How is the parking brake operated?
Push the brake pedals to build pressure in the line and then lock the hydraulic fluid on place by lifting the brake lever up. To release push brake pedals to equalize pressure and then push brake lever down.

An electric driven hydraulic pump.
What occurs when the flaps are set to 35 and the gear is still up?

Yes, because the gear motor runs off the center bus
How is the landing gear held in the fully retracted position?
By hydraulic pressure in the system
Where is the landing gear hydraulic accumulator located?
Left wheel well
To what pressure is the hydraulic landing gear accumulator pre-charged to?
800 psi
The brakes are plumbed ……., resulting in brake pressure from each pilot being……..?
series, cumulative
The retractable tricycle landing gear is …… controlled and ……. acuated?
electrically, hydraulically
What does the red landing gear control handle indicate?
