C-40 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

  1. Image Upload 2
    What is indicated by #1?
    Illuminated (amber) – Hydraulic fluid used to cool and lubricate the corresponding electric motor driven pump has overheated or the pump itself has overheated.
  2. Image Upload 4
    What is indicated by #2?
    Illuminated (amber) – output pressure of associated pump is low.

    Note: When an engine fire switch is pulled, the low pressure light is deactivated
  3. How can the engine driven pump LOW PRESSURE light be deactivated?
    Pull the associated fire handle
  4. How can the electric pump LOW PRESSURE light be deactivated?
    Turn the associated switch off
  5. What happens when you turn off an engine driven pump switch?
    Output pressure is blocked by a blocking solenoid
  6. What happens when you turn off an engine pump switch?
    Shuts off fluid to the pump and and deactivates the LOW PRESSURE light
  7. What is the normal hydraulic pressure?
    3000 psi
  8. What is the maximum hydraulic system pressure?
    3500 psi
  9. What is the minimum hydraulic system pressure?
    2800 psi
  10. What does and RF mean adjacent to the hydraulic quantity gauge?
    Refill
  11. When does an RF illuminate?
    Hydraulic quantity below 76%
  12. How does the output of an electric pump compare with the engine driven pump?
    Engine driven pump is about six times the output of the electric pumps
  13. Where are the heat exchangers for the hydraulic fluid?
    The heat exchanger for system A is located in the main fuel tank No.1 and for system B is in the main fuel tank No.2
  14. How much fuel is required in the main fuel tanks for ground operation of the electric pumps?
    1675 lbs.
  15. What are the consequences of a system A hydraulic leak in the engine pump or lines?
    Fluid leaks to the standpipe (approximately 20% left at the standpipe)
  16. System A-With fluid level at the top of the standpipe, the reservoir quantity displayed indicates approximately ___% full.
    20%
  17. What are the consequences if a leak develops in the system A or B electric motor drive pump?
    Complete fluid loss, quantity will decrease to zero and all pressure is lost
  18. What are the consequences of a leak in system B engine driven pump?
    Fluid loss to standpipe (still allows PTU operation).  Quantity will decrease to zero.
  19. What are the consequences of a leak in the STBY system?
    Complete fluid loss (B system leaks to 72%)
  20. What is the purpose of the standpipe?
    It supplies fluid to both the engine driven pump and electric motor driven pump and is sufficient for power transfer unit operation.
  21. What does the PTU do?
    It supplies the additional volume of hydraulic fluid needed to operate the autoslats and leading edge flaps and slats at the normal rate when system B engine-driven hydraulic pump is inoperative.
  22. When does the PTU operate?
    Airborne, flaps less than 15 but not up, and loss of system B engine driven pump pressure
  23. What does the LGTU do?
    The purpose of the LGTU is to supply the volume of hydraulic fluid needed to raise the landing gear at the normal rate when system A engine-driven pump volume is lost.  The system B engine-driven pump supplies the volume of hydraulic fluid needed to operate the LGTU.
  24. When does the LGTU operate?
    Airborne, No. 1 engine RPM drops below limit value, landing gear lever is positioned UP, either main landing gear is not up and locked
  25. The B system and the standby system share fluid.  Will a leak in system B affect operation of the standby hydraulic system?
    No
  26. If there is a leak in the STBY system, will system B be affected?
    No.  Fluid level will stabilize at 72%
  27. What does the STBY hydraulic system power?
    Standby rudder, thrust reversers, leading edge flaps and slats (extend only), standby yaw damper
  28. How is the STBY hydraulic system activated manually?
    Either flight control switch to STBY RUD or ALTERNATE FLAPS master switch to ARM
  29. How is the STBY HYD system activated automatically?
    Loss of system A or B, flaps not up, 60 kts or greater or airborne OR the main PCU Force Fight Monitor (FFM) trips

  32. How are the hydraulic reservoirs pressurized?
    System A and B reservoirs are pressurized by bleed air.  The standby system reservoir is connected to the system B reservoir for pressurization and servicing.
