How can you silence "Landing Gear" Alarm?

Thought I would try flying down the Grand Canyon in the TB930, foolish maybe, but worth a try. But, as soon as I got near the Canyon rim, this female voice continually chided me “Landing Gear, Landing Gear” ad nauseum so I aborted the flight. Is there anyway to turn off spoken cockpit alarms, perhaps in the settings?

i don’t think/know of that this is possible

You can go in to options>sound>volume levels and turn down the warning level. Or just bump up the throttle a bit intill is turns off.

Set the flaps to full without landing gear extended and madam begins to nerve.

I take full flaps after landing gear :thinking:

Normally everybody is doing so, but not when you try to fly through Grand Canyon. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

At least she is not saying: “Do a barrel roll”

O well, forgot one more thing. When you pull throttle to idle, madam will talk to you too. :grin:

You can’t without reducing other sounds via the sim Settings menu. The Gear-up and Idle warning is baked-in and can’t be “muted” via the Garmin settings or push button in any way (and IRL). As others suggested, the easiest way around this is to bump your speed up a bit… just avoid a stall :slight_smile:

I believe either the tbm or the long air has a button to shut her up but I can’t seem to click it.

Have you tried lowering the landing gear?

I couldn’t resist i know I’m not helping. Raise the throttle ten percent-ish, feather the prop while you dive, works as an air brake. I use it when atc decides to give me clearance for approach 10 miles from the runway, I go into full feather, crazy Ivan mode.

You can literally move the throttle a mm, which still doesn’t add thrust and shuts up the warning. Problem solved.

Thanks for the tips, folks!

Yes, you get the warning only at exatly 0% throttle.

15

No if you are in Autopilot mode, you reduce IAS and the stupid retard start to call “landing gear” at 45.000 ft altitude, there’s nothing you can do. I stopped fly Cessna Longitude because of this ■■■■.

I find those annoying as well when I just wanna goof around but the fix is easy.

There is a menu item (forgot its exact wording) that lets you turn all these bleating warnings to zero.

Thanks for info! I’ll look for that menu setting!
