Is the canopy closed?
Is the nose gear down?

and with the upcoming telemetry actions, you can have the transmitter do something based on it..

maybe a true sequencer that is based on actions instead of timing..

doors open _switchA open.......
Gear down - switch B closed.....
Doors close - switch A closed..

transmitter says "gear down and locked your majesty, you may land now"
All very cool but you should also be able to do all that by assigning otherwise unused receiver channel(s) as a digital input(s), right?
