A

gear not down & locked

Q

if manual extension access door is open ?

3 things

A

Q

is there landing gear lever lock?

what?

override?

in flight?

A

yes.

on the ground. prevents gear being selected up.

yes override switch bypasses lock.

in flight, air/ground solenoid will open lock

18
Q

when selected up, how do the main wheels stop spinning

A

during retraction the brakes automatically stop rotation

19
Q

main gear held up by?

A

mechanical up locks

20
Q

nose wheels retract forward or back?

21
Q

nose wheel stopped spinning by?

22
Q

nose wheel held.up by?

A

over center lock

enclosed by doors.which are mechanically linked to gear.

23
Q

gear extension

hyd system?

sequence? locks?

A

lever moved down.

Hyd sys A px used to release uplocks

gear extends by hyd px, gravity & airloads.

over center mech & hyd locks hold gear down

24
Q

if damaged main gear tyre? safety feature?

A

to avoid damaging components, if a spinning tyre with loose thread impacts the well opening retraction will stop.
free fall back to down position & unable to be retracted until replaced.

25
which Hyd system used for raising gear?
B through landing gear transfer unit. will do it at normal rate providing: - airborne - No 1 engine RPM drops below limit value - gear lever positioned up - either main gear is not up & locked.
26
can gear be normally retracted after a manual extension?
yes providing Hyd sys A px avaliable. - close manual extension door - move gear lever to down - move gear lever up.
27
will nose wheel steering deactivate at any point? what about depressurise?
yes when nose wheel strut extends yes when lockout pin is installed in towing lever. (allows pushback or towing without depressurising entire hyd system)
28
all wheels have brakes? powered by? included in system?
no, only mains Hyd sys B normal hyd sys A alternate (automatic) ``` normal sys ALT sys brake accumulator antiskid protection autobrake sys parking brake brake temp indication ```
29
brake accumulator px by? purpose?
Sys B if norm & ALT px lost? = trapped px in accumulator still enough for several applications or park brake application.
30
Anti skid provided on which sys? if total hyd sys loss?
both normal & ALT still works.
31
what does antiskid sys include? | 4
- skid - locked wheel - touchdown - hydroplane protection
32
how is normal vs ALT anti skid sys different?
norm = on EACH main gear. individually. ALT = applied to wheel PAIRS.
33
when anti skid sys detects a skid, what happens?
Anti skid valve on relevant wheels reduces brake px until skidding stops.
34
what's Autobrake sys? powered by?
- provides max deceleration for rejected TO - auto braking immediately after touchdown hyd sys B
35
Autobrake sys work on norm & ALT systems? simultaneous with anti skid?
no just normal. yes
36
to arm RTO mode prior to take off, what conditions? 5
- AC in gnd - antiskid & auto brake sys operational - AUTO BRAKE select switch on RTO - wheel speed less than 60kts - fwd thrust levers to IDLE
37
on selecting RTO mode on Autobrake sys, what should you see?
AUTO BRAKE DISARM light illuminates for couple of seconds then goes out. = self test successful.
38
what will Autobrake RTO mode do? speed?
max braking applied automatically when thrust levers retarded to idle. only above 90kts. below = sys remains armed, AUTO BRAKE DISARM light remains out.
39
when is RTO mode auto disarmed? will disarm light come on?
when air/gnd sys sense air mode. no
40
how to reset or manually DISARM Autobrake sys?
put switch to OFF.
41
if landing made with RTO sys selected, what will happen?
nothing.No auto braking will happen. AUTOBRAKE DISARM light will come on 2 sec after touchdown.
42
parking brake powered by which sys? if there's a fault which light might you see? safety feature for take off?
A or B or accumulator ANTISKID INOP part of take off config warning sys. if either thrust lvr is advance for TO, light & horn will sound.
