Landing Gear & Brakes

Question 1

When the wing flaps are beyond the 40% (APPROACH) position, the warning horn sounds if:

A. Both power levers are retarded below a specified setting
B. Either power lever is retarded below a specified setting
C. Any one gear is not down and locked and power levers are below 80% N1 position.
D. Any one gear is not down and locked, regardless of power lever setting

Answer 1

D. Any one gear is not down and locked, regardless of power lever setting

Question 2

2. If the wing flaps are up or at 40% (APPROACH) position, the warning horn sounds if:

A. Either or both power levers are retarded below a specified power setting
B. Both power levers are retarded below a specified setting and any one gear is not down and locked
C. Either or both power levers are retarded below a specified setting and any one gear is not down and locked
D. There is no other requirement

Answer 2

C. Either or both power levers are retarded below a specified setting and any one gear is not down and locked

Question 3

3. If the rudder pedals are deflected with the aircraft stationary:

A. The nosewheel steers, the rudder does not move
B. The spring-loaded link in the system compresses, the nosewheel does not steer
C. The nosewheel does not steer and the rudder does not move
D. The nosewheel steers and the rudder moves

Answer 3

B. The spring-loaded link in the system compresses, the nosewheel does not steer

Question 4

4. When the PARKING BRAKE handle is pulled:

A. Two master cylinders are mechanically actuated, applying the brakes
B. The parking brake valve is actuated to trap pressure from that point to brake assemblies
C. Two master cylinders, already actuated, are mechanically held in that position
D. The parking brake valve is mechanically actuated to build pressure for brake application

Answer 4

WAG

C. Two master cylinders, already actuated, are mechanically held in that position

Question 5

5. The landing gear is held retracted by:

A. Mechanical uplock mechanisms
B. Continuously applied hydraulic pressure
C. Internal uplock mechanisms in all three gear actuators
D. Spring tension

Answer 5

B. Continuously applied hydraulic pressure

Question 6

6. The landing gear is locked down by:

A. Continuously applied hydraulic pressure
B. Internal downlock mechanisms in all three gear actuators
C. An internal lock in the nose gear actuator and overcenter drag brace (nose gear) or by mechanical downlock mechanisms on the drag braces (main gear)
D. Bungees

Answer 6

C. An internal lock in the nose gear actuator and overcenter drag brace (nose gear) or by mechanical downlock mechanisms on the drag braces (main gear)

Question 7

7. With the aircraft airborne, positioning the LDG GEAR CONTROL switch handle UP:

A. Completes a circuit to the UP solenoid of the gear selector valve
B. Completes a circuit to the pump motor relay, pulling in 28 VDC to start the pump motor
C. A and B
D. None of the above

Answer 7

WAG

C. A and B

Question 8

8. When the landing gear is fully retracted, the electrically driven hydraulic pump:

A. Stops, and does not start again
B. Stops, but cycles as required
C. Operates continuously
D. Continues to operate for five minutes, then stops

Answer 8

B. Stops, but cycles as required
