A300 Classic SKV Hydraulic System Flashcards
How do you know the Power Transfer Unit (PTU) is working?
You can confirm PTU operation on the hydraulic systems page
While using the RAT to pressurize the Yellow hydraulic system, why won’t Yellow system pressure be available for braking during landing?
Yellow system pressure cannot be guaranteed below 140 KIAS
On the ground, when may the indications for hydraulic quantity be outside the upper green arc (Top Hat) on the hydraulic quantity indicators with white marks?
OAT below minus 10° C - indicator must be on or above lower left white mark
How many engine driven hydraulic pumps are there?
4-one Blue, two Green, one Yellow
What system does the Ram Air Turbine (RAT) power?
Yellow system
How many systems can a Power Transfer Unit (PTU) pressurize at the same time?
Only one, either the Blue or Yellow system
If the Yellow and both Green hydraulic pumps fail, extending the RAT will recover what?
Recover only the Yellow system
What is transferred using a PTU?
Hydraulic power only
Which component is not used inflight to recover a failed hydraulic system?
Hand pump
If the engine driven hydraulic pump for the Yellow system fails, what is available to recover the Yellow system?
Green to yellow PTU and the yellow RAT
How does a Power Transfer Unit (PTU) work?
It uses the Green hydraulic system to pressurize either the Blue or Yellow hydraulic system
What is the hydraulic hand pump in the right main gear area used for?
It opens cargo doors when electric power not available
What does the Parking Brake ACCU PRESS switch do?
It momentarily activates Yellow hydraulic system electric pump
On the ground, when may the indications for hydraulic quantity be outside the upper green arc?
OAT above 20° C - indicator may indicate quantity as high as the upper right mark
What is the purpose of the hydraulic priority valves?
To give priority to primary flight controls and brakes when hydraulic system pressure is low
