REFLECTOR: Gear annunicators - Poll

[steve korney]

Don't second guess the landing gear.... Down and locked is the only good thing when setting up for landing... Anything else is an emergency....
GREEN= Down and Locked
RED     = Everything else

Follow up on colors:

I'm using Red for "this is important / critical / abnormal", Green for "Good" and Amber for "FYI / not critical but expected".

Should the Gear in Transit indicator be Red or Amber? I'm thinking Red. But since it's expected (and the green gear down is what you're looking for), that would make Amber the proper color. 


Once again, this is picking nits, but if you're going to do it, you may as well do it right. :-)

I designed my enunciators so that the green light 
flashes while the gear is moving.

I like the , gear down, gear unsafe, pump on, lights. All 
  lights off if gear up and pump off.

  working on designing my annunicator panel and I'm stuck on the gear 
  indicators. I've got the "Gear Down" part, but I can't decide about the... not 
  down part. 

Other planes I've flown have had different 
  approaches.  Such as in addition to the "Gear Down", they would also have 
  a "Gear Up". 

Some have "Gear Down", "Gear Up" and "Gear In Transit" 
  (AKA "Gear Unsafe").  

While others have "Gear Down" and "Gear In 
  Transit". The absence of either being an implicit gear up. I see the advantage 
  of this method being that in flight with no problems, there are no indicators 
  on. 

Just wondering what others think about gear lights.
