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.

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 select flaps beyond approach.

The flight crew shall not deploy the speedbrakes.

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

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 _____

255 KIAS (VLE).

210 KIAS (VLE).

230 KIAS (VLE).

250 KIAS (VLE).

Correct! Wrong!

When using the emergency brake:

Antiskid protection is provided.

Differential braking is not available.

Nosewheel steering is inoperative.

The handle should be pumped.

Correct! Wrong!

The landing gear uplocks are:

Pneumatically engaged.

Mechanically held engaged by springs and hydraulically disengaged.

Hydraulically disengaged.

Mechanically held engaged by springs.

Correct! Wrong!

Each main gear wheel incorporates three fusible plugs that:

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

Blow out if the tire is overserviced with air.

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

Are DC powered.

Correct! Wrong!

The gear cannot be retracted when the airspeed is above _____

170 KIAS.

185 KIAS.

180 KIAS.

175 KIAS.

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.

Mechanical detents.

Hydraulic pressure.

A spring-loaded locking solenoid.

Correct! Wrong!

Landing gear downlocks are disengaged:

By removing the external downlock pins.

By action of the gear squat switches.

By mechanical linkage as the gear begins to retract.

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

Correct! Wrong!

Before movement of the aircraft on the ground:

Flaps should be extended to TO.

Disengage the rudder (gust) lock.

Emergency exit should be removed.

Speedbrakes should be extended.

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!

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 parking brake may be inoperative.

The emergency brake system may be inoperative.

Correct! Wrong!

It takes _____ to extend the landing gear.

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!
