Airspeed Gear Retraction Switch

[mooneykflyer]

Quick question for you guys/gals:

During flight, does the airspeed gear retraction switch still work? If flying slow with the gear down and you want to retract, I assume the switch wont allow this unless you over-ride, correct?

Also, what speeds does the switch operate under? I can't find it in my POH.

Many thanks!

Correct, you'll have to press the overide switch to raise the gear if below the minium airspeed. This of course is to protect you from raising the gear while on the ground. This is in your maintenance manual gear checks section 32-30-01. Assuming a K model iike your name implies, with the plane on jacks, master on, raise the gear switch to up and have your able assistant gently blow into the pitot tube. The gear should raise at 65 +7/-4 KIAS.
