With all blue lights on, the announcement will sound, “Water landing, gear
is up for water landing”. This announcement will continue to repeat and
complete the phrase, until the upper “CANCEL” button is pushed, or the
aircraft speed is increased above the trigger airspeed setting.
With all amber lights on, the announcement will sound, “Runway landing,
gear is down for runway landing”. This announcement will continue to
repeat and complete the phrase, until the lower “CANCEL” button is
pushed, or the aircraft speed is increased above the trigger airspeed setting.
If the condition exists where any indicator light within the WATER
quadrant, or RUNWAY quadrant, fails to illuminate, then the
announcement will sound, “Gear is unsafe, check gear”. This announcement
will continue to repeat and complete the phrase, until either upper or lower
Cancel button is pushed to de-activate.
The “TEST” button in the center left position of the face, when depressed,
will sound an audible announcement indicating the current position of the
gear. One of three announcements listed above, will repeat as long as the
button is depressed. This announcement will continue to repeat and
complete the phrase, until the button is released.
(It should be clearly noted that the audio advisory side of the Landing
Gear Advisory Unit by Aerocet, Inc. does not alleviate the pilot’s
responsibility to visually check the location of the landing gear prior to
landing, especially to assure the gear is up when making a water
landing. Audio systems may be turned down or fail.)
NOTE: The pilot should always visually check the nose gear before
attempting a water landing to assure that it is up regardless of audio
indication. If the pull ram mechanically fails, it could travel and show
a light or give an audio indication but not be connected to the nose gear
itself leaving the nose gear in the down position.
