• GREEN – engine driven
• BLUE – electrically driven
• YELLOW – engine or electrically driven

When does the BLUE pump normally operate?

Answer 3

• After the first engine is started

Question 4

If the BLUE system lost pressure, how would pressure be restored?

Answer 4

• The RAT must be deployed.
  It does not deploy automatically upon BLUE system loss of pressure, so if needed, it must be manually deployed with the RAT MAN ON pushbutton.

Question 5

What can be done to correct low ACUM PRESS indication?

Answer 5

• On the ground, coordinate with ground personnel and turn on the YELLOW ELEC pump

Question 6

With no HYD system power, how can the FWD CARGO door be opened?

Answer 6

• By using a hand pump

Question 7

What causes the PTU to operate in if in AUTO?

Answer 7

• Differential pressure of 500 psi between GREEN and YELLOW systems

Question 8

When is the PTU inhibited?

Answer 8

• For 40 seconds after cargo door is operated
• On the ground with ENG MASTER levers split and
  *the nose wheel steering disconnected, or
  *the parking brake is ON
