15 Position and Warn
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| An airspeed indicator measures the differential between | pitot and static air pressure. |
| Where is the landing gear safety switch usually located? | On the main gear shock strut. |
| The angle-of-attack detector operates from differential pressure when the airstream | is not parallel to the true angle of attack of the aircraft. |
| When a landing gear safety switch on a main gear strut closes at liftoff, which system is deactivated? | Antiskid system. |
| The basic difference between an autosyn and a magnesyn indicating system is the | rotor. |
| (Refer to Figure 20.) What will illuminate the amber indicator light? | Closing the nose, left and right wheel gear full retract switches. |
| An antiskid system is designed to | sense the deceleration rate of every main landing gear wheel and release then reapply pressure at a slightly lower value when a skid is detected. |
| Which of the following conditions is most likely to cause the landing gear warning signal to sound? | Landing gear not locked down and throttle retarded. |
| Which of the following functions does a skid control system perform? | Normal skid control, fail safe protection, locked wheel skid control, touchdown protection. |
| Which of the following are some uses for a DC selsyn system? | Indicate the position of retractable landing gear, cowl flaps position, cooler door position, fuel quantity, and position of wing flaps. |
| Refer to Figure 19.) What is the indication of the red landing gear position light under the following conditions? Aircraft on jacks. Landing gear in transit. Warning horn sounding. | extinguished. |
| The rotor in an Autosyn remote indicating system uses | an electromagnet. |
| The primary purpose of a takeoff warning system is to alert the crew that a monitored flight control is not properly set prior to takeoff. The system is activated by | a thrust lever. |
| (Refer to Figure 20.) What is the minimum circumstance that will cause the landing gear warning horn to indicate an unsafe condition? | Any gear not down and locked, and one throttle retarded. |
| Antiskid braking systems are generally armed by | a switch in the cockpit. |
| Which repair would require a landing gear retraction test? | Gear downlock microswitch. |
| A typical takeoff warning indication system, in addition to throttle setting, monitors the position of which of the following? | Elevators, speed brake, flaps, and stabilizer trim. |
| What safety device is actuated by the compression and extension of a landing gear strut? | Ground safety switch. |
| An antiskid system is | an electrohydraulic system. |
| Stall warning systems are generally designed to begin warning the pilot when a stall | is imminent. |
| (Refer to Figure 19). Which repair should be made if the gear switch was placed in UP position and the gear does not retract? | Replace electrical wire No. 12. |
| When an airplane's primary flight control surfaces are set for a particular phase of flight, such as landing or takeoff, the corresponding control-surface indicating system will show | trim position. |
| Landing gear warning systems usually provide which of the following indications? | Red light for unsafe gear; green light for gear down; no light for gear up. |
| In the air with the antiskid armed, current cannot flow to the antiskid control box because the landing gear | squat switch is open. |
| Microswitches are used primarily as limit switches to | control electrical units automatically. |
| At what point in the landing operation does normal skid control perform its function? | When wheel rotation deceleration indicates an impending skid. |
| (1) An antiskid system is designed to apply enough force to operate just below the skid point. (2) A warning lamp lights in the cockpit when the antiskid system is turned off or if there is a system failure. Regarding the above statements, | both 1 and 2 are true. |
| What landing gear warning device(s) is/are incorporated on retractable landing gear aircraft? | A horn or other aural device and a red warning light. |
| In a brake antiskid system, when an approaching skid is sensed, an electrical signal is sent to the skid control valve which | relieves the hydraulic pressure on the brake. |
| In an antiskid system, wheel skid is detected by | an electrical sensor. |
| The rotor in a Magnesyn remote indicating system uses | a permanent magnet. |
| The pneumatic (reed) type stall warning system installed in some light aircraft is activated by | negative air pressure. |
| In most modern hydraulically actuated landing gear systems, the order of gear and fairing door operation is controlled by | sequence valves. |
