When does the landing gear warning aural alert activate?

The landing gear warning aural alert activates under several conditions to ensure the safety and operational integrity of the aircraft. The alert is designed to notify the crew of potentially hazardous situations regarding the landing gear.

When the gear handle is raised, it signals that the landing gear is being retracted. In such a case, if the aircraft is at a low altitude and not yet configured for landing, the alert is critical for reminding the pilots to safely manage the landing gear position.

Additionally, if the landing gear is not down and locked when it should be, the alert aims to prevent accidents by prompting the crew to take corrective action. This situation typically occurs if the aircraft is approaching to land without the landing gear properly deployed.

Finally, the TEST button is used to verify the functionality of the warning system itself. Pressing this button triggers the alert as a part of the system check, confirming that the warning function operates correctly in case of an actual emergency.

Thus, the aural alert can be triggered in all the specified scenarios, making it essential for flight safety.
