Landing Gear Flashcards
What would cause the warning horn to sound when the throttles are pulled back, reducing the engine power for landing?
The warning horn will sound if any of the landing gears are not down and locked.
What is indicated by a red light in the landing gear position-indication portion of the annunciator panel?
The red light indicates that the landing gear is not in a safe condition for landing.
What information is given to a pilot to indicate that all of the landing gears are down and locked?
Three green lights are used on most aircraft to indicate that all three landing gears are down and locked.
What is the function of a wheel speed sensor in a anti-skid brake system?
The wheel speed sensor is a DC generator that is used to produce a voltage proportional to wheel speed. Rotational speed change in excess of programmed parameters will engage the anti-skid data.
What are the three basic brake actuating systems?
a. An independent system not part of the aircraft main hydraulic system.
b. A booster system that uses the aircraft hydraulic system intermittently.
c. A power brake system that only uses the aircraft main hydraulic system as a source of pressure.
