Landing Gear Warning Lights
The Landing Gear Warning lights, located at the bottom of the instrument panel, are used to alert the
pilot about the state of the landing gear system. The red Unsafe light will turn on and a horn alert
will sound in the cockpit when the throttle is retarded below the minimum cruise condition while the
landing gear doors are closed and the gear is up and locked, or at any throttle position if the landing
gear doors are open and the gear is down and unlocked or up and locked.
The below chart illustrates the possible conditions of the Landing Gear Warning lights:
