Q

The purpose of the PTU is:

A

Supply the additional volume of hydraulic fluid needed to operate the autoslats and leading edge flaps and slats at the normal rate when system B engine-driven hydraulic pump volume is inoperative.

Q

Positioning ALTERNATE FLAPS to ARM will do what?

A
  1. Arm the standby electric hydraulic pump
  2. Close the trailing edge flaps bypass valve
  3. Arms the alternate flap position switch
  4. Allows standby system to power the leading edge flaps, slats, and thrust reversers.

Q

Positioning either FLT CONTROL switch to STBY RUD will do what?

A
  1. Activates the standby electric pump
  2. Opens standby rudder valve
  3. Closes same side flight control SOV
  4. Allows stby sys to power rudder and TR
  5. Deactivates flight control LOW PRESSURE light
  6. Illuminates STBY RUD ON, MASTER CAUTION, and FLT CONT lights.

Q

Automatic operation of the standby system will do what?

A
  1. Activates the standby electric-motor driven pump
  2. Opens the standby rudder SOV
  3. Allows the standby system to power the rudder and thrust reversers
  4. Illuminates the STBY RUD, MASTER CAUTION, and FLT CONT lights.
