Hydraulics Flashcards
Which items are found on the hydraulic System A?
Flt Spoilers (2 per wing - 2,4,9,11) Elevator/Elev Feel Ailerons Rudder Reverser 1 Autopilot A PTU Landing Gear Altn Brakes Norm Steering Ground Spoilers
Which items are found on the hydraulic System B?
Flt Spoilers (2 per wing) Elevator/Elev Feel Ailerons Rudder Reverser 2 Autopilot B
Flaps/LED/Autoslats LGTU Norm Brakes Altn Steering Yaw Damper
Which items are found on the hydraulic Standby System?
Rudder
Reversers
LED (extend only)
Stby Yaw Damper
What does hydraulic quantity “RF” indicate and when is it valid?
Refill (quantity
What happens when engine hydraulic pump switches are positioned to OFF?
Energizes blocking valve to block pump output (shuts off fluid after the pump)
What happens to hydraulics when an engine fire switch is pulled?
Closes Hydraulic Fluid Shutoff Valve (shuts off fluid before the pump)
What happens if there is a leak in the System A engine-driven pump or related lines?
Standpipe saves 20% of fluid for use by System A electric pump
What happens if there is a leak in the System A electric pump or related lines?
Quantity decreases to zero – system lost
What happens if there is a leak in the System B (either pump) or related lines?
Quantity decreases to zero – system lost, but standpipe saves enough fluid for PTU operation
What happens if there is a leak in the System B (either pump) or related lines?
Quantity decreases to zero – system lost, but standpipe saves enough fluid for PTU operation
What is the purpose of the PTU?
If System B engine-driven pump lost, uses System A pressure to power a hydraulic motor-driven pump (PTU) to pressurize System B fluid for normal-rate operation of the LEDs (and autoslats)
When does the PTU operate?
- Airborne, and
- System B engine-driven pump pressure below limits, and
- Flaps less than 15° but not up (i.e. at 1°, 2°, 5° or 10°) (3LC> Flaps not up)
What is the purpose of the LGTU?
If System A engine-driven pump lost, uses System B pressure to supply fluid volume needed for normal-rate retraction of landing gear
When does the LGTU operate?
- Airborne, and
- No. 1 Engine RPM drops below limits, and
- Gear Lever UP but either main gear not up and locked
What happens when either FLIGHT CONTROL Switch in STBY RUD?
- Closes Flight Control Shutoff Valve (isolating ail/elev/rud from assoc sys press)
- Opens Standby Rudder Shutoff Valve
- Activates Standby Pump (allowing Stby Sys to power rudder & reversers)
- Lights – deactivates assoc Flt Cont LOW PRESSURE Light, and illuminates STBY RUD ON, M/C and FLT CONT System Annun Lights
