Q

What are the conditions that cause the landing gear transfer unit to operate?

A
  • airborne
  • No. 1 engine RPM drops below a limit value
  • LANDING GEAR lever is positioned UP
  • either main landing gear is not up and locked.
    (will use hydraulic system B to rause gear instead of A)

Q

What does an amber OVERHEAT mean above a electric hydraulic pump switch mean?

A

Hydraulic fluid used to cool and lubricate the corresponding electric motor driven pump has overheated or the pump itself has overheated.

Q

What happens when you switch off an engine driven hydraulic pump?

A

Isolates fluid flow from system components but pump rotates as long as engine is operating.

Q

If there is a leak in the engine driven pump of hydraulic system B or its related lines the reservoir will drop to approximately what quantity?
Is system pressure maintained?

16
Q

Summarise what the PTU does

A
  • supplies additional volume of hydraulic fluid to operate auto slats and leading edge devices at normal rate if system B pressure is low (engine no.2 EDP pressure lost).
17
Q

What conditions cause the PTU to operate?

A
  • airborne
  • system B engine driven pump falls below 2350PSI for more than 0.5s
  • flaps not up
  • (some a/c flaps less than 15 but not up)
18
Q

Is there fluid transfer between hydraulic system A and B when the PTU is operating?

A

No - system A pressure is used to power a hydraulic motor driven pump which pressurises system B hydraulic fluid.

19
Q

If a leak occurs in the standby hydraulic system, the standby reservoir depletes to zero. What happens to system B quantity?

A

Decreases to around 72%.

20
Q

What happens if the Force Fight Monitor detects opposing pressure between A and B rudder actuators?

A
  • Standby hydraulic pump turned on
  • Standby rudder shut off valve open to pressurize the standby rudder PCU (and Thrust Reversers)
  • STBY RUD ON illuminates with Master Caution FLT CONT
21
Q

What conditions cause the standby hydraulic system to automatically operate?

A
  • loss of hyd. system A or B, and
  • flaps extended, and
  • airborne, or wheel speed greater than 60kts, and
  • FLT CONTROL switch A or B Hydraulic system ON
    OR
  • the main PCU Force Fight Monitor trips
22
Q

What is the brake accumulator pre-charge pressure?

A

1000PSI

23
Q

Autobrake requires which hydraulic system to be operating?

A

B

24
Q

The HYD Brake Pressure indicator reads zero, but both hydraulic system pressures are normal, what is this telling you?

A

The nitrogen precharge in the brake accumulator has leaked out, accumulator braking is not available but normal braking is unaffected.

25
Q

The HYD Brake Pressure indicator reads 1000PSI and both hydraulic system pressures are zero, what is this telling you?

A

Brake accumulator used up, no further braking available.

26
Q

When using alternate flap extension which system drives the leading edge devices to full extension?

A

Standby hydraulic

27
Q

If there is a leak in the engine driven pump of hydraulic system A or its related lines the reservoir will drop to approximately what quantity?
Is system pressure maintained?

A

20%
System pressure maintained by electric motor driven pump.
