757 Hydraulic System Flashcards
What is indicated by the hydraulic control panel “SYS PESS” light?
Low pressure in the associated hydraulic system
What is indicated by the “RSVR” light on the hydraulic control panel?
Low fluid quantity (less than 50%) or low pneumatic head pressure in the reservoir.
What does the amber “PRESS” light mean on an associated hydraulic pump?
Pump output pressure is low
What will happen if both center electric pumps are on and there is only one electrical source?
The right electric hydraulic pump will load shed
What does the “OVHT” light on the hydraulic control panel indicate?
An overheat in the associated pump case drain cooling
What happens when you turn off the engine driven hydraulic pump?
The associated engine driven pump is depressurized. This prevents pump output. Fluid continues to circulate through the pump for cooling and lubrication.
How many independent hydraulic systems?
Three
What systems are controlled by the left hydraulic system?
Flaps and slats Steer and gear Alternate brakes Flight controls Left thrust reverser Main cargo door Reserve fluid for PTU
What systems are controlled by the center hydraulic system?
Flight controls
Reserve fluid for RAT
What systems are controlled by the right hydraulic system?
Flight controls
Right thrust reverser
Normal brakes
Reserve fluid for reserve brakes
What does “SYS PRESS” light on the hydraulic control panel indicate?
Low pressure in the associated system
What does the “RSVR” light on the hydraulic control panel indicate?
Low quantity or head pressure
What does the “OVHT” light on the hydraulic control panel indicate?
Hot pump
What does “RAT PRESS” (green light) within the RAT switch indicate?
Deployed and good hydraulic pressure
What is the minimum airspeed for the RAT to develop adequate pressure?
130 Knots
When is the PTU inhibited?
When the right engine has failed
Pushing the reserve brake switch does what?
- ) allows use of the reserve hydraulic fluid
- ) activates the right electric hydraulic pump
- ) isolates the right electric hydraulic pump power to the normal brake system
How much fuel is required in the left main tank for hydraulic fluid cooling while on the ground.
4020 pounds
