Antiskid protection is provided.

The handle should be pumped.

Differential braking is not available.

Correct! Wrong!

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

The flight crew shall not select flaps beyond approach.

Airspeed should be reduced to 150 KIAS.

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

The flight crew shall not deploy the speedbrakes.

Correct! Wrong!

Before movement of the aircraft on the ground:

Flaps should be extended to TO.

Emergency exit should be removed.

Disengage the rudder (gust) lock.

Speedbrakes should be extended.

Correct! Wrong!

The landing gear uplocks are:

Mechanically held engaged by springs and hydraulically disengaged.

Pneumatically engaged.

Mechanically held engaged by springs.

Hydraulically disengaged.

Correct! Wrong!

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

The power brakes may be inoperative.

The parking brake may be inoperative.

The antiskid system may not operate normally.

The emergency brake system may be inoperative.

Correct! Wrong!

The ANTISKID FAIL CAS amber message displays when:

Loss of the speedbrakes.

Loss of the power brakes.

Loss of touchdown protection.

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.

True.

False.

Correct! Wrong!

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

Landing gear downlocks are disengaged:

By action of the gear squat switches.

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

By removing the external downlock pins.

By mechanical linkage as the gear begins to retract.

Correct! Wrong!

When using the emergency brakes, the pilot shall not:

Pump the emergency brake handle and use the parking brake.

Use the parking brake.

Pump the emergency brake handle.

Use the speedbrakes.

Correct! Wrong!

Red light illuminated and all three green lights extinguished.

Red light illuminated, green LH and RH lights illuminated.

All four lights extinguished.

Red light extinguished, green LH and RH lights illuminated.

Correct! Wrong!

Each main gear wheel incorporates three fusible plugs that:

Are DC powered.

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

Blow out if the tire is overserviced with air.

Correct! Wrong!
