An aural warning indicating landing gear status will occur when the throttle is reduced and the gear is not down and locked.

An aural warning indicating landing gear status will occur when the throttle is reduced and the gear is not down and locked.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only if flaps deployed
• D. Only during manual gear extension

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is how the landing gear warning system works. The cockpit uses a two-part check to guard against landing with the gear still up: the gear must be not down and not locked, and the power setting must be reduced to a level that indicates you’re on your approach or descending for landing (typically when throttle is brought down toward idle). When both conditions are true, an aural warning sounds to alert you to extend the gear. This isn't dependent on flaps being deployed, and it isn't limited to manual gear extension. The warning is intended to trigger whenever you’re descending with the gear not down and locked, so reducing the throttle while the gear isn’t in the correct position will prompt the warning. That makes the statement true.
