Hydraulics Flashcards
What is the Open Center system normally pressurized at?
60 psi
What systems are operated by the open center system
Landing gear
Speed brakes
Thrust attenuators
Flaps
When does the system pressurize to 1500 psi?
When a hydraulic component requires actuation. (One of the four systems is put in use)
Hydraulic reservoir
Mounted under right engine pylon
Pressurized by 23 psi (moves fluid to pump)
2 liters / .54 gallons
Hydraulic fluid type
MIL-H-83282
Hydraulic pumps how many gallons per minute
1.3 gal at 60 psi
3 gal at 1500 psi
Where is the hydraulic SOV located
Between pump and reservoir
What is the hydraulic SOV connected to?
Engine Fire Push Button
Flow switches/check valves
Prevents reverse flow when and if the pumps provide different pressures.
When closed, causes the HYD FLOW LOW annunciator when flow is below .35 to .55 GPM
Reopens when when above 1.33 GPM
System loading valve / system bypass valve (SBPV)
Energizes closed to operate hydraulic systems. (Closes to keep it 1500 psi)
Closes when one of the 4 subsystems are actuated.
Pressure relief cracks at 1350 psi and fully opens at 1500.
HYD PRESS ON annunciation
What do the 4 system control valves do?
Electronically de energize OPEN to begin actuation.
Electronically energize CLOSED when cycle is complete
Normal Operation Sequence
1: Pilot activates a selected subsystem
2: System bypass valve (SBPV) pressurized the system (closes valve), illuminating HYD PRESS ON annunciation
3: Subsystem control valve opens, allowing for pressurization
4: Subsystem cycle completes, showing the correct cockpit indication
5: Subsystem control valve closes,
6: SBVP opens, back to 60 psi, HYD PRESS ON annunciator extinguishes
What keeps landing gear selector from retracting on the ground
Downlock Solenoid
Main Gear
Retracts inboard
Door does not cover entire gear when retracted
3 fuse plugs
Visual pop out indicator on actuator when downlock is engaged
Nose gear (doors, degrees and shimmy)
3 gear doors
20 degrees steerable with pedals. 64 degrees with braking and diff power
Shimmy damper on top of strut
How is the landing gear locked
Uplocks/downlocks
Hydraulics do not hold gear in place
No trapped hydraulic pressure
Gear warnings
Gear not down and locked when either throttle is below 70%N2 and the air speed is less than 130. Can be silenced
Any gear not down and locked when flaps are beyond 15 degrees
Emergency gear
Mechanical controls to unlock the gear and pneumatic pressure to extend the lines
Speed brakes and complete loss of DC power
Speed brakes blow to trail
At what N2 will the speed brakes automatically retract
85%
When do speed brakes automatically extend?
Flaps 60 selected and flaps moving past 38 degrees
How many limit switches associated with speed brakes?
Four
All four must be closed for the SPD BRK EXTEND to remain illuminated
What conditions must be met for thrust attenuators to deploy?
Throttles within 1/4 inch of idle, and weight on wheels
How are thrust attenuators locked into positions
Hydraulic pressure
Flaps (how are they controlled, and what prevents asymmetrical ops)
Electrically controlled and hydraulically actuated.
Interconnecting bellcrank, flap fairlead, and cable system prevent asymmetrical flaps operation
How are flaps locked into place?
When the flap position matches the preselected position, the solenoid valve closes and the flaps are locked by trapped hydraulic fluid.
Flap warnings
Audible alert will sound if flaps are extended beyond approach setting without gear down
Wheel brakes (type, who’s has cylinders, part of the 4 subsystems?)
Disk type brakes
Independent from the rest of the hydraulic system
Power brake cylinders on both pilot and co pilot sides
Do we still get power braking with antiskid failure?
Yes, but not vice versa.
Brake fluid reservoir size
1 quart
Brake accumulator
Maintains pressure when pump is not running
Pre charged with nitrogen
What annunciation do we receive if pump pressure is below 750 psi
PWR BRK LOW PRESS (POWER BRAKE PRESSURE LOW)
ANTISKID INOP
Emergency brake system
Pneumatic backup in case of hydraulic failure
DO NOT PRESS BRAKES WHEN USING EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM!!!
Max output of 1 hydraulic pump
3 gallons per minute
HYD FLOW LO illuminates below what output value?
.35 to .55 GPM
How do you know if you have a hydraulic leak?
LH/RH HYD FLOW LOW annunciation
Number 1 concern if the HYD PRESS ON annunciation light stays on
Heat
