ATA 32 – LANDING GEAR

Spongy brakes are usually a result of.

• Internal leakage.

• Air in the system.

• External leakage.

Tubeless tyres are stored.

• At 15 to 20 P.S.I.

• Vertically.

• Horizontally maximum of four high with smallest diameter tyre on top.

A restrictor valve.

• May be used to slow down undercarriage extension.

• Restrict the extent of travel of the undercarriage.

• Speed up the flow in one direction.

The function of the oil in a shock absorber is to.

• Ensure the separator does not bottom.

• Absorb the landing shock.

• Damp the rebound.

Fuse plugs in aircraft tyres are.

• For overpressure protection.

• For over temperature protection

• To deflate the tyre before removal.

A red dot / triangle mark on aircraft tyres means.

• Military reference.

• Breather points.

• The light part of the tyre.

On selection of MLG down, the gear extends then begins to retract again. The cause is

• A faulty actuator.

When fitting a tyre, the red dot should be positioned.

• On the other side of the wheel opposite to the charging valve.

• Opposite the charging valve.

• Adjacent to the charging valve.

A restrictor valve can be used.

• To increase the speed of undercarriage retraction.

• To increase the speed of the undercarriage extension.

• To reduce the speed of the undercarriage extension.

The cam plate in a nose undercarriage is.

• To align for nose wheel on nose undercarriage retraction.

• For alignment of the nose wheel steering on nose undercarriage

• Part of the shimmy damper.
