Q

The #1 and #2 Hydraulic system each have an isolation valve which is normally open. What happens if the system fluid quantity is low?

A

2 system:

The isolation valve closes, and the related #1 or #2 HYD ISO VALVE caution light comes on.

Hydraulic power is only available for:
#1 system:

- PTU
- Rudder
- Elevators
  • Rudder
  • Elevators

Q

When does the Standby Hydraulic Pump operate automatically?

A
  • # 1 engine fails in flight, or
  • # 1 reservoir is not empty, and
  • Park brake is off, and
  • Flaps are set to more than 0 degrees, and
  • AC power is available

Note: the standby hydraulic pump flow rate is less than the EDP, thus services will operate at a slower rate.

Note: When the standby hydraulic pump operates automatically, the green ON legend does not come on.

Q

A priority valve is included in the #1 Hydraulic system and is normally open. If the Hydraulic pressure in #1 system decreases below 2100 psi….

A

The priority valve closes. This shuts off Hydraulic power to the flaps and PTU. Hydraulic power is maintained to the elevators, rudder, inboard spoilers and brakes.

17
Q

The PTU is a backup source to which system?

How does it operate?

A

2 Hydraulic system

The PTU uses Hydraulic pressure from the #1 system to power the Hydraulic motor. The motor then operated the Hydraulic Pump to pressurize the #2 system.

Hydraulic fluid is not shared or transferred between #1 and #2 Hydraulic systems during PTU operation. Hydraulic pressure must be available in the #1 and #2 system for PTU operation.

18
Q

The PTU may be operated manually or automatically. It automatically operates if:

A
  • # 2 reservoir is not empty, and
  • park brake is off, and
  • Flaps are set to more than 0, and
  • # 1 EDP pressure is more than 2,400 psi
19
Q

What does the #3 hydraulic system power?

A
  • It is an independent system which powers the left and right inboard elevator PCU’s.
  • The system operates automatically if the #1 and/or #2 hydraulic systems lose pressure or if both engines fail.
20
Q

Where is the alternate landing gear hydraulic reservoir located?

A
  • Lower right nose compartment
21
Q

What is the minimum hydraulic quantity for dispatch?

A
  • 40% in all 3 systems
22
Q

Where is the standby pump pressure indication?

A
  • MFD 2, scale indicates from 0-4000 in 1000 psi increments.
23
Q

Where are the PTU pressure indications displayed?

A
  • There is no pressure monitoring when the PTU is selected on manually. Thus, the green ON advisory light, on the PTU CNTRL switchlight, must be monitored when the PTU has been selected on.
24
Q

When does the #1 hydraulic system priority valve close?

A priority valve is included in the #1hyd system and is normally open

A
  • If the hydraulic pressure in the #1system decreases below 2100 psi
  • This shuts off hydraulic power to the flaps and PTU. Hydraulic pressure is maintained to the elevators, rudder, inboard spoilers and brakes.
25
Q

Which services will still operate when the #1 isolation valve closes?

A
  • Flaps
  • PTU
  • Elevator
  • Rudder

In other words, the following will be unavailable:

  • inboard roll spoilers
  • Normal brakes (anti-skid)
26
Q

Which services will still operate when the #2 isolation valve closes?

A
  • Elevator
  • Rudder

In other words the following services become unavailable:

  • outboard spoilers
  • nose wheel steering
  • emergency/ park brakes
  • Landing gear
27
Q

When do isolation valves close?

A

1 system: Flaps, PTU, Rudder, Elevators

  • If the system fluid quantity is low, the isolation valve closes, and the related #1 or #2 HYD ISO VLV caution light comes on.

Hydraulic power is available only for:

28
Q

What is the #4 hydraulic system for?

A
  • Alternate Landing Gear extension system
29
Q

When is the #3 hydraulic system used?

A
  • An independent system that powers the left and right inboard Elevator PCU’s.
  • It operates automatically if the #1 and/or #2 hydraulic systems lose pressure or if both engines fail.
  • It can also be engaged manually by pushing the HYD #3 ISOL VLV switchlight.
30
Q

How is the #3 hydraulic system powered?

A
  • A DC motor pump operates automatically to keep the accumulator pressurized between 2600 to 3250 psi.
  • Electrical power is supplied to the DCMP by the standby battery.
  • When the DCMP isn’t operating, the accumulator holds a reserve of pressure.
  • The DCMP operates intermittently and is controlled by two pressure switches installed on the accumulator isolation valve. One switch signals the DCMP to operate if system pressure drops to 2600 psi and commands the DCMP to stop when the system reaches 3250 psi.
31
Q

When does the #3 HYD PUMP caution light illuminate?

A
  • A switch causes the #3 HYD PUMP caution light to come on when the system pressure falls to 900 psi, or the DCMP has been operating for more than 60 seconds on the ground.
32
Q

Hydraulic System Abbreviations to remember which system powers what?

A

FAIREP:

  • Flaps
  • Anti-skid brakes
  • Inboard Spoilers
  • Rudder
  • Elevator
  • PTU

PROGEN:

  • Parking (emerg) brake
  • Rudder
  • Outboard roll spoilers
  • Gear
  • Elevator
  • Nose-Wheel steering
