Nine seconds.

Six seconds.

Fiveteen seconds.

Ten seconds.

Correct! Wrong!

Landing gear downlocks are disengaged:

By mechanical linkage as the gear begins to retract.

By removing the external downlock pins.

By action of the gear squat switches.

Correct! Wrong!

When using the emergency brakes, the pilot shall not:

Pump the emergency brake handle.

Use the speedbrakes.

Pump the emergency brake handle and use the parking brake.

Use the parking brake.

Correct! Wrong!

The ANTISKID FAIL CAS amber message displays when:

Loss of the speedbrakes.

Loss of the power brakes.

Loss of touchdown protection.

Loss of the emergency brakes.

Correct! Wrong!

Each main gear wheel incorporates three fusible plugs that:

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

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

Blow out if the tire is overserviced with air.

Are DC powered.

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.

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!

When using the emergency brake:

Nosewheel steering is inoperative.

Antiskid protection is provided.

Differential braking is not available.

The handle should be pumped.

Correct! Wrong!

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

The parking brake may be inoperative.

The emergency brake system may be inoperative.

The power brakes may be inoperative.

The antiskid system may not operate normally.

Correct! Wrong!

The gear cannot be retracted when the airspeed is above _____

185 KIAS.

175 KIAS.

180 KIAS.

170 KIAS.

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 _____

210 KIAS (VLE).

230 KIAS (VLE).

250 KIAS (VLE).

255 KIAS (VLE).

Correct! Wrong!

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

Hydraulic pressure.

Mechanical detents.

A spring-loaded locking solenoid.

A manually applied handle locking device.

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.

Airspeed should be reduced to 150 KIAS.

The flight crew shall not deploy the speedbrakes.

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!

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 illuminated, green LH and RH lights illuminated.
