REFLECTOR: Gear annunicators - Poll

[Douglas Holub]

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.

  I'm 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.
