Q

How is the Hydraulic Reservoir Quantities accurately checked before Engine Start?

A

-Turn ON the “B”(ACMP 1B & 3B) and PTU Pumps to pressurize the System;
- Use the Hydraulic Synoptic page to read the value;
- Note: The quantity indications are only accurate when the System is Pressurized.

Q

When in AUTO, when will the ACMP 1B operate?

A
    1. When the Airplane is in the Takeoff or Approach phase;
    1. EDP 1A has failed or LH Engine is Not running in flight;
    1. The PTU valve is enabled (EDP 2A has failed or RH Engine is Not running).

Q

When in AUTO, when will the PTU operate?

A
    1. When the airplane is in the Takeoff or Approach phase;
    1. EDP 2A has failed or RH engine is not running in flight;
    1. On the ground with only the LH Engine running and Parking Brake released.
17
Q

When in AUTO, when will the ACMP 3B operate?

A
  • When the airplane is in the Takeoff or Approach phase;
  • ACMP 3A has failed.
18
Q

How can the EDP HYD SOVs be closed?

A
    1. The L (R) HYD SOV guarded PBA on the Hydraulic Panel is pressed;
    1. The L (R) ENG FIRE guarded PBA on the FIRE Panel is pressed;
    1. Temperature sensors on the HYD Systems 1 & 2 reservoirs detect Excessive Fluid Temperature 125°C.
  • Note: 104°C = Amber “HYD 1 (2) HI TEMP”
    125°C = HYD SOV closes “L (R) HYD SOV CLOSED”
    143°C = Thermal fuse ruptures (reservoir discharges fluid overboard).
19
Q

Which Hydraulic Pumps are available/operating during Single Generator operations in flight?

A
  • Operating EDP (Engine Hydraulic Pumps);
  • Maximum of 2 ACMPs can be powered by a Single Generator;
  • Except for APU above 43,000 ft where only 1 ACMP can be powered by the APU Generator.
20
Q

Which Hydraulic System can be powered by the RAT (Ram Air Turbine)?

A

Hydraulic System 3.

21
Q

What’s the RAT/Bootstrap Accumulator pre-charge pressure when the Hydraulic System is Depressurized?

A

1,100 psi +/- 100psi.

22
Q

What’s the Fwd and Aft Accumulator pre-charge pressure when the Hydraulic System is Depressurized?

A
  • 1,300psi +/- 100psi.
    Note: The Fwd and Aft accumulators provide momentary Hyd pressure while the RAT is in transit.
    All 3 Accumulators are on Hydraulic System 3.
