Q

Reservoirs

A

Independent reservoirs supply fluid to each hydraulic system. The bleed air system pressurizes the reservoirs to prevent pump cavitation and ensure positive flow during high demand conditions.

Q

If pressure is lost on System 4 will the BRAKE SOURCE light illuminate?

A

NO

If system 2 and/or 1 have sufficient pressure and automatic switching to alternate brakes
occurs, the light will not illumintate.

System 4, 1 and 2 must be low.

17
Q

Will the SYS FAULT light go out when the aux pump pressurizes?

A

Yes

18
Q

Why do we prssurize system 4 for for pushback with the aux pump?

A

For primary brakes through normal brake system.

ADP and EDP lights remain illuminated.

19
Q

Why do we pressurize system 1 with the Demand Pump for pushback?

A

Nose wheel steering and brake backup.

20
Q

You are now ready for pushback. You select the Demand pumps to auto and demand pump 4 to aux. Which pumps are electric and which are air driven?

A

DP 1 is pneumatically powered

AP is electrically powered

21
Q

The Demand Pump Selectors for System 1 and 4 are in AUTO. What will cause them to activate?

A

• Engine pump output is low

• Fuel Control Switch is in cutoff

• Flaps in transit on the ground

• Flaps out of up in flight

22
Q

The Auxiliary Hydraulic Pump(s) are powered by what bus or busses?

A

The Ground Handling Bus.

23
Q

The number 4 Auxiliary Hydraulic Pump is selected on. Is the number 4 SYS FAULT light illuminated

A

No.

24
Q

Name the power sources for the Demand pumps?

A

• Number 1 and 4 are air driven

• Number 2 and 3 are electric

25
Q

What causes the hydraulic SYS FAULT light to illuminate?

A

• Low hydraulic system pressure

• Low hydraulic reservoir quantity

• Excessive hydraulic fluid temp

26
Q

What is the minimum hydraulic quantity for dispatch?

A

.80 as indicated on the secondary EICAS HYD synoptic or STAT display

27
Q

What is the implication of a BRAKE SOURCE light illuminated in flight?

A

You have lost hydraulic systems 4, 1 and 2

28
Q

Hydraulic System 1 is unpowered. What major components are now unavailable?

A

• Nose and Body Gear hydraulic operation

• Nose and Body Gear steering

• Inboard Trailing Edge Flap hydraulic operation

• Autopilot Center

• Left outboard Elevator

• System 1 Alternate brakes

29
Q

Hydraulic System 1 EDP is leaking. The EICAS advisory message “HYD PRESS ENG 1” is displayed. You look on the STATUS Page and see that the system 1 quantity indicates zero. Is Hydraulic System 1 still powered? If so, why?

A

• Yes

• The ADP draws its supply from the reservoir bottom. The EDP draws its supply from the reservoir at a level above the bottom, but coincident with the zero index of the quantity indication.

30
Q

Why does RF display next to the hydraulic quantity indication? Where is it displayed? Will it display in flight?

A

• Indicates that refill of the hydraulic reservoir is required

• It is displayed on the Secondary EICAS Status Page and Hydraulic Synoptic

• No

31
Q

What does a hydraulic reservoir quantity indication of .80 mean, as displayed on the Secondary EICAS display?

A

80% of normal service level

32
Q

Why are the hydraulic reservoirs pressurized by the bleed air system?

A

To prevent pump cavitation
To ensure positive flow during high demand conditions

33
Q

How does pulling a fire switch affect the hydraulic system?

A

 Related hydraulic fluid shutoff valve closes
 The EDP depressurizes.
 The related demand pump operates.

34
Q

What drives the Auxillary Pump system 4 is driven by?

A

Electrically via the Ground Handling Bus

35
Q

During preflight, the minimum hydraulic quantity is?

A

.80

36
Q

When is the Auxillary Hydraulic Pump available?

A

Only on the ground

37
Q

During preflight, the most likely indication that a hydraulic system needs refilling is?

A

The lower EICAS Status page with magenta RF next to hydraulic quantity.

38
Q

The HYD SYS FAULT light on the overhead panel illuminates due to:

A
  • Low hydraulic system pressure.*
39
Q

With a DP selector ON the associated pump will run?

A

Continuously

40
Q

The engine driven pump on hydraulic system 1 should run when?

A

Engine 1 is rotating

41
Q

An illuminated demand pump PRESS light may indicate?

A

The associated aux pump is running and pressure is normal.
