100
Normally found on High Performance Aircraft (Decreased Parasitic Drag) and uses hydraulics, electric, mechanical, and pneumatic?
What is Retractable Landing Gear.
100
Begins as the aircraft touches the ground sliding the inner cylinder into the outer cylinder?
What is the Compression Stroke of an Oleo Shock Strut.
100
Typical components consist of torque links, trunnion and bracket arrangements, drag strut linkages, gear retraction devices, and gear indicators?
What is Landing Gear Alignment, Support, and Retraction.
100
Centers (straightens) the nose wheel when strut is extended, before it enters the wheel well?
What is the Centering or Locating Cam.
100
Two basic types of disc brakes?
What is Single Disc and Multiple Disc.
200
Consist of Conventional, Tandem, and Tricycle type?
What are the three basic landing gear arrangements.
200
Frequently described as the amount of exposed chrome piston, or as the X-Dimension?
What is the "Stoke".
200
Tire wear on tread will have a feathered edge toward the center line?
What is "Toe -In" Wheel Alignment.
200
Type of Shimmy Damper or Shock Absorber that requires NO HYDRUALIC FLUID?
What is the Non-Hydraulic Piston Type.
200
Type of brake system-used on small aircraft- has its own reservoir and is entirely independent of main hydraulic system?
300
Useful on planes with very long and slender fuselages?
What is Tandem landing gear.
300
Allows the gear to be pivoted or swing forward or backward during retraction or extension?
What is the Trunnion.
300
A measurement of the amount the wheel is tilted from fore and aft?
What is "Camber".
300
A chipped away portion of the hardened surface of a bearing roller or race?
What is "Spalling".
300
Type of disc brake assembly that has a floating caliper?
What is the "Cleveland Brake Assembly".
400
Used to convert an aircraft to water landings.
400
Used in Nose Struts to aid in steering?
What is the Shimmy Damper.
400
Used to show the flight crew the position of the landing gear, specifically if it is fully locked in either up or down position, or somewhere in between (in transition)?
What is "Position Indicator".
400
Most critical part of the split wheel assembly?
What is the "Bead Seat".
400
Consists of Brake puck Housing, Stators, and Rotors?
What is Multiple Disc Brake Systems.
500
Reduces Parasite Drag and Maintains Aerodynamics for fixed gear?
What are wheel pants.
500
Stored energy in the compressed air causes the strut to start moving upward acting as a spring to return the strut to its normal position?
What is the Extension Stroke of an Oleo Shock Strut.
500
Tire wear on tread will have a feathered edge away from the center line?
What is "Toe-Out" Wheel Alignment.
500
Made of either aluminum or magnesium alloys, made airtight with an O-ring seal, held together with nuts and bolts?
What is Split Wheel Assembly.
500
Type of Disc Brake Assembly that has a "Floating Disc"?
What is the "Goodyear Disc Brake Assembly".
