The landing gear up warning system includes the warning horn pressure differential
switch, an auxiliary pitot-static system control panel, and an audio mute control. The
pressure differential switch is installed in the pitot static system, and activates the
audio warning horn and LDG GEAR UP caution light when airspeed is below 55 knots,
and the landing gear is not fully extended and locked. The warning horn may be disabled
by the AUDIO MUTE switch on the landing gear control panel. The mute function is
reset when airspeed increases above 55 knots, or if EMER BUS 2 power is lost. The
AUX SYS PITOT-STATIC control switches are located on the instrument panel, and
provide isolation / disabling of the warning horn pressure differential switch in the event
of a malfunction of the primary pitot-static system / associated plumbing. Operational
procedures for the Retractable Landing Gear configuration are found in the FAA Approved
