Hydraulics Flashcards

1
Q

When will the demand pumps operate if the hydraulic demand pump selector is in the AUTO position?

A
  • Demand pumps operate when related engine pump output pressure is low, or when respective fuel control switch is in CUTOFF
  • Demand pumps 1 & 4 also operate when flaps are in transit on ground , or flaps extended past 1 in flight

Q

With the loss of hydraulic system 4 how do I lower the landing gear and flaps?

A

The Landing gear will have to be lowered using the Alternate Gear Extension switch.

The flaps will revert to Secondary mode and extend more slowly.

Q

What may cause the nose to pitch up on landing with the loss of hydraulic system 4?

A

Rapid extension of the Spoilers.

17
Q

What are some examples of major system components powered by each hydraulic system 1 and 4

A

• Systems 1 and 4 power the

steering
body gear
normal brakes (SYS 4), 
alternate brakes (SYS 1), 
trailing edge flaps

Systems 1 and 4 also provide redundant power to the primary flight controls.

18
Q

What are some examples of major system components powered by each hydraulic system 2 and 3

A

• Systems 2 and 3 power the

primary flight controls
stabilizer trim
elevator feel.

System 2 also powers the
alternate brakes
lower yaw damper.

System 3 powers the

upper yaw damper.

19
Q

What are some examples of major system components powered by each hydraulic system 1, 2 and 3

A

• Systems 1, 2, and 3 power

the respective center, right, and left autopilot servos (L,C,R are powered by systems 3,1,2 respectively)

20
Q

What are some examples of major system components powered by each hydraulic system 2, 3 and 4

A

• Systems 2, 3, and 4 power the spoilers.
