We're climbing out, I'm utterly entranced with the moonlit night and... beep-beep-beep and the dash lights up - oh lord, something serious has broken. Nah, the instructor said, and pulled the override. From that, I learned two things: Know your aircraft before flying it, and carry extra underwear. | |

Also during takeoff if the EMERG OVERRIDE is engaged and the pilot commands the landing gear up using the panel selector switch, the landing gear will not retract until the aircraft accelerates past 85kts or the EMERG OVERRIDE lever is pulled up and locked in place. | |

Did I miss any? | |
