Narrative:
During approach to land at fll airport, the landing gear failed to extend. During the missed approach, while dealing with a landing gear emergency, we were cleared to 2000 ft, but I climbed to 2500 ft, due to being distraction while dealing with the landing gear failure. This emergency requires one crew member to leave the flight deck to manually extend the landing gear. I was flying by hand and reading the checklist to ensure everything was completed in order. The autoplt was not an option due to the yawing of the aircraft to induce air loads to lock main landing gear in the down position. Maintaining 300 ft within my assigned altitude was difficult at best.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: A FALCON 20 FLT CREW EXPERIENCE A LNDG GEAR FAILURE RESULTING IN THE ACFT GOING AROUND AND A 500 FT ALTDEV. A MANUAL EXTENSION WAS PERFORMED FOLLOWED BY A SAFE LNDG.
Narrative: DURING APCH TO LAND AT FLL ARPT, THE LNDG GEAR FAILED TO EXTEND. DURING THE MISSED APCH, WHILE DEALING WITH A LNDG GEAR EMER, WE WERE CLRED TO 2000 FT, BUT I CLBED TO 2500 FT, DUE TO BEING DISTR WHILE DEALING WITH THE LNDG GEAR FAILURE. THIS EMER REQUIRES ONE CREW MEMBER TO LEAVE THE FLT DECK TO MANUALLY EXTEND THE LNDG GEAR. I WAS FLYING BY HAND AND READING THE CHKLIST TO ENSURE EVERYTHING WAS COMPLETED IN ORDER. THE AUTOPLT WAS NOT AN OPTION DUE TO THE YAWING OF THE ACFT TO INDUCE AIR LOADS TO LOCK MAIN LNDG GEAR IN THE DOWN POS. MAINTAINING 300 FT WITHIN MY ASSIGNED ALT WAS DIFFICULT AT BEST.
