Turbine Duke flap indicator & oil door question
-
Learning the Dukes
- in the turbine duke the flap indicators all light up all the time (all 3 UP, APH, and DN)- works fine in the piston one. No indication of a failure on the tablet.Then a question on the oil doors - why is the oil door closed a yellow indicator that lights up the caution light even when done in cruise?

On the flap indicators, I've never seen that before, nor has anyone reported it, so I might suspect something control binding related on your end. I know that it doesn't happen with the Piston Duke, but strange things can happen.
For the oil door annunciator, I wish I had a better answer for you, but I confirmed that's how it's wired in the real aircraft. On the ground, it's function is obvious, but in cruise, you would think it would be negated by the gear switch to be more user friendly.

Well the indicator seems to have resolved itself lol. Yeah I found an earlier message later yesterday talking about the oil door. Man there's a couple really weird things about the Duke - setting off a master caution for a normal operation with the oil door and no indication for cowl flap position!? Beech quirks
