Q

How is the hydraulic fluid, used for lubrication and cooling of the pumps, cooled?

A

passes through a heat exchanger in fuel tank before returning to the reservoir.

Q

What is the difference between a Hydraulic A Engine Driven Pump leak/related lines
and an ELEC pump leak/related lines?

A

If a leak develops in the electric motor–driven pump or its related lines, or components common to both the engine and electric motor–driven pumps, the quantity in the reservoir steadily decreases to zero and all system pressure is lost.

Q

What is the function of the PTU?

A

The purpose of the PTU is to 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 lost.

Q

When does the Standby Hydraulic System automatically activate?

A

• loss of system A or B,
• flaps extended,
• airborne, or wheel speed greater than 60 kts,
• FLT CONTROL switch A or B Hydraulic System ON

Or the main PCU Force Fight Monitor (FFM) trips
