18
Q

(16) Utility Hydraulic Control Panels.

A

located on overhead console, used to control pressure to subsystems (check for systems)

19
Q

(17) Maintenance panel.

A

2 side on wall next to ramp, shows system information for all hydraulic systems

20
Q
  1. What are the four sources of pressure for the utility hydraulic system?
A

APU start accumulator, APU motor pump, Utility hydraulic system pump, AGPU

21
Q
  1. When can the fill module be used to add fluid to the hydraulic systems?
A

on ground or in flight

22
Q
  1. What could happen if the fluid level is allowed to go below the sight glass while using the fill module?
A

you will start pumping air into the hydraulic system

23
Q
  1. What is the purpose of the visual fluid indicator on the hydraulic reservoir?
A

to let you know if you need to add fluid to the system

24
Q
  1. What should the gauge indication be on the utility reservoir pressurization accumulator be during pre-flt?
A

in the green band

25
Q
  1. When should a pilot use the utility reservoir depressurization valve?
A

never

26
Q
  1. Why should EPUSHA operations not exceed five?
A

it will kill the battery

27
Q
  1. What should the pressure indicate during pre-flt on the APU start accumulator?
A

3,000 PSI

28
Q
  1. What is the Emergency Utility Pressure Valve used for and what position should the valve be in during pre-flt?
A

NORMAL, allows the APU start accumulator or hand pump to pressurize system

29
Q
  1. What should the pressure indicate during pre-flt on the APU start module accumulator?
A

approx. 3,000 PSI

30
Q
  1. When would the APU motor pump be used during flight?
A

when the transmission driven utility pump fail during flight

31
Q
  1. What component provides the utility hydraulic systems pressure in flight, under normal conditions?
A

utility hydraulic pump

32
Q
  1. What provides the utility hydraulic pressure indications to the crew?
A

the pressure control module

33
Q
  1. What should be checked on the pressure control module during pre-flt?
A

general condition and security

34
Q
  1. What should be checked on the return control module during pre-flt?
A

general condition and security

35
Q
  1. What indications are provided on the maintenance panel for the utility hydraulic system?
A

pressure, temp, reservoir level, filter change, pump fault
