Hydraulic System Flashcards
How many hydraulic systems are there/
3, L R C
How many pumps on L R C systems?
2 on each. L and R have one engine and one electric. C has two electric pumps
PTU connects what two systems?
Transfers hydraulic power from the R to L
Which system does the RAT provide pressure to?
C
When is the PTU activated?
- left engine fails (<50% N2)
- or the left ENG pump output pressure is low
- and the right egine is operating normally.
What does the PTU operate when activated?
- Flaps
- Slats
- Landing Gear
- Nose Wheel Steering
When does the RAT deploy?
Loss of L and R engines in flight, RAT auto deploys and provides pressure to C system.
What is the RAT deployment circuitry powered by?
Hot Batt bus
Can the RAT be deployed manually?
Yes, with Ram Air Turb switch. Caution - It can be deployed manually on the ground.
At what speed with the RAT provide adequate hyd pressure?
130 kts
The L, R and C systems are pressurized at approximately what PSI
3000 psi
Which system operates the Landing gear and nose wheel steering?
L
At what reservoir quantity does the RF for refill display?
.75 or 75%. RSVR light illuminates at 50%
All System reservoirs have a reserve. In each system, what is the reserve used for?
L - PTU
R- Reserve brakes
C- RAT
-300 what provides power to AC busses if power is lost?
the HDG or hydraulic driven gen in L system
