LANDING HEAR The hydraulically operated landing gear is controlled by a selector handle on the left side of the cockpit. The selector handle has three positions: UP, NEUTRAL, DOWN. To prevent accidental movement of the selector handle while the airplane is on the ground, there is a small locking pin on top of the handle. You don't have to release the pin to move the handle DOWN, but you must push it forward before you can move the handle to the UP position. The lock re-engages when you place the selector handle in NEUTRAL.   TO RETRACT THE LANDING GEAR   1. Apply pressure to brake the wheels.           2. Move the locking pin on the selector handle forward and place the selector handle in the UP position.
