Landing Gear Flashcards
Should Hydraulic System B fail, what braking is available?
Alternate brakes with antiskid, accumulator pressure and no auto brakes.
What is the purpose of the Landing Gear Transfer Unit?
Uses System B hydraulics to raise the gear if No.1 engine fails
How may the Auto brake be disarmed after landing?
Lowered Speed brake lever, manual braking, advancing thrst lever. The AUTO BRAKE DISARM will illuminate. Switching off will turn the caption off.
If the landing gear indication fails, how can the position of the main landing gear be confirmed?
Separate set of green lights of Aft Overhead (separate system)
Should system A hydraulics fail, what braking action is available?
Normal brakes with full anti-skid and auto brakes
If system A hydraulics fail, how can the landing gear be lowered?
By pulling the manual extension handles under a panel in the flight deck floor.
What criteria have to be met for the autobrake system to activate during a rejected takeoff?
Wheel speed greater than 90kts and thrust levers closed.
When is normal nose wheel steering available via the rudder pedals?
With system A pressure available, the landing gear selected down and the nose leg compressed but can be overridden by the steering tiller
How is the main landing gear prevent from rotating as they are retracted?
The brakes are applied when the landing gear is selected up (aux braking)
What conditions are required to initiate LGTU to raise landing gear
Airborne, No1 Engine below RPM limits, Gear lever UP, Either main gear not up and locked
What indication in the flightdeck that alternate braking is in operation
None!
What braking is available when both normal and alt braking is lost?
Accumulator (good for several braking applications) with some anti-skid and parking brake application
