Systems for activating and deactivating an emergency landing gear system in an aircraft include a rotary toggle mechanism that actuates a switch. When the switch is actuated, the emergency landing gear system is activated and the operation of one or more other aircraft systems may be modified accordingly. The rotary toggle mechanism may be placed in three different states: a ready state, an active state, and a reset state. In the ready state, the switch is not actuated and the emergency landing gear system is not activated. In the active state the switch is actuated and the emergency landing gear system is activated. While the mechanism is in the active state the mechanism cannot be returned to the ready state without first passing through the reset state.
