GAIN SWITCH use scenario

[dondiablo]

Hello,

 

I understand that with the GAIN Switch in ORIDE, the plane will have a fixed value for the flaps and aileron. Instead of being controlled by the FCS.

 

In which situations would the pilot want to/need to use this setting?

AOA probe failure. Or FLAPS SCHED or FLAPS OFF cautions. A few other but those are the big ones.
