Landing Gear & Brakes Flashcards
How many air/ground sensors does the aircraft have?
6 total - 2 on each landing gear unit
PSEU
Proximity Switch Electronics Unit - receives info from the air/ground sensors and in turn helps control several aircraft systems/functions
The red indicator lights indicate that the landing gear is in disagreement with the ___________ position.
Landing gear lever
The red lights also illuminate when the landing gear is not down and locked, with either thrust lever at ____ and the aircraft below _____ feet AGL.
idle, 800
Overcenter ________ and _________ locks hold the landing gear at full extension.
mechanical, hydraulic
___________ provides fluid for the landing gear system.
Hydraulic System A
Nose Wheel steering is normally powered by ________ and alternate powered by __________
Hydraulic System A, Hydraulic System B
T/F: Normally, hydraulic System B supplies the pressure for the brakes, and hydraulic System A supplies an alternate source.
True. (system A pressure is automatic if B fails)
T/F: Both autobrakes and antiskid are available when using the alternate braking system
False. Antiskid is available. Autobraking is inoperative
The hydraulic brake accumulator pre-charge pressure is…
1,000 psi
Hydraulic brake accumulator pressure can be found on the …
HYD BRAKE PRESSURE indicator on the right forward panel
T/F: The normal brake system provides antiskid protection to each individual main landing gear wheel.
True
T/F: Antskid protection is available even with the loss of both hydraulic systems
True
During a takeoff roll, the RTO mode (autobrake system) automatically applies maximum brake pressure when thrust levers are retarded to idle at or above ________
