SYS111 Flashcards
What does using flaps in the landing setting allow you to do?
Maintain approach glide path while reducing airspeed.
What happens to the flaps if the primary hydraulic system fails?
The flaps can be operated using the emergency system package. You can not retract them after extension.
Before operating the flaps using the emergency system, you must:
lower the landing gear using the emergency system.
What is a critical limitation of the speed brake?
The speed brake does not operate using the emergency hydraulic system.
Where does the pressure come from that creates the mechanical force to extend the speed brake?
The primary hydraulic system.
What is an important difference between using NWS and differential braking?
NWS is more sensitive than differential braking.
What happens to NWS if the primary hydraulic system fails?
The NWS system will be inoperative, and use of rudder and/or differential braking on the ground will be necessary.
Will the wheel brake system continue to operate if the primary hydraulic system fails?
The wheel brake system will continue to operate if the primary hydraulic system fails.
Which is the procedure for activating the parking brake?
Push on toe breaks, pull and rotate the handle 90 deg clockwise.
The NWS is __________ from the selector manifold.
separate
Will the NWS system operate if the primary hydraulic system fails?
No it will not.
Which component specifically ensures the nosewheel is properly aligned before it is retracted or extended?
The centering valve
Engaging NWS at high speeds can result in:
directional control problems due to increased sensitivity.
What are the functions of the speed brake?
Decelerate, and increase descent rate without increasing airspeed.
Will the speed brake operate using the emergency system?
No, it will not.
