A

5.6

NATOPS 2.13.1.2

22
Q

The No. 2 hydraulic system reservoir has a capacity of ____ gallons.

A

1.0

NATOPS 2.13.1.3

23
Q

The primary purpose of hydraulic pump 1B is to:

A

Charge the brake accumulator

NATOPS 2.13.1.2

24
Q

What items are powered by the number 2 hydraulic system?

A

Flight control boosters, bomb bay doors, and flaps.

NATOPS 2.13.1.3

25
Q

With a failure of the number 1 system hydraulic pumps, the following system is not available

A

Nosewheel steering

(Landing gear will gravity drop and brakes have air system/few more charges in system)

NATOPS 2.13.1.2 & 3

26
Q

With a loss of hydraulic system number 1 system fluid:

A

The gear cannot be raised.

NATOPS 2.13.4.1

27
Q

With a failure of the number one hydraulic system, it is necessary to turn of the No. 1 and 1A hydraulic pumps to ensure proper operation of the:

A

Rudder

NATOPS 2.13.2.2

28
Q

If no hydraulic brake pressure is available, the emergency air brakes should be capable of providing approximately ____ full airbrake applications or ____ normal airbrake applications.

A

3, 6

(Maintenance must bleed system to return to normal operations)

NATOPS 16.7.2

29
Q

The function of the force link tab is to improve the elevator force gradient with airspeed when flying with an aft CG. T/F

A

True

(A spring tab on inboard of each elevator improves force gradient with airspeed when aft CG and with forward CG and full nose up trim, locks downward to improve CG minimum trim)

NATOPS 2.13.2.13

30
Q

The rudder boost system is equipped with a device which shuts off number two system hydraulic pressure to the rudder booster when the wing flaps are retracted above 60 percent. This device prevents:

A

excessive structural loads as a result of maximum rudder pressure at high speeds.

NATOPS 2.13.2.2, FO-14

31
Q

A RUDDER POWER light will illuminate (FLAPS UP) if:

A

The number one system fails.

NATOPS 2.13.2.3

32
Q

When fluid has been shut off to a booster package and a bypass has been established allowing fluid to flow around the actuating cylinder, the condition is known as:

A

boost off

36
Q

The maximum airspeed for retracting the landing gear is:

A

190 knots

38
Q

The maximum airspeed for flight with the landing gear extended is ____ knots.

A

300

NATOPS 4.6

39
Q

How do the wheels on the landing gear stop rotating when the gear is retracted?

A

By the in-flight braking system using a reduced pressure through the landing gear selector valve

40
Q

All hatches and doors can be opened from inside or outside of the aircraft. T/F

A

True

NATOPS p. 12-19, 12-3

41
Q

During normal taxi, turns should be controlled primarily with differential power. T/F

A

False

42
Q

When the indicator arrow on the nosewheel steering wheel points forward, you can be assured the nosewheel is straight. T/F

A

False

NATOPS 2.13.5

43
Q

The brake accumulator preload air charge pressure is ____ psi.

A

800

NATOPS 2.13.6.1

44
Q

Minimum air pressure for the emergency brake bottle before flight is ____ psi.

A

1900

A
  1. 0
    (0. 6 spent on brake accumulator)

NATOPS Fig 3-6

47
Q

With the brake accumulator fully charged, approximately ____ brake applications are available.

A

8

(Normal system = 8, Airbrake 3 full, 6 normal applications)

NATOPS 16.7.1
