Description
ACI Gear Alert System (1510-319)
How does the ACI Gear Warning System works when installed in the Searey?
3 parameters are looked at by the ACI Gear Warning System:
a) Airspeed – When the aircraft decelerates for an approach, the ACI Gear Alert System will interrogate the pilot to select the appropriate button on the panel for a Land or Water Landing.
b) Flap Position – Anytime a flap selection of 20 degrees (or more) is selected, the ACI Gear Alert System will interrogate the pilot to select the appropriate button on the panel for a Land or Water Landing.
c) Gear Position – Regardless of Airspeed or Flap position, if the pilot changes the gear position, the ACI Gear Alert System will interrogate the pilot to select the appropriate button on the panel for a Land or Water Landing.
Upon takeoff and accelerating through the ‘set point’ airspeed, the ACI Gear Alert System will arm itself. If the landing gear has not been raised, the pilot will hear “Raise Gear, Raise Gear” in the headset.
The ACI Gear Alert System may be temporarily disabled to allow practicing slow flight without audio interrogations.
