[simpits-tech] FW: B737 Landing Gear Lever

[Kevin Foisy]

Makes perfect sense.  Any idea on how the lever travels?  Is there detents for the 3 positions?  Is the lever locked in each position?

Thanks!

Hi Kevin....
 
On any commercial jets there is an off position, otherwise there would
be pressure on the gear at all time even when it is up and locked - it
is to minimize wear and tear. so the "after take off checklist" will
tell you to put the lever to off, hence depressurises the hydraulics....

Also, anyone know why there's an "off" position???  Seems to me there
could only be two states...
