The present invention provides for a computer that accepts inputs from a surface monitor to determine whether the terrain below the aircraft is water or land . In a preferred embodiment an improved landing gear warning system is provided to warn a pilot when landing gear of an aircraft are in the improper configuration for a landing on a particular surface. The warning system comprises a computer operatively connected to a surface monitor and a gear-status warning indicator. The computer also accepts an input from the gear status sensors to determine if the landing gear is extended or retracted. If the system senses a water surface and the landing gear is down , a warning light and/or buzzer alerts the pilot that the landing gear is in the incorre ct configuration. If the landing surface is land and the gear is up, the "gear status" indicat or warning is initiated.
