Other
Things
to
Know
• The
gear
is
held
up
with
hydraulic
pressure.
If
in
cruise
you
hear/feel
the
hydraulic
pump
come
on,
this
is
usually
an
indica8on
there
is
a
small
leak
in
hydraulic
system
which
lets
the
hydraulic
pressure
drop.
The
pressure
switch
will
automa8cally
turn
the
pump
on
to
bring
hydraulic
pressure
back
to
the
specified
amount.
• Contact
maintenance
ader
flight
to
troubleshoot
the
system
if
you
hear/feel
the
hydraulic
pump
come
on
during
cruise.
