Q

Describe an alternate extension.

A
  • Electric motor trips locking mechanism for each gear.
  • Seleting DN on the ALTN GEAR EXTEND switch releases all unlocks and doors.
  • Gravity to down and locked.
  • DOORS remain open, and lights remain ON.

Q

What does the Brake Pressure Dial measure?

A
  • Accumulator pressure, and indirectly, R HYD System and Normal Brake Pressure.
  • Should be above amber.
  • Should allow for several brake applications.

Q

What does the Alternate Brake System include?

A
  • Alternate Metering Valves.
  • Alternate antiskid valves (axel for axel).
  • No Autobrake.
17
Q

How does antiskid work?

A

Controllers compare wheel/axel speed in relation to IRS GS, and release pressure into a relief line, as appropriate.

18
Q

Describe Autobrakes.

A
  • Normal is 2.
  • If Autoland, 3 or more.
  • If Braking action less than good, 4 or Max.
  • System is designed to produce a RATE OF DECELERATION.
  • Deactivates when Manual Brake force is applied, Selected OFF, Thrust applied, or for a FAULT. (Speedbrakes?)
19
Q

What are the relative application of braking actions by different systems?

A
  • RTO - full application of all 3000 psi.
  • MAX Auto is pretty stiff.
  • Max Manual depends, but definitely less than RTO.
20
Q

When will a BRK SOURCE light illuminate? What Happens?

A
  • R HYD and ALTN Brakes (C HYD Low Press) FAIL.
  • ISLN Valve Automatically Closes.
  • Press RSRV BRK and STEERING provides fluid and activates the C1 HYD Pump.
  • BRAKE SOURCE Light should extinguish.
  • If not, you’re down to the accumulator (still has antiskid)
21
Q

When is RTO Armed?

A

Above 85 kts. (Automatic when thrust levers are retarded to Idle above 85 kts.)

22
Q

Describe Autobrake Landing Operation.

A
  • Activates when the wheels have spun up and both thrust levers are retarded to idle.
  • 5 deceleration rates.
  • Autobrake level can be changed without disarming the system.
  • Autobrake pressure reduced to maintain chosen rate when/if other systems (reversers and spoilers) are deployed.
23
Q

Auto brake disarm.

A
  1. Manual Pedal brake application.
  2. Either thrust lever advanced.
  3. Spoiler lever moved from full up position.
  4. Selected OFF/Disarm.
  5. Autobrake Fault.
  6. Antiskid Fault.
