Indication problem with the gear most likely. Flew with it down and
pinned.
Most other problems can be speed taped and flown at normal speed.

Michelle, et al,

Along similar lines, I recently flew an America West 757 that had it's
spoilers placarded as INOP and according to the Captain, per their MEL they
were altitude restricted to no higher than FL290...

RVSM starts at 290 doesn't it? Why would spoilers (or the lack of same) be
a concern for RVSM flight?

Just wondering if anyone may have a clue on this...
