Landing Gear Flashcards
How many seconds for extension and retraction of landing gear?
5 sec
Legs of landing gear are kept in close position by
Hydraulic (pressure in the actuator)
Mechanical (locked doors where gear is housed)
Landing gear is kept in open position by
Hydraulic
Mechanical detent incorporated in the actuating cylinder
When the red landing gear lever light illuminates?
Position of the gear is not consistent with position of the lever
RPM<62% below 10.000ft at speed of 165KIAS or below
Landing gear is moving
Emergency extension
Power for landing gear lights and audio warning signal is supplied by
Essential bus
In which cases we are not able to lower the gear with main system?
Hydraulic failure
Electrical failure
What happens when I pull emergency gear extension handle?
Pressure in the line of speedbrake drops, then it is retracted by aerodynamic effect
When extending the gear with emergency system
Gear doors stay open
Red handle light remains illuminated
How long does it take emergency landing gear extension?
20 sec
Where does pressure for emergency gear extension come from?
Emergency hydraulic accumulator
In case of hydraulic pump failure, with still enough pressure in the main system, what allows braking action?
Pressure stored in the main accumulator
Emergency hydraulic system provides pressure for
Emergency landing gear extension
Emergency braking
The anti-skid system is inoperative below what speed?
15kts
Name and explain the 3 anti-skid protections
Touch down protection
Locked wheel protection
Spin up override
Spin up override is used when
Airborne/ground microswitch is faulty, and Touch Down protection remains active after landing
In what case (other than malfunction) the anti-skid system is inoperative?
In case of emergency brake system
Angle of action of NWS
56º
The NWS system is
Electrically controlled (button on the stick)
Hydraulically actuated
NWS is active only
When on ground
