracted no matter what you do. The only aircraft I know of that does this btw. The abnormal checklist for hydraulics runs for about 5 pages and is a nightmare.
So well done crew!
Now if this happened and the diversion to Coffs happened shouldn't we be looking at the Saab??? and its age???
