Q

How does hydraulic fluid flow from the reservoir to the pump?

A

Due to the fact that the reservoir is mounted in the engine bay section above the hydraulic pump, the fluid gravity feeds from the reservoir into the pump with some aid by the bleed air pressure

Q

What is the difference between the utility hydraulic system’s flight control portion and the flight control hydraulic system?

A

They operate in the exact same way. The main difference is that they have independant actuation systems to prevent a leak in one system affecting the other system.
