Good grief.Thank you both. Yes my mechanic is the type to put in a new part, that’s who I have right now to sign off on my annual. My landing gear goes up and down no problem so not sure why he’s asking about it. He said it’s slow to come up.
Rumored to be a Ford heater fan motorHYC50xx series procurement in 2024? lol get ready to grab your ankles. Ah the joys of captive audience, don't miss that ish one bit.
It's a merc marine trim pump. It's highway robbery in the bUh aViAtIOn application.
Don't have access to an IPC at the moment to verify the above P/N, however I think HCY5005 is correct. Another option is to have that one OH'd if that in fact is the problem. Could also be one of several other items to include worn brushes which have a recommended 500hr inspection cycle.Please let me know if you know the part number,
Unfortunately, this is becoming more the norm: parts cannon vs troubleshoot. But I would at find out why he thinks it is the motor assembly. Half the reason mechanics are simply replacing parts is the owners allow them to or in some cases want them to. However there is another option as shown below but it is a major alteration and will require more work for your mechanic. I also think there have been a couple other PoA threads on this specific topic which may have more info?Yes my mechanic is the type to put in a new part,
Or simply use this setup and install it legal as an alteration?A job for a hangar elf or AC23-27 and perhaps even 14 CFR 21.9
The thing is I know the motor is working, I have no issues with it. Only issue was a up/down switch which I ordered a replacement. My mechanic is saying the gear is slow to retract. But he took the motor out hopefully he can do something so I’m not buying a new one for $3700.@mandm
The issue Bell206 highlights was my issue from a couple years ago. Worn brushes. Got the motor removed, sent out for repair at a local shop and replaced. Has worked great ever since.
But the work was not cheap as a heads up.
