To indicate an over temperature condition, usually as the result of a break in the bleed air ducts.
What warning system may be required when a nickel cadmium battery is installed in an aircraft?
A battery temperature monitoring system.
At what time would a check of a landing gear warning system normally be made?
During a landing gear retraction test.
