What happens when using the emergency system to extend the gear?

• A. The gear position indicator panel will show two green and three red lights
• B. The gear position indicator panel will show three red lights
• C. The main gear inboard doors will remain open
• D. The main gear inboard doors will remain closed

Answer: (C)

When you use the emergency system to extend the gear, you’re bypassing the normal hydraulic door actuators and relying on a mechanical/manual path to deploy the gear. The main gear doors are not powered to close in this mode, so the inboard doors stay in the position they reach during extension. In practice, they remain open to ensure there’s no interference with the gear as it extends and locks. Because the emergency system doesn’t actuate the door closures, the inner doors do not automatically close, even though the gear itself may be down and locked.
