Purpose Training Information Point

taxi and heavy brake use.
Location
The body of the main gear damper attaches to the

forward end of the upper torsion link. The piston rod
goes through the forward ends of the upper and lower
torsion links.
Functional Description
Vibration between the inner and outer cylinders causes

the inner cylinder to rotate inside the outer cylinder.
This causes the piston to move right and left again and
again inside the main gear damper body.
As the piston moves, hydraulic fluid moves through the

damping orifices. This prevents the piston from too
much movement. The damper connects to the return line
of main landing gear extension and retraction.
The compensator keeps the pressure inside the damper to

32-10-CC-007 Rev 0 07/23/1998
30-70 psi.
The 75 psi relief valve protects the compensator if the

pressure increases to more than 75 psi.
The 3000 psi relief valve protects the piston if the

pressure increases to more than 3000 psi.

The landing gear logic shelf sends a signal to energize
the lever lock solenoid when all of these conditions
are true:
- Air sensing squat switch (M991) is in the air mode

- S1 air sensing test switch is not pushed.
When the airplane is in the air, the air safety sensor

(S106) is near its target. This sends a signal to the
air sensing squat switch (M991) and changes it to the
air mode. This engergizes the air sense relay (R276).
This engergizes the lever lock solenoid (M241). When
the lever lock solenoid energizes, it retracts. This
turns the lever lock to the not locked position. This
lets the pilot move the landing gear lever to the UP
position.
When the S1 air sensing test switch is pushed, the

32-31-CC-008 Rev 1 10/19/2000

Purpose
During the extension and retraction sequences, the

transfer cylinder gives a time delay. This lets the
main landing gear unlock before the main gear actuator
receives pressure.
Location
The transfer cylinder is on the rear spar of the left

and right wings.
The transfer cylinder has a piston that moves freely in

the cylinder. One side of the piston connects to the
down pressure. The other side connects to the up
pressure. The piston moves when up or down pressure
goes to the transfer cylinder. When the piston moves,
it pushes the fluid from the pressure side to the side
of the transfer cylinder that does not have pressure.

Purpose
During the extension and retraction sequence, the

transfer cylinder gives a time delay to let the nose
landing gear unlock before the nose landing gear
actuator receives pressure.
Location
The transfer cylinder is on the forward bulkhead of the

The transfer cylinder has a piston that moves freely in

the cylinder. One side of the piston connects to the
down pressure. The other side connects to the up
pressure. The piston moves when up or down pressure
goes to the transfer cylinder. When the piston moves,
it pushes fluid from the side of the transfer cylinder
that does not have pressure.

HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEM - ALTERNATE BRAKE SELECTOR AND ACCUMULATOR ISOLATION VALVES
Purpose
The alternate brake selector valve selects and sends

hydraulic systems B or A pressure to the normal or
alternate brake systems.
The accumulator isolation valve holds pressure in the

brake accumulator when the alternate brake system gets
pressure.
Location
Both valves are in the main landing gear wheel well on

the upper bulkhead.
Both valves are the same and are interchangeable except

for a pressure switch on the alternate brake selector
valve.
Each valve gets pressure from two sources. The

pressures push on pistons in the valves that have
different areas. This moves the valves to select the
brake source.

fuses in the alternate brake lines each protect both
brakes on a main landing gear during alternate brake
operation.
Location
The brake hydraulic fuses for the normal brake system

are on the aft bulkhead of the main landing gear wheel
well.
The brake hydraulic fuses for the alternate brake

system are on the outboard sides of the upper bulkhead
of the main landing gear wheel well.
If 42 to 80 cubic inches (0.7-1.3 liters) of fluid goes

through the hydraulic fuse, it closes. When the
pressure differential across the hydraulic fuse

decreases between 0 and 5 psi, the fuse resets.
A reset lever permits manual reset of the hydraulic

fuse. To reset the hydraulic fuse, move the reset lever
in the direction shown on the placard near the fuse.
This operates a bypass valve inside the hydraulic fuse
that makes the pressure on each side of the fuse equal.

Physical Description DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT CAN OCCUR.
The brake assembly is a rotor-stator unit that operates

using hydraulic pressure. The assembly uses multiple
steel discs as rotors and stators.
Pistons apply brake system hydraulic pressure to the

pressure plate. The pressure plate forces the stators

and rotors together in the brake housing. This slows or

stops the wheel. The adjusters automatically adjust for
brake wear.
Two indicator pins on the inboard side of the brake

housing show brake wear. You must apply the brakes to
check the wear indicator pins.

PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM - INTRODUCTION
Purpose
The parking brake system uses the normal hydraulic

brake system to keep the main landing gear brakes
applied when you park the airplane.
Parking Brake System Indication
A red parking brake light adjacent to the parking brake

lever shows the condition of the parking brake system.
A light on the external power panel also shows the

condition of the parking brake system.
CAUTION: PARKING BRAKES SHOULD NOT BE SET FOLLOWING A

HIGH ENERGY STOP. HIGH ENERGY STOPS ARE
DEFINED AS A REFUSED TAKE OFF OR ANY STOP
OTHER THAN NORMAL. UNDER STATIC PRESSURE, HOT
BRAKE SURFACES TEND TO FUSE TOGETHER.
THEREFORE, AFTER A HIGH ENERGY STOP, OR
FOLLOWING TOUCH AND GO STOPS, A COOLING PERIOD
OF 40 TO 60 MINUTES SHOULD BE ALLOWED BEFORE
THE PARKING BRAKE IS SET.

- Parking brake repeater light the hydraulic system return through the brake metering
- Parking brake close sense relay valves.
- Parking brake shutoff valve.
General Description
When you push the brake pedals and pull the parking
brake lever, the linkage latches the brake pedals in
the brakes-applied position. This operates the brake
metering valves, which supply pressure to the brakes.
The parking brake switch sends a signal to close the

parking brake shutoff valve.
The parking brake shutoff valve does not let brake

pressure leak from the return of the normal antiskid
valves.
32-44-CC-002 Rev 0 08/06/1998
The parking brake shutoff valve sends a signal to

operate the parking brake light. The valve also sends a
signal to the antiskid control unit.

PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM - PARKING BRAKE SHUTOFF VALVE
Purpose
The parking brake shutoff valve closes to prevent brake

accumulator pressure leakage through the normal
antiskid valve return.
Location
The parking brake shutoff valve is on the aft bulkhead

The valve is a 28v dc motor-operated valve. It has a

manual override lever which shows the position of the
valve and lets you move the valve manually. The
nameplate on the motor shows the position of the manual
override lever. The lever is in the open position when
the lever is near the POSITION 1 or OPEN position on
the nameplate. The lever is in the closed position when
the lever is near the POSITION 2 or CLOSED position on
the nameplate.
When the parking brake shutoff valve closes, it closes

32-44-CC-004 Rev 0 08/01/1998
the return lines from the normal antiskid valves. This

prevents brake system pressure loss caused by internal
leakage in the normal antiskid valves.
An internal position switch in the valve sends a valve

position signal to the antiskid control unit.

The antiskid system monitors wheel deceleration and

controls the brake metered pressure to prevent skid
conditions. The antiskid functions include:
- Skid control
- Locked wheel protection
- Touchdown protection
- Gear retract inhibit.
The autobrake system supplies metered brake pressure to

stop the airplane after the airplane lands or if a
rejected takeoff (RTO) occurs.

EFFECTIVITY
FS003 32-42-CC
- 35 -
When a wheel skids, the ACU sends signals to the
antiskid valves. If the normal brake system has
pressure, the antiskid valve in the normal hydraulic
brake system releases pressure for that wheel. This
permits wheel speed to increase and stop the skid
condition.
The normal antiskid valve releases unwanted brake

pressure through the parking brake valve. The antiskid
system monitors the correct operation of the parking
brake valve to make sure the unwanted brake pressure
can be released.
If the alternate hydraulic brake system has pressure,

the antiskid system operates almost the same as the
normal system. If a wheel on one main landing gear
skids, the antiskid valve in the alternate hydraulic
brake system releases the brake pressure to the two
brakes on that main landing gear.
The ACU sends signals to the auto speedbrake module

when each wheel speed is more than 60 knots. The auto
speedbrake module uses the wheel speed input to operate
the auto speedbrake actuator.
