Hydraulic Pump running at switch on

[Ernie Martin]

I have a '73 G model in Miami, which has a powerpack. It's normal, if the aircraft's been sitting for a while, for the doors to be slightly open, so the microswitches activate the powerpack to firmly close the doors. But this should take only a few seconds. In mine, maybe 5 seconds. Ten seconds wouldn't concern me, but anything above that -- and certainly 45 seconds -- would cause me to have my mechanic look at it.
