- well most (sensible) FQA administrators I have dealt with would accept you being gear up/clean if the situation was explained to them. Why not raise a report to company OR fly at 1010'?
A little like crossing the 300' headland north-east of LPMA at 1300'/250kts positioning for downwind. Yes, it triggers a 'too low gear' but is quite safe, briefed - and explained. Alternative is to set 1400' if you don't want the phone call.
