[simpits-tech] FW: B737 Landing Gear Lever

[Stig Joergensen]

With out being 100% sure i would guess there is a lock on all 3 stages
so you cant move it from up till down in one go - to avoid accidents
when moving it to the off position... 

but tomorrow i can check with some of my 747 manuals - to tiered right
now - had a 21 hours working day...... and im off to bed
