Hydraulics/Landing Gear/Brakes Flashcards
The operation of the standby hydraulic system is _______ by a leak in hydraulic system B.
Not affected
What is the purpose of the PTU?
To supply the additional volume of hydraulic fluid needed to operate the autoslats or the leading edge flaps and slats at the normal rate when system B engine-driven pump volume is lost
What is the purpose of the landing gear transfer unit?
To raise the landing gear at the normal rate when system A engine-driven pump volume is lost
The landing gear transfer unit operates when airborne, ______________, and the No. 1 engine RPM drops below a limit value.
the landing gear is positioned up and either main landing gear is not up and locked
The standby system uses a single electric motor-driven pump and ____________________ .
can be activated manually or automatically
The standby hydraulic system powers the thrust reversers, __________, and rudder.
leading edge flaps and slats (extend only) and the standby yaw damper
Automatic operation of the standby hydraulic pump is initiated when _______ and loss of hydraulic system A or B
flaps are extended; and airborne, or wheel speed greater than 60 knots
Positioning either FLT CONTROL switch to STBY RUD, __________, closes the related flight control shutoff valve; deactivates the related flight control LOW PRESSURE light; allows the standby system to power the rudder and thrust reversers.
All answers are correct
Positioning the ALTERNATE FLAPS master switch to ARM: __________, operates the trailing edge flap bypass valve, allows the standby system to power the leading edge flaps and slats and thrust reversers, and arms the ALTERNATE FLAPS position switch.
Activates the standby electric motor-driven pump
On the B737-800, ___________ when there is a leak in the standby hydraulic system.
The LOW QUANTITY light illuminates, and the system B reservoir fluid decreases to approximately 72%
What is indicated by an amber illuminated Electric Hydraulic Pump OVERHEAT light?
- the hydraulic fluid used to cool and lubricate the corresponding electric motor driven pump has overheated
- the pump itself has overheated
The respective engine-driven hydraulic pump LOW PRESSURE light is ________ when pulling the Engine 1 fire warning switch.
Deactivated
An illuminated amber Flight Control LOW PRESSURE light indicates low hydraulic system A or B pressure to which flight controls?
- ailerons & elevator
- rudder
An illuminated amber standby hydraulic LOW QUANTITY light is ___________ and indicates low quantity in the standby hydraulic reservoir.
Always armed
An illuminated amber standby hydraulic LOW PRESSURE light is __________ and indicates low output pressure.
armed only when the standby hydraulic pump operation has been selected or automatic standby pump operation is activated
When Positioning the ENG 1 hydraulic pump switch to OFF, the pump_____ to rotate and fluid flow is isolated from the system component.
Continues
After an engine fire warning switch is pulled, the hydraulic fluid flow to the related engine-driven pump is shut off and ______________.
Its LOW PRESSURE light is deactivated
_____ is the minimum fuel for ground operation of electric hydraulic pumps in the related main tank.
1675 lbs
What happens if a leak develops in the A system hydraulic engine-driven pump or its related lines?
a standpipe in the reservoir prevents a total system fluid loss
What happens if a leak develops in the in the A system hydraulic electric motor-driven pump or its related lines?
the quantity in the reservoir steadily decreases to zero and all system pressure is lost
