With the accumulator charged to 3000 psi, how many parking brake applications do you have?
Correct Answer
B. Approximately four braking
applications
Explanation
With the accumulator charged to 3000 psi, the braking system is capable of providing approximately four brake applications. The accumulator stores hydraulic pressure that is used to engage the parking brake. Each brake application requires a certain amount of pressure from the accumulator, and with it charged to 3000 psi, it is able to provide enough pressure for approximately four brake applications.
2.
Is the anti-skid available when using the emergency brake?
Correct Answer
B. No
Explanation
The anti-skid system is not available when using the emergency brake. The emergency brake is a mechanical system that directly applies pressure to the brake pads or shoes, bypassing the anti-skid system. This means that when the emergency brake is engaged, the wheels can lock up and skid, leading to a loss of control. Therefore, the correct answer is "No".
3.
The tiller provides ___ degrees of nosewheel steering either side of center.
Correct Answer
C. 60
Explanation
The tiller provides 60 degrees of nosewheel steering either side of center.
4.
Where does the normal braking system receive its hydraulic power from?
Correct Answer
A. #1 Hydraulic System
Explanation
The normal braking system receives its hydraulic power from the hydraulic system. This system uses hydraulic fluid to transfer force from the brake pedal to the brake calipers, which then apply pressure to the brake pads and create friction against the rotors. This hydraulic power allows for efficient and effective braking, as the force applied to the brake pedal is amplified by the hydraulic system to provide the necessary stopping power.
5.
The rudder pedals provide approximately ___ degrees of nosewheel steering either side of center with the nosewheel steering turned on.
Correct Answer
B. 7 degrees
Explanation
The rudder pedals provide approximately 7 degrees of nosewheel steering either side of center with the nosewheel steering turned on. This means that when the pilot uses the rudder pedals, they can turn the nosewheel up to 7 degrees to the left or right from its center position.
6.
Must the gear lever lock release button be held down when making a gear selection?
Correct Answer
A. Yes
Explanation
The gear lever lock release button must be held down when making a gear selection. This button is designed to prevent accidental gear changes and ensure that the driver intentionally selects the desired gear. Requiring the button to be held down adds an extra layer of safety and helps prevent any potential mishaps while shifting gears.

A LDG GEAR INOP caution light indicates a failure associated with what valve?
Correct Answer
B. Solenoid Sequence Valve
Explanation
The LDG GEAR INOP caution light indicates a failure associated with the Solenoid Sequence Valve.
8.
The solenoid sequence valve gets its signal to open or close the gear doors from the PSEU.
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
The solenoid sequence valve receives its signal to open or close the gear doors from the PSEU. This means that the PSEU controls the operation of the solenoid sequence valve, which in turn controls the gear doors. Therefore, the statement is true.
9.
How long do the anti-skid lights stay on when testing is performed on the ground?
Correct Answer
B. 6 seconds
Explanation
During ground testing, the anti-skid lights stay on for 6 seconds. This duration allows the tester to observe and analyze the performance of the anti-skid system. Holding the switch for an indefinite period of time is not necessary as the 6-second duration provides sufficient time to evaluate the system's functionality.
10.
Which component monitors the position of the uplocks, downlocks, and gear door positions?
Correct Answer
C. PSEU
Explanation
The PSEU (Proximity Sensor Electronics Unit) is responsible for monitoring the position of the uplocks, downlocks, and gear door positions. It uses proximity sensors to detect the position of these components and provides feedback to the aircraft's systems. The PTU (Power Transfer Unit) is not involved in monitoring these positions. The Solenoid Sequence Valve and WOW Sensor are also not directly related to monitoring the position of the uplocks, downlocks, and gear door positions. Therefore, the correct answer is PSEU.
11.
Where does the emergency parking brake receive its hydraulic pressure from?
Correct Answer
B. #2 Hydraulic system
Explanation
The emergency parking brake receives its hydraulic pressure from the hydraulic system.
12.
When will the landing gear warning horn sound?
Correct Answer
D. A & C
Explanation
The landing gear warning horn will sound when the following conditions are met: autofeather is not armed, flaps are greater than 15, power levers are not at take-off, and the gear is not down and locked. Additionally, the horn will also sound if the airspeed is less than 130 kts, the gear is not down and locked, and the power levers are near flight idle. Therefore, the correct answer is A & C.
13.
When can the landing gear warning horn be muted?
Correct Answer
D. Airspeed < 130 kts, one power lever
near flight idle, gear not down and
locked
Explanation
The landing gear warning horn can be muted when the airspeed is below 130 kts, one power lever is near flight idle, and the gear is not down and locked.
14.
With anti-skid on and operating, at what point are the brakes available after touchdown?
Correct Answer
D. A & B
Explanation
The brakes are available immediately after touchdown when the anti-skid system is on and operating. Additionally, the brakes are also available 2.5 seconds after touchdown when the wheel spin-up reaches 35 kts. Therefore, both options A and B are correct.
15.
The LDG GEAR INOP caution light requires an alternated gear extension?
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
The LDG GEAR INOP caution light requires an alternate gear extension. This means that if the LDG GEAR INOP caution light illuminates, the pilot must use an alternate method to extend the landing gear. This could include using a manual gear extension procedure or relying on backup systems to lower the gear.
16.
During an alternate gear extension, if the landing gear fails to free-fall to the down and lockedposition the main and nose gear can be manually pumped down.
Correct Answer
B. False
Explanation
During an alternate gear extension, if the landing gear fails to free-fall to the down and locked position, the main and nose gear cannot be manually pumped down.
17.
How many degrees will the nose wheel free-caster left or right of center?
Correct Answer
D. 120
Explanation
The nose wheel free-caster is the mechanism that allows the nose wheel of an aircraft to rotate freely. It is typically set at an angle to the centerline of the aircraft, which helps with steering during taxiing. In this case, the correct answer of 120 degrees indicates that the nose wheel will be positioned 120 degrees to the left or right of the centerline.
18.
Which gear doors remain open after a normal extension?
Correct Answer
C. Aft nose gear doors & forward main
gear doors
Explanation
After a normal extension, the aft nose gear doors and forward main gear doors remain open.
