09-11-2022, 06:19 PM #1Nose Gear Strut Low - Is this a safety issue?
After landing back in Henderson today, I noticed the nose gear strut is noticeably lower than it usually is. This seems to be an recent problem, I don't remember this being the case on other flights.
Is this a safety issue and how critical is it?

I had this exact same thing happen to me over time, and eventually it got to almost the same as your picture shows and being so short, the wheel would hit the rub plate in the wrong place and would not let the gear door close 100% and ended up showing gear retract CAS message. No damage or safety issue but a big concern when your flying with the gear down just to be sure there are not gear issues you can't see?
