gear damage not shown
« on: August 09, 2005, 08:51:39 AM »
Got pinged by a B24. Ctrl D showed a damaged gear and PW. To bleed off speed while diving for the home field,
i lowered gear... and all three lights are green. Huh?



For savety reasons, i belly landed on RW wheels up, only damaging the prop/engine in the process.
Suddenly the light of the not lowered gear turns yellow.

Lancaster III – Landing Gear Position Indicator
« Reply #1 on: August 12, 2005, 09:03:40 PM »
Gear position indicator shows two green lights even though one gear is damaged.

While flying a formation of Lancs, lost the right main landing gear and right flap to puffy ack over a factory.  Ctrl-d listed right gear (and flap) as damaged.  Gear position indicator show two green light after lowering gear for landing.  External view showed right gear missing.
