Q

When pressurizing the hydraulic system, which pump is turned on first and off last? Why?

A

Right demand pump on first and off last to prevent fluid transfer into the right system

Q

When will the demand pumps run?

A
  • Right engine demand pump will run after engine start until after TO.
  • The C1 and C2 center demand pumps run during flap extension on the ground, and at 60kts on the TO roll until gear retraction.
  • During gear extension only one center demand pump activates.
  • C1 and C2 demand pumps can only run one at a time if in the ON position.

Q

Which demand pumps if any operate during T/O and LDG?

A
  • T/O the L, R system demand pumps operate continuously, C1, C2 demand pumps turn on at 60kts
  • LDG the L, R system demand pumps operate continuously, C1 normally operates during high loads and gear extension.
17
Q

If center hydraulic quantity is low and airspeed is > 60 kts, what happens?

A
  • Alternate brakes are isolated from the C system and remain operable using reserve fluid
  • Nose gear actuation and steering are isolated until <60kts and pressure to the C sys flight control is low or the gear is selected down, both engines normal, both engine driven pumps are providing pressure.
18
Q

Of the two center hydraulic system primary pumps, which one is load shed?

A

C2

19
Q

Where can you find Hydraulic fluid quantity data?

A

Status page

20
Q

On that page what do the following mean?
* LO
* OF
* RF

A
  • LO (amber) quantity is low
  • RF (white) needs refill and is inhibited inflight
  • OF (white) reservoir is over full and is inhibited in flight
21
Q

What will cause the main battery to power the standby electrical system instead of the RAT?

A

During load shedding while it is prioritizing Hyd Press

22
Q

Can the RAT be deployed on the ground with the cockpit switch?

A

Yes

23
Q

Name the hydraulic components for each of the three systems.

A

LEFT
* thrust reverser
* flight controls

CENTER
* altn/rsv brakes
* slats/flaps
* flight controls
* nose gear/main gear steering/actuation

RIGHT
* normal brakes
* brake accumulator
* thrust reverser

24
Q

When will RTO braking operate?

A

Above 85kts

25
Q

How can autobrakes be disengaged?

A
  • pressing the brake pedals
  • stowing the speedbrake handle
  • manually position the switch
  • advancing one thrust lever
26
Q

What system provides deceleration data to the autobrake effort?

A

ADIRU
