Airplane deceleration equals 80% of selected rate/

17
Q

the auto brake system can be disarmed by

A

applying sufficient brake pedal pressure to one pedal

18
Q

The Captain must verify that the parking brake is set with adequate pressure by

A

Ensuring that normal pressure is indicated on the BRAKES and ACC PRESS indicator.

19
Q

A

240

20
Q

Maximum landing gear retraction speed is ______ knots

A

220

21
Q

Why are there two triangles for each gear on the ECAM WHEEL page?

23
Q

The landing gear extension and retraction is controlled electrically by

A

LGCIU 1 or 2

24
Q

The gear lever is locked in the DOWN position by an interlock system to prevent unsafe retraction of the landing gear when
