The shock strut has the highest efficiency when

its rebound characteristic ensures the wheel stays on ground during a safe landing.

its rebound characteristic ensures the wheel stays on ground during a soft landing.

its rebound characteristic ensures the wheel stays on ground during a graceful landing.

its rebound characteristic ensures the wheel stays on ground during a hard landing.

How would a landing gear shock strut be serviced? (read carefully)

A visual inspection for leaks, damages, and proper operation is conducted.The shock strut is then refilled with Flammable fluid and inflated to the ideal pressure, followed by lubrication of all components. A final inspection will then be conducted to ensure it is in peak condition for operation.

A visual inspection for leaks, damages, and proper operation is conducted.The shock strut is then refilled with hydraulic fluid and inflated to the ideal pressure, followed by lubrication of all components. A final inspection will then be conducted to ensure it is in peak condition for operation.

A visual inspection for leaks, damages, and proper operation is conducted.The shock strut is then refilled with hydraulic fluid and deflated to the ideal pressure, followed by lubrication of all components. A first inspection will then be conducted to ensure it is in peak condition for operation.

A visual inspection for exhaustion, injuries, and proper operation for surgery is conducted.The shock strut is then refilled with hydraulic fluid and inflated to the ideal pressure, followed by lubrication of all components. A final inspection will then be conducted to ensure it is in peak condition for operation.

The tire centre ribs are worn away but the shoulder ribs are still quite deep in depth. What does this indicate?

The tire has been inflated.

The tire has been overinflated.

The tire has not been overinflated.

The tire has been deflated.

What is the main advantage of having a fixed landing gear?

Lighter and provides better stability as compared to a retractable landing gear

Lighter and provides better stability as compared to a rectangle landing gear

Heavier and provides better stability as compared to a retractable landing gear

Light and provides weaker stability as compared to a retractable landing gear

What is the main purpose of the metering pin?

To regulate the flow of hydraulic fluid from the aircraft's hydraulic system to the landing gear shock strut during retraction.

To regulate the flow of hydraulic fluid from the aircraft's hydraulic system to the landing gear shock strut during extension

To regulate the flow of hydraulic fluid from the aircraft's hydraulic system to the landing gear shock strut during extension and retraction.

To regulate the flow of hydraulic fluid from the aircraft's hydraulic system to the landing gear shock strut during extension and not retraction.
