## Discrepancy

WHILE CONDUCTING A TRAINING EXERCISE, CREW SIMULATED AN ENGINE OUT WITH THE LANDING GEAR DOWN.  DURING COURSE OF THE SCENARIO, THE GEAR WAS RETRACTED.  THE CREW NOTED THE HYDRAULIC PUMP STAYED ON UNUSUALLY LONG.  THE GEAR WAS PUT BACK DOWN AND AIRCRAFT SOON AFTER LANDED.  UPON INSP, LT INBOARD GEAR DOOR EDGE WAS FOUND BENT UP.  SUBSEQUENT INSP FOUND THE OVERCENTER CONDITION OF THE GEAR DOOR RIGGING WAS NOT RIGGED PROPERLY AND THE YAW CONDITION DURING GEAR UP OPS CAUSED THE WHEEL TO CATCH THE DOOR.  ACFT GEAR DOOR RIGGING HAD JUST BEEN DONE AT RECENT INSPECTION.  (X)
