The flight crew shall not deploy the speedbrakes.

Correct! Wrong!

Each main gear wheel incorporates three fusible plugs that:

Correct! Wrong!

Landing gear downlocks are disengaged:

By action of the gear squat switches.

By mechanical linkage as the gear begins to retract.

By removing the external downlock pins.

Ten seconds.

Fiveteen seconds.

Correct! Wrong!

When using the emergency brake:

Antiskid protection is provided.

Correct! Wrong!

The gear cannot be retracted when the airspeed is above _____

180 KIAS.

185 KIAS.

170 KIAS.

Emergency exit should be removed.

Correct! Wrong!

When using the emergency brakes, the pilot shall not:

Use the speedbrakes.

Use the parking brake.

Correct! Wrong!

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

The emergency brake system may be inoperative.

The power brakes may be inoperative.

The antiskid system may not operate normally.

The parking brake may be inoperative.

Correct! Wrong!

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

A manually applied handle locking device.

A spring-loaded locking solenoid.

Hydraulic pressure.

Mechanical detents.

Correct! Wrong!

At airspeeds up to 250 KIAS, the gear can be extended (VLO). The aircraft can be flown with the gear extended at airspeeds up to _____

250 KIAS (VLE).

255 KIAS (VLE).

210 KIAS (VLE).

230 KIAS (VLE).

Correct! Wrong!

The ANTISKID FAIL CAS amber message displays when:

Loss of the power brakes.

Loss of touchdown protection.

Loss of the emergency brakes.

Loss of the speedbrakes.

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.

All four lights extinguished.

Red light extinguished, green LH and RH lights illuminated.

Red light illuminated, green LH and RH lights illuminated.

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.
