Default 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.

I am thinking about a better mousetrap. Probably can’t do a squat switch on the gear because of the configuration on the ASW20. But I’ll think it over.
