What indicates the landing gear is in transit?

• A. Striped black and white boxes in the gear status window
• B. A blinking red light
• C. A yellow X
• D. A solid green light

Answer: (A)

When the gear is moving between up and down, the status display uses a moving, striped pattern to show transit. The striped black-and-white boxes in the gear status window are designed specifically to signal that the gear is in motion, not in a fixed position. This visual cue is distinct from other indicators that show a gear down and locked or retracted. A blinking red light typically denotes a warning, a yellow X indicates an unsafe or not-down condition, and a solid green light means the gear is down and locked. So the striped pattern is the clearest sign that the landing gear is currently in transit.
