Key Takeaways:

Malfunctioning limit switches are a common cause of operational issues across various aircraft systems, including flaps and landing gear.
These failures can result in incorrect system indications, persistent warning lights, or actual operational failures like non-extending flaps or gear position discrepancies.
Root causes range from electrical defects and mechanical misadjustments (e.g., bent tabs) to environmental contamination such as ice.
