Pulling an engine fire warning switch shuts off the hydraulic fluid flow to the related engine-driven pump and ______________. () deactivates its LOW PRESSURE light () engages the standby hydraulic system () activates the LOW PRESSURE light
Deactivates its LOW PRESSURE light
If a leak develops in the A system hydraulic engine-driven pump or its related lines, ________________________. () the system quantity will steadily decrease to 15% () a standpipe in the reservoir prevents a total system fluid loss () the quantity in the reservoir steadily decreases to zero and all system pressure is lost

If a leak develops in either pump, line or component of system B, ________________________. () the system quantity will steadily decrease to 15% () the quantity in the reservoir steadily decreases to approximately zero and system B pressure is lost, however the power transfer unit is still operational () the quantity in the reservoir steadily decreases approximately zero, system B pressure and the standby system pressure is lost
the quantity in the reservoir steadily decreases to approximately zero and system B pressure is lost, however the power transfer unit is still operational
The purpose of the PTU is to supply the additional volume of hydraulic fluid needed to operate the autoslats or the leading edge flaps and slats at the normal rate when ___________________.
