  1. It is.wrong what you say Julio, First, everything depends on the type and model of the plane, apart from the age, not all of them have it. ,those who do bring it, their function is THE CORRECT, the function to see if the main landing gear or the nose wheel has not lowered is seen inside the cockpit, the first indication if the train has gone down is THREE GREEN LIGHTS, if one did not turn on, a checklist procedure is followed (very long) If this does not work, there is a hatch in the floor, it is opened, it is lowered, it is checked, it is visually checked and there are no nose wheels or main landing gear wheels, the control tower is notified to the passenger cabin., ground emergency services and prepares for an emergency landing,hold on.

    Good evening, it is precisely to have the location of a viewer, which can be accessed by lifting the floor mat, and be able to see if the plane's main gear is stuck. Indications are red.

  3. It actually indicates the position of a viewer that is on the floor, Under the carpet, and that allows the Cabin Crew to verify that the landing gear is locked. If in the cockpit they receive the indication that it has not locked, through that viewfinder and through a system of mirrors, verification is done
