Q

What is OFF position for for the landing gear?

A

Removes hydraulic pressure from the system.

2
Q

The landing gear indicator lights indicate red when:

one or more of the gear is in disagreement with the lever or they are in transit. Lights also illuminate when the a/c is below 800’ AGL with the gear not down and locked and one or both thrust levers are retarded to IDLE.

3
Q

The landing gear lights show green when:

A

gear is down and locked.

4
Q

Where is there another set of gear indicator lights?

A

Aft overhead panel. They operate from separate circuits.

5

T/F: Only one light, either center panel or overhead panel needs to be lighted for a gear to be considered down and locked.

A

True

6
Q

Landing gear ______ and ________, as well as _______, receive power from hyd sys A.

extension, retraction, nose wheel steering.

7
Q

T/F: Autobrakes are available with both normal and alternate brakes.

A

False. Just normal.

8
Q

When anti-skid is inop, what can’t you do for takeoff?

A

not able to use an assumed temperature reduced takeoff thrust takeoff.

9
Q

How many air ground sensors are there?

A

6, 2 on each gear

10
Q

On the _____, RTO mode is available.

A

ground

11
Q

After touchdown, and once wheel speed is greater than 30 kts, an _________ landing mode may be selected.

A

autobrake

12
Q

On the ground, the LANDING GEAR _____ solenoid is latched.

A

lever lock.

13
Q

Flight locks(doors): when ___ or more entry /service doors are closed and either engine N2 RPM is greater than 50%, the flight locks become engaged.

A

3

14
Q

Flight locks become disengaged on the ground when either thrust lever is less than _____.

A

53%.

15
Q

Below 2000 feet RA the AT (provided armed) is available for a _______

A

go around

16
Q

AT are disengaged ______after touchdown.

A

2 seconds

17
Q

With an airborne cargo fire, the _______extinguisher bottle timer is enabled.

A

2nd

18
Q

If sys B resivoir fluid is lost due to a leak downstream of the landing gear transfer unit, a sensor closes the LGTU and alternate steering is ________.

A

not available.

19
Q

The plane must be ________ for nose wheel steering to be powered.

A

on the ground

20
Q

Nose wheel tiller inputs can be rotated up to

A

+/- 78 degrees.

21
Q

Rudder pedals can supply steering control of up to

A

+/- 7 degrees

22
Q

When does nose wheel steering deactivate?

A

on takeoff as the nose wheel strut extends

23
Q

For aircraft _______ or ________ without having to depressurize the hydraulic systems, a lockout pin installed in the towing lever will depressurize nose wheel steering.

A

towing; pushback

24
Q

What hyd sys supplies pressure for the brake accumulator?

A

sys B

25
Q

T/F: anti-skid is available with both normal and alt brakes.

A

True

26
Q

What is the difference in anti-skid protection in normal vs alt?

A

Normal: anti skid for each individual wheel
Alternate: just wheel pairs.

27
Q

Brake systems provide protection from what?

A

Skid, locked wheel, touchdown, hydroplanning.

28
Q

T/F: Anti-skid is available with loss of both hyd systems

A

true

29
Q

What hyd system provides pressure for autobrakes?

A

Sys B

30
Q

When RO is selected, AUTO BRAKE DISARM light illuminates momentarily to indicate operation of the _______.

A

self test.

31
Q

How do you arm RTO mode

A
on ground
anti-skid and autobrakes work
AUTO BRAKE switch in RTO
wheel speed less than 60 kts
thrust less than idle.
32
Q

If takeoff is rejected below 90 kts, autobraking will not start. The ___________ light will not illuminate and RTO remains aremed

A

AUTO BRAKE DISARM

33
Q

How is the RTO mode activated?

A

speed greater than 90 kts and thrust levers moved to IDLE.

34

39
Q

Main gear is held in the up position by ________.

A

mechanical uplocks

40
Q

if the left engine fails on takeoff, what happens with respect to the landing gear?

A

the landing gear transfer unit will use hyd sys B to supply the fluid volume req’d to ensure retraction of the gear at a normal rate.
