Day 10 Progress Check Flashcards
At what speed does the anti-skid system typically stop functioning during landing roll?
20 mph
What is the role of the anti-skid control unit in the system?
To detect potential skids and control brake pressure via the control valves
What is the purpose of touchdown protection in an anti-skid system?
To prevent brake application until the aircraft is fully on the ground
When is a ground test of the anti-skid system typically performed?
Before flight to ensure the system is operational
Which component in the anti-skid system adjusts the hydraulic pressure to the brakes?
The anti-skid control valve
Which component of the anti-skid system monitors wheel rotation speed?
Wheel speed sensors
What type of signal is generated by AC wheel speed sensors in an anti-skid system?
An AC signal proportional to the wheel’s speed
What is a critical aspect of maintaining the control valves in the anti-skid system?
Regularly cleaning hydraulic filters and checking for leaks
How do anti-skid systems maintain optimal braking efficiency?
By modulating brake pressure to decelerate the wheel without causing a skid
Why is regular maintenance of wheel speed sensors important in an anti-skid system?
To detect potential damage or wear that could affect sensor performance
What is the function of auto brakes in conjunction with the anti-skid system?
To automatically adjust brake pressure during landing or emergency deceleration
Which system feature ensures that a wheel will not lock up if it has stopped rotating?
Locked wheel protection
How does the anti-skid system prevent wheel lock-up during landing?
By reducing brake pressure to allow the wheel to rotate
How do anti-skid control valves function in the braking system?
By receiving signals from the control unit and adjusting brake pressure accordingly
What is the primary function of the anti-skid system in large aircraft?
To prevent wheel skidding and maintain braking control during landing
