The embodiments described herein relate to dynamically detecting landing gear deployment of an aerial vehicle. A set of flight measurements is dynamically generated and stored. The set of measurements may include altitude, distance to a destination, and airspeed. Each of these measurements is compared to a respective threshold value to produce a landing scenario indication. The comparison includes ascertaining that the vehicle is within a defined above ground level based on the altitude measurement, ascertaining that the vehicle is within a defined distance to a destination based on the distance to a destination measurement, and ascertaining that the airspeed measurement is below a maximum gear extension speed. The produced indication is converted into a landing gear protocol.
