Answer 1

They contain carbon.

Question 2

True or false : the nose wheel is much weaker than the main wheels?

Answer 2

True.

Question 3

What twi techniques allow for an emergency gear deploy?

Answer 3

Gravity or pressurised nitrogen.

Question 4

Spats cover gears. Why are they used?

Answer 4

To make the gear more aerodynamic,

Question 5

Whats the difference between a main gear and a bogey gear?

Answer 5

Main gear is 2 wheel. Bogey gear is more than 2.

Answer 6

Shock absorbers.

Question 7

Instead of a spring, what do shock absorbers use?

Answer 7

Nitrogen.

Question 8

What dampens the oscillating motion of the shock absorber in the aircraft undercarriage?

Answer 8

The oil.

Question 9

When stationary, the gas pressure within the oleo strut, is equal to what?

Answer 9

The weight.

Question 10

At heaver weights, can we see more or less fescalized portion on the oleo strut?

Answer 10

Less.

Question 11

Where is the torque link on the landing gear?

Answer 11

Just above the wheel.

Question 12

What is located within the side brace on the landing gear?

Answer 12

Landing lights.

Question 13

Learn extension and retraction diagram

Question 14

What so landing gear downlocks do?

Answer 14

They prevent ACCIDENTAL retraction cannot occur.

Question 15

What type of pressure is required to release a landing gear uplock?

Answer 15

Hydraulic.

Question 16

What type of locks prevent movement of the gear and has a remove before flight tag attached to them?

Answer 16

Ground lock.

Question 17

When is an undercarriage leg experiencing the highest torsional load?

Answer 17

Tight man overs on the ground.

Question 18

What does it mean if the landing gear light is green?

Answer 18

The landing gear is down.

Question 19

When is VLO gear limiting speed used?

Answer 19

Doors open and gear down.

Question 20

Which is a higher speed VLE or VLO for landing gear operating speed?

Answer 20

VLE.

Question 21

How many degrees can a tiller steer the nose wheel?

Answer 21

75 degrees.

Question 22

How can you reduce nose wheel shimmy?

Answer 22

Hydraulically lock the steering position.

Question 23

What is the maximum speed for gear extension/retraction during normal operation? VLO OR VLE?

Answer 23

VLO.

Question 24

The geometric or blank lock is mainly used as a down lock. It requires mechanical forces to unlock it; this locks can be formed by using the stays bracing the struts.

Answer 24

Overcentre.

Question 25

True or false : During landing auto-brakes keep operating when idle reverse thrust is selected

Answer 25

True.

Question 26

True or false : During landing and rejected take-off auto-brakes keep operating until the pilot presses the brake pedals

Answer 26

True

Question 27

True or false : There is no need for a gust lock on reversible flight controls.

Answer 27

False

Question 28

Overcentre mechanisms in landing gear systems are used to…

Answer 28

Lock the landing gear upon retraction

Question 29

The nose-wheel steering system of a jet transport aeroplane can be controlled through the rudder pedals or a hand-wheel steering (tiller). When performing a blank blank during taxiing, an additional pilot action must be taken to avoid deflection of the nose wheel.

Answer 29

Rudder check

Answer 30

Vle

Question 31

In the RTO mode maximum blank braking is applied.

Answer 31

Ant skid
