A

thermal expansion
air purging
filtration and sediment
cooling

Q

non-pressurized reservoir

A

vented to atmosphere to allow air to dissipate from system

55
Q

hydraulic accumulator

A

stores hydraulic fluid under pressure
back up or intermittent loads

56
Q

hydraulic pumps

A

supply fluid flow to actuating units
provide pressure to overcome system resistance

Q

how are aircraft wheels retained

A

on the axle by a single axle nut in the center of the wheel
cotter pin retains axle nut

80
Q

what type of bearings do wheels have

A

roller bearings

81
Q

more modern design
better dissipate heat

82
Q

advantage of disc brake over drum brake

A

better at dissipating heat

83
Q

downside of disc brakes

A

single disk limits amount of friction obtained
heavy aircraft may not have enough surface area to stop aircraft

84
Q

what’s a way to get air out of the brakes

A

bleed the brakes

85
Q

how does the master cylinder work

A

master cylinder has flexible hoses that run to the caliper and sends hydraulic fluid

86
Q

Cleveland type brake

A

piston actuates pucks on either side of disk to brake
fixed disk

87
Q

good year type brake

A

disk is floating

88
Q

multiple disc problems

A

heat fires
heat build up prevents effective braking
