Q

How do you know the RAT deployed?

A

UNLKD light illuminated

20
Q

How is the RAT manually deployed?

A

Hot Battery Bus
Push Button

21
Q

What does the Green PRESS light indicate?

A

RAT producing HYD pressure for flight controls. >130kts

22
Q

When selecting the R HYD electric demand pump AUTO what needs to be checked?

A

System low pressure light OFF
Demand pump light OFF
Brake source light OFF
3000PSI

23
Q

How can brake pressure be increased on the ground?

A

Turn on the R electric demand pump

24
Q

What is checked as the C2 pump is selected on?

A

System low pressure light OFF
C2 pump light OFF

25
Q

What is checked as the C1 pump is selected on?

A

Check the C1 pump light out only

26
Q

When selecting the L HYD electric demand pump to AUTO, what will you see?

A

C2 pump on
Galley Shed

27
Q

How are yaw dampers controlled?

A

Electrical control – Normal AC power
Hydraulically actuated

28
Q

In the event of a normal AC power failure, how does the Boeing logic power the Yaw dampers?

A

Standby AC bus

29
Q

What is needed for the yaw dampers to work correctly?

A

1 IRU
Electrical AC power
Centre (Left Yaw Damper) and Left (Right Yaw Damper) Hydraulic power

30
Q

What will bring on a single Yaw damper INOP light?

A

Failure of Centre (Left Yaw Damper) and Left (Right Yaw Damper) Hydraulic power

31
Q

What are the considerations for a Rudder Ratio changer failure at high/low speed?

A

High speed – large movement of control surface could damage airframe
Low Speed – full movement of control surface may not be available ie x-wind

32
Q

What does the HYD OVHT light indicate?

A

Primary pump is overheating

33
Q

What does the HYD ON/Pressure light indicate?

A

Primary Pump is On
When pump is on its putting out low pressure

34
Q

What is the ELEC/AIR press/OVHT light indicating?

A

Electric/Air Demand Pump has overheated
Electric/Air Demand Pump pressure

35
Q

The HYD selector does what?

A

Controls selection for the backup supply

36
Q

In the auto position, When does the demand pump work?

A

High Demand
Low Pressure from the Primary pump
Boeing commands it

37
Q

How are the flight controls moved?

A

Input to actuator moves HYD fluid to move surface

38
Q

What happens with a Rudder Ratio changer as airspeed increases?

A

Boeing desensitises inputs from the pilot

39
Q

When would you expect to see a door and disagree light with regards to the tail skid?

A

Alternate gear extension.
Alternate gear extension does close the doors after they open

40
Q

How are the flaps and slats powered?

A

Electrically commanded - input to actuator moving HYD fluid through the flap control unit
Centre HYD system

41
Q

What is asymmetry protection?

A

Prevents uncommanded roll
Available for LE and TE in normal mode

42
Q

What protections are provided for TE flap in alternate flap extension?

A

None

43
Q

What is slat disagree?

A

Flap/slat not in commanded position

44
Q

What fluid is used to set the park brake?

A

Anti Skid Return fluid

45
Q

When do the electric demand pumps work?

A

High demand
Low pressure
Boeing Logic

46
Q

An example for high demand?

A

Landing gear or flap actuation

47
Q

Example of low pressure for the electric demand pump?

A

AC Power failure
