Landing gear
Deteriorated flexible hoses
If it is determined that spongy brake action is not caused by air in the brake system, what is the next most likely cause?
The pedal to slowly creep down while pedal pressure is applied
Internal leakage in a brake master cylinder unit can cause
Expander-tube type
Many brake types can be adapted to operate mechanically or hydraulically. Which type is not adaptable to mechanical operation
Extend the landing gear if the normal operating mechanism fails
On all aircraft equipped with retractable landing gear, some means must be provided to
Prevent heavy spot and reduce vibration
The primary purpose for balancing aircraft wheel assemblies is to
Compensate for thermal expansion
The purpose of a relief valve in a brake system is to
Ensure operation of the landing gear and gear doors in the proper order
The purpose of a sequence valve in a hydraulic retractable landing gear system is to
Inserting, removing, or changing the location of washers or spacers at the center pivotal point
The repair for an out-of-tolerance toe-in condition of main landing gear wheels determined not be the result of bent or twisted components consists of
Various types of valves or offices are used which restrict the reverse fluid flow
To prevent a very rapid extension of an oleo shock strut after initial compression resulting from landing impact
The restriction will cause slow release of the brakes
What is one effect a restricted compensator port of a master cylinder will have on a brake system
Straighten the nose wheel
What is the function of a cam incorporated in a nose gear shock strut?
Permits the fluid to flow toward or away from the reservoir as temperature changes
What is the purpose of a compensating port or valve in a brake master cylinder of an independent brake system?
Maintain correct wheel alignment
What is the purpose of the torque links attached to the cylinder and piston of a landing gear oleo strut
The brakes would drag
What would be the effect if the piston return spring broke in a brake master cylinder?
The fluid being forced through a metered opening
When an air/oil type of landing gear shock strut is used, the initial shock of landing is cushioned by
high landing speeds
power boost brake systems are used on aircraft that have
An internal leak in the master cylinder
Aside external leak in the line, what will cause parking brakes to continually bleed off pressure?
Strut should be removed, disassembled, and inspected
If a shock strut bottoms after it has been properly serviced, the
Low fluid
If an aircraft shock strut (air/oil type) bottoms upon initial landing contract, but functions correctly during taxi, the most probable cause is
Worn brake linings
If an airplane equipped with master cylinders and single-disk brakes has excessive brake pedal travel, but the brakes are hard and effective, the probable cause is
