Hey Gang-
Just trying to get info to everyone…in cruise i heard a loud bang followed by a unsafe gear light in our TArrow IV. Slowed airplane down & put gear handle Down. Only got 2 green. Did emergency checklists, emergency gear extension & still got the same results. Called plane partner to come up to AP. We went through POH & Maintenance Manual to try to come up with a solution. Had full fuel so no rush. Contacted A&P to see if he could think of anything. I yawed your try to shake it down, did all we could think of. 3 low passes to get 2nd opinions, etc. Called CFR and waited until they got in place and set up for the approach. It was severe clear so no weather issues except for a little gust. After 3+ hours touched down, pulled mixture & gear stayed down:) attached are pictures & SB reference. Have your A&P’s check on next annual or 100hr, we got lucky…
