I don't want to seem PC but the acronym WOG has a distinctly 70's racist undertone and could be replaced by another term.
Crab, I disagree if the AP was initiated correctly but a faulty WOG switch prevented the self test from initiating it could then erroneously signal weight on gear at the wrong time and the AP could then initiate the self test at the wrong moment, the self test involving communication with the actuators............

As for WOG being racist, don't be pathetic- it's all about context and we're talking about helicopters....For those who don't know it means WEIGHT ON GEAR as referenced throughout the FM....and that's not a radio frequency.............
