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.

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.

False.

True.

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!

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

The flight crew shall not select flaps beyond approach.

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

The flight crew shall not deploy the speedbrakes.

Airspeed should be reduced to 150 KIAS.

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.

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

Correct! Wrong!

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

Mechanical detents.

Hydraulic pressure.

A spring-loaded locking solenoid.

A manually applied handle locking device.

Correct! Wrong!

Each main gear wheel incorporates three fusible plugs that:

Blow out if the tire is overserviced with air.

Are DC powered.

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

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

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 emergency brake system may be inoperative.

The antiskid system may not operate normally.

Correct! Wrong!

When using the emergency brakes, the pilot shall not:

Pump the emergency brake handle.

Pump the emergency brake handle and use the parking brake.

Use the parking brake.

Use the speedbrakes.

Correct! Wrong!

It takes _____ to extend the landing gear.

Fiveteen seconds.

Nine seconds.

Ten seconds.

Six seconds.

Correct! Wrong!

The ANTISKID FAIL CAS amber message displays when:

Loss of touchdown protection.

Loss of the power brakes.

Loss of the emergency brakes.

Loss of the speedbrakes.

Correct! Wrong!

The landing gear uplocks are:

Mechanically held engaged by springs.

Hydraulically disengaged.

Pneumatically engaged.

Mechanically held engaged by springs and hydraulically disengaged.

Correct! Wrong!

Before movement of the aircraft on the ground:

Disengage the rudder (gust) lock.

Speedbrakes should be extended.

Flaps should be extended to TO.

Emergency exit should be removed.

Correct! Wrong!

When using the emergency brake:

Antiskid protection is provided.

Differential braking is not available.

The handle should be pumped.

Nosewheel steering is inoperative.

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).

210 KIAS (VLE).

230 KIAS (VLE).

255 KIAS (VLE).

Correct! Wrong!

The gear cannot be retracted when the airspeed is above _____

170 KIAS.

180 KIAS.

175 KIAS.

185 KIAS.

Correct! Wrong!
