Hydraulics/Landing Gear/Brakes Flashcards
Will a leak in Hydraulic system B have an impact on the operations of the standby hydraulic system?
No
What is the purpose of the PTU?
To supply the additional volume of hydraulic fluid needed to operate the auto slats for 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, the gear is up and either main is not up and locked, and
the number 1 engine drops below a limit value
The standby system uses a single electric motor-driven pump and
can be activated automatically or manually
The standby hydraulic system powers
- the thrust reversers
- leading edge flaps and slats
- standby yaw damper
- Rudder
with the loss of system A or B what criteria is met for the Standby Hydraulic system to power the thrust reversers?
Flaps are extended, airborne or wheel speed is greater then 60 knots
Positioning either FLT CONTROL switch to STBY RUD does….
- 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.
Position the ALTERNATE FLAPS master switch to ARM
- activates the standby electric driven pump
- operates the trailing edge flaps bypass valve
- allows the standby system to power the leading edge flaps, slats, and thrust reversers
- arms the ALTERNATE FLAPS position switches
If there is a leak in the standby hydraulic system what should we expect
LOW QUANTITY light illuminates, the system B reservoir fluid decreases to approximately 72%
What is indicated by an amber illuminated electric hydraulic pump OVERHEAT light
Hydraulic fluid to cool and lubricate has overheated
the pump itself has overheated
When Engine 1 fire warning switch is pulled the what happens to the Hydraulic pump LOW PRESSURE light?
It is deactivated
A flight control LOW PRESSURE light indicates
System A or B pressure is low to the ailerons, elevator and rudder
the amber standby hydraulic LOW QUANTITY light is always armed and indicates
Low quantity in the standby hydraulic reservoir
An amber standby LOW PRESSURE light is armed only with the standby hydraulic pump operation has ben selected ______ or _____ and _____.
manually,
automatically
indicates low output.
Does shutting off ENG1 stop the pump?
No it continues to turn, its just isolated from the system
Is the LOW PRESSURE light deactivated after pulling the engine fire switch?
Yes, the related fluid flow to the engine is shut off.
what is the minimum fuel for ground operation of electric hydraulic pumps
1675 lbs
What happens if a leak develops in the A system hydraulic engine driven pump or related lines
a standpipe in the reservoir prevents a total system fluid loss
What happens if a leak develops in the A system hydraulic electric driven pump or related lines
the quantity in the reservoir steadily decreases to zero and all system pressure is lost
