Interesting... .that would have been one of the 15 that we were supposed to get at Mesaba before the 2 for 1 swap ASA agreed to..... My last recurrent we were told that the gear seems to be as much a problem for the 900 that the flaps are for the 200. We actually had one on the way from the factory for delivery have to do the manual extention. I was told these are electric glitches and the manual extension should work fine by bypassing the electronics. Guess it didn't work in this situation.
