Q
  1. Describe operation of the utility hydraulic system.
A

If the combined system pressure drops below 800 psi, the utility system
acts as a backup, drawing fluid from the combined hydraulic system reservoir,
and pump motor operation from the flight hydraulic system pressure

Q
  1. If the flight hydraulic fluid is hot, what is the effect on the utility system
    operation?

Q
  1. With a loss of the flight hydraulic system pump and/or fluid, what systems are
    not available?
A

Right thrust reverser
Utility hydraulic pump operation
Yaw damper and auto pilot

17
Q
  1. What is indicated by a green “REV ARM” light on touchdown?
A

The thrust reversers are armed and available for use, sensed by nutcrackers
switching to the ground mode, or through wheel-speed spin-up on most aircraft
and idle power levers.

18
Q
  1. Which hydraulic systems are capable of providing normal braking with anti-
    skid protection?
A

Combined
Utility
Auxiliary

19
Q
  1. What is the normally configured position of the utility pump in flight?
A

ARMED

20
Q
  1. With a loss of combined hydraulic fluid, what is the primary reason that the
    aux hydraulic pump is selected ON prior to landing?
A

To allow the ground spoilers to operate normally
Braking is secondary, as braking should occur when the brake pedals
are depressed with the aux pump in the ARMED position

21
Q
  1. What action is required if a red “REV UNLOCK” CAS message illuminates in
    flight?
A

Reduce power on the affected engine and select the emergency stow switch
to STOW
Maintain a maximum airspeed of 200 KCAS

22
Q
  1. How is the auxiliary hydraulic pump powered?
A

By using DC power through the battery tie bus

23
Q
  1. How can the utility hydraulic system be actuated?
A

Manually by the pilot

Automatically in the event of a combined hydraulic failure
