On some A/C, under certain conditions of speed/power lever (or throttle)/flap position the horn may be temporarily cancelled (ie practice asymmetrics).

Any possibilities along this line??

One particular A/C I remember (BE76) has a stall warning which sounds the same as the gear warning. This has serious potential.

I remember one day when we were turning base (asymm, still with the gear up) and Bloggs reduces power on the live engine to below the trigger level for the gear horn. Horn blaring away, I ask him what that could possibly be?

"We are stalling, sir. But it's okay, we have 95 knots".

Next!
