Hydraulics Flashcards
What is on the Left Hydraulic System?
Rudder Ratio
Flight Controls
What is on the Right Hydraulic System?
Pitch Enhancement System
Flight Controls
Normal Brakes
What is on the Center Hydraulic System?
Flight Controls Flaps & Slats Tail Skid HDG Alternate Brakes Nosewheel Steering Gear
Tell me about the engine driven pump on the left hydraulic system.
The engine-driven pump is the primary pump of the left hydraulic system.
The pump controls are the engine pump switch and the respective engine fire switch on the fire control panel.
What are the Primary Pumps?
Left Engine, No 1 & 2 Center Electric, Right Engine
What are the Secondary Pumps?
Left Electric Demand, Air Demand, Right Electric Demand Pumps
When is the Engine Driven Pump in the left depressurized?
The pump is depressurized when the pump switch is off or when the fire switch is pulled.
Hydraulic OVHT light means what?
if the engine-driven pump casing temperature is too high
What does the ON switch do on the L ENG Primary?
The ON position activates the electric pump for continuous operation.
ON is not selected for normal operations.
What does the AUTO Selector do when engine starting?
For the left system, the demand condition occurs when the left engine driven pump output pressure is low.
The AUTO position is normally selected before engine start. This action makes the demand pump available throughout the flight.
What are the Four Pumps on the Center Hydraulic System?
2 Electric Driven Pumps - Pressurize the Center System
1 Air Driven Pump-
1 RAT
Tell me about the Air Dewmand Pump. (ADP)
Driven by bleed air and operates on demand only.
Failure of both electrical systems, ADP will provide pressure to the Center System. Must be in AUTO.
The Air Driven Pump provides an additional source of pressure to the Center system.
It is a high capacity pump that is driven by bleed air pressure from the center manifold of the pneumatic system.
Works when heavy loads are selected
Works when both center engine pumps have low pressure.
ADP has enough power to operate the HDG and the 11 essential components.
RAT
Can Pressurize Center System to get Flight Controls only when dual engine failure.
Can be manually deployed by pressing switch.
UNLKD: It has been deployed
PRESS: Adequate pressure is being created to power flight controls
-Must be above 130 kts for adequate pressure
Arms at 80 knots on takeoff
Has A/G logic to prevent deployment on Ground of Main Gear Tilt
What does QTY light mean
It has a QTY light to indicate low fluid level.
Tell me about the Center 2 Primary Electric Hydraulic pumps
The two electric hydraulic pumps provide the primary power for the center hydraulic system.
Two switches labeled ELEC 1 and ELEC 2 are used to control the pumps.
When the aircraft is parked, these pump switches are normally OFF.
Both of these switches are normally switched ON before engine start.
