PA30 Landing gear switch guard
by Larry Martin » Sun Dec 18, 2016 11:47 pm
Ref: Above switch/guard....
My switch has the guard at the bottom, which makes it seem to me that it would prevent the gear from being selected DOWN. This is also how I see it in the parts manual. My logic would want a guard to prevent the gear from being inadvertently selected UP.
Can anyone enlighten me please........ 
Thanks,

Though it is not intuitive, with the guard there, you can not accidentally bump the gear switch up. You must be purposeful in pulling the switch out in order to raise it to the up position. Without the guard, you could bump it up.
