What happens if 0% fluid remains in the B system? |
Fluid will be sufficient to run through the Power Transfer Unit (PTU) which is pressurized from its own Hydraulically driven pump using system A pressure |

Operate Autoslats, leading edge flaps and slats when System B Engine driven pump volume is lost |
|

|
|
When does the Standby System pump automatically engage? (2) |
Loss of System A or B, and Flaps extended, and Airborne, or wheel speed greater than 60 knots, and FLT CONTROL switch A or B Hydraulic System ON
OR
Force Fight Monitor activates |
|
|
What happens when a leak occurs in the Standby System? |
The Standby system fluid quantity goes to 0 |
|
|
What is meant when the GEAR lights are RED? |
Landing gear is not down and locked or gear is in disagreement with landing gear lever position (transit) |
|
|
Moving the landing gear lever to the OFF position does what? |
Hydraulic power is removed from the landing gear system |
|
|
Is manual gear extension possible with no hydraulic A system pressure? |
Yes |
|
|
What conditions causes the RTO braking to engage? |
When thrust levers are moved to idle at or above 90 knots **Ground spoilers for RTO will not deploy until Reverse TL are positioned for reverse thrust. This is the reason we move speedbrake handle to UP during RTO manoeuvre. |
|
|
How do you know the parking brake is set? |
The red light will illuminate |
|
|
Rudder pedals provide how much nose gear deflection? |
7 degrees |
|
|
The tiller rotates the nose wheel how many degrees? |
78 degrees |
|
|
Is Autobrakes available with both normal and alternate Brakes? |
No, just normal brakes |
|
|
Is antiskid provided on Normal and Alternate braking systems? |
Yes and accumulator braking |
|
|
How is the landing gear held in the up position? |
Uplocks |
|
|
If both A and B systems are lost is it possible to use brakes? |
Yes, the accumulator provides limited braking applications |
|
|
How do you check hydraulic quantity and pressure? |
SYS page on the MFD System switch |
|
|
What has happened if the A or B LOW PRESSURE lights illuminate on the flight control panel? |
Low pressure is sensed to the Ailerons, Rudder and Elevator in either system |
|
|
Where is the hydraulic pressure of the accumulator shown? |
Hydraulic Brake pressure indicator on the FO side |
|
|
What system pressurises the Brake Accumulator? |
System B |
|
|
How do you know the RTO Autobrake self test was successful? |
When selecting RTO on the ground a self test is completed. While that test is being completed the DISARM light illuminates for 1-2 seconds. When that light extinguishes the self test is complete. |
|
|
Does the Autobrake do a landing turn on self test? |
Yes, if the Autobrake DISARM light illuminates the test was not successful |
|
|
How do you release the uplocks of the gear using the manual system? |
Open the Manual Extension Access Door and pull each lever to its limit |
|
|
When is the BRAKE TEMP light illuminated? |
When a hot brake condition is indicated on the DU |
|
|
If a main tyre is damaged during TO, what happens during gear retraction? |
Gear will free fall if it doesn't fit in the wheel well. (Frangible fitting) |
|
|
After landing when do the autobrakes engage? |
Both thrust levers are retarded to idle AND main wheels spin up |
|
|
How do you disarm the Autobrakes? (4) |
Move Autobrake lever to OFF Speed brake lever to DOWN detent Advance thrust levers 3 seconds after touch down Manual Braking |
|
|
Where are the Hydraulic reservoirs? |
Main wheel well area |
|
|
What pressurizes the Hydraulic reservoirs? |

What Hydraulic source does the PTU receive it's fluid from and how is it pressurized? |
Fluid from the B system reservoir, the system uses System A pressure to power a Hydraulic motor driven pump |
|
|

System B engine driven pump Hydraulic pressure drops below limits Airborne Flaps are less than 15 but not up |
|
|
What Hydraulic system normally pressurizes the Autoslats and LE Devices? If fluid volume is lost what occurs? |
The B system. If fluid volume is lost in the B system the PTU takes over and if that is lost than the Standby system takes over |
|
|

When fluid is 50% in the standby Hydraulic reservoir |
|
|
When all the landing gear indicator lights are extinguished what does that indicate? |

Extension yes, provided there is System A Hydraulic pressure.
Gear retraction is not available |
|
|
