Sky-High Success: Ace the FAA AMT Airframe Practice Exam 2025 – Soar to New Heights!

Question: 1 / 1030

What should be checked when a shock strut bottoms during a landing?

Air pressure

Hydraulic fluid level

When a shock strut bottoms during a landing, the hydraulic fluid level should be checked. This is because the shock strut absorbs the impact of the landing by compressing the hydraulic fluid, and if the fluid level is too low, it can cause the strut to bottom out and potentially damage the aircraft. Checking the air pressure (A) may also be important, but the hydraulic fluid level is the primary concern in this scenario. Tire pressure (C) and spring tension (D) are not related to the functioning of the shock strut and will not affect its performance.
