I can see absolutely no reason for checking NORMAL gear retraction and extension. It gets checked, fully, every time the aircraft flies. I assume the A380, like all other aircraft with retractable landing gear, has an emergency extension. This is all that needs checking as it is never used in normal operations.
Depends on what they have been working on. They might have replaced all the landing gear on that maintenance visit, which would require a full swing using both the normal and emergency systems.

*can we all just take a moment to thank the men and women who made the jack stands and jacks to hold up this A380 so that the crew can be assured that the thing won't fall suddenly and possibly kill them.*
Someone who has the information, can you explain why all aircraft have the main doors that open and then close once the gear is out? I have seen emergency landings where the doors are all open, so if the plan is capable of landing with them out, why do they even need to go back up? I always thought that the big doors were too big for the ground and that was why they went back up after extension. Thanks in advance for the reply.
It's also because when the plane is landed, under him there is a lot of ground operation in act, so if the ground Clarence of the aircraft is not so hight they must leave enough space to move around for vehicles and operators.

For aerodynamic purposes, the doors create a lot of drag when they are hanging out, and increased drag increases fuel consumption. The reason for the door is to keep the belly of the plane smooth when the landing gear is extended, so if they don't go back up then there is no reason for them to be there in the first place. When you see emergency landings with the doors out, that means that the pilots couldn't extend the gear normally and had to extend the gear by gravity. The process of extending the gear through gravity also removes hydraulic fluid from the landing gear and the doors, so once you do the procedure you cannot retract the gear or the doors, and thus they are left hanging out.
First retraction: 2:00. First extension: 3:00. Second retraction: 3:50. That's it. You may be tempted to keep watching to see the nose gear retract, but it's not going to happen. ;-) Fascinating video nonetheless.
I got the urge to kick the jacks out from under her just like I get the urge to kick crutches out from under someone with a broken leg. And because I know 1 idiot will think I’m serious- I know I can’t physically kick the jacks out from under an A380, but I absolutely can kick crutches out from under you.
Man by my impressions I say that's an A380 Singapore airlines. I don't know either what's more impressive, I think it's the Jack's holding that massive plane and talk about the tons required to lift that heavy bird.
