cally actuated: fwd main gear doors are mech
aft and center main gear doors hydraulic
fwd nose hydraulic
rear nose doors mechanical
8. Upper row of light are what colour and represent: amber indicates status of
landing gear door
9. middle row of light are what colour and represent: green indicate that the gear
is down and locked
10. lower row of light are what colour and represent: red in colour indicating that
position of the handle and the position of the gear are in disagreement this is a gear
unsafe indication
11. when does the gear handle light illuminate: when the gear position doesn't
agree with the handle position
12. lock lever release does what: must be held in the down position for the gear
to be moved up or down
13. what prevents gear from being raised on the ground.: WOW signal to PSEU
14. If WOW illuminates in flight what will occur: you wont be able to retract the
gear
15. Gear horn warning test when activated what will you hear: 2000hz aural
warning horn
16. landing gear warning horn will sound when: Gear not down and locked
flaps more than 15 degrees
auto feather switch off
torque below 50%

yes but only if one remains above flight idle
18. lighting sequence gear up: green out (handle on)
yellow and red on
red out (handle out)
yellow out
19. lighting sequence gear down: red on (handle on)
Yellow on
green on red off (handle off)
yellow off
20. what holds the gear up and door closed: mechanical up locks
21. what holds gear in down position: Over centre locks
continuous hydraulic pressure
22. CAUTION LIGHT
"LANDING GEAR INOP"
means what: sequencing valve has failed and gear should not be attempted to lower
normally.
23. when would you use alternate extension 3 reasons: ldg gear inop caution
light on
one or more landing gear fails to extend
complete loss of hydraulic fluid/pressure from #2 system
24. Landing gear inhibit switch is located where and what does it do: located
on overhead panel on the alternate gear release panel.
Using the switch deactivates the electrical circuit to ensure
Down and locked indication
Antiskid available on touchdown
25. alternate extension procedure: inhibit switch to inhibit
gear down
open landing gear alternate release panel
pull handle to first restricted position(opens gear doors)
pull handle again to release up locks (main gears free fall out)
open landing gear alternate extension panel and ensure other panel open still
if still not down and locked
grab handle and pump gear into position.
pull nose gear release handle to first position(doors open)
pull handle again to release nose gear which will free fall into place assisted by air
loads

26. downlock verification is located where and what does it use: located on
bottom of emergency gear extension panel.
uses infra red to ensure gear alignment and locked position
TAXI LIGHT must be off
27. Nose wheel steering is controlled by what and what hydraulic system is it
run off: controlled by nose when steering ECU
Powered by #2 HYD system
28. maximum nose wheel deflection using steering tiller: 60degrees either side
29. rudder pedals limited to how many degrees for taxiing: 7degrees either side
of nose
30. After lift of what happens to nose wheel: automatically straightened
31. nose wheel steering using hand tiller limited too: forward taxi only
32. limitations regarding reverse taxing: nose wheel steering switch must be on
no turns allowed
nose wheel must be straight
hand wheel must be held while back taxi
33. nose wheel steering will enter passive mode if: steering switch off
nose wheel exceeds 60 degree limit ECU fails
34. CAUTION LIGHT
"Nose steering"
Activates when: Failure of ECU
60 degree turn limit exceeded
35. in passive mode how much can the nose wheel deflect: 120 degrees either
side
36. during push back ensure nose wheel steering is: OFF
37. Normal brakes are powered through what system: #1 hydraulic system
38. how are brake controlled: through variable pressure control valve which has a
spring to provide feed back
39. brake pedal linkages how are they arranged: pressing the co-pilot pedals also
press capt pedals
pressing the capt pedals has no effect o copilot
40. brake wear indicators: pins protruding out of brake assembly show how much
pad is remaining
41. Antiskid will activate on the ground when: system on and wheel speed is
>10kts
42. antiskid test is automatically activated on or placed in test position what
occurs as part of the test: Caution light
"INBD ANTI SKID and the OUTBD ANTI SKID" illuminates for 6 seconds
43. anti skid test in air illuminates caution lights for how long: 3 seconds

44. Antiskid is deactive from when to when: WOW signal is removed until touch
down and wheels are spinning
45. Antiskid activates on the ground when: WOW signal received and
wheel speed at 35kts
or
WOW signal plus 3 seconds
46. CAUTION LIGHT
"INBOARD(OUTBOARD) ANTI SKID"
Means what: Antiskid not available could be because
switch is off
System fails
internal test fails
activates for 6 seconds when test switch selected
47. moving the parking brake to what positon activates park brake: full aft
48. Park brake gauge will indicate what when hydraulic system activated and
deactivated: gauge will read #2 system pressure when hyd pressure on
gauge will read accumulator pressure when #2 system off
49. emergency brake pressure must be what pressure prior to engine start
how can pressure be increased and checked externally: 1500psi
you can pump up accumulator pressure using a pump in the right main wheel well
handle is also stored in wheel well
accumulator gauge located under right flap track
50. when using emergency brake what brake systems will not be available?
how should emergency brake be used: differential brakes
anti skid
use brake smoothly and uniformly
51. CAUTION LIGHT
"PARKING BRAKE": Parking brake on
52. transfer of hydraulic fluid between systems using brakes works how: What
ever system sets the brake donates the oil
whatever system releases the brakes gets the oil
53. to avoid fluid transfer with brakes how are park brakes set: Always set park
brakes by applying pedal pressure when putting on or taking of brakes
54. how does touched runway system work on 300 series: A frangible switch
located on tail will open when runway strike occurs this activates
"TOUCHED RUNWAY" Warning light to illuminate
can only be reset my engineers
