Hi, Nigel -
As I worded, that does sound like a goofy arrangement for the door
warning. I meant to convey my plan of using an aural warning for the
circuit. The necessity of reading throttle position is to douse the
noise when engine running and door ajar by intent. Given the problem
of what happens if the doors are not fully secured, I am afraid of the
day when a warning light verses angle of the sun just won't be noticed
except by looking for it, and I'm not that disciplined at times, esp
when tower clears me for an immediate, no delay sir.
Best,
Fred F.
