With ALTN selected and gear lever up, then restoration of hydraulics would cause the gear to go up; doors would be powered to open. System would be in its normal mechanical state therefore when the gear uplock operates to the lock position then the gear doors will close. The ALTN circuit is latched until the switch is positioned to normal (off).
Thanks, MrPeabody.

Would the ALTN circuit be latched and ineffective (until cycled off/on)? In this condition, with the gear up, switch still selected and then the gear lever put to OFF (normal flight position) would the gear and doors stay up?

Lube cover? I'm picturing all kinds of things in the right wing gear wheel well (pack plumbing, L autopilot actuator, Left CLCP, spoiler differential, aileron programmer, fuel pumps, cargo heat plumbing, etc).

Thanks.
