Marc,

Do the squat switches physically prevent the lever from being actuated, or do they prevent the gear from retracting even though the lever may be moved to the "retracted" position? I've heard tales of guys in other A/C hitting the gear lever on the take-off roll so the gear comes up the moment the weight comes off the wheels. It doesn't sound safe, but the stories persist...

BTW, I'm still good for a sortie on Friday if the weather holds...
