WOW Disagree.

What surprises me here, in view of the critical importance of WOW signals, is that there is no WOW Disagree Warning; for example, between Nose and Main Gear.

The only time that they should disagree is on Rotate or initial Landing.

The simple answer is to feed all WOW signals to a simple Comparator, with a 10 second ‘disagree’ time delay to a WOW annunciator. Does any manufacture already do this. Surely!
