During gear movement, what happens if any gear position disagrees with lever position after normal transit time?

EICAS changes to non-normal format
Affected gear displays as in transit
Displays UP if never unlocked

Alternate gear extension sequence?

Push alternate gear extend switches
Gear uplocks/door latches electrically released
Gear free falls
Gravity extends gear
Springs pull downlocks into locked position
Gear doors remain open

How does normal anti-skid provide protection?

Provides anti-skid to each main gear wheel individually. When skid is detected, associated valve reduces brake pressure.

How does alternate anti-skid system provide protection?

Provides protection to lateral wheel pairs rather than individually.

Brake torque limiter function in Alternate brake system?

Brake torque is sensed on individual wheel basis however, brake pressure released on laterally paired wheel basis

When do autobrakes apply after landing?

On Ground
Wheels spun up
All TL CLOSED

Ways to disarm autobrakes after landing?

Pedals
TL advance
Speedbrake Lever to DOWN
Selector to DISARM or OFF
Autobrake fault
Antiskid fault

Brake accumulator HYD SYS?

SYS 4

Why is HYD SYS 4 pressurized first?

Precludes the transfer of hydraulic fluid from SYS 1 or 2 into SYS 4 when parking brake is set and released.

First HYD SYS pressurized will always return a small amount of fluid to HYD SYS 4

What value causes BRAKE TEMP message on EICAS?

Greater than or EQUAL TO 5 units

Is autobrake system available when alternate braking system is in use?

No, only primary.

All gear doors contain both ____ and ____ actuation?

Hydraulic and Mechanical: - Wing Gear = 1 HYD & 1 MECH - Body Gear = 1 HYD & 2 MECH - Nose = 2 HYD & 2 MECH

Landing gear DOWN sequence of events?

- Doors open - Gear are unlocked - Gear hydraulically powered DOWN - Door close - Main gear trucks tilt to flight position

What EICAS landing gear position displays when alternate extension system is used?

Expanded gear position indication.

Nosewheel and body gear steering HYD SYS?

HYD SYS 1

What happens to body gear as speed increases through 20 knots?

Hydraulically centered

Do nose wheel have brakes installed?

Normal braking HYD SYS?

HYD SYS 4

If HYD SYS 4 pressure is low for braking, what happens?

HYD SYS 1 supplies pressure to the alternate brake hydraulic system.

Placing AUTOBRAKES selector in DISARM does what?

- Disengages autobrake | - Releases brake pressure

Brake temp values on EICAS range from?

0 to 9

With regards to gear position indications, white crosshatch means?

In transit

AUTOBRAKES are only available when what braking system is functioning?

Primary, meaning HYD SYS 4 providing system pressure.

Is antiskid protection provided during AUTOBRAKE operation?

Yes, of course you idiot.

Alternate braking system simply means?

HYD SYS 4 was low and HYD SYS 1 is now providing pressure to braking system.

AUTOBRAKE upon landing provides braking until?

Complete stop or system disarmed.

When AUTOBRAKE system is disarmed upon landing (by using pedals braking for instance), where does selector move to?

DISARM

Where does AUTOBRAKE selector move to during takeoff?

Remain in RTO, even if disarmed. Moves to OFF after takeoff.

What decides which HYD SYS controls braking application?

Pressure operated selected valves

Is the RTO function of the AUTOBRAKES system available under 85 knots?

Difference between OFF and DISARM switch positions on AUTOBRAKE PANEL?

- OFF will disarm and reset system | - DISARM will disarm system and release all brake pressure to the wheels.

When do AUTOBRAKES engage after touchdown?

- Weight on wheels - Wheels spin up - ALL Thrust Levers CLOSED
