Read the following passage regarding naval flight deck equipment:
Aircraft carrier arresting gear systems, such as the Mark 7 Mod 3, decelerate high-speed landing aircraft within a short distance on the flight deck. The system utilizes four forged steel cross-deck pendant cables suspended above the deck by retractable wire supports. When a landing aircraft's tailhook snags a pendant cable, the kinetic energy is transferred to an engine cylinder located below deck, where hydraulic fluid is displaced through an accumulator valve to absorb the shock. Operators must inspect each pendant cable after every hundred arrested landings or whenever excessive fraying is detected. The arresting engine retracts the cable back to its ready position within thirty seconds using pneumatic pressure. The system is designed to operate exclusively with mechanical and hydraulic energy, requiring no auxiliary electrical power during the mechanical arrestment cycle.
Based on the passage, match each statement on the left with its factual verification status on the right.
- Hydraulic fluid displacement through a below-deck accumulator valve absorbs the aircraft's landing shock.Supported by text: Directly confirmed as the hydraulic mechanism that absorbs kinetic energy.
- Auxiliary electrical power is required to assist the gear during the mechanical arrestment cycle.Contradicted by text: The passage states that no auxiliary electrical power is required.
- Operators must routinely inspect each pendant cable after every five hundred arrested landings.Contradicted by text: The passage specifies inspection after every hundred landings, not five hundred.
