The max G load caret and digital readout exceedance indications cannot be reset in flight if the aircraft G limits have been exceeded. These can only be reset by maintenance after landing.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. They can be reset in flight if G limits are exceeded
• D. They can be reset only during maintenance before takeoff

Answer: (A)

When the aircraft exceeds its G limits, the G-load caret and the digital readout are designed to be non-resettable in flight. This is a safety measure to prevent hiding an over‑G event and to ensure a proper post‑flight inspection and maintenance check before the airplane is cleared to fly again.

The idea is that once an over‑G condition occurs, the system flags it and keeps that flag until maintenance personnel perform a controlled reset after the aircraft has landed. They verify there’s no structural damage, review the event data, and restore the system to a normal state only after ensuring the aircraft is safe for service. Resetting in flight could mislead the crew or mask a potentially unsafe condition, so in‑flight resets are not allowed.

So, the statement that these indicators cannot be reset in flight and can only be reset by maintenance after landing is correct.
