Q

After opening the gear doors for
preflight, what must be accomplished
to put the airplane back into “ready

A

Close all gear doors and select Normal on
LGCMP; otherwise, plane will remain in
MX mode and gear will not retract on
departure.

Q

What’s the pressure on a fully
serviced emergency landing gear
extension bottle?

A

3,000 psi at 70°F/21°C; enough for only
one extension of landing gear

Q

What happens if an uplock is found in
wrong position during preflight and
aux pump pressure is applied?

A

The hook snaps to correct position: there’s
no preflight requirement to make sure
they’re open.

Q

What’s the purpose of disconnecting
torque link from NWS unit during
towing?

A

It prevents damage to NWS unit from over
travel. With steering unit torque links
disconnected, nose wheels are free to
rotate 360°

Q

Describe WOW system.

A

Two proximity sensors are installed on
each landing gear and provide WOW
indications.

16
Q

How many landing gear dump valves
are there?

A

Two: one for nose and one for mains

17
Q

After performing an emergency
extension, Nose Gear and Main Gear
illuminates in blue inside Dump Valve
switches. What does this indicate?

A

Dump valve movement from hydraulics to pneumatic position.

18
Q

What happens when Dump Valve
switches are pressed?

A

Dump valves are electrically placed in
hydraulic position and blue switch labels
change to white

19
Q

Describe what happens when EMER
LDG GEAR handle is pulled?

A

Emergency air release valve opens and
releases compressed nitrogen into landing
gear extension system

20
Q

What happens when EMER LDG
GEAR handle is returned to stowed
position?

A

Nitrogen pressure releases from actuators
and exhausts overboard through vent on
right side of nose wheel well adjacent to
NLG doors

21
Q

What’s the position of landing gear
doors following an emergency
extension?

A

Open

22
Q

Describe sources of hydraulics for
normal braking.

A

Inboard brakes are powered by hydraulics
from left system, PTU or aux system.
Without source of hydraulics, inboard
accumulator is available for use through
toe brakes as well as parking brake.
Outboard brakes are powered by
hydraulics from right hydraulic system.
Without source of hydraulics, outboard
accumulator is available for use through
toe brakes as well as parking brake.

23
Q

Describe sources of hydraulics for
parking brake.

A

Parking brake uses pressure from left and
right hydraulic systems (i.e., left system
for inboard and right system for outboard).
In the absence of left or right system
pressure, it uses accumulator pressure
which is charged from left and right
hydraulic systems. Important note: if you
select AUX pump to ON during ground
operations without engines running, only
the left (inboard) parking brake
accumulator is charged.

24
Q

What happens if both pilots are
providing brake input?

A

Greater input wins

25
Q

With RTO enabled for takeoff, when
would you get anti-skid limited
braking during an abort?

A

> 80 knots

26
Q

What’s the purpose of brake fuses?

A

They shut off applied brake fluid in case
of line rupture and fluid loss downstream

27
Q

Each MLG wheel has dedicated brake
assembly which functions as normal
toe brakes and parking brakes. What
other functions do they perform?

A

Provides main wheel de-spin during
retraction of landing gear

28
Q

When parking brake is set, what
component ensures the pressure
coming from outboard accumulator is
equal to or slightly less than pressure
coming from inboard accumulator?

A

Repeater valve

29
Q

How is brake life determined during
preflight?

A

“Life remaining” is determined by wear
pin indicator (2 per brake assembly)
attached to the end of stator. The amount
of protrusion indicates the amount of life
remaining in heat stack (parking brake
must be set for proper indication).

30
Q

How does basic antiskid work?

A

It’s accomplished by comparing individual
wheel deceleration rates to predetermined
ideal reference deceleration

31
Q

Below what speed is antiskid
protection not available?

A

10 knots

32
Q

How does touchdown protection
work?

A

Zero brake pressure is applied until wheel
speed > 70 knots or WOW plus five (5)
seconds.

33
Q

Why is brake pressure applied during
gear extension and retraction?

A

During gear extension to check system
health and during retraction to control rate
of wheel spin down

34
Q

What does Gulfstream recommend to
hold the aircraft for extended periods
of time?

A

Always chock the aircraft: parking brake
is not designed to hold aircraft for
extended periods of time.

35
Q

What happens if nose wheel steering
power is selected to OFF?

A

Nose wheel is free to caster in passive
mode, responding to tracking forces of
differential braking or engine power
settings

36
Q

What happens when pedal steering
switch is selected to OFF?

A

Rudder pedal steering is disabled

37
Q

What does a NWS popped overtravel
indicator indicate?

A

That steering unit was forced beyond
normal travel range and maintenance is
required

38
Q

What’s the purpose of variable gain?

A

It helps to prevent the pilot from over
controlling the nose wheel steering.
