Q

The brake control unit commands a brake pressure of ______ for _______ seconds during retraction to ensure main wheels have stopped spinning as they enter the bay?

A

350 psi for 4 seconds

17
Q

What is installed to slow the retraction of the nose landing gear?

A

A restrictor in the up hydraulic line for smoother retraction and less noise

18
Q

During a manual release, what assists in the extension of the main landing gear?

A

Auxiliary extend actuators

19
Q

What assists the nose gear in extending during a manual release?

A

Gravity and spring forces

20
Q

During a manual extension, the manual selector valve admits pressure from __________ to both auxiliary extend actuators to assist the main landing gear into downlock?

A

The right hydraulic system supported by an accumulator

21
Q

After a landing following an actual gear failure, what must occur?

22
Q

What is the maximum speed for the tires?

A

182 knots

23
Q

What does each channel of the brake control system actually control?

A

One channel controls braking and antiskid operation for the inboard wheels while the second channel controls the outboard wheels

24
Q

What conditions must the brake control system detect to apply hydraulic pressure on landing?

A

Either left or right WOW input from proximity sensors for more than 5 seconds or
Wheel spin-up greater than 50 knots
