What powers the aircraft's primary hydraulic systems?

Engine-Driven Pump (EDP) installed on the respective left and right engine

How are the left and right hydraulic systems designed to maintain independence?

Each system has separate lines and no common point for fluid interchange

What is unique about the left hydraulic system's fluid pressurization?

Left system fluid may be pressurized by two sources other than the EDP

What is the primary function of the PTU and AUX pump?

Pressurize and deliver stored hydraulic fluid to components operated by the individual system. Signup and view all the answers

What kind of hydraulic fluid is the system designed to use?

Fire resistant phosphate-ester type hydraulic fluid to AS 1241, Type IV or Type V at 2850 to 3075 psi with only a 20 psi ripple throughout the system. Signup and view all the answers

What is the purpose of the Power Transfer Unit (PTU) in the aircraft's hydraulic system?

Transfer hydraulic power from the right system to the left system, without transferring fluid. Signup and view all the answers

What conditions trigger the PTU operation in the aircraft's hydraulic system?

Left system hydraulic pressure < 2400 psi AND Left system hydraulic quantity > 0.36 Gallons (uncompensated quantity) AND Right system hydraulic pressure > 2850 psi AND Right system hydraulic temperature < 107°C (225°F) Signup and view all the answers

Describe the functionality of the onboard replenisher system in terms of hydraulic servicing of the aircraft.

The onboard replenisher system includes a 1.5 U.S. gallon reservoir, an electric motor driven pump, a hydraulic selector valve, and an ONIOFF switch. The pump outputs 0.5 GPM at 60 psi to the reservoir. Signup and view all the answers

What is the function of the Rotary Variable Differential Transformer (RVDT) in the hydraulic system?

To determine fluid level through rotary movement and provide output for the Fluid Quantity Indicator (FQI) and Modular Avionics Units (MAUs). Signup and view all the answers

Where is the left reservoir located and what is its purpose?

The left reservoir is located in the tail compartment, forward at approximately the 10:00 o'clock position. Its purpose is to supply fluid to the left hydraulic system. Signup and view all the answers

What are the conditions for deactivating the PTU based on left system hydraulic pressure?

2750 psi or above to deactivate the PTU, and immediately at 2400 psi to activate the PTU. Signup and view all the answers

What is the purpose of the motor-operated shutoff valve in the PTU?

The shutoff valve prevents the right system from pressurizing the PTU motor when the motor is not commanded to run. Signup and view all the answers
