Hi Guys & Jill, I lowered the landing gear for arrival, & got three green lights & one red light on the left main.  The barber poles on the right & front gear were up, but the left wing pole was only up about an inch.  I re-cycled the gear &  got the three green & full barber poles.  Pressure was good. 1st time this has happened to me.  I checked the left gear assembly today & did not find anything unusual.  All pivot points were well lubed. Doug & I rebuilt the cylinder's about 2 years ago. Any ideas?  Thanks.

Paul;



Have you swung the gear on the jacks?   Don't know what to suggest the 

problem is at this time but you appear to have very poorly adjusted micro 

switches for the gear lights.   This is NOT the basic problem,  the 

micro-switches control only the indicator lights - not the gear function. 

The problem is likely mechanical in nature or possibly an air system 

internal leakage/bypass situation.

Let me know what you find on the jacks.

You might had a momentary opening of the emergency shuttle valve that is on  the left gear actuator.  That valve may have been stuck open in the  emergency position, and the left gear "fell out" due to gravity when the up lock  released.  I would remove and clean that valve.  Replace the rubber  seal also.  If it is corroded inside, get a new one.
