Landing Gear and Brakes Flashcards
Where does the crew look to verify that the parking brake is on?
Confirm on the ECAM Memo
What is the purpose of the brake check accomplished immediately after the aircraft start moving?
Checks brake efficiency, confirms green pressure has taken over and that yellow pressure is zero on
the triple indicator.
If AUTO BRK is displayed in green, what is indicated?
Auto Brake is armed.
What does the UNLK light in the LDG GEAR indicate?
UNLK in red indicates gear is not locked in selected position, or in transition.
What does “HOT” in the BRK FAN light indicate?
Illuminates when brakes are to hot, accompanied by ECAM.
Will the lights on the LDG GEAR panel illuminate if LGCIU #1 is not powered?
No, LGCIU 1 must be supplied with power for the LDG GEAR panel to illuminate.
Does the alternate brake system have same capabilities as normal brakes?
The alternate brake system has the same capabilities, as normal brakes except auto brakes are
inoperative.
Is nose wheel steering available with green hydraulic pressure inoperative?
On basic aircraft no. On enhanced aircraft yes because NWS is operated by the yellow hydraulic
system.
When using the alternate brake system on accumulator pressure only, how many brake applications can the pilot
expect.
When using the alternate brake system on accumulator pressure only, the accumulator supplies at
least seven full brake applications.
What is the maximum degree of nose wheel steering available when using the hand wheel?
Maximum degree of nose wheel steering available using the hand wheel is +/- 75°
When using the rudder pedals for nose wheel steering, the steering angle starts to reduce what speed and
progressively reduces to zero degrees at ____kts?
When using the rudder pedals for nose wheel steering, the steering angle starts to reduce at 40 kts.
and progressively reduces to zero degrees at 130 kts.
The green DECEL light on the autobrake switch illuminates when the actual airplane deceleration corresponds to
what percent of the selected rate?
The green DECEL light on the autobrake switch illuminates when the actual airplane deceleration
corresponds to 80% of the selected rate.
When is the antiskid system automatically deactivated?
Below 20 knots.
When is brake pressure applied to the brakes during landing using the LO setting? MED?
LO, 4 seconds after ground spoiler extension; MED 2 seconds after ground spoiler extension.
Are there any operations described in the Airbus Pilot Handbook that requires the use of MAX autobrakes during
landing?
No.
Is the anti-skid system operational with yellow alternates brakes?
The anti-skid system may or may not be available with alternate brakes.
What does the RED ARROW indicate on landing gear panel?
Landing gear is not locked down when the aircraft is in the landing configuration.
The brake pressure indication on Triple Pressure Indicator reads which system pressure?
The brake pressure indication on Triple Pressure Indicator reads yellow system pressure.
Which hydraulic system does the parking brake use?
Yellow
When the parking brake is ON, is the anti-skid active?
No
