Key Takeaways:

Limit switches are critical components for the proper operation and indication of essential aircraft systems, including flaps and landing gear.
These switches are prone to a variety of failures, such as being defective, intermittent, contaminated, misadjusted, or physically damaged (e.g., bent tabs).
Malfunctions of limit switches can lead to operational issues like incorrect flap or gear deployment, erroneous warning lights, or continuous power application to motors.
