Hi everyone!
Recently had an interesting problem on a A320 in our fleet.
One of the MLG doors was opened on ground for inspection purpose.However, when the engineer tried to close the door on completion,the ground door opening/closing handle felt extremely hard and would not move at all even though green hydraulic system was pressurised.The engineer did not report any abnormality at the time of opening the door.
Further troubleshooting revealed damage to the bypass valve.
Any ideas as to what might have caused this issue?
Cheers!!
