Along similar lines but probably more relevant to charter pilots is "When does your gear go off?"

On the piston twin I fly, the manufacurer states the gear warning horn on should be set to sound at 11" manifold pressure. My IO-520s never get below 15" MP until the flare....

Maybe maintenance organisations whould consult with the company SOPS for engine handling and set the horns a little higher?

Food for thought.
