The TOO LOW GEAR warning is triggered when the aircraft is below which conditions?

• A. Airspeed below 190 KIAS
• B. Altitude below 500 feet AGL
• C. Both airspeed below 190 KIAS and altitude below 500 feet AGL
• D. Gear not locked

Answer: (C)

The warning is gated by two conditions that together define a safe, near-ground configuration window. It will only trigger if you are below 500 feet above ground and your indicated airspeed is under 190 knots, and the gear is not down and locked. Both conditions being true means you’re in a very limited final-approach window where there isn’t enough time to safely extend and configure the landing gear. If either condition isn’t met—you're either higher than 500 feet or faster than 190 KIAS—the system won’t warn, to avoid false alarms during phases where you still have time to complete gear deployment.
