Landing Gear Flashcards
Triangle indications on the ECAM WHEEL page.
Indicates the position and condition of the landing gear as independently detected by each LGCIU.
The forward set represents the status of the gear as detected by the active LGCIU.
The rear set represents the status of the gear as detected by the standby LGCIU.
Indications of landing gear detected down and locked.
Forward set of LGCIU’s on ECAM are green.
Three green triangles on landing gear panel.
LDG GEAR DN on the E/WD memo section.
Meaning of a red UNLK lights on the LDG GEAR panel
That specific gear is not detected as being locked in selected position.
What is indicated by the illumination of the red arrow on the Landing Gear Selector Lever panel.
Aircraft in landing configuration below 750 AGL and gear is not down and locked.
Recall the operation of GRAVITY GEAR EXTN hand crank.
Lift breaking the security wire.
Turn three times clockwise
Recall how the Brake and Steering Control Unit (BSCU) is activated.
Placing the A/SKID and N/W STRG switch to ON
What is indicated by the NW STRG DISC display on the E/WD memo section.
NW steering inhibited when the tow lever on the nose gear is moved to TOW
NW STRG DISC (green) both engines shutdown
NW STRG DISC (amber) at least one engine is running
Recall the controls for Nose Wheel Steering.
▪ Tiller wheels on the CA’s and FO’s side consoles
▪ Rudder pedals
▪ Autopilot during auto landings
Recall the possible Anti- Skid braking configurations.
▪ Normal brakes with antiskid (Green hydraulic pressure).
▪ Alternate brakes with antiskid (Yellow hydraulic pressure).
What is indicated on ACCU-PRESS and BRAKES gauge.
ACCU PRESS: green band is fully charged
BRAKES: green band is normal brake pressure without anti-skid.
Recall the location and meaning of brake temperature indications
ECAM WHEEL page
Green arc appears over wheel with hottest brake > 100 C
Amber arc appears > 300 C
Recall the meaning of the Release indicators on the ECAM WHEEL page.
o Horizontal green lines appear:
▪ Temporarily when the landing gear is lowered to indicate that
the individual wheel brake is released and antiskid is armed.
▪ Reappear after touchdown along with the REL display when anti-skid is active.
Minimum ground speed required for Autobrake activation.
72 kts
Recall the function of each Autobrake pb selection.
LO: brake pressure 4 seconds after ground spoilers
MED: brake pressure 2 seconds after ground spoilers
MAX: brake pressure immediately during ground spoilers
Meaning of the DECEL (green) indication on an AUTO BRK pb.
Aircraft’s actual decel is within 80% of selected rate
Indications of the Parking Brake being applied.
PARK BRK on E/WD memo section
ACCU PRESS gauge shows approx 2,000 psi
