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
5.
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
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 and 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. the quantity in the reservoir steadily decreases to zero and all system pressure is lost
What happens if a leak develops in either pump, line or component of system B?
- the quantity in the reservoir steadily decreases to approximately zero and system B pressure is lost,
however the power transfer unit is still operational
