MD-80 Nose Gear swing

Swinging the nose gear on the ramp at KCI. Just performing a maintenance check to verify a fault in the indication system.

Shit!!! Did the main gear doors really slam into the ground??!! 😧❗️

[@EngineerTayvion]

yeah 😂

[@peterellis5311]

Wow!! Do you fill the rear of the plane with weight to do this or is there a jacking point? What's the procedure? Loved the video!

[@littlepastelkitten]

do you not see the bright orange jack just behind the nose gear? its kinda hard to miss

[@davidrios8288]

No. You don't fill it with anything. Hydrolic jacks lift it.
