HYD PANEL Flashcards
What are the three HYD systems called?
GREEN, BLUE and YELLOW Systems
How is each system powered?
GREEN – engine drivenBLUE – electrically drivenYELLOW – engine or electrically driven
When does the BLUE pump normally operate?
After the first engine is started
If the BLUE system lost pressure, how would pressure be restored?
The RAT must be deployed. It does not deploy automatically upon BLUE system loss of pressure, so it must be manually deployed with the RAT MAN ON pushbutton.
What can be done to correct low ACUM PRESS indication?
On the ground, coordinate with personnel and turn on the beacon and YELLOW ELEC pump
With no HYD system power, how can the FWD CARGO door be opened?
By using a hand pump
What causes the PTU to operate in if selected in AUTO?
- Differential pressure of 500 psi between GREEN and YELLOW systems
- After first engine start and until second engine starts, unless inhibited.
When is the PTU inhibited?
- On the ground with master switches split and either the nose wheel steering disconnected or the parking brake ON
- For 40 seconds after cargo door is operate
What are some users of the GREEN system?
Landing gearNormal brakesSlats and flapsENG 1 thrust reverser(SEE QRM HYDRAULIC ARCHITECTURE FOR MORE)
What are some users of the BLUE system?
Emergency generatorSlats(See QRM hrdraulic architecture for more)
What are some users of the YELLOW system?
FlapsNose wheel steeringAlternate brakes/Parking BrakeRev ENG 2(see QRM Hydraulic Architecture for more)
What do the priority valves do in the HYD systems?
Removes hydraulic power from the heavy users and protects the flight controls.
What would cause a FAULT light in the ENG 1 pump?
Pump low pressureOver temp in reservoirLow air pressure in reservoirLow quantity
If the FAULT light illuminated in the ENG 1 pump, what would identify the specific reason for the FAULT?
ECAM will display the reason
