That was discussed in this thread a few dozen pages ago, and I think that the consensus was 'no' (and IIRC the rationale was 'it would damage the gear doors if the system did that at speeds in excess of the limits from the manual ...). Go back about a week or two in posts and I think you'll find the discussion on that. Starts at around page 28, something about a logic gate based on IAS of 260 knots.
Simple question, but instead the thread was deleted and over here with armchair aviation afficianodos and a few real pilots/crew we still keep harping on ethnic and cultural crapola. .
I think that part of Clandestino's point was that an unhealthy cockpit gradient can happen anywhere.
