What is the Maximum Braking Pressure for Rejected Take Off configuration?

The maximum pressure is 1700 psi for the Rejected Take Off configuration. The EBCU uses the alternate hydraulic circuit and controls the ABSELV and the ASV. Signup and view all the answers

In Ultimate Braking where pedal braking is not available, how the BLG brakes receive hyd pressure?

Ultimate Braking starts when the parking brake handle is operated. The parking brake handle activates the Parking brake circuit and, at the same time, supplies Parking brake pressure to the BLG brakes. Signup and view all the answers

In Ultimate Braking, when pedal braking is not available, how the WLG receives hydraulic braking pressure?

Through the alternate hydraulic circuit, the EBCU supplies a pressure to the WLG brakes (pressure limit: 1700 psi) if a ground spoiler deployment signal was sent before by the Flight Control System (FCS) to the EBCU. Signup and view all the answers

The Emergency Brake Control Unit (EBCU) is energized by?

28 VDC ESSENTIAL BUS. If a failure occurs, the 28 VDC HOT BUS will replace it. Signup and view all the answers

the parking brake selector valve is energized with?

28 VDC from DC GND SerViCe BUS or DC HOT BUS 1. Thus, the parking brake is available when the A/C is energized or not. Signup and view all the answers

The BLG LEHGS is energized with? 115 VAC from AC BUS 2. The WLG LEHGS is energized with? 115 VAC from AC BUS 3

How to depressurize the WLG Alternate circuit?

First, on the FWD alternate brake selector-valve manifold turn the manual depressurization control (blue color) fully clockwise and hold it in this position for a minimum of 20 seconds. Then, on the AFT alternate brake selector-valve manifold. Last, depressurize the WLG LEHGS reservoir by turning the manual depressurization control (gold color) fully counterclockwise.

How to pressurize the WLG and BLG Braking Accumulators when all the Engine Master Lever are in off position?

Push the ACCU REINFLATE P/B installed near the parking brake handle. The WLG and BLG LEHGSs will thus operate at the same time to pressurize the BLG and WLG HP accumulators. Hydraulic fluid from the LEHGS reservoir is pressurized by the LEHGS electro-pump to pressurize the related accumulators. Signup and view all the answers

If a depressurization of the alternate circuit was done for maintenance tasks, the two accumulators of the alternate circuit are depressurized and the LEHGS reservoir is empty. How can you pressurize the WLG and BLG Accumulators and LEGHS?
