Each main gear wheel incorporates three fusible plugs that:

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

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

Blow out if the tire is overserviced with air.

Are DC powered.

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.

False.

True.

Correct! Wrong!

Landing gear downlocks are disengaged:

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

By mechanical linkage as the gear begins to retract.

By action of the gear squat switches.

By removing the external downlock pins.

Correct! Wrong!

The landing gear uplocks are:

Mechanically held engaged by springs and hydraulically disengaged.

Pneumatically engaged.

Mechanically held engaged by springs.

Hydraulically disengaged.

Correct! Wrong!

The gear cannot be retracted when the airspeed is above _____

180 KIAS.

170 KIAS.

185 KIAS.

175 KIAS.

Correct! Wrong!

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

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.

The flight crew shall not select flaps beyond approach.

Correct! Wrong!

Before movement of the aircraft on the ground:

Speedbrakes should be extended.

Disengage the rudder (gust) lock.

Emergency exit should be removed.

Flaps should be extended to TO.

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.

At extension, if the nose gear does not lock in the down position, the gear panel indications are:

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.

All four lights extinguished.

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!

The ANTISKID FAIL CAS amber message displays when:

Loss of the power brakes.

Loss of the emergency brakes.

Loss of the speedbrakes.

Loss of touchdown protection.

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 speedbrakes.

Use the parking brake.

Correct! Wrong!

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

A spring-loaded locking solenoid.

A manually applied handle locking device.

Hydraulic pressure.

Mechanical detents.

Correct! Wrong!

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

The emergency brake system may be inoperative.

The power brakes may be inoperative.

The parking brake may be inoperative.

The antiskid system may not operate normally.

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).

230 KIAS (VLE).

255 KIAS (VLE).

210 KIAS (VLE).

Correct! Wrong!

It takes _____ to extend the landing gear.

Nine seconds.

Ten seconds.

Six seconds.

Fiveteen seconds.

Correct! Wrong!
