How many independent hydraulic systems does the 777 have?
3
Left, Centre & Right - each system has its own reservoir.
What powers the Left hydraulic system?
An engine driven pump & an electric motor pump
The right hydraulic system is powered by?
Also powered by an engine driven pump & an electric motor pump.
The Left & Right systems are identical
The engine driven pumps are the …………. Pumps?
Primary Pumps.
They are the main source of hydraulic power & operate when the engines are running.
The Electric Pumps are the …………. Pumps?
Demand
What’s the purpose of the Demand Pumps?
To supplement the Primary Pumps when demand is high.
The Centre hydraulic system uses ……… Electric Pumps as the ……….. Pumps
2, Primary
In the Centre hydraulic system, what type of pumps serve as Demand Pumps?
2 Air Driven pumps serve as Demand Pumps.
The air pumps are powered by bleed air.
A RAT (Ram Air Turbine) provides back-up hydraulic power to which system?
Centre hydraulic - the airstream powers the RAT
The hydraulic synoptic shows the system fluid quantities in …………. Of normal service level.
Percentage %
The left hydraulic system powers the ?
L thrust reverser & some of the flight controls
The Right hydraulic system powers which systems?
Normal brakes
R thrust reverser
Some flight controls
The Centre hydraulic system powers?
Nose Gear & Steering
ALTN/RSV Brakes
Flaps (& slats)
Main Gear & Steering
Some flight controls
How many hydraulic systems are required to power enough of the flight controls for safe flight?
Any one (1) system
Why do we set the Right Demand Pump selector (to auto) before selecting the other pumps?
Prevents fluid transfer
