Piper Navajo Chieftain PA31-350 Departure from Gainesville 

Thanks for watching 🙏🏾

For this airplane yes. (It is full forward in the video)

@@planesairbornebymalikclark2806 Odd rigging then I suppose. On the one I fly the handles all line up when firewalled.

Yeah it’s just how they calibrate it and whatnot. I’ve flown quite a few Navajos and a large number of them are the same. Sometimes the prop levers aren’t synced full forward but they’re both governed for max rpm

That drop is the “Up-off” position. After the gear is retracted and the hydraulic pressure builds up, the gear automatically returns to the off position to prevent the hydraulic pump from running constantly. The gear is held in the up position by up locks (J hooks) so there is no need to run the pumps to keep them up.

@@planesairbornebymalikclark2806 interesting, thanks for the explanation.
