Landing Gear & Brakes Flashcards
What are the auto brake settings for landing?
LO MED HI
What is the auto brake setting for takeoff?
RTO
How can the pilot disconnect steering?
Pressing the steering disconnect switch on the yoke
What hydraulic systems should be pressurized for taxi?
HYD 1 and 2
What annunciation indicates the parking brake is set?
The EMRG/PRKG BRAKE light will be illuminated below the auto brake knob
What hydraulic system is required to extend the landing gear?
HYD 2
How can you extend the landing gear if engine 2 or EDP 2 failed?
PTU will assist landing gear extension and retraction
How many applications can the dedicated parking brake accumulator provide if hydraulics 1 and 2 are depressurized?
6
How are the landing gear and brakes powered?
Hydraulically
How can the pilot ensure steering is off?
STEER OFF on EICAS
How can the aircraft be steered?
With handwheel steering or rudder pedals but not at the same time
How can you reconnect the nose wheel steering?
Handwheel steering much be pressed down
What must the brake temperature indicate for takeoff?
Green
What does the landing gear electrical override switch allow for?
Bypass the gear sensor and evaluation computers and forces a hydraulically actuated gear extension.
When will auto brake set to RTO apply maximum braking?
If the wheel speed is above 60kts and the thrust levers are in IDLE or REV
When should you use the DN LOCK REL button
As directed by QRH or
As necessary to clear obstacles
If auto brakes are set to LO MED or HI, when are brakes applied and released?
2 seconds after weight on wheels
Brake pedals are pressed more than 20%
Prior to push back, the ground crew indicates there is still a red light. What could this mean?
Parking brake or STEER
What is the fastest way to stop the airplane?
Max manual brakes and thrust reversers
How can you disable the auto brakes during RTO?
Apply manual brake pressure
How many ways are there to lower the landing gear?
3
Normal
Free-fall
Override
Upon gear extension a suspected faulty PSEM causes a LG LEVER DISAG, how would the QRH instruct you to lower the landing gear?
With the electrical override switch
If hydraulic 1 and 1 failed, ho would you lower the landing gear?
With the alternate gear extension lever
What button should you push after normally lowering the gear?
“ATTND CALL”
What will happen if you manually apply brakes while auto brakes are in use?
The auto brakes will disengage
What protective braking features are used
Locked wheel
Anti-skid
Automatic wheel braking
What auto brake settings are used for landing?
OFF LO MED HI
What auto brake setting is used for takeoff?
RTO
What is the fastest way to stop the plane?
Maximum manual brakes and thrust reversers
What settings should be briefed for stopping on a contaminated runway?
Auto brakes MED and trust reversers
Fastest way to disengage auto brakes?
Manual brakes
What is anti-skid?
Protects from skidding
What is locked wheel protecting?
Stops the braking if there is a difference in wheel speed
When should you press the GND PROX G/S INHB button?
Procedure directed or airport not in database
If the inboard and outboard brakes fail, how can you use the parking brake?
The emergency accumulator allows for 6 applications
Does the parking brake provide wheel protection?
No wheel protection
When do we press DN LOCK REL?
When required for terrain clearance
How many ways to put landing gear down?
3 - Landing gear handle, Alternate handle, free fall
What does the landing gear electrical override switch do?
Bypasses PSEM
