Use of fake landing gear switch for training?
Asked by: Tom Kelley 8196 views General Aviation
Has any instructor out there heard of using a "dummy" or fake landing gear switch on a fixed-gear aircraft to help reinforce the importance of putting the gear down as part of landing procedures? I fly a Cessna 182, but someday would like to step up to a retractable gear plane. Seems it would be very good to get in the habit NOW, of "putting the gear down" as part of my landing checklist. I know this may seem a bit crazy, but still wonder if any instructor ever heard of this.
