Q

What is the purpose of the PTU?

A

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)

Q

When does the PTU operate?

A
  • 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)

Q

What is the purpose of the LGTU?

A

If System A engine-driven pump lost, uses System B pressure to supply fluid volume needed for normal-rate retraction of landing gear

Q

What happens when either FLIGHT CONTROL Switch in STBY RUD?

A
  • 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
