    Landing Gear procedure

    Not an ICON SeaRey!

    Make sure you keep your finger on the landing gear light until you get what you’re looking for! Happen to me in flight. The nose gear fuse blew.

    Fortunately it did. Quick swap of 7.5 amp fuse and I was back in business. Why I train my students that the landing gear handle is your “Nemesis.” ALWAYS hold finger there until you get exactly what you expect or it could get ya!

    I’ve got annual coming up and it will be looked into. 2nd time it’s happened too. First was in water, below 10kts, preparing for controllability check before ramping. This time I was inside white arc and was lowing gear in flight for photos.

    I’d be interested to know. I believe it’s a bit of a known issue as well. Has your nose landing gear received all the updates?

    Yep, I’ve followed all the inspections. Very weird.
