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

A spring-loaded locking solenoid.

Mechanical detents.

A manually applied handle locking device.

Hydraulic pressure.

Correct! Wrong!

Before movement of the aircraft on the ground:

Emergency exit should be removed.

Flaps should be extended to TO.

Speedbrakes should be extended.

Disengage the rudder (gust) lock.

Correct! Wrong!

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

All four lights extinguished.

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.

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.

Landing gear downlocks are disengaged:

By mechanical linkage as the gear begins to retract.

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 action of the gear squat switches.

Correct! Wrong!

Each main gear wheel incorporates three fusible plugs that:

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

Are DC powered.

Blow out if the tire is overserviced with air.

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

Correct! Wrong!

The landing gear uplocks are:

Mechanically held engaged by springs and hydraulically disengaged.

Hydraulically disengaged.

Mechanically held engaged by springs.

Pneumatically engaged.

Correct! Wrong!

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

The power brakes may be inoperative.

The emergency brake system may be inoperative.

The antiskid system may not operate normally.

The parking brake may be inoperative.

Correct! Wrong!

When using the emergency brake:

The handle should be pumped.

Nosewheel steering is inoperative.

Antiskid protection is provided.

Differential braking is not available.

Correct! Wrong!

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

Airspeed should be reduced to 150 KIAS.

The flight crew shall not deploy the speedbrakes.

The flight crew shall not select flaps beyond approach.

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

Correct! Wrong!

The ANTISKID FAIL CAS amber message displays when:

Loss of the power brakes.

Loss of the speedbrakes.

Loss of the emergency brakes.

Loss of touchdown protection.

Correct! Wrong!

When using the emergency brakes, the pilot shall not:

Use the parking brake.

Pump the emergency brake handle and use the parking brake.

Pump the emergency brake handle.

Use the speedbrakes.

Correct! Wrong!

It takes _____ to extend the landing gear.

Ten seconds.

Six seconds.

Nine seconds.

Fiveteen seconds.

Correct! Wrong!

Each inboard-retracting main gear uses two hydraulic actuators (one for uplock release and one for gear actuation). Three more hydraulic actuators perform these duties for the forward-retracting nose gear.

True.

False.

Correct! Wrong!

The gear cannot be retracted when the airspeed is above _____

175 KIAS.

170 KIAS.

180 KIAS.

185 KIAS.

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 _____

210 KIAS (VLE).

255 KIAS (VLE).

230 KIAS (VLE).

250 KIAS (VLE).

Correct! Wrong!
