Hook lever inop / unclickable with gear up

[theIRIEone]

As titled,

i'm aware the hook itself is inop with gear up, but i think should still be able to click and interact with the lever inside the cockpit, even if that does not lead to any changes regarding the hook itself. However it only becomes clickable with gear down and goes back to being unclickable with gear up.

Attached is a short track file highlighting the issue.

It certainly appears that you can move the control according to this bit in the manual.

(Unless you are expected to enter combat with gear down).
