Study Notes

  • The airplane has three hydraulic systems: A, B, and standby.
  • Standby system is used if system A and/or B pressure is lost.
  • Each hydraulic system has a fluid reservoir located in the main wheel well area.
  • System A and B reservoirs are pressurized by bleed air.
  • Both A and B hydraulic systems have an engine-driven pump and an AC electric motor-driven pump.
  • The system A engine-driven pump is powered by the No.1 engine and the system B engine-driven pump is powered by the No.2 engine.
  • An engine-driven hydraulic pump supplies approximately 6 times the fluid volume of the related electric motor-driven hydraulic pump.
  • The ENG 1 or ENG 2 pump ON/OFF switch controls the engine-driven pump output pressure.
  • The ELEC 2 or ELEC 1 pump ON/OFF switch controls the related electric motor-driven pump.
  • If an overheat is detected in either system, the related OVERHEAT light illuminates.
