Q

What are three landing gear extension modes?

A

Q

When would you use the electrical override switch?

A

When the normal extension mode fails, the electrical override system bypasses the PSEM and energizes the landing gear selector allowing extension

Q

When the alternate gear extension lever is pulled, it does what?

Q

How are the brakes commanded?

A
  • Brake-by-wire
  • Electrically commanded, hydraulically actuated
  • Pedal position transducers send brake requests to the BCM (brake control module)

Q

What protections are provided for braking?

A
  • Touchdown: No braking until 3 secs or >50 knots wheel speed after touchdown
  • Anti-skid: compares when speeds and releases pressure (ions
25
Q

We have only 2 brake control modules (BCM). Which one controls which brakes?

A
  • BCM 1 controls outboard brakes (DC ESS BUS 1)

- BCM 2 controls inboard brakes (DC ESS BUS 2)

26
Q

When is locked wheel protection deactivated?

A

When the faster wheel speed

27
Q

Locked wheel protection compares wheel speed signals between which brakes?

A

Between the L and R inboard or L and R outboard brakes

28
Q

How many applications will the parking/emergency brake provide?

A

6 applications or 24 hours as a parking brake

29
Q

Is operation of the landing lights on the ground limited?

A

No

30
Q

Does the nose gear landing light and taxi light automatically extinguish with gear retraction?

A

Yes

31
Q

When is the anti skid system deactivated?

A

When the wheel speed is below 10 knots

32
Q

Anti skid protection is not available for which system?

A

Emergency/parking brake system

33
Q

How is the parking brake handle released from the fully actuated position?

A

Top button must be pressed

34
Q

How do you know that parking brake is set?

A

An ON light illuminates on the EMERG/PRKG BRAKE light

35
Q

What stops the wheels from spinning during retraction?

A
  • Main gear: BCM applies brakes after WOW

- Nose gear: snubbers in the nose bay stop the wheels

36
Q

What disengages the rudder pedal steering?

A

The activation of the nose wheel steering

37
Q

Which steering mode is used for high-speed control?

A

Rudder pedal steering mode

38
Q

When is the free wheel steering mode activated?

A

When the steering angle is greater than 76 degrees or there is a system failure

39
Q

How can you disengage nosewheel steering

A

By pressing the momentary action disengage button on the control wheel or raising the ground crew guarded switch

40
Q

What must be done to switch to free wheel steering mode?

A

Push the steering disengage switch

41
Q

When the steering disengage switch is activated disengaging the nosewheel steering system, how is the system re-engaged?

A

Steering handle must be momentarily be pushed down

42
Q

Which hydraulic system controls the nosewheel steering?

A

HYD2

43
Q

How far does the nosewheel turn (max) in either direction?

A

76 degrees but is reduced as speed increases

44
Q

What is the max nosewheel steering angle using the rudder pedals?

A

+- 7 degrees

45
Q

Does the tiller work on takeoff roll?

A

Yes but authority is decreased as a function of speed. Up to 76 degrees until 40 kts, decreasing to 7 degrees at 100 kts

46
Q

Is there ever a time when freewheel steering is automatically selected?

A

Yes, when steering angle is more than 76 degrees, failure of the WOW sensor or steering system failure is detected

47
Q

How can the towing lights on the nosewheel be tested

A

With a test switch on the back of the lights

48
Q

How does the ground crew know that the nosewheel is disengaged and towing is allowed?

A

There is a green towing permissible light on the nosewheel. The red towing not permissible light will engage when the nosewheel steering is not disengaged

49
Q

How many emergency/parking brakes do we have?

A

4

50
Q

The PF calls for the gear up, the PM states “gear up”, places the landing gear lever in the up position. The LG LEVER DISAG message is displayed on the EICAS, where would you find the procedure to deal with this message? Should you recycle the gear first?

A

In the QRH, No

51
Q

What are the limits for the nosewheel steering?

A
  • Angle varies with groundspeed
  • Up to 40 kts: 76 degrees
  • 41 to 100 kts: Decreases linearly from 76 to 7
52
Q

If the parking brake is used for landing instead of the main foot brakes, is there anti-skid protection?

A

No, anti-skid protection is only with the foot brakes

53
Q

How do you check the auto brakes?

A

On the 190, verify the AUTOBRAKES on EICAS shows OFF

54
Q

What conditions must be met for the Autobrakes to engage during a rejected takeoff?

A
  • Thrust levers IDLE or REV
  • Wheel speed above 60 kts
  • Brake pedals not pressed
55
Q

How are the auto brakes disarmed

A
  • Selector to OFF
  • Brake pedal pressure applied
  • Brake control system failure detected
  • Either thrust lever is advanced beyond idle during auto brake application
56
Q

After touchdown with auto brake use, how do ou verify normal operations of the braking system?

A

At 80 kts press the brake pedals to disengage the autopilot

57
Q

What are the max gear extension, retraction and operating speeds?

A

250 kts

58
Q

What does a red icon indicate on the landing gear position indicator?

A

A discrepancy between the landing hear lever position and the respective landing gear position
