Forward Instrument Panel - Rev 04 Flashcards
What is the function of the two Landing Gear Control and Interface Units (LGCIU)?
(FCOM-DSC-32-10-10)
a. Provide sequencing, operation, monitoring, and indications for the landing gear
b. Provide aircraft “In Flight” or “On the Ground” signals to other aircraft systems
When does the red arrow in the LND panel illuminate?
(FCOM-DSC-32-10-40, FCOM-DSC-32-10-50)
Below 750 feet RA, when the aircraft is in the landing configuration and the landing gear is not locked down
What happens if your airspeed is 280 knots and you place the Landing Gear lever to DOWN?
(FCOM-DSC-32-10-10)
Nothing - A safety valve shuts off hydraulic power to the landing gear system when airspeed is above 260 knots
What do the red UNLK lights indicate?
(FCOM-DSC-32-10-40)
The landing gear is not locked in the selected position
What controls and manages all braking functions?
(FCOM-DSC-32-30-10)
a. Normal Brakes: Braking Steering Control Unit (BSCU)
b. Alternate Brakes: Alternate Braking Control Unit (ABCU)
What happens when you switch the A/SKID & N/W STRG to OFF?
(FCOM-DSC-32-30-10, FCOM-DSC-32-30-20)
a. Nosewheel steering deactivated
b. Braking pressure is supplied by the Yellow hydraulic system
c. Anti-skid is deactivated
d. BSCU and ABCU are depowered
e. A 1,000 psi pressure limiting valve helps prevent wheel lock up
Which hydraulic systems provide pressure to the brakes?
(FCOM-DSC-32-30-10)
a. Normal brakes – Green
b. Alternate brakes – Yellow backed up by a hydraulic accumulator
What are the four modes of braking?
(FCOM-DSC-32-30-10)
a. Normal braking
b. Alternate braking with antiskid
c. Alternate braking without antiskid (max brake pressure 1000 psi)
d. Parking brake
When do the Autobrakes activate on landing if armed?
(FCOM-DSC-32-30-10)
When the ground spoilers deploy
What is the difference between LOW and MED AUTO BRK?
(FCOM-DSC-32-30-20)
LOW - progressive pressure applied to brakes 4 seconds after ground spoilers deploy to decelerate at 5.6 FPS
MED - progressive pressure applied to brakes 2 seconds after ground spoilers deploy to decelerate at 9.8 FPS
What does the AUTO BRK green DECEL light indicate?
(FCOM-DSC-32-30-20)
Actual rate of deceleration is within 80% of the selected rate
What is the Takeoff setting for Auto Brakes?
(FCOM-DSC-32-30-20)
MAX
What will cause the MAX AUTO BRK to activate on a RTO?
(FCOM-DSC-32-30-10, FCOM-DSC-27-10-20)
a. Airspeed above 72 knots, and
b. Thrust Levers at IDLE, and
c. Ground spoiler extension
If you lose Green hydraulic pressure will you have Auto Brakes?
(FCOM-DSC-32-30-10)
No, not with the Alternate Brake system
Is Anti-skid available with Alternate Brakes?
(FCOM-DSC-32-30-10)
Yes, if certain conditions are met
