An uplock for use with an aircraft landing gear is disclosed having a hook configured to engage a capture pin mounted on the landing gear. The hook is mounted for movement between a closed and locked position and an open and unlocked position. A proximity detector directly detects whether the pin is “up”. An uplock hook sensor detects when the hook is in the closed and locked position. The outputs of the proximity detector and the uplock hook sensor may be used to indicate the “up and locked” condition, i.e., landing gear up, and/or to indicate a fault. Such outputs may be provided by an associated device of an avionics system.
