What does the UNLK light in that LDG GEAR indicate?

Will the lights on the LDG GEAR panel illuminate if LGCIU #1 is not powered?
No
Does the alternate brake system have the same capabilities as normal brakes?
All except for Auto Brakes
Is nosewheel steering available with green hydraulic pressure inoperative?
Only on advanced aircraft, where NWS is operated by the yellow hydraulic system
When using the alternate brake system on accumulator pressure only, how many brake applications can pilot expect?
Seven full brake applications
What is the maximum degree of nosewheel steering available when using the hand wheel?
+/- 75 deg
When using the rudder pedals for the nose wheel steering, the steering angle starts to reduce what speed and progressively reduces to 0° at ___ knots?
The steering angle starts to reduce at 40 knots and progressively reduces to 0° at 130 knots
The green DECEL light on the autobrake switch illuminates when the actual airplane deceleration corresponds to what percent of the selected rate?
80%
When is it antiskid system automatically deactivated?
Below 20 knots
When is brake pressure applied to the brakes during landing using the low setting? MED?
In LO, 4 seconds after ground spoiler extension; in MED, 2 seconds after ground spoiler extension
