Aircraft Brakes: DGCA Technical General questions
Braking sits within wider landing gear topics here: retraction and locks, oleo struts, nose wheel steering, tyres, aquaplaning and anti-skid. Brakes turn the aeroplane's energy into heat, and many facts follow from that.
Expect short factual items and one standard calculation among the 24 questions. Exam sessions have tested 5 of these.
Minimum aquaplaning speed in knots is 9 times the square root of tyre pressure in psi. Tyre pressures are checked cold, since a tyre warmed by braking or a long taxi reads high. Brake fade comes from overheating. Creep is the tyre slipping round the wheel rim, shown by creep marks that no longer line up.
