sounds like an oversight in your sim scenario to me.
Well, them's the procedures from Mr. Boeing. With loss of center hydraulics you do alternate gear extension with the gear handle off, then put the handle down when you get (hopefully) three green. And the tailskid does not extend, it is held up by PFM. You also hit the Reserve Brakes and Steering switch in my purely fictional Microsoft flight simulator version of the procedure which I downloaded from BitTorrent.
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
It may work different on the -400 (or the -200
).
How could you tell I wasn't really a pilot?
However,the gear does not rest on the doors in flight.
It has no uplocks, it is not pressurised in flight, what holds it up?
