Q

Max airspeed for gear extension or retraction

19
Q

Max airspeed with gear extension

20
Q

Max VTOL/CONV mode touchdown rate

Study These Flashcards
A

720 fpm for gross weight less than 46,000 lbs and 600 fpm for gross weight greater than 46,000 lbs

21
Q

When is the landing gear warning low altitude mode armed

Study These Flashcards
A

when the gear is retracted, nacelles are greater than 70 degrees, and aircraft exceed 500 ft/min rate of climb

22
Q

When is the landing gear warning triggered in low altitude mode

Study These Flashcards
A

If rate of climb drops below 200 ft/min for 3 sec below 240 ft AGL.

23
Q

When is the landing gear warning high altitude mode armed

Study These Flashcards
A

Above 240 ft AGL or nacelles lower than 70 degrees

24
Q

When is the landing gear warning triggered in high altitude mode

Study These Flashcards
A

When aircraft descends below 200 ft AGL, nacelles are greater than 70 degrees, and the gear is not down and locked

25
Which electrical bus provides power for gear extension and retraction controls and gear position indicators
No. 1 DC Bus
26
Static ground wires
mounted between the two wheels on each Landing Gear Shock Strut to discharge the aircraft's static electricity
27
What happens when both pilots apply brake pressure simultaneously
The system responds only to the pilot applying the higher pressure
28
When is backup break power used most often
For spotting on the ship or hangar decks when the APU is not running
29
The electric motor for the backup brake is powered by which bus
The unswitched battery bus, so failure to turn it off can cause the battery to drain
30
Where is the Emergency Extension Nitrogen Bottle and Gauge located
In the aft right sponson
31
When might an abnormal retraction be necessary
1. The control handle down lock solenoid fails to release the mechanical lock 2. there is a WOW switch failureIn either case use the DOWN LOCK ORIDE
32
Landing gear handle position for emergency extension
Emergency extension takes place regardless of the gear handle position
33
What triggers LG DN A/S EXCEEDED Caution
Landing gear is down and the airspeed exceeds 140 KCAS
34
Procedure for LG DN A/S EXCEEDED Caution
If 150 KCAS is exceeded:1. Landing Gear - Remain Down2. Land as soon as practical
35
What triggers NOSEWHL NOT CNTRD Caution
One of the following conditions occurred during gear retraction:1. Nosewheel not centered2. Nosewheel position is unknown and the nosewheel actuator failed3. There is an actuator fault
36
Procedure for NOSEWHL NOT CNTRD Caution
CAUTION: Do not attempt to raise the gear. If gear retraction is attempted without the nosewheel centered, major structural damage may occur.1. PFCS - ResetIf caution does not clear2. Land as soon as practical, vertical landing recommended
37
What triggers NOSEWHL STEER FAIL Caution
Nosewheel steering actuator has failed or nosewheel is beyond 75 degrees from center
38
What triggers LAND GEAR ABORT Advisory
Landing gear has not successfully completed an up or down transition cycle within 30 +/-5 seconds
39
What triggers LANDING GEAR FAULT Advisory
The Landing Gear Control Unit has detected a BIT fault or the Landing Gear Control Solenoid Valve has failed overspeed caution and gear up warning tone may be inoperative. Or Landing gear has lost down lock. Hydraulic pressure is now continuously provided to landing gear actuators.
40
Procedure for LAND GEAR ABORT Advisory or LANDING GEAR FAULT Advisory
1. Attempt to operate gear normallyIf unsafe gear indications 2. Landing Gear Fails to Extend - Execute
41
Procedure for LANDING GEAR FAULT Advisory if cause is lost down lock.
If landing gear is relocked1. Landing normallyIf landing gear fails to relock2. Landing gear fails to retract/extend - Execute
42
What triggers WOW DISAGREE Advisory
WOW switches disagree for more than 15 seconds
