Pitot/static leak issues when using a "squat switch"
Everything I've flown with a squat switch (props, turboprops, jets) has
had shock struts.* Does the '20 have one of those? Come to think of it, we use "landing gear down and locked" as a position for a micro switch in our gear warning systems.* It shouldn't be at all difficult to use a micro switch in the "landing gear up and locked" position as your "in flight" sensor.* But when you lower the gear, you'll be reporting "on ground".* You could also use a toggle switch, just don't forget to flip it.* Or you could simply switch your transponder from ON to ALT before takeoff and after landing.

But I’ll think it over. -- Dan, 5J |
