be a red light in the gear handle without the audible tone. This:
a. is a proper indication.
b. indicates the gear are not down and locked.

Select the true statement below concerning a practice alternate gear extension.
a. To ensure hydraulic pressure on the gear after alternate extension, cycle the gear handle with the alternate
release handle lanyard fully extended.
b. Do not move the gear handle until the alternate release handle lanyard is fully stowed.

If you have AC electrical failure, will this affect the flight controls? If so, why?
Yes. Trim is AC powered
What hydraulic operations are no longer available if the alternate gear extension is used?
Nose wheel steering inop.
And landing gear doors remain open.
The left engine is flamed out and frozen. Can rudder trim be used during the single-engine approach?
No. Rudder trim requires stab-aug on which runs on utility hydraulics

c. Interconnected with flight control hydraulic system
d. A system of mechanical cables, pulleys, and bell cranks
Independent, self-contained hydraulic system
Because of utility hydraulic failure, the gear has been lowered by the alternate gear release. What is still available to the pilot? a. Nosewheel steering b. Downside hydraulic pressure c. Speed brake d. Wheel brakes
d. Wheel brakes
How are aerodynamic forces transmitted from the flight control surfaces to the pilot?
a. Hydraulic pressure feedback valves
b. Hydraulic servo valves through the flight hydraulics
c. Aerodynamic forces are simulated by artificial feel
d. Direct linkage through the flight control cables
c. Aerodynamic forces are simulated by artificial feel
Which statement describes the operation of the red light in the gear handle?
a. The light is on any time the gear are not down and locked.
b. In the up position, the light is a function of the gear doors, and in the down position, the light is a function of
the gear position.
c. Any time the light in the gear handle is on, you will hear the gear tone (provided the silence button has not
been pushed).
d. Both b and c are correct.
b. In the up position, the light is a function of the gear doors, and in the down position, the light is a function of
the gear position.
The takeoff trim button
a. trims the horizontal tail, rudder, and ailerons for takeoff.
b. trims only the rudder and turns on the green light when the button is pressed.
c. trims ailerons, horizontal tail, and turns on the green light when the button is pressed.
d. trims only the horizontal tail, and the takeoff trim light illuminates only when the button is pressed and the
horizontal tail is trimmed for takeoff.
d. trims only the horizontal tail, and the takeoff trim light illuminates only when the button is pressed and the
horizontal tail is trimmed for takeoff.

a. If one flap motor fails, that flap will not extend.
b. If either flap motor fails, both flaps should extend because of the interconnecting rotary shaft.
c. If you lose the utility hydraulic system, the flaps will be inoperative.
d. The flaps require both AC and DC power to operate.
B,d
How does AC and DC power failure affect flap operations?
a. They will be inoperative only with AC power failure.
b. They will be inoperative only with DC power failure.
c. They will be inoperative only if both AC and DC power fail.
