the three gears is not in either the fully retracted position or the fully ex-
tended and locked position.
(d) On aircraft equipped with the backup gear extender, the yellow "Auto Ext.
Off' light immediately below the gear selector switch flashes whenever the
emergency gear lever is in the full up position.

Takeoff considerations:
On aircraft equipped with the backup gear extender, after takeoff, if the
gear selector switch is placed in
the
gear up position before reaching
the
airspeed
at
which the system no longer commands gear down*, the gear will not retract. For
obstacle clearance on takeoff and for takeoffs from high altitude airports, the
landing gear can be retracted at the pilot's discretion by placing the gear
selector switch in the up position and then latching the emergency gear lever
in the override up position. If desired, the override up position can be se-
lected and latched before takeoff, and the gear will then retract
as
soon
as
the gear
selector switch is placed in the up position. In this case, care should be taken
not to retract the gear prematurely, or the aircraft could settle back onto
the runway. If the override lock is used for takeoff, it should be disengaged
as soon as sufficient airspeed and terrain clearance are obtained, to return
the gear system to normal operation. For normal operation, the pilot should
extend and retract the gear with the gear selector switch located on the
instrument panel, as if the backup gear extender were not installed.
