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

A manually applied handle locking device.

Hydraulic pressure.

A spring-loaded locking solenoid.

Mechanical detents.

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.

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

Blow out if the tire is overserviced with air.

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.

The ANTISKID FAIL CAS amber message displays when:

Loss of touchdown protection.

Loss of the power brakes.

Loss of the speedbrakes.

Loss of the emergency brakes.

Correct! Wrong!

The landing gear uplocks are:

Mechanically held engaged by springs.

Hydraulically disengaged.

Mechanically held engaged by springs and hydraulically disengaged.

Pneumatically engaged.

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, green LH and RH lights illuminated.

Red light illuminated and all three green lights extinguished.

Red light extinguished, green LH and RH lights illuminated.

Correct! Wrong!

When using the emergency brake:

The handle should be pumped.

Differential braking is not available.

Nosewheel steering is inoperative.

Antiskid protection is provided.

Correct! Wrong!

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

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.

Airspeed should be reduced to 150 KIAS.

Correct! Wrong!

It takes _____ to extend the landing gear.

Nine seconds.

Fiveteen seconds.

Ten seconds.

Six seconds.

Correct! Wrong!

Before movement of the aircraft on the ground:

Disengage the rudder (gust) lock.

Emergency exit should be removed.

Speedbrakes should be extended.

Flaps should be extended to TO.

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!

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 _____

230 KIAS (VLE).

255 KIAS (VLE).

250 KIAS (VLE).

210 KIAS (VLE).

Correct! Wrong!

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

The antiskid system may not operate normally.

The emergency brake system may be inoperative.

The power brakes may be inoperative.

The parking brake may be inoperative.

Correct! Wrong!

The gear cannot be retracted when the airspeed is above _____

175 KIAS.

185 KIAS.

180 KIAS.

170 KIAS.

Correct! Wrong!

When using the emergency brakes, the pilot shall not:

Use the parking brake.

Pump the emergency brake handle.

Use the speedbrakes.

Pump the emergency brake handle and use the parking brake.

Correct! Wrong!

Landing gear downlocks are disengaged:

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.

By mechanical linkage as the gear begins to retract.

By removing the external downlock pins.

Correct! Wrong!
