BOOK TWO, BLOCK THREE-HYDRAULICS

Question 1

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Answer 1

CAUTION SHALL BE TAKEN TO AVOID INJECTION OF FLUID, HYD SYSTEMS ON P-3S ARE COOLED VIA HEAT TRANSFER THROUGH LINES IN THE #2 AND #3 TANKS. A MINIMUM OF 1000 LBS OF FUEL IS REQUIRED TO NECESSITATE COOLING.

Question 2

HYDRAULIC THEORY BASICS

Answer 2

PASCAL’S LAW STATES THE PRESSURE EXERTED ANYWHERE UPON AN ENCLOSED LIQUID IS TRANSMITTED UNDIMINISHED, IN ALL DIRECTIONS, TO THE INTERIOR OF THE CONTAINER.

Question 3

PUMPS, P3C

Answer 3

HAS THREE ELECTRICALLY (AC) DRIVEN HYDRAULIC PUMPS AND ONE ELECTRICALLY (DC) DRIVEN PUMP.

Question 4

PUMPS, P8A

Answer 4

TWO ELECTRICALLY DRIVEN (AC) DRIVEN HYD PUMPS, AND TWO ENGINE DRIVEN PUMPS.

Question 5

DISTRIBUTION

Answer 5

WHEN PRESSURE IS EXERTED ON AN ENCLOSED LIQUID FORCE IT IS EVENLY DISTRIBUTED TO ALL ACTUATORS AND OR VALVES THROUGHOUT THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM THROUGH HYDRAULIC LINES.

Question 6

VALVES

Answer 6

VALVES DIRECT THE FLOW OF FLUID TO THE VARIOUS ACTUATING UNITSADDITIONALLY EACH VALVE IS CONSIDERED A PART OF ITS RELATED ACTUATING SYSTEM.

Question 7

RESERVOIRS, P3C

Answer 7

EACH HYDRAULIC SYSTEM HAS A FLUID RESERVOIR LOCATED IN THE HYDRAULIC SERVICE AREA. SYSTEM #1 RESERVOIR HASA TOTAL CAPACITY OF 5.6 GALLONS. SYSTEM #2 HAS A TOTAL CAPACITY OF 1 GALLON.

Question 8

RESERVOIRS,P8A

Answer 8

EACH HYDRAULIC SYSTEM HAS A FLUID RESERVOIR LOCATED IN THE MAIN WHEEL WELL AREA. SYSTEM A AND B RESERVOIRS ARE PRESSURIZED BY BLEED AIR. THE STANDBY SYSTEM RESERVOIR IS CONNECTED TOT HE SYTEM B RESERVOIR FOR PRESSURIZATION AND SERVICING.

Question 9

DEPENDENT EQUIPMENT/FUNCTIONS:BOOSTER ASSEMBLIES

Answer 9

THE BOOSTER SYSTEM IS DESIGNED SO THE PILOT HAS A NORMAL FEEL OF CONTROL FORCES WHEN HYDRAULIC PRESSUR EIS AVAILABLE TO THE BOOSTER CYLINDERS.

Question 10

DEPENDENT EQUIPMENT/FUNCTIONS:ACTUATORS

Answer 10

TRANSFORM HYDRAULIC FLUID PRESSURE INTO MECHANICAL FORCE, TO PERFORM WORK.
