Adequate... why?

You aren't asymmetric... you know your main gear is working fine... you are VMC and can remain so... please explain, using small words and a crayon, what the danger is...

Haughtney old bean...

the crew whilst uneasy felt that the warnings were nuisance...so in essence, not ambigious..spurious
And that's the whole point... if you are not absolutely 100% certain that there is no issue, you ALWAYS err on the side of caution and do whatever you have to do to become 100% certain and 0% uneasy... which is why you use ALL the avenues available to you... including observation from the ground. Which, by the way, has often clarified whether an emergency exists or not in the past.

Oh, and I forgot to mention...

The use of the low level fly past or “fly-by” by an aircraft with landing gear, or other condition, for the purpose of ground observation / confirmation does not provide meaningful additional information etc etc etc. Such operations are prohibited.
In an emergency, as you know, the rule book goes out the window. There is nothing to stop you doing a low pass if you deem it necessary during an emergency. Just don't forget to declare an emergency!

One day, young Skywalker...
