compressed airhow m |
|
how much oil should be put into an oleo shock strut |
deflate the strut completely and fill with oil to the level of filler plug |
|
what is the purpose of a centering cam in a nose wheel shock strut |
forces the nose wheel straight before it is retracted in the nose wheel well |
|
how does a shimmy damper keep a nose wheel from shimmiying |
act as a small shock absorber between the piston and the cylinder of nose wheel shock strut |
|
what is the purpose of a de booster in hydraulic power brake system |
decrease pressure and increase volume of fluid going to brakes |

bleed the brakes of the air in the system |
|
what is used in a split wheel to keep air from leaking between the two wheel halves |
o-ring seal |
|
what causes an aircraft tire to wear more on the shoulder |
tore is being operated in an under inflated condition |
|
what causes aircraft tire to wear more in the center |

what should be done with a tire that was on a wheel which was overheated enough to melt the fusible plug in the wheel |
scrap it |
|
why is it important that some aircraft with retractable landing gear be given a retraction test after new retreaded tires are installed |
to check if the tire locks up while being retracted |
|
how is the correct amount of air in an oleo shock strut determined |
by the amount the struct extends out of the cylinder when weight is on the aircraft |
|
where can you find the correct inflation pressure for the tires on an aircraft |

|
what is the purpose of the compensator port in a master cylinder of aircraft brakes |
open brake reservoir to the wheel cylinders when brakes are off to keep the brake from dragging |
|
what is the purpose of the shuttle valve in the brake system of an aircraft using hydraulic brakes |
automatic transfer valve allows break to be operated in normal condition and by the emergency back up system |
|
how does an anti skid brake system keep the wheel of an aircraft from skidding on a wet runway |
it monitor wheel deceleration and automatically releases pressure when sensing a skid and reapplies brake pressure |
