Power On Checks Flashcards
During exterior preflight verify brake accumulators are at what pressure?
700-800 psi
Were are the brake pressure accumulators?
In the nose bay
During Power On Checks: On overhead panel starting with hydraulics, what possition should the hydaulic switche be in?
They should be OFF
Were are the hydraulic system accumulators?
System 1 and 2 are in the aft equipment bay. System 3 can be seen from the access panel below the luggage door.
What should the hydraulic systems read prior to power on and why?
1450-1550 psi. Each accumultare is precharged with nitrogen to 1500 psi
How many hydraulic systems are there?
3
What is the normal system pressure
3000 psi
Do the hydraulic systems share fluid
No
How are the systems powered
System 1A and 2A are engine driven. 3A, 1B, 2B and 3B are AC motor driven
How are the back-up systems powered
Electrical, AC Motor Pump (ACMP)
When do the back-up pumps activate with the switch in the auto
1B and 2B whenever the opposite generator is on-line and the flaps are greater than 0 degrees (more than 4 degrees). 3B also activates when the Flaps are greater than 0 degrees or when the ADG is deployed
Do you have to move 3B to the on position if there is an dual gen failure
No, only 1B and 2B are related to generators
What does each hydraulic system power
Refer to hydraulic synoptic page
What indication would you get if htere was inadequate pressure to operated the FLT SPLR
Amber FLT SPLR on hydraulic synoptic page, system 1 or 2
If gererator #2 fails what hppens to 1B hydraulic pump? Why?
It is load shed because this is the cross side generator that has to be on for the pump to activate when the flaps are greater than 0 degrees
During power on checks Nose steering should be ?
NOSE STEER-OFF
What hydraulic system is active with the NOSE STEER-on
System #3
Is NOSE STEER active in flight?
No, it is deactivated in flight because the PSEU “gound” mode is not satisfied.
With the NOSE STEER-on how many dergrees can the nose turn?
55 degrees
With the NOSE STEER-on how many degrees will the nose turn with the rudder peddles only?
upto 7 degrees
If using differential braking and nose steer is on what could happen
Possbly exceed the 55 degree limit and system will automaticly disable and nose wheel will automaticly free caster to a maximum of 99 degrees
If NOSE STEER has exceeded the 55 degree limit how is the system reactivated
Nose wheel must be placed or moved back into the 55 degree limit.
During Power on Checks the flap handle should be in what possition?
Up or 0 degrees
Are the Flaps hydraulically or electically controlled
Electrically controlled
