If it's extended the switch is closed and the pump will run. Those oleos can be a little sticky, and the R182's gear is a little more forward so the load on the nosegear is low, and the leg might be extended all the way during a normal rollout. Grabing the the gear lever instead of the flaps right after landing is a common mistake, and the pump sucks the nosegear up. Mains too, on low-wing airplanes. Expensive oops. That's why we have a rule here that the flaps are left alone until the airplane is stopped. Dan |
