Q

Which hydraulic system powers NWS switch

  1. ALT
  2. NORM
A
  1. SYS B

2. SYS A

16
Q

What is the minimum width of pavement needed to a 180° turn for 738 with scimitar winglets? (Widest turn in fleet)

A

79.6 ft

17
Q

If normal braking is lost, is

  1. Antiskid available to both brakes?
  2. Autobrake available?
A
  1. Yes

2. No

18
Q

What stops the wheels from rotating upon retraction:

  1. Main wheels?
  2. Nose wheel?
A
  1. Brakes

2. Snubbers

19
Q

During main gear retraction, what happens if a spinning tire with loose tread impacts a fitting in the wheel well ring opening?

A

That gear stops retracting and free falls back to the down position. The affected gear cannot be retracted until the fitting is replaced.

20
Q

During a manual gear extension after uplocks are released, what forces pull the gear down?

A

Gravity and air loads

21
Q

Following a manual gear extension, what steps should be done to normally retract the gear if desired?

A
  1. Close manual extension access door
  2. Move the LANDING GEAR lever to DN with hydraulic SYS A available
  3. Position LANDING GEAR lever to UP
22
Q

When is NWS normally available?

A
  1. Nose gear down as compressed by aircraft weight

2. Lockout (bypass) pin not installed

23
Q

While taxiing, if you were to command the nose wheel to turn right 5° via rudder pedal and left 5° via tiller, what will the nose wheel do?

A

Turn left 5°

Tiller overrides rudder pedal steering

24
Q

If both normal and alternate Brake system pressure is lost, do we have any braking capability left?

A

Probably, trapped hydraulic pressure in the Brake accumulator can still provide several braking applications or parking brake application.

25
Q

When operating on alternate brakes, is here any difference on how the antiskid system works?

A

Yes. Antiskid protection is applied to main landing gear wheel pairs instead of individual wheels.

26
Q

Is it normal for the AUTO BRAKE DISARM light to flash when selecting RTO?

A

Yes, the light illuminates for 1-2 secs and then extinguishes indicating that an auto self-test has been successfully accomplished.

27
Q

What are the conditions necessary to arm the RTO autobrake mode?

A
  1. On the ground
  2. Antiskid and autobrake systems operational
  3. AUTO BRAKE select switch to RTO
  4. Wheel speed less than 60kts
  5. Thrust levers idle
28
Q

What is the minimum wheel speed and thrust lever position required to activate RTO auto max braking?

A

90 kts and idle thrust

29
Q

What would the autobrake system do if you landed with RTO selected (not cycled through OFF)?

A

No automatic braking occurs and the AUTO BRAKE DISARM light illuminates 2 secs after touchdown.

30
Q

After landing with autobrakes selected, when does autobrake activation begin?

A
  1. Both forward thrust levers idle

2. The main wheels spin-up

31
Q

What are the different ways to disarm autobrakes?

A
  1. Selector switch to OFF (no DISARM light)
  2. Speed brake lever to down detent
  3. Advancing forward thrust lever(s), except during the first 3 secs after touchdown
  4. Applying manual brakes
32
Q

What light might illuminate if there is a fault in the parking brake system?

A

ANTISKID INOP

33
Q

Where does the Air/Ground sensor receive its signals from?

A

6 sensors located at 2 per landing gear
