BLOCK 3 - HYDRAULICS

Question 1

Phosphate ester hydraulic fluid

Answer 1

Can remove paint from aircraft. Toxic if swallowed.

PPE, wash hands when finished, Store separately from other hydraulic fluid

Question 2

Hydraulic Theory Basics

-Pascals Law-

Answer 2

Put a pressure on the tip of the hose, water will get out in all directions.

any pressure applied to a fluid inside a closed system will transmit that pressure equally in all directions

Question 3

Flight system powers?

Answer 3

(RIGHT) powers primary flight controls, yaw damper, ground spoilers, right thrust reverser

Question 4

Hydraulic Theory Basic

-Bernoulli’s Law-

Answer 4

Less pressure on a water hose increases speed

Increase in speed of fluid occurs with less pressure

Question 5

Combined System powers?

Answer 5

(LEFT) Powers primary flight controls, ground spoilers, reservoir pressurization, left thrust reverser

Question 6

Utility system?

Answer 6

Backs up Combined hydraulic system

Question 7

Auxiliary system powers?

Answer 7

Provides pressure to the flaps, brakes, and main entrance door. It also powers everything on the ground like spoilers, landing gear.

Question 8

Reservoirs

Answer 8

Store pressurized hydraulic fluid.

Question 9

Flight system location in tail compartment ?

Combined system location in tail compartment?

Answer 9

right side of the tail compartment - flight

Left side - combined
