A

Operate the EMER LDG GR handle

24
Q

What services does the EMER LDG GR handle provide?

A
  1. Landing gear extension one time
  2. 6 applications of powered brakes
  3. Flaps
25
Which display shows a simplified schematic of the main and emergency hydraulic systems?
MFD HYD page
26
What are the normal operating ranges for the main hydraulic system?
1860 to 3390 psi
27
What are the normal operating ranges for the emergency hydraulic system?
2810 to 3740 psi
28
When will hydraulic system pressure be shown as a digital display pop-up?
If the hydraulic pressure goes outside the normal limits.
29
What is the stable hydraulic pressure after engine start?
3000 psi
30
What are pertinent details to remember when EMER LDG GR handle as been pulled?
1. Landing gear will extend immediately and cannot be retracted 2. Flaps can be selected to TO and LDG but cannot be retracted 3. Airbrake and roll spoilers are not available anymore 4. Ailerons will be by mechanical power only so control forces required will increase. 5. 6 full applications of the brakes 6. Anti-skid function is inoperative
31
What does a red HYDS warning on MFD and DWP indicate?
Pressure in both hydraulic systems is below 1850 psi.
32
When does an amber HYD MAIN caution appear on the MFD and amber HYD on the DWP?
If the pressure of the main hydraulic system drops below 1850 psi.
33
When does an amber HYD EMRG caution and amber HYD caption on the DPW triggered?
Emergency hydraulic pressure < 1850 psi
34
What does amber HYD OVPR caution appear on the MFD?
When main hydraulic pressure is over 3400 psi
35
What does amber HYD EMRG OVPR caution appear on MFD and EMD?
Emergency hydraulic pressure > 3750 psi.
36
When does an amber SERVO caution appear on the MFD?
- Hydraulic power to the wheel brakes an anti-ski is not available - TRIM/AIL PWR switch is selected to the OFF position
37
When is the TRIM/AIL PWR switch selected to OFF?
If there is a trim runaway
38
When the TRIM/AIL PWR switch is in the off position, what will hydraulic power be cut off to?
1. Aileron actuator 2. Roll spoiler 3. Powered brakes valve 4. Anti-skid valve
39
What does a grey HYD OVPR ALERT of a grey EMRG OVPR ALRT advisory on the MFD mean?
- Overpressure alert function for the respective system is not functional. - Respective amber cautions will not be displayed in the event of overpressure.
