Landing Gear Down Position-Indicator
: Lights
Landing gear system operation is controlled
by a manually actuated wheel-shaped switch, LDG GEAR CONTR UP / DN, on the left subpanel. The control switch and associated relay circuits are protected by 5 ampere circuit breaker, placarded LANDING GEAR RELAY, on the overhead circuit breaker .panel .b. Landing Gear Position Warning Lights
Two red bulbs, wired in parallel and activated by
microswitches independent of the GEAR DOWN position indicator lights, are positioned inside the clear plastic grip on the landing gear control switch. These lights illuminate whenever the landing gear switch is in either the UP or DN position and the gear is in transit. Both bulbs will also illuminate should either or both power levers be retarded below approximately 79 to 81% when the landing gear is not down and locked. To turn the switch lights OFF during single-engine operation, the power lever for the inoperative engine must be advanced to a position which is higher than the setting of the warn- ing horn microswitch. Extending the landing . gear will also turn the lights off c. Landing Gear Warning Light : Test Button A test button, placarded HDL LT TEST, is located on the left subpanel. Failure of the landing gear switch to illuminate red, when this test button is pressed, indicates two defective bulbs or a circuit fault. The circuit is protected by a 5ampere circuit breaker, placarded LANDING GEAR RELAY CONTROL, on the overhead .circuit breaker panel :d. Landing Gear Warning Horn
When either power lever is retarded below
approximately 79 to 81 N, when the landing gear is not down and locked or if the flaps are extended beyond 40% and the landing gear is not down and locked, a warning horn located in the overhead control .panel will sound intermittently
