skyblue CBT Landing Gear and brakes Flashcards
what components make up each main gear?
2 wheels with tubeless tires and a hydro-pneumatic shock absorber
which hydraulic system powers the landing gear?
green
what is used to extedn the gear in the event of a hydraulic failure?
gravity gear extension
what does the gear position detection and indiaction system provide information to?
the crew and the MFC
what manages extension and retraction of landing gear?
MFC
what brakes are on each main gear?
2 sets of multi disk carbon brakes equipped with anti skid
what 3 things determine how much anti skid is delivered?
- wheel slip
- brake and tire wear
- runway conditions
what does the anti skid system deliver
touchdown protection
wheel lock protection
anti skid
when will the fusable plugs release tire pressure?
when temperature exceeds 177C
what does the pressure relief valve on the wheel do?
protects against overpressuriatstion
how are the multi disk carbon brakes operated?
hydraulically powered pistons
what is each carbon brake equipped with?
automatic adjuster
overheat detector
wear indicator pin
what is max deflection of the NWS?
60 degrees
which hydraulic system powers the NWS?
blue
when will we get a WHEELS BRK HOT on the EWD with a caution and chime?
when any brake temperature exceeds 150C
what are downlock and air ground signals provided by?
proximity sensors
what provides uplock signals?
mechanical limit switches
what is the primary detection and indication system controlled by?
MFC 1A
what is the primary detection and indication system powered by?
DC STBY BUS
what is the secondary detection and indication system controlled by?
MFC 2
what is the secondary detection and indication system powered by?
DC BUS 2
what does the WOW systems supply information to?
- pressurisation
- anti-ice systems
- other systems
what controls WOW system 1?
MFC 1B
what controls MFC system 2?
MFC 2B
what powers WOW system 1?
DC EMER BUS
what powers WOW system 2?
DC BUS 2
how is landing gear retracted?
MFC electrically controls a landing gear selectro valve in the main left gear fairing
the valve supplies green hydraulic pressure to unlock each gear
pressure is then delivered to the retraction side of the gear actuators
extension side of the actuators is then used to return hydraulic pressure to the resevoir
