Normal and Alternate Braking + Antiskid + Autobrake + Brakes Temperature

Correct! Wrong!

After a free fall extension, it is possible to restore normal operation, provided green hydraulic pressure is available.

False.

True.

Correct! Wrong!

There are two braking systems available, the normal and the alternate system:

The accumulators are part of the normal braking system.

Each system is powered by a different hydraulic system.

Each system is equipped with its own set of accumulators.

Correct! Wrong!

The ECAM memo N/W STRG DISC is displayed. What does it mean?

Nose Wheel Steering selector on nose gear is on "Towing" position.

BSCU is inoperative.

RUDDER PEDAL DISC pb is being pushed.

Correct! Wrong!

In case of one LGCIU failure, is the landing gear system affected?

No.

Yes.

It depends which LGCIU is concerned.

Correct! Wrong!

The parking brake accumulator maintains the parking pressure for at least:

8 hours.

12 hours.

Between 15 and 24 hours.

Correct! Wrong!

Which hydraulic system powers the landing gear normal operation?

BLUE.

YELLOW.

GREEN.

Correct! Wrong!

The IAS is 300 kt - Landing gear selector is set to DOWN:

Landing gear extends but landing gear doors stay open.

Landing gear extends but it is over VLE, a check has to be performed after landing.

Landing gear does not extend because no hydraulic power is available.

Correct! Wrong!

All gears and doors are hydraulically-actuated by the green hydraulic system. Hydraulic supply is automatically isolated by closing a safety valve above 280 kt. It is maintained closed until the landing gear lever is moved to the DOWN position and the aircraft speed decreases below 280 kt.

When the A/SKID N/W STRG switch is set to OFF:

Steering is not energized but A/SKID is working when the aircraft is moving on ground.

Aircraft uses alternate brakes and A/SKID is available.

Both N/W STRG and A/SKID are de-energized.

Correct! Wrong!

If both pilots turn their steering handwheels at the same time:

Inputs are algebraically added.

Inputs are algebraically added only if both handwheels are turned in the same direction.

Priority is given to the first pilot to turn its handwheel.

Correct! Wrong!

In case of landing gear gravity extension, the nose wheel steering is lost.

True.

False.

Correct! Wrong!

In the event of an aborted takeoff with autobrake armed, automatic braking is initiated:

At ground spoiler extension provided speed is below 72 kt.

At 110 kt.

At ground spoiler extension.

Correct! Wrong!

Parking brake requires:

GREEN hydraulic pressure for normal use and the BLUE hydraulic pressure for alternate use.

BLUE hydraulic pressure.

GREEN hydraulic pressure.

Correct! Wrong!

The steering handwheels control the nosewheel steering angle up to plus or minus _____ in either direction.

90 degrees.

72 degrees.

82 degrees.

Correct! Wrong!

A visual red warning on the overhead panel indicates to the crew that an oversteer (plus or minus 93 degrees) has occurred.

The flight crew may arm the autobrake system provided all following conditions are:

GREEN pressure available, Antiskid deactivated and no failure in the braking system.

BLUE pressure available, Antiskid electrically powered and no failure in the braking system.

GREEN pressure available, Antiskid electrically powered and no failure in the braking system.

Correct! Wrong!

The red arrow on the landing gear indicator panel illuminates:

If the landing gear is not locked in selected position.

If the landing gear is not downlocked in landing configuration.

During transit.

Correct! Wrong!

The purpose of the Antiskid is to:

Establish and maintain a selected deceleration during landing.

Prevent wheel skid to improve braking efficiency.

Reduce the braking delay in the event of a rejected takeoff.

Correct! Wrong!

A green arc overhead wheel temperature on ECAM WHEEL page indicates:

Normal braking is inoperative.

Brake temperature is greater than 300 deg.C.

This wheel is the hottest and Brake Temp is more than 100 deg.C.

Correct! Wrong!

The two-wheel nose gear comprises an oleopneumatic shock strut and a nosewheel steering system. It retracts rearward into the fuselage.

False.

True.

Correct! Wrong!

It retracts forward into the fuselage.

During landing, Nose Wheel Steering (NWS) is available:

At any speed on ground.

Below 100 kt.

Below 73 kt.

Correct! Wrong!

Nosewheel steering control authority depends on aircraft speed. Rudder pedals provide nosewheel steering control when the speed is below 100 kt at landing, or up to 150 kt for takeoff.

ALTERNATE BRAKING WITHOUT ANTISKID - Accumulators are designed to supply at least _____ full brake applications.

Five.

Seven.

Four.

Correct! Wrong!

Information on main landing gear panel are provided by:

BSCU (Braking and Steering Control Unit).

LGCIU 1 (Landing Gear Control Interface Unit).

LGCIU 2 (Landing Gear Control Interface Unit).
