False.

True.

Correct! Wrong!

Correct! Wrong!

Anti-skid is available:

Correct! Wrong!

Input orders to the Nose Wheel Steering are available from:

Dave Nunez

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

The captain's side only.

Correct! Wrong!

Which hydraulic system powers the landing gear normal operation?

YELLOW.

BLUE.

GREEN.

Correct! Wrong!

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

False.

True.

Correct! Wrong!

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

At any speed on ground.

Below 73 kt.

Below 100 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.

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

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

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

Inputs are algebraically added.

Correct! Wrong!

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

No.

It depends which LGCIU is concerned.

Yes.

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 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!

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!

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

82 degrees.

72 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.

GEARS AND DOORS - CONTROLS AND INDICATORS - The red arrow, and associated ECAM warnings come on red in approach at _____, if the landing gear is not downlocked in landing configuration.

800 ft RA.

1000 ft RA.

750 ft RA.

Correct! Wrong!

If GREEN hydraulic pressure is not available:

Automatic braking is operative and antiskid is inoperative.

Automatic braking is inoperative and antiskid is operative.

Both automatic braking and antiskid are operative.

Correct! Wrong!

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

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

Landing gear extends but landing gear doors stay open.

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.

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

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

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.

Correct! Wrong!

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

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

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.

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 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.

Manually reset the landing gear downlocks.

Reset the system to the normal extension and retraction mode.

Correct! Wrong!

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

At 110 kt.

At ground spoiler extension.

At ground spoiler extension provided speed is below 72 kt.

Correct! Wrong!

The red arrow on the landing gear indicator panel illuminates:

If the landing gear is not locked in selected position.

During transit.

If the landing gear is not downlocked in landing configuration.

Correct! Wrong!

The purpose of the Antiskid is to:

Establish and maintain a selected deceleration during landing.

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

Prevent wheel skid to improve braking efficiency.

Correct! Wrong!

Alternate Braking mode with Antiskid is available:

In case of GREEN hydraulic low pressure.

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

When pushing on the rudder pedals.

Correct! Wrong!

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

Normal braking is inoperative.

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

Brake temperature is greater than 300 deg.C.

Correct! Wrong!

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

Aircraft uses alternate brakes and A/SKID is available.

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

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

Correct! Wrong!

Information on main landing gear panel are provided by:

LGCIU 1 (Landing Gear Control Interface Unit).

LGCIU 2 (Landing Gear Control Interface Unit).

BSCU (Braking and Steering Control Unit).

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.

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

RUDDER PEDAL DISC pb is being pushed.

BSCU is inoperative.

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

Correct! Wrong!
