During landing-gear retraction, the automatic brake actuator applies the brakes to stop wheel spin. This unit is responsible for automatically engaging the brakes when the landing gear is being retracted to prevent the wheels from spinning freely. The automatic brake actuator ensures that the wheels are properly controlled and do not rotate excessively during the retraction process, enhancing the safety and stability of the aircraft.

(421) In the event a brake line ruptures and the hydraulic fuse sets, how much hydraulic fluid( in cubic inches) will be lost?
- A.
  
  10(+5/-0)
- B.
  
  20(+10/-0)
- C.
  
  40(+10/-0)
Correct Answer
C. 40(+10/-0)

Explanation
If a brake line ruptures and the hydraulic fuse sets, it means that the hydraulic fuse will activate and stop the flow of hydraulic fluid. Therefore, the amount of hydraulic fluid lost will depend on the size of the brake line and the pressure at which the hydraulic system operates. Since the answer is 40(+10/-0) cubic inches, it suggests that in this scenario, approximately 40 cubic inches of hydraulic fluid will be lost.

(422) During a postflight debriefing, the pilot reports that the antiskid is completely inopertive. Upon inspection you find that the antiskid switch is ON, and all circuit breakers are engaged. What would be the next component to be checked
- A.
  
  Brake pedals
- B.
  
  The accumulator
- C.
  
  Antiskid control box
Correct Answer
C. Antiskid control box

Explanation
The next component to be checked would be the antiskid control box. Since the antiskid switch is ON and all circuit breakers are engaged, the issue is likely with the control box itself. By inspecting the control box, it can be determined if there is a malfunction or any other issue that is causing the antiskid system to be completely inoperative.

(423) During the testing of a brake assembly, you reduce the pressure to 75psi, what are you simulating?
- A.
  
  Back Pressure
- B.
  
  Static Pressure
- C.
  
  Emergency Pressure
Correct Answer
A. Back Pressure

Explanation
Reducing the pressure to 75psi during the testing of a brake assembly simulates back pressure. Back pressure refers to the resistance or force exerted against the normal flow of fluid or gas in a system. In the context of a brake assembly, back pressure simulates the resistance or force that occurs when the brakes are applied, mimicking real-world conditions and allowing for accurate testing and evaluation of the brake system's performance.

(424) In the aircraft's roll axis, what system compensates for imbalance or external enviromental conditions that affects stabilized flight?
- A.
  
  Mechanical
- B.
  
  Elecrical
- C.
  
  Trim
Correct Answer
C. Trim

Explanation
The trim system in the aircraft's roll axis compensates for any imbalance or external environmental conditions that affect stabilized flight. This system helps to adjust the aircraft's control surfaces to maintain a desired attitude and reduce the pilot's workload. By making small adjustments to the trim, the aircraft can counteract any imbalances or external factors that may cause it to roll off course, ensuring a more stable and controlled flight.

(424) What component improves stick feel characteristics and reduces undersirable structural coupling oscillations?
- A.
  
  Roll damper
- B.
  
  Yaw damper
- C.
  
  Load fee control assemble
Correct Answer
A. Roll damper

Explanation
The roll damper is the component that improves stick feel characteristics and reduces undesirable structural coupling oscillations. The roll damper helps to stabilize the aircraft during roll movements and reduces the effects of structural vibrations or oscillations that can occur during flight. By dampening these oscillations, the roll damper improves the overall feel and control of the aircraft, providing a smoother and more stable flying experience.

(424) What surface is used to augment the ailerons to achieve the roll rate commanded either by the pilot or copilot?
- A.
  
  Elevator
- B.
  
  Rudder
- C.
  
  Spoiler
Correct Answer
C. Spoiler

Explanation
Spoilers are used to augment the ailerons to achieve the roll rate commanded by the pilot or copilot. Spoilers are surfaces located on the wings that disrupt the airflow over the wings, reducing lift and increasing drag. By deploying spoilers on one wing while retracting them on the other, the aircraft can roll in the desired direction. This helps in controlling the roll motion of the aircraft during maneuvers and allows for precise control of the aircraft's bank angle.

(425) What component ensures that areodynamic loads push the spoiler panel to retract in the event of hydraulic system failure?
- A.
  
  Electro-hydraulic Servo Valve, second stage.
- B.
  
  Electro-hydraulic Servo Valve, first stage.
- C.
  
  Fixed load free/ centering assembly
Correct Answer
A. Electro-hydraulic Servo Valve, second stage.

Explanation
The correct answer is Electro-hydraulic Servo Valve, second stage. The second stage of the electro-hydraulic servo valve ensures that aerodynamic loads push the spoiler panel to retract in the event of hydraulic system failure. This component is responsible for controlling the flow of hydraulic fluid to the spoiler panel, allowing it to retract when necessary.
