Gear position indicator

An aircraft indicator system for displaying a fully retracted state, a retraction transition state, a fully extended state, and an extension transition state of landing gear having a plurality of legs comprising:

• a power supply having a source connection and a return connection;
• a landing gear switch in communication with said source connection adapted to route power alternatively from said power supply to an up connection and a down connection, said up connection corresponding to a retracted state of said landing gear, and said down connection corresponding to an extended state of said landing gear;
• an up and a down sensor assembly, each sensor assembly comprising,
• a sensor switch activated by said landing gear having a common pole, a normally closed pole and a normally open pole;
• a resistor having a first end and a second end, said first end connected to said normally open pole;
• a flashing diode having a first end and a second end, said diode first end connected to said normally closed pole, said diode second end connected to said resistor second end;
• and
• a LED having a first end and a second end, said LED first end connected to said resistor second end, said LED second end connected to said power supply return connection,
• whereby said sensor switch causes said LED to indicate intermittently when said sensor switch actuates the normally closed pole, and said sensor switch causes said LED to indicate steadily when said sensor switch actuates the normally open pole;
• said common pole of said up sensor assembly connected to said up connection of said landing gear switch, and said common pole of said down sensor assembly connected to said down connection of said landing gear switch;
• whereby said LED of said down sensor assembly indicates steadily when said landing gear is in said fully extended state and indicates intermittently when said landing gear is in said extension transition state;
• and
• whereby said LED of said up sensor assembly indicates steadily when said landing gear is in said fully retracted state and indicates intermittently when said landing gear is in said retraction transition state.
