Landing Gear System Flashcards
To ensure correct amount of fluid
Collapse the strut and ensure fluid level is at the filler hole
Proper tube inflation
Inflate and deflate before installation
Restrictor compensator
Decrease pressure
Sequence valve
Allows the doors to open before the landing gear
Shuttle valve
To isolate emergency break system from the normal system
Shock strut bottoms out after servicing ..
Disassemble remove inspect
Seal the seals
Compress and extend the shock strut multiple times
Centering the cam
Centers nose wheel into wheel well
Fuseable plug
Melt when hot enough to release pressure and prevent damage
Tire shoulder wear
Under inflation
Compensating port
Master cylinder
Compensate for thermal expansion
Deboosters
Reduce the pressure increase fluid flow
Spongey brakes
Deteriorated brake hoses
Slippage mark
Ensures tire has not slipped from the wheel well
Retractable landing gear
Must have an alternate method of extending the gear
Torque links
Helps keep wheels aligned
“ H “ on valve core
High pressure
Slow loss of pressure on breaks
Leak in master cylinder
Metering pin
To retard the flow of fluid
After any brake or landing gear job
Check / ops check
Main wheel assemblies intersect off
Toe out
Reebooster valve
Decrease pressure increase fluid flow
Expander tube can expanded
Mechanically only
Bleed brakes
To get air out of the system
Overinflated tire
The center of tire will wear
How long do you wait before checking tire pressure
3 hours if Hot
2 hours minimum after landing
If tire pressure of tires are different
Must correct and write down
Chines deflect water from the fuselage
Balance tire
Reduce vibration and prevent heavy spots
Deeboster valve that works with high pressure
Are designed to work with brakes of low pressure
To prevent rapid extension of struts
Needs different types of orifices and valves
Deflate tires before disassembly for..
For safety
Relief valve
Compensator port
Compensate for thermal expansion
Pressure of power brakes
Main hydraulic system
Air/oleo shock strut - what restricts its expansion
Sleeve bumper ring spacer
Split rim incorporates an o -ring
Prevents air from leaking
Split field seriers wound
Motor used for landing gear extension / retraction
Bottomed when landing but fine when taxiing
Low fluid
Where to find tire pressure to be used
Service manual
Red dot
Lightest part of tire
Power boost systems used
High landing speed aircraft
Overinflated tire may also damage
Causes damage to the flange (plane?)
