Landing Flashcards
What should you do on landing roll if all gear are fully down (verified by chase or other visual means) but one or more are indicating unsafe?
Stop straight ahead on the runway and have the gear safety pins installed
What prevents the HUD from transitioning to gear-down symbology when the landing gear is lowered?
An unsafe nose gear indication in the RCP
Can you attempt a landing on a main landing gear that is missing its wheel assembly?
No
Can you land with gear up with a WSSP installed?
Yes, if the WSSP is empty/soft or nonflammable
How long does landing gear alternate extension take?
Approximately 15-35 seconds
General checklist flow for unsafe landing gear/landing gear alternate gear extension
- Airspeed - 240 KCAS or less
- Flaps - AR
- Gear door switch - open
- Landing gear level - LG DN
- Landing gear alternate release handle - pull (HOLD till hear locks then STOW)
- Gear position - check
After alternate gear extension, if the landing gear still fails to extend and UTILITY HYDRAULIC pressure is available - what is the general checklist flow?
- Landing gear lever - LG UP (MOMENTARILY), THEN DOWN
- Landing gear alternate extension - REPEAT
- Landing gear - RECYCLE
If unsafe gear indication remains after repeated attempts at alternate gear extension - what is the general checklist flow?
- Generators - OFF
- Battery switch - OFF
- Landing gear alternate release handle - PULL
- Battery and generators - ON
- Gear position - check
What bulbs can you replace the landing gear indication bulbs with?
The takeoff trim indicator bulb or the boost pump lights (RCP)
General checklist flow if all alternate gear extension attempts have been unsuccessful including turning off electronics and turning them back on - all gear must have remained up and locked throughout all of the normal and emergency lowering attempts
- Gear door switch - check open
- Throttle gate - disengage
- Throttle (left engine) - off
- Control stick - rapid lateral stick movements to deplete utility hydraulic pressure
- Landing gear lever - LG DN
- Landing gear alternate release handle - PULL
- Gear position - check (if indications are still unsafe, landing lever up, then down.
- Left engine - restart
- Throttle gate - engage
Recommended action with actual gear condition of nose up and main both down
LAND
Recommended action with actual gear condition of nose up and mains both up
LAND
Recommended action with actual gear condition of nose-up and mains-one down?
EJECT
Recommended action with actual gear condition of nose-down and mains-both up?
EJECT
Recommended action with actual gear condition of nose-down and mains-one down?
EJECT
General checklist flow for landing with all gear up
- Gear - up
- CABIN PRESS switch - RAM DUMP
- Shoulder harness - LOCK
- Speed brake - OPEN
- FLAPS - FULL DOWN (fly a power-on approach requiring minimum flare)
- Throttle gate disengage
- Landing pattern - normal, plan to touch down about 10 knots fast
- Throttles - OFF AT TOUCHDOWN
- Battery switch - OFF
General checklist flow for landing with nose gear up/unsafe
- CABIN PRESS switch - RAM DUMP
- Shoulder harness - LOCK
- FLAPS - Full Down
- Throttle gate - disengage
- Landing pattern - normal
- Throttles - idle at touchdown
- Nose - gently lower to runway
If nose gear indicates unsafe:
- Wheel brakes - as required
- Be careful with them because the nose gear might still collapse
If nose gear is up or collapses after lowering nose to the runway:
- Throttles - OFF, when nose touches runway
- Wheel brakes - as required
- Battery switch - off
Approximate landing distance for no flap
2*(2500+fuel) + TD point
What is the appropriate action if a tire skid is detected on landing roll?
Immediately release brakes and cautiously reapply
Maximum speed for single engine non-precision, radar, or ILS approaches during approach maneuvering prior to extending the gear
300 KCAS
Delay lowering landing gear until ____ if heavy fuel loads, engine anti-ice operation, turbulence, or other conditions cause single-engine MIL thrust to be inadequate for gear down level flight at recommended airspeeds.
just prior to the glideslope
If you are flying a single engine approach and you need to execute a missed approach, what should you do?
Use the procedure for SINGLE-ENGINE GO-AROUND
On a single engine go, when should you “rotate” the aircraft?
At final approach speed or as required to become airborne prior to the end of the runway, whichever comes first
If unable to retract the landing gear on a single-engine go-around, best level flight/climb capability is obtained at ____ KCAS with 60% flaps and ____ KCAS with flaps up.
200 / 220
On a single-engine go at high gross weight with gear extended, flap retraction should not be initiated prior to ___ KCAS
220
When can you raise the gear on a single-engine go?
As required above final approach speed
If left engine is inoperative but windmilling, generally, gear retraction may be accomplished, but will take an extended period of time. Gear retraction, when initiated between final approach speed and 200 KCAS, may require up to how long?
1 minute
When can you raise flaps on a single-engine go around?
As required above 200 KCAS
What is the sixth and final step of the single-engine go-around checklist?
Engine anti ice - as required
General checklist flow for single-engine landing
- Landing gear - check down
- Flaps - 60% (set on final prior to descent)
- Flaps - DN when landing is assured (optional)
How long does gear extension take with windmilling utility hydraulics?
“slightly longer”
If you have a blown tire or locked brake, what side of the runway should you land on?
Land on the side of the runway opposite the malfunction
“Put the drag in the center”
If one brake fails, or failure is suspected, what side of the runway should you land on?
Land in the center and use a combination of braking and nosewheel steering to stop the aircraft
Single-engine holding at or above ____ cannot be accomplished with more than ____ lbs fuel remaining
FL200
1800 lbs
Single-engine radar-approach pattern requires approximately ____ lbs of fuel
325
When there are gusts, which speeds do you increase and by how much?
Increase final approach and touchdown speed by 1/2 the gust factor
