True.

False.

Correct! Wrong!

The ANTISKID FAIL CAS amber message displays when:

Loss of the emergency brakes.

Loss of the speedbrakes.

Loss of the power brakes.

Loss of touchdown protection.

Correct! Wrong!

Landing gear downlocks are disengaged:

By action of the gear squat switches.

By removing the external downlock pins.

When hydraulic pressure is applied to the retract side of the main gear actuators and the nose gear downlock release actuator.

By mechanical linkage as the gear begins to retract.

Correct! Wrong!

When using the emergency brakes, the pilot shall not:

Correct! Wrong!

Normally, the landing gear is hydraulically actuated, but if the normal gear actuation system fails, the gear can be mechanically and electrically released and extended.

False.

True.

Correct! Wrong!

The gear can be mechanically and pneumatically (not electrically) released and extended.

On the ground, the LANDING GEAR handle is prevented from movement to the GEAR UP position by:

Hydraulic pressure.

A manually applied handle locking device.

Mechanical detents.

Correct! Wrong!

Each main gear wheel incorporates three fusible plugs that:

Blow out if the tire is overserviced with air.

Are DC powered.

Is thrown out by centrifugal force if maximum wheel speed is exceeded.

Melt, deflating the tire if an overheated brake event occurs.

Correct! Wrong!

The landing gear uplocks are:

Hydraulically disengaged.

Mechanically held engaged by springs and hydraulically disengaged.

Mechanically held engaged by springs.

Pneumatically engaged.

Correct! Wrong!

Before movement of the aircraft on the ground:

Emergency exit should be removed.

Disengage the rudder (gust) lock.

Speedbrakes should be extended.

Correct! Wrong!

At extension, if the nose gear does not lock in the down position, the gear panel indications are:

Red light illuminated and all three green lights extinguished.

Red light illuminated, green LH and RH lights illuminated.

Red light extinguished, green LH and RH lights illuminated.

All four lights extinguished.

Correct! Wrong!

When using the emergency brake:

The handle should be pumped.

Differential braking is not available.

Antiskid protection is provided.

Correct! Wrong!

What landing gear systems are affected if a WOW message appears prior to touchdown?

The power brakes may be inoperative.

The antiskid system may not operate normally.

The emergency brake system may be inoperative.

The parking brake may be inoperative.

Correct! Wrong!

With the NO TIRE SPINDOWN amber CAS message displayed in the CAS window:

The flight crew shall not deploy the speedbrakes.

Airspeed should be reduced to 150 KIAS.

The flight crew shall not select flaps beyond approach.

Damage to the wheel well from loose tread. and debris could result.

Correct! Wrong!
