Landing Gear and Brakes Flashcards
The normal, full-charge indication of the parking brake accumulator is:
3000 PSI @ 70 degrees F
How are the wheel well doors opened in preparation for the exterior preflight
inspection?
Through the auxiliary hydraulic pump, by activating the ground service
valve after the door pins have been inserted
During the exterior preflight inspection, what is the minimum acceptable reading for the brake accumulator pre-charge?
1200 psi at 70˚ F
How do you check the parking brake accumulator pre-charge?
Chock the aircraft and bleed off pressure by cycling the parking brake handle, or operate the dump valve in the nose wheel well
During the exterior preflight inspection, what is the minimum acceptable reading for the emergency landing gear extension air bottle?
3000 psi at 70˚ F
What is the function of the landing gear emergency reset handle?
To reset the 3 landing gear dump valves to hydraulic operation
Why must the nutcracker test switch not be pressed while on the ground?
Depressing the test switch simulates the nutcracker in-flight condition, which affects many airplane systems including momentarily unlocking the landing gear handle downlock solenoid
If the gear does not retract after takeoff but the handle moves to the “UP” position, what is the likely cause?
The landing gear pins have not been removed from the gear struts
Go to the QRH
With “BRAKE FAIL” CAS message, what is a likely result upon landing?
A complete loss of normal pedal braking
In a GIV with a brake-by-wire system, what is the recommended procedure if an “ANTI-SKID FAIL” CAS message illuminates during landing roll-out?
Turn off the anti-skid switch below 100kt
In a GIV with a HMAB brake system, what is the recommended procedure if an “ANTI-SKID FAIL” CAS message illuminates during landing roll-out?
Leave the anti-skid switch “ON”, as there may still be anti-skid protection on one pair of wheels (inboard or outboard)
If the landing gear handle is in the “UP” position, what is indicated by a red light in the handle?
One or more of the landing gear doors are not closed
If the landing gear handle is in the “DOWN” position, what is indicated by a red light in the handle?
One or more of the landing gear struts are not down and locked
How many emergency landing gear extensions are available with a fully
charged (3000 psi) nitrogen bottle?
One
What systems would be affected if the nutcracker system failed to shift to the
air mode after takeoff? (4)
- Landing gear will not retract
- Ground spoilers will deploy with switch armed and power levers at idle
- Thrust reversers can be deployed in flight
- Pressurization will remain at 0.25 psid and the cabin will climb at approximately same rate as aircraft
