GEAR INCORRECT INDICATION (damaged)

[Shrike88]

Greetings.

 

Found that if Gear is Damaged, they are incorrectly indicated on the Cockpit on the Gear light indications.

 

For example Nose Gear damaged, and will not retract. However when gear lever up and gear retracted, Nose gear showing retracted (unlit indication light) This is incorrect and a bug.

 

Thanks

I noticed the same with an outrigger the other night as well.

Unlit light does not indicate retracted. It indicates not down and locked. Maybe the nose gear isn't down and locked.

Unlit light does not indicate retracted. It indicates not down and locked. Maybe the nose gear isn't down and locked.

Are you sure? I remember unlit lights mean gear is "up and locked". If it's green, gear is extracted.

Frederf. True about green indications, However I was indicating and referring that the gear indications are Not correct. Sorry if I incorrectly worded it. If you read the manual you will see. There are no warning lights nor Amber indications. NFM-000 NATOPS

 

2.17.1.8 Landing Gear Position Indicators

The landing gear position indicators are on the lower left main instrument panel. The N (nose gear), L (left wing gear), R (right wing gear) and M (main gear) green indicators come on when the respective gear is down and locked. The N, L, R and M amber indicators are in−transit indicators and come on when the respective gear is not down and locked or up and locked. The N amber indicator will remain on if the nose gear is up and the nose gear doors are not closed.

 

2.17.1.8.1 Landing Gear Warning Lights and Aural Tone

The landing gear warning lights consist of the GEAR light on the upper right main instrument panel and the light in the landing gear handle. Both warning lights are red and come on simultaneously. The warning lights come on steady when any gear position disagrees with the landing gear handle position or with the landing gear up and either nose gear door is not closed. The warning lights and the N (nose gear) amber position indicator will both be on when the nose gear is up and either nose gear door is not closed. With the gear down and locked, improper door position will not cause the warning lights to illuminate.

With the landing gear handle in the up position both warning lights will flash and the aural tone will sound in the pilot’s head set when the aircraft altitude is below 6,000 feet, airspeed is less than 160 knots and the sink rate is over 250 feet per minute. A LANDING GEAR, LANDING GEAR voice warning is provided in conjunction with the flashing GEAR warning lights.
