Term
in AUTO mode, once your secondary pumps have had to come on to help the primarys with pressure what PSI do they shut off once they've reached?
Definition
3850 psi
Term
At what pressure does the PRESS AVAIL light come on at the LACP? At what pressure does it extinguish?
Definition

comes on at 2700 PSI

extinguishes once pressure drops below 2200 PSI

Term
At what temperature do the AUX pumps shut down?
Definition
135 degrees C
Term
What two things auto shutdown the Aux pumps?















































































What are two reasons the AUX pumps auto shut down?
Definition
temperature at 135 degrees C
or fluid quantity drops below 0.4 gallons
Term
How do you override an auto shutdown of #2 or #3 AUX pump?
Definition
Hold pump switch for more than 5 seconds, continue holding while operating door
Term
Where is the transfer pump located?
Definition
Right aft main landing gear pod
Term
Where is the RAT and what does it do?
Definition
Forward right main landing gear pod. It's deployed to provide hydraulic pressure in the case of a 4 engine flameout

Definition
#1 7.2
#2 11.7
#3 7.4
#4 7.2 (gallons)
Term
How are the HSC's powered?
Definition
#1 is primary, electrical snd powered by battery bus. #2 is backup and powered by DC bus #3.
Term
what is the #2 SYS EMERG BACKUP switch on the LACP for?
Definition
it selects the AUX reservoir sump for the #2 system, provides backup hydraulic fluid in the event of loss of #2 fluid.
Term
How does the #2 Aux reservoir sump get its fluid?
Definition
It is maintained full by fluid in #2 system returning from the empennage.
Term
What are cold weather procedures for the hydraulic sytems?
Definition
Below 15 degrees F alternate hydraulics on/off 30 second durations, max of 10 cycles until you reach 3500 PSI
under 45 degrees F use both AC packs to warm cargo box
