Hydraulics Flashcards
Accumulators provide enough pressure for a minimum of
Seven full brake applications
If green system hydraulic pressure fails, the blue system automatically takes over and powers the brakes. Antiskid remains
Available and nosewheel steering is lost.
When the antiskid and nosewheel steering switch is OFF, the
Blue hydraulic system powers the brakes. Antiskid is deactivated.
The bottom arcs of the triple indicator shows
Blue hydraulic system pressure delivered to the brakes on each side measured upstream of
Autobrake armed, blue ON. Autobrake activated DECEL
In green
When temperature of any brake exceeds
300ºC it is displayed solid amber. The arc above the hottest wheel becomes solid amber.
Tire pressure indicating system
TPIS
With parking brake on – crew is able to check
Brake wear indicators during exterior inspection
If during an engine start with the PARK BRK ON, aircraft begins to move due to a parking brake failure, immediately
Release the PARK BRK handle to restore braking via the pedals.
Safety exterior inspection, check condition of wheels and tires,
Hydraulic lines, brakes and brake wear indications
Preliminary – check – PRK BRK on, gear lever down,
Accumulator and brake pressure
Before pushback or engine start, check the
Memo display for N/WS DISC green
After landing, autobrake should be disengaged prior to reaching
20 kt,
Land gear down locked – extra fuel consumption
2.8
If there is a problem with landing gear not up – locking, maintain speed no greater than
250kt
