Chapter 13 - Hydraulics Flashcards by Chris Spradlin

Hydraulic Pumps

Engine Driven Pumps - EDP

4 Seperate pumps each providing 3000psi

Demand Pumps - DP

4 Seperate pumps automatically operate during periods of high demand or if the EDP fails.

DP #1 & #4 are pneumatically powered

DP #2 & #3 are electrically powered

AUX - AP

Electrically powered on system 4 for use on the ground to power the brakes.

Reservoirs

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.

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

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.

When do the demand pumps come on without a loss of pressure from the EDPs?

Inflight

Flaps out of up

On the ground

Flaps are in transit

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

Yes

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

For primary brakes through normal brake system.

ADP and EDP lights remain illuminated.

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

Nose wheel steering and brake backup.

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?

DP 1 is pneumatically powered

AP is electrically powered

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

• Engine pump output is low

• Fuel Control Switch is in cutoff

• Flaps in transit on the ground

• Flaps out of up in flight

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

The Ground Handling Bus.

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

No.

Name the power sources for the Demand pumps?

• Number 1 and 4 are air driven

• Number 2 and 3 are electric

**What causes the hydraulic SYS FAULT light to illuminate?**

**• Low hydraulic system pressure** **• Low hydraulic reservoir quantity** **• Excessive hydraulic fluid temp**

**What is the minimum hydraulic quantity for dispatch?**

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

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

**You have lost hydraulic systems 4, 1 and 2**

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

**• 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**

**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?**

**• 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.**

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

**• Indicates that refill of the hydraulic reservoir is required** **• It is displayed on the Secondary EICAS Status Page and Hydraulic Synoptic** **• No**

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

80% of normal service level

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

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

How does pulling a fire switch affect the hydraulic system?

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

What drives the Auxillary Pump system 4 is driven by?

Electrically via the Ground Handling Bus

During preflight, the minimum hydraulic quantity is?

.80

*When is the Auxillary Hydraulic Pump available?*

*Only on the ground*

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

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

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

* Low hydraulic system pressure.*

*With a DP selector ON the associated pump will run?*

*Continuously*

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

*Engine 1 is rotating*

*An illuminated demand pump PRESS light may indicate?*

*The associated aux pump is running and pressure is normal.*
