I've been using my 302 warnings this way since I've owned mine. Works
very well. As stated, it's simple to test the gear up/brakes unlocked while on the ground. The speed-enabled warning requires simulated airspeed. I don't really test the latter feature very often. My pre- flight checklist handles making sure the brakes/spoilers are locked on take-off. My ship has a very solid over-center lock mechanism. They've never unlocked on me without me explicitly doing it to apply brakes/ spoilers. My pre-landing checklist also covers the gear deployment before brake/spoiler usage for landing. I've actually never had the alarm go off because I missed something or the brakes/spoilers unlocked on their own. There were a few occasions where I deployed spoilers to stay out of a cloud at the top of some strong lift. That's the only time I've heard the alarm in flight. Hopefully it stays that way. It certainly gives piece of mind to know I won't land gear up. |
