I just got my Arrow back from annual and test flew it yesterday. I went to a nearby airport and did three landings, everything was normal. I came back to my home airport and tried to put the gear down, I just heard the pump running but no gear lights. I waited more than enough time for a normal gear extension and then put the switch back up. On the fourth attempt, after waiting a good 10-15 seconds, I finally got three greens. After taxiing back to my hangar I thought I detected a faint burning electrical smell. I do know that the mechanic cleaned the landing gear since it was pretty dirty. I’m meeting with him today to discuss.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Alan
