Part: CONTROL VALVE — MALFUNCTIONED (HYD SYSTEM) · airframe 9,367 hrs
PILOT SELECTED GEAR DOWN WITH THE GEAR HANDLE, BUT THE GEAR DID NOT COME DOWN, AND AFTER 15 SECONDS OR SO, THE 2 AMP GEAR CONTROL BREAKER TRIPPED. A SUCCESSFUL GEAR EXTENSION WAS PERFORMED USING THE MANUAL HAND PUMP SYSTEM. JACKED AIRCRAFT AND SUCCESSFULLY RETRACTED THE GEAR, BUT GEAR WOULD NOT EXTEND WHEN SELECTED, BUT THE HYDRAULIC POWER-PACK WOULD RUN, BUT WOULD NOT BUILD PRESSURE TO EXTEND THE GEAR. PROBLEM WAS TROUBLESHOT TO BE A FAULTY GEAR CONTROL SOLENOID, WHICH IS ATTACHED TO THE SIDE OF THE POWER-PACK. ECONOMICS DICTATED REPLACING THE ENTIRE HYDRAULIC POWER-PACK. SUCCESSFUL GEAR OPERATION WAS OBSERVED AFTER REPLACEMENT.
Part: SKIN — DEBONDED (LT WING LE) · airframe 3,755 hrs
LEFT IB LEADING EDGE WING PANEL WAS REMOVED TO REPLACE THE DE-ICE BOOT AND IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT SUBSTANTIAL DEBONDING OF THE LOWER HALF OF THIS PANEL HAD OCCURRED. THERE WAS NO APPARENT DAMAGE TO THE OUTSIDE SKIN THAT WOULD EXPLAIN THIS AND ITS UNLIKELY THAT THE LINE PERSONNEL FUELING THE AUX TANK CAUSED THIS DUE TO THE DEBONDING ISOLATED TO THE LOWER SKIN. TECH SUPPORT REQUIRES REPLACING THIS SKIN WITH A NEW UNIT.
