Four.

Five.

Correct! Wrong!

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

Inputs are algebraically added.

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

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

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.

Correct! Wrong!

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

It depends which LGCIU is concerned.

No.

Yes.

Correct! Wrong!

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!

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

The accumulators are part of the normal braking system.

Each system is equipped with its own set of accumulators.

Each system is powered by a different hydraulic system.

Correct! Wrong!

The purpose of the RESET position on the LDG GEAR GRVTY EXTN panel is to:

Actuate the BLUE ELEC pump to provide an alternate source of hydraulic pressure to the landing gear system.

Reset the system to the normal extension and retraction mode.

Manually reset the landing gear downlocks.

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.

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

False.

True.

Correct! Wrong!

Parking brake requires:

GREEN hydraulic pressure.

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

BLUE hydraulic pressure.

Correct! Wrong!

If Brake and Steering Control Unit (BSCU) channels 1 and 2 are inoperative:

Normal and Alternate Braking are lost.

Alternate Braking is available but Antiskid is unavailable.

Alternate Braking and Antiskid are still available.

Correct! Wrong!

If GREEN hydraulic pressure is not available:

Automatic braking is inoperative and antiskid is operative.

Automatic braking is operative and antiskid is inoperative.

Both automatic braking and antiskid are operative.

Correct! Wrong!

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

72 degrees.

82 degrees.

90 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.

If one UNLK indication remains on at gear extension, the landing gear position can be confirmed using the WHEEL SD page (information from LGCIU 1 and 2): only one green triangle on each landing gear is sufficient to confirm that the landing gear is downlocked.

True.

False.

Correct! Wrong!

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

BSCU is inoperative.

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

RUDDER PEDAL DISC pb is being pushed.

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!

Alternate Braking mode with Antiskid is available:

If A/SKID and N/W STRG switch is set to OFF position.

In case of GREEN hydraulic low pressure.

When pushing on the rudder pedals.

Correct! Wrong!

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.

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

Aircraft uses alternate brakes and A/SKID is available.

Correct! Wrong!

When depressing the pedal disconnect pb on a steering handwheel:

Rudder and steering handwheel inputs to nose wheel are deactivated.

Hydraulic isolation valve to Nose Wheel Steering is closed.

Rudder pedal orders to nose wheel are deactivated.

Correct! Wrong!

Input orders to the Nose Wheel Steering are available from:

Dave Nunez

The steering handwheels only.

The captain's side only.

The steering handwheels, the rudder pedals, and the Autopilot system.

Correct! Wrong!

Information on main landing gear panel are provided by:

LGCIU 2 (Landing Gear Control Interface Unit).

LGCIU 1 (Landing Gear Control Interface Unit).

BSCU (Braking and Steering Control Unit).

Correct! Wrong!

The purpose of the Antiskid is to:

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

Prevent wheel skid to improve braking efficiency.

Establish and maintain a selected deceleration during landing.

Correct! Wrong!

In case of GREEN hydraulic system loss, what is the correct statement?

Landing gear extension is done by gravity, Nose Wheel Steering and normal braking are lost.

Landing gear extension is done using the BLUE hydraulic system, Nose Wheel Steering is lost.

Landing gear extension is done by gravity, Nose Wheel Steering and braking are unaffected.

Correct! Wrong!

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

False.

True.

Correct! Wrong!

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

Below 100 kt.

Below 73 kt.

At any speed on ground.

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.

Anti-skid is available:

With GREEN or BLUE hydraulic pressure.

With GREEN hydraulic pressure only.

With BLUE hydraulic pressure only.

Correct! Wrong!

Autobrake system is disarmed by:

Depressing the rudder pedal disconnect pb.

Depressing at least one pedal.

Depressing both pedals.
