But why can't we have, for the same price, the ability of the computer to control the landing gear extension and, more importantly, the gear retraction? The problem is electric supply, not hydraulic or mechanical. If the LGCIU is supplied, why not?
I'm not flying the 330, but I guess that in Emer Elec Config you may, or may not have the HYD Engine pumps running. In the latter case (ie. both engines out), if powered by RAT only, I doubt it would have enough power to move the L/G...
