Landing Gears Midterm

This component uses the over-center linkage to ensure the gear is positively locked and prevents the gear from folding under pressure.

This type of gear remains exposed to the elements when the plane is flying.

Retractable gear are designed to lock down ____ ______ to prevent collapsing with the weight on wheels

This type gear has two wheels forward of the C of G and a third, smaller wheel located at the aft fuselage.

Mid-sized and large aircraft use ___________ gear which can be operated _____________.

Aircraft that are designed to travel at higher speeds require partial or fully retractable gear to ______ ____.

Regarding large aircraft, the wheel designation (location), is determined by whom?

Early development of aircraft used what type of landing gear?

The main structural component of the large landing gear configurations is known as what?

Slow speed aircraft are normally equipped with non-retractable landing gear due to ______ _______.

How do we ensure the axle remains aligned with the gear?

Aircraft are able to land on water if they have ______ or ________ installed.

How is the nose wheel operated on large transport type aircraft?

Advantages of the tricycle type gear are?

Tail wheels on small aircraft are normally "free castor" and not ___________.

High speed aircraft use retractable gear, as the ________ ____ associated with having fixed gear _______ the advantage of the lighter weight gear.

Aircraft landing gear are designed to provide control and stability for ground maneuvers and absorb the loads associated with _______ & _______.

When the aircraft is on the ground awaiting maintenance from you, the technician, what must be installed prior to moving the plane into hangar?

During aircraft ground movements, most models will be equipped with this device to help prevent vibrations from the nose gear. 

Landing gear supports the aircraft in all operational conditions and it must not transmit vibrations to the structure. On most light aircraft this is accomplished by using ________ ________  for the mains and a shock absorber known as an ____ _____ for the nose

This component provides longitudinal support for the gear.

This component provides lateral stability for the gear.

When aft mounted propellers were moved to the front of the fuselage and a tail wheel was added, this configuration became known as what?

What is the biggest disadvantage with tail-wheel gear systems?

How is the nose wheel of small aircraft steered for ground maneuvering?

Nose gear on small aircraft may be fixed or retractable and most commonly use what for shock absorption?

An aircraft oleo strut is normally serviced with _____ and _____.

Select the answer that best describes the spare seal carrier.

Shock absorbers convert motion into ____ energy. 

Dampening action is provided in the oleo strut by means of fluid rate transfer between the _____ and ____ chambers.

The fluid rate transfer within the oleo strut is controlled by the action of the ________ ___ moving through the _______ _____

What should you check before using the pressure gage to inflate the oleo? 

In accordance with the Servicing Placard on some aircraft, if you supply the strut with proper Nitrogen pressure, take into consideration the weight of the plane and the outside temperature you should be able to determine what dimension?

How is the geometry of the gear corrected when it swings up to be accommodated into the wheel-well after take-off?

On small aircraft, how do you determine if the fluid level is low or high?

To save time during a tear-down of the strut what components may be located on the sliding piston to aid in this effort?

To ensure the nose wheel is straight before entering the wheel-well, what components are incorporated within the strut to accomplish this work?

Oleo struts are serviced with _________ _____ and ________

If the exposed chrome surface is NOT correct, this could be an indication of what?

How does the Pilot receive information in the cockpit indicating the wheels are up/down and locked in position? 

What component slides up and down inside of the outer cylinder on most landing gear systems?

Lower bearing strut seals occasionally require replacement due to what?

Older small aircraft using spring struts have a common disadvantage over other designs because the spring is prone to what?

Large commercial aircraft incorporate a gear component designed with two or more axles called what?

Most nose gear assemblies retract forward into the wheel-well to allow ___ ____ to assist in locking down the during _________ _________.

How do you know when the oleo is properly "bled"?

What component is used to attach and secure the outer cylinder and sliding piston to form the oleo strut?

Rigid gear is quite common on what type aircraft?

The piston/sliding tube is often kept in alignment within the outer cylinder through this component.

When towing aircraft, what component is usually disconnected prior to installing the tow bar?

To reduce bounce of the shock strut and smooth ground operation, this chamber is added for that purpose.

What component can be used to restrict flow in some shock struts?

Main gear that utilize spring steel and bungee chord construction are considered this type of set-up.
