Fw 190 D-9 Dora: wrong cockpit label

"Fahrwerk aus über 200 km/h" means "Lower landing gear above 200 km/h". It should be "Fahrwerk ein über 200 km/h" or "Fahrwerk aus unter 200 km/h".

It still doesn't make sense. You raise the landing gear above 200 km/h, you don't lower it.

These notes weren't really standardized, individual pits could come with individual notes. From a piloting point of view it does make sense. This one is possibly to remind the pilot that he should extend the landing gear while still above 200km/h during approach. The manual recommends the pilot to extend the gear at about 300km/h, approach with 200-220 and flare out at 180. So 200km/h is extremely slow and not a speed at which you raise the gear.

The Fw 190 A-3 also has a similar note above the speedometer.
