Hydraulics Panel
- Electric Hydraulic Pump Overheat Lights
Amber - Hydraulic fluid used to cool and to lubricate the corresponding electric motor driven pump has overheated or the pump itself has overheated - Hydraulic Pump Low Pressure Lights
Amber - Output pressure of associated pump is low.
note: when an engine fire switch is pulled, the low pressure light is deactivated. - Electric Hydraulic Pump Switches
ON - Provides power to associated electric motor driven pump
OFF - Electrical power removed from pump. - Engine Hydraulic pumps switches
ON - De-energizes blocking valve in pump to allow pump pressure to enter system.
Note: Should remain ON at Shutdown to prolong solenoid life.
OFF - energizes blocking valve to block pump output.
Hydraulic Indications
- MFD system switch
Push SYS
Displays hydraulic indications on lower DU; or the inboard DU if the main panel dusswitch is placed to the INBD MFD position.
Second push removes indication from respective DU - Hydraulic System Quantity indications (white)
Indicates digital percentage (0 to 106%) of hydraulic quantity.
Note: Quantity also displayed at each reservoir. - Hydraulic System pressure indications (white)
Indicates system pressure
Normal pressure - 3000 psi
Maximum pressure - 3000 psi
Note: When both pumps for a system are OFF, the indication may read hydraulic system reservoir normally less than 100 psi. - Refill (RF) indication (white)
Illuminated (white) - below 76%
Note: Valid only when aircraft is on ground with both engines shutdown or after landing with flaps up during taxi-in.
Flight Control Panel
- Flight Control Switches
STBY RUD - Activates stand-by pump and opens standby rudder shutoff vale to pressurize standby rudder power control unit.
OFF - Closes flight control shutoff valve isolating ailerons, elevators, and rudder from associated hydraulic system pressure.
ON - guarded position - Normal operating position - Flight Control low pressure lights
Amber
Indicates low hydraulic system (A or B) pressure to ailerons, elevator, and rudder
Deactivated when associated flight control switch is positioned to STBY RUD and standby rudder shutoff valve opens - Standby hydraulic low quantity Light
Amber
Indicates low quantity in standby hydraulic reservoir.
Always armed - Standby Hydraulic Low Pressure Light
Amber
Indicates output pressure of standby pump is low
Armed only when standby pump operation has been selected or automatic standby function is activated. - alternate Flaps Master Switch
OFF (guarded position) Normal Operating position
ARM Closes trailing edge flap bypass valve, activates standby pump, and arms alternate flaps position switch. - STBY RUN ON Light
Amber
Indicates the stand by hydraulic system is commanded on to pressurize the standby rudder power control unit.
System indicators
Three hydraulic systems, A, B and standby. The standby system is used if A, and or B pressure is lost. Hydraulic systems power the following aircraft systems. Flight controls Leading edge flaps and slats Trailing edge flaps Landing gear Wheel brakes Nose wheel steering Thrust Reversers Autopilots
A or B can power all flight controls with no decrease in aircraft controllability
Reservoir for each system in main wheel area, pressurized by bleed air.
Standby reservoir connected to B reservoir for pressurization and servicing.
Pressurization ensures positive fluid flow to all hydraulic pumps.
Hydraulic Power Distribution
A Ailerons Rudder Elevator and elevator feel Flight spoilers (two on each wing) Ground spoilers Alternate Brakes No 1 thrust reverser Autopilot A Normal nose wheel steering Landing gear PTU power transfer unit.
B Ailerons Rudder Elevator and elevator feel Flight Spoilers (two on each wing) Leading edge flaps and slats Normal Brakes No 2 Thrust reverser Autopilot B Alternate nose wheel steering Landing gear transfer unit Auto slats Yaw Damper Trailing edge flaps.
A and B have engine driven pump and AC electric motor driven pump. A pump powered by NO 1 engine. B pump powered by NO 2 engine. Engine driven pump provides 6 times fluid volume of the electric motor driven pump.
Engine 1 Sys A or Engine 2 sys B ON/OFF switch controls the engine driven pump output pressure.
OFF - isolates fluid flow from components.
Pulling engine fire switch shuts off flow to engine driven pump and deactivates related low pressure light.
Elec 2 sys A or Elec 1 sys B ON/OFF switch controls the related electric motor driven pump. If overheat is detected overheat light illuminates, power is removed from the pump. And the - low pressure light illuminates. The related OVERHEAT illuminates.
Loss of engine driven pump and a high demand on the system may result in intermittent illumination of the low pressure light for the remaining electric motor driven pump.
Flight control low pressure light, master caution light and the flight cont and hg system annunciation light also illuminate.
Below 1,675 electric motor driven pump EMDP Overheat light may illuminate.
Pressure switches and signals to illuminate the related low pressure light if pump output pressure is low. Check valve in the output line isolates the related pump from the system. The related system send the combined pressure of the engine driven and electric motor driven pump to the related hydraulic stem pressure indication.
A leak
Standpipe in the reservoir prevents total loss of system fluid. 20% of full and A is maintained by electric motor driven pump.
If leak in lines servicing electric motor all system pressure is lost
B leak
Fluid in standpipe is sufficient for power transfer unit operation.
Leak in B does not affect operation of standby hydraulic system.
