Q

After retraction, how is the gear held up?

A

Gear is held up by mechanical uplocks. Up lock hook in over center position by springs, holding the gear even with hydraulic pressure off.

Q

How does alternate landing gear extension work?

A

Dedicated DC hydraulic pump releases uplocks using center system fluid. Landing gear free-falls in to down and locked position.
Gear lever position has no effect on alternate extension.
All hydraulically powered gear doors will remain open after extension.

Q

What will disarm the brakes after landing?

A
  • Pedal braking applied
  • Either thrust lever advanced
  • Speedbrake lever moved down after speedbrakes have deployed
  • DISARM or OFF selected on the autobrake selector
  • Autobrake fault
  • Normal antiskid system fault
  • Loss of inertial data from the IRU’s

Q

What is the “park and adjust” feature?

A

A feature which monitors the condition of the brakes after application and adjusts the clamping force as needed during brake cooling.

Q

Is there an active force on the EBA’s when the parking brake is set?

Q

Above what value will the BRAKE TEMP indication change to amber and show the associated EICAS?
When does it change back to white?

A

5.0 or above

Changes back when all brakes are below 3.0

16
Q

When is taxi brake release active?

A

787-8 - Below 70kts

787-9 - Below 30kts

17
Q

When is the EICAS “TIRE PRESS” displayed?

A
  • When any tire pressure is above or below the normal range.
  • When there is excessive diff between two tires on the same axle.
18
Q

How many Electric Brake Actuators are there per main wheel brake?

A

4 EBA’s per wheel brake, 32 in total.

19
Q

How many EBAC’s are there?

A

4 Electric Brake Actuator Controllers. Each control a fore-aft wheel pair.

20
Q

What happens when a wheel speed sensor senses a skid?

A

Brake pressure is reduced until skidding stops

21
Q

Is antiskid provided for each individual wheel?

A

Yes

22
Q

What data is used for touchdown and hydroplaning protection in the antiskid system?

A

Airplane inertial data

23
Q

What data is used for locked wheel protection?

A

Comparison with other wheel speeds.

24
Q

How long after the EICAS indication changes from UP to blank after retraction?

A

10 seconds

25
Q

How can the isolation valves be controlled by the crew?

A

They can not

26
Q

What is the purpose of the NGIV, RSIV and the AEIV?

A

Together with a reservoir standpipe in the center hydraulic system, the isolation valves will provide isolation functionality in the event of a leak. Flight crew will be able to extend the landing gear and have operational nose wheel steering on landing.
