Landing Gear and Brakes
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 18. What 2 situations can the landing gear aural warning not be silenced? | a) SLAT/FLAP lever in the 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 position *** Radio altitude below 700 ft AGL, and *** Thrust lever is set below a predetermined mid-range position b) Or, SLAT/FLAP lever in a landing position (5 or FULL) Regardless of thrust lever position and radio altitude |
| 19. What keeps the gear down and locked in position? | a) Downlock springs |
| 20. What color is the in transit indication for landing gear on the EICAS? | a) Amber |
| 21. What color is the Up and locked indication for landing gear on the EICAS? | a) White |
| 22. What color is the Down and locked indication for landing gear on the EICAS? | a) Green |
| 23. What color is the Gear position and lever disagreement indication on the EICAS? | a) Red (20 second grace period) |
| 24. What does a red icon indicate on the landing gear position indicator? | a) A discrepancy between the landing gear lever position and the respective landing gear position, or b) Landing gear kept in transit and is not locked in the commanded position |
| 25. How do the landing gear doors actuate? | a) Mechanically, during landing gear extension or retraction |
| 26. How is the landing gear extended and retracted? | a) Electrically commanded and hydraulically activated |
| 27. What are three landing gear extension modes? | a) Normal, Electrical Override and Alternate gear extension |
| 28. Describe the normal landing gear extension mode: | a) Landing gear lever down releases hydraulic pressure for the uplocks and retraction actuators |
| 29. When would you use the Alternate gear extension procedure? | a) If hydraulic pressure is not available for gear operation or the electrical system fails |
| 30. Describe the Alternate gear extension mode: | a) Relieves hydraulic pressure in the lines and releases all uplocks, gear extends by freefall (gear handle must be down to get 3 green on EICAS) |
| 31. When would you use the Electrical Override switch? | a) When the landing gear lever control box fails, bypassing the PSEM (Proximity Sensor Electronics Module) and commands gear extension in the same sequence as normal |
| 32. When is the LG WRN INHIB switch used? | a) To inhibit the landing gear warning in the event of a dual radio altimeter failure |
| 33. Can the landing gear aural warning be silenced by pushing the " LG WRN INHIB " button? | a) Only if both radio altimeters have failed and flaps set 0-4 |
| 34. What is the purpose of the DN LOCK RLS button on the landing gear lever? | a) Manually releases the landing gear lever lock if gear won't retract on takeoff and terrain is imminent b) Lock protects against inadvertent landing gear retraction when weight-on-wheels |
