Landing Gear & Brakes Flashcards
Landing Gear and Brakes
Which hydraulic system supplies power for retraction, extension, and steering ?
The CENTER Hydraulic system.
Landing Gear and Brakes
How is the brake system powered ?
ELECTRICALLY.
It’s an Electro-mechanical brake system powered by the 28 V DC bus and main battery
Landing Gear and Brakes
How are the brakes controlled ?
The Electro-mechanical brake system is controlled by
4 Electric Brake Actuator Controllers (EBACs).
They trigger the Electric Brake Actuators (EBAs) on each wheel brake.
Landing Gear and Brakes
What deflection to the nosewheel does the rudder pedals provide ?
8° in either direction.
Landing Gear and Brakes
Above which speed is the auto brake available for a rejected takeoff ?
85 kts
Landing Gear and Brakes
What is the speed limitation for Gear extension and retraction ?
Same speed :
270 IAS / 0.82 Mach
Landing Gear and Brakes
What deflection does the nose wheel steering tiller gives ?
70° in either direction, summed with rudder pedal steering inputs (but still limited to 70° of travel).
Landing Gear and Brakes
Landing gear doors symbology :
What does a white crosshatch rectangle indicate ?
The gear is in transit.
Landing Gear and Brakes
Landing gear doors symbology :
What does a blank white rectangle indicate ?
The door signal is invalid.
Landing Gear and Brakes
What is the Brake temperature indication range ?
From 0.0 to 9.9 in increments of 0.1
EICAS Advisory message BRAKE TEMP is displayed above 4.9
Landing Gear and Brakes
Are there any air-ground logic sensors on the nosewheel beam ?
NO
The sensors are only on the main landing gear beams.
Landing Gear and Brakes
How do landing gears move during normal gear extension ?
The landing gears freefall without hydraulic power to the down and locked position.
Landing Gear and Brakes
How many brake actuators are there per wheel ?
There are 4 Electric Brake Actuators (EBAs) on each main landing gear wheel brake.
Landing Gear and Brakes
What controls the Electric Brake Actuators (EBAs) ?
The EBAs are controlled by an Electric Brake Actuator Controller (EBAC).
There are 4 EBACs that each control the brake force of a fore-aft wheel pair.
Landing Gear and Brakes
Are all brakes always simultaneously applied ?
NO
if wheel speeds are less than 70 kts, each manual brake application applies one half of the brakes on each main landing gear, alternating between wheel pairs at each brake application.
Note : the brake pedal must be fully released to transition to the other two brakes on a main landing gear.
