Narrative:

Right gear hit doors on retraction. Cycled gear -- normal after that. Left elevator pressure low on landing. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter indicates that after cycling the gear indications were normal with no damage found on landing. On arrival, maintenance inspected and found tire marks on the gear doors. They put the aircraft on jacks to run a gear retraction test to find that the gear was out of alignment. This was corrected. Reference to elevator pressure low after landing was thought to be an inaccurate EICAS message as there was no flight control problems and maintenance was unable to duplicate it.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: B767 TIRES STRUCK GEAR DOORS ON RETRACTION.

Narrative: R GEAR HIT DOORS ON RETRACTION. CYCLED GEAR -- NORMAL AFTER THAT. L ELEVATOR PRESSURE LOW ON LNDG. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: RPTR INDICATES THAT AFTER CYCLING THE GEAR INDICATIONS WERE NORMAL WITH NO DAMAGE FOUND ON LNDG. ON ARR, MAINT INSPECTED AND FOUND TIRE MARKS ON THE GEAR DOORS. THEY PUT THE ACFT ON JACKS TO RUN A GEAR RETRACTION TEST TO FIND THAT THE GEAR WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THIS WAS CORRECTED. REF TO ELEVATOR PRESSURE LOW AFTER LNDG WAS THOUGHT TO BE AN INACCURATE EICAS MESSAGE AS THERE WAS NO FLT CTL PROBS AND MAINT WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE IT.
