Explanation:
The up symbol on the gear-position indicator shows the landing gear is fully retracted and locked. Once the gear cycles up, the wheels are stowed in the wells, doors are closed, and the locking mechanisms engage to prevent movement. The indicator is designed to confirm this secure, low-drag configuration for flight. If the gear were still down or not locked, a different indication would be shown, so the UP marker specifically communicates that the gear is both up and locked.
