## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING AN INSPECTION THE EMERGENCY GEAR EXTENSION LINK WAS DISCOVERED CRACKED. THE ONLY INSPECTION METHOD WAS TO REMOVE THE PILOT'S FLOORBOARD. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS DEFICIENCY IS THAT THE MECHANICAL PUMP WILL WORK AS A SINGLE ACTION PUMP INSTEAD OF DOUBLE ACTING, THUS LOWERING THE GEAR IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION SLOWLY. THE GEAR WOULD TAKE TWICE AS LONG TO EXTEND. THE PART WAS REPLACED.
