Abstract
An aircraft system for an aircraft is disclosed including a controller. The controller is configured, during a take-off procedure, to initiate automatic closing of a landing gear bay door of the aircraft from an open position towards a closed position, on the basis of a determination that a predetermined door-closing criterion has been met and a command to retract a landing gear has not been received, the landing gear being arranged to retract into a landing gear bay to be at least partially covered by the landing gear bay door when the landing gear bay door is in the closed position.
