Hydraulic Flashcards
(36 cards)
What is the capacity of the main system reservoir?
2.4 US GAL
What type of fluid is used?
MIL-H-5606C
What pressurizes the hydraulic reservoir system?
Engine bleed air
What does a HYD OVHT annunciator indicate?
Fluid temperatures in excess of 90C
What does a HYD # LO PRESS annunciator indicate?
Main supply low pressure warning, <= 1500 PSI
What does an EMERG BRK LO PRESS annunciator indicate?
Emergency brakes low pressure warning. Pressure <= 2250 PSI
What is the power source of the hydraulic pressure indicator?
DC electric
What happens to the hydraulic pressure indicator if DC electric power is lost?
Indicator shows OFF
What position must the airbrakes be in IOT properly sight the fluid level gauge?
Airbrakes must be shut
What pressure should the HYD TANK pressure gauge show?
15 PSI
When starting the engines, at what point will the HYD # LO PRESS annunciator extinguish?
1750 PSI
What pressure should the system stabilize at?
3000 PSI
How long is the delay before the low pressure switch activates a low pressure annunciation?
57 seconds?
What can cause both low pressure annunciators to illuminate?
If both pumps fail or if system fluid is lost
What pressure should the pressure indicator show if both pumps fail or if system fluid is lost?
2300 PSI
Why will the pressure indicator show 2300 PSI in the event of system fluid loss or a dual pump failure?
The pressure-maintaining valve has closed, trapping pressure in the main accumulator for normal brake operation
In the event of a dual pump failure or system fluid loss, what system should be available?
Normal brakes
In the event of a dual pump failure or system fluid loss, what systems can be operated by the AUX hydraulic system?
Landing gear and flaps
Is there any indication for system fluid loss?
No
How can system fluid loss from a subsystem be detected?
An abnormal drop in pressure as that subsystem is activated
Can flight be continued in the event of a HYD OVHT indication?
Yes, however fault must be corrected prior to the next flight
How is the AUX hydraulic system pressurized?
The hand pump
What is the capacity and location of the AUX hydraulic tank?
6 pints, located in the nose gear bay
What AUX hydraulic fluid level reduction will result in an AUX HYD LO LEVEL annunciation?
> = .5 pints
