Aircraft brakes requiring a large volume of fluid to operate the brakes generally A- use power brake control valves. B- do not use brake system accumulators. C- use independent master cylinder systems.

A- use power brake control valves.

If it is determined that spongy brake action is not caused by air in the brake system, what is the next most likely cause? A-Deteriorated flexible hoses. B- Internal leakage in the master cylinder. C- Worn brake lining.

A-Deteriorated flexible hoses.

What type of valve is used in the brake actuating line to isolate the emergency brake system from the normal power brake control valve system? A- A shuttle valve. B- A bypass valve. C- An orifice check valve.

A- A shuttle valve.

How can it be determined that all air has been purged from a master cylinder brake system? A- By noting whether the brake is firm or spongy. B- By noting the amount of fluid return to the master cylinder upon brake release. C- By operating a hydraulic unit and watching the system pressure gauge for smooth, ful1 scale deflection.

A- By noting whether the brake is firm or spongy.

Debooster cylinders are used in brake systems primarily to A- reduce the pressure to the brake and increase the volume of fluid flow. B- relieve excessive fluid and ensure a positive release. C- reduce brake pressure and maintain static pressure.

A- reduce the pressure to the brake and increase the volume of fluid flow.

A pilot reports the right brake on an aircraft is spongy when the brake pedal is depressed in a normal manner. The probable cause is A- the hydraulic master cylinder piston return spring is weak. B- air in the brake hydraulic system. C- the hydraulic master cylinder piston is sticking.

A brake debooster valve is installed in systems where the high pressure of the hydraulic system (3,000 PSI) is used to operate brakes A-that are used on aircraft having high landing speeds. B-that are designed to work with lower pressure. C-that are used in conjunction with an antiskid system.

B-that are designed to work with lower pressure.

The purpose of a relief valve in a brake system is to A- prevent the tire from skidding. B- reduce pressure for brake application. C- compensate for thermal expansion.

C- compensate for thermal expansion.

When bleeding aircraft brakes, one of the indications that the air has been purged from the system is A-full brake pedal travel. B-partial brake pedal travel. C- firm brake pedals.

C- firm brake pedals.

In brake service work, the term "bleeding brakes" is the process of A- replacing small amounts of fluid in reservoir. B- withdrawing air only from the system. C- withdrawing fluid from the system for the purpose of removing air that has entered the system.

C- withdrawing fluid from the system for the purpose of removing air that has entered the system.

What would be the effect if the piston return spring broke in a brake master cylinder? A-The brake travel would become excessive. B- The brakes would become spongy. C-The brakes would drag.

C-The brakes would drag.

What is the purpose of a compensating port or valve in a brake master cylinder of an independent brake system? A-Permits the fluid to flow toward or away from the reservoir as temperature changes. B- Prevents fluid from flowing back to the reservoir. C-Assists in the master cylinder piston return.

A-Permits the fluid to flow toward or away from the reservoir as temperature changes.

Debooster valves are used in brake systems primarily to A-reduce the pressure and release the brakes rapidly. B- reduce brake pressure and maintain static pressure. C-ensure rapid application and release of the brakes.

A-reduce the pressure and release the brakes rapidly.

Lockout deboosters are primarily pressure reducing valves that A- cannot allow full debooster piston travel without fluid from the high pressure side entering the low pressure chamber. B- allow full debooster piston travel without fluid from the high pressure side entering the low pressure chamber. C- must be bled separately after brake bleeding has been completed.

B- allow full debooster piston travel without fluid from the high pressure side entering the low pressure chamber.

If a brake debooster is used in a hydraulic brake system, its position in the system will be A- in the brake pressure line between the brake pedal and the brake accumulator. B- between the brake control valve and the brake actuating cy1inder. C- between the pressure manifold of the main hydraulic system and the power brake control valve.

B- between the brake control valve and the brake actuating cylinder.

A pilot reports that the brake pedals have excessive travel. A probable cause is A- brake lining has oil or some foreign matter on the disks and linings. B- brake rotors have worn. C- lack of fluid in the brake system.

B- brake rotors have worn.

The removal, installation, and repair of landing gear tires by the holder of a private pilot certificate on an aircraft the pilot owns or operates is considered to be A- a violation of the Federal Aviation Regulations. B- preventive maintenance. C- a minor repair.

C- An internal leak in the master cylinder

The braking action of a Cleveland disk brake is accomplished by compressing a rotating brake disk between two opposite brake linings. How is equal pressure on both sides of the rotating disk assured? A-By allowing the brake rotor to float to automatically equalize as pressure is applied to the rotor. B- By allowing the brake linings to automatically equalize as pressure is applied to the rotor. C- By allowing the caliper to float to automatically equalize as pressure is applied to the rotor.
