This well respected device is primarily known for being an airspeed aid. However it is also an invaluable “check-gear-down” warning for the retractable Monowheel pilot.
If you have a retractable undercarriage, you can enable this alert even if you don't have a switch that signals when the undercarriage is down and locked. In that case, whenever speed director mode is entered, the undercarriage alert will be triggered to remind you to check that the wheels are down. Once the alert has sounded, briefly press the push switch to cancel the alert.
If you do have the undercarriage down switch, the alert will be suppressed if the undercarriage is down when speed director mode is entered.
