HYDRAULICS

GENERAL (Figure 1)

Hydraulic power for operation of the flight controls, landing gear, nose wheel steering and brakes is supplied by three independent hydraulic systems, designated No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3.

No. 1 system is pressurized by an engine pump on the left engine and/or by an electric pump. A system reservoir and an accumulator complete the system, and are located with the electric pump on the left side of the rear equipment bay.

No. 2 system is similar to No. 1 system except that its engine pump is on the right engine and its electric pump, reservoir and accumulator are located on the right side of the rear equipment bay.

No. 3 system is pressurized by either of two electric pumps, designated 3A and 3B, and supplied by a system reservoir and an accumulator, all located in or near the main landing gear bay. The pumps are on either side of the fuselage aft of the main landing gear bay, the reservoir is between the wheel bins, and the accumulator is forward and outboard of the right wheel bin.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM COMPONENTS (Figures 1 and 2)

A. Engine Pumps (2)

The engine pumps are driven by their associated engine accessory gearbox. Each pump automatically varies its displacement to control fluid outlet pressure at a nominal 3000 psi. A shutoff valve in each pump supply line closes when operated by its associated LH (or RH) ENG FIRE PUSH switch/light on the glareshield.

On aircraft 5041 and 5146, the shutoff valves can be closed if the EDP SHUT/SOV FAULT switch lights on the HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS panel are selected.

B. Electric Pumps (4)

The electric pumps have the same mechanical operation as the engine pumps. No. 1 pump is supplied by ac main bus No. 2, and No. 2 pump is supplied by ac main bus No. 1. This cross-side power supply arrangement ensures continued pressurization of both No. 1 and No. 2 hydraulic systems by at least one pump on each system (one electric pump, one engine pump) should one engine fail or be shut down (refer to Figure 1 for operation of generator line contactors). No. 3B pump is supplied by ac main bus No. 1. Should this bus become unpowered in flight as a r e s u l t o f a l l ac power being l o s t , the a i r d r i v e n g e n e r a t o r (ADC) automatically deploys and powers the pump directly, bypassing the pump ON/OFF control switch. This arrangement ensures continued operation of No. 3 hydraulic system using pump 3B only.

OPERATING MANUAL PSP 601A-6

C. Reservoirs (3)

The hydraulic system reservoirs are of the self-pressurizing, bootstrap type. A suction pressure of 55 psi is maintained by associated system pressure acting on a piston within each reservoir. Each reservoir has a direct reading fluid level indicator, a fluid temperature probe and an overflow line connected to an overflow tank.

D. Accumulators (3)

Each piston-type accumulator maintains pressure when rapid increases in demand are made on the associated system. The accumulator pre-charged pressure can be read on a gauge located near the accumulator. Should a double engine failure occur, No. 3 system accumulator would also cater to the flight control requirements until the air-driven generator (ADG) came on line.

E. Heat Exchanger

A ram air heat exchanger, with separate cores for No. 1 and No. 2 systems, is located aft of the rear equipment bay door. Ram air from the dorsal fin inlet cools the cores in flight. An automatic, temperature-controlled, electric blower cools the cores if an overheat condition occurs. The No. 3 system is cooled by its hydraulic lines running through the fuel in the wing tanks.

3. LANDING GEAR (Figure 3)

The main landing gear retracts inward into a recess in the wing and centre fuselage, and the nose landing gear retracts forward beneath the flight compartment. Normal extension and retraction is electrically controlled and hydraulically operated. Hydraulic pressure for normal landing gear operation is supplied by No. 3 hydraulic system.

For emergency landing gear operation, the gear may be extended by pulling the landing gear manual release T-handle in the flight compartment. The handle mechanically releases the landing gear uplocks and dumps hydraulic pressure, allowing the gear to free-fall. The gear is assisted by a combination of airflow and spring pressure on the nose gear, and by a down-lock assist actuator, supplied by No. 2 hydraulic system, on the main gear.

The landing gear control lever is positioned on the right side of the centre instrument panel. Landing gear position indications are given by three green lights above the landing gear selector and flashing red lights in the landing gear handle. An aural warning is also provided to warn of unsafe gear configuration for the flight conditions.

A, Landing Gear Control Unit

The landing gear control unit contains two circuits: a landing gear control circuit and a weight-on wheels circuit,

The landing gear control circuit processes landing gear control information using inputs from the landing gear proximity switches, the landing gear control lever and the throttle levers. Outputs from the circuit consist of landing gear command signals* landing gear control lever indicator/interlock signals and aural warning signals.

The weight-on-wheels (WOW) circuit provides two independent outputs designated WOW 1 and WOW 2. Each WOW output circuit receives proximity switch signals and passes either a weight-on-wheels or a weight-off-wheels signal to aircraft systems using WOW information. A comparator circuit causes the appropriate light below the landing gear lever to come on to warn of system malfunctions.

B. Landing Gear Control Lever

The landing gear control lever has a solenoid-operated downlock which prevents inadvertent selection of gear UP with a weight-on-wheels signal input. A release button adjacent to the control lever permits the landing gear to be retracted if the downlocks fail to disengage normally, due to a fault in the solenoid circuit, when gear UP is selected.

4. MAIN LANDING GEAR BAY OVERHEAT DETECTION SYSTEM (Figure 4)

Overheat and fire detection is provided for the main landing gear bay by fire-sensing cables, which are routed around the top inner surface of each main wheel bin and connected to a detection control unit. Two switch/lights marked OVHT and OVHT WARN FAIL, located below the landing gear lever, provide the required warnings and test functions.

The detection control unit, which has two channels, overheat and short-to-ground, discriminates between an actual overheat condition and a short circuit.

NOSE WHEEL STEERING (Figure 5)

The nose wheel steering system is an electro-hydraulic system controlled by an electronic control module (ECM). With the nose gear down and locked, weight on wheels, and the N/W STEER switch ARMED, the nose wheel steering is available using the steering quadrant or the pilot's or copilot's rudder pedals. Full movement of the steering quadrant commands 55 degrees of nose wheel steering and full deflection of the rudder pedals commands 7 degrees of nose wheel steering. Steering quadrant inputs and rudder pedal inputs are cumulative but will not command steering angles greater than 55 degrees. Thus, i f the steering controls are crossed, nose wheel rotation equals the difference between the two steering signals. If the steering controls are coordinated, the nose wheel rotates to an angle equal to the sum of the steering commands. With steering command capabilities of 55 degrees from the steering quadrant and of 7 degrees from the rudder pedals, the steering quadrant can override the rudder pedals by a 55 to 7 ratio.

When the N/W STEER switch is OFF, i f hydraulic power is removed from the system or i f an automatic shutdown has been commanded by the ECM, the system reverts to a free castoring mode. In this mode, the nose wheel is free to castor up to 99 degrees from the centered position. Free castoring can be used during towing or when asymmetric thrust and braking must be used to obtain a low turning radius.

With the system operating and the nose wheel near the maximum steering angle, steering angles greater than 55 degrees can be obtained on rough terrain or when normal steering inputs are augmented by differential application of brakes or engine thrust. In this case, the ECM automatically places the system in the free castoring mode and steering can only be re-engaged by reducing the steering angle to below 55 degrees and cycling the N/W STEER switch between OFF and ARMED.

BRAKES AND ANTI-SKID SYSTEM (Figure 6)

A. Brakes

Each main wheel is fitted with a hydraulic disc brake unit. The inboard brakes are powered by the No. 3 hydraulic system and the outboard brakes by the No- 2 hydraulic system. Each hydraulic system has a brake accumulator which provides sufficient hydraulic pressure for approximately eight brake applications in the event of hydraulic power failure or shutdown. A hydraulic fuse in each brake line prevents complete loss of fluid should a leak in the brake area occur. Blowout plugs installed in the wheels prevent tire blowouts should the heat generated by the brakes become excessive- Pre-charge pressure gauges, for both brake system accumulators, are located in the nose landing gear bay on the forward left-hand side.

Anti-Skid System

The anti-skid system consists of a skid control unit, two dual anti-skid control valves and wheel speed sensors in each main wheel. The system independently controls the braking of each main wheel by automatically varying the hydraulic pressure output of each dual brake control valve before these outputs reach the brakes.

An arming switch on the anti-skid panel controls power to the skid control unit.

Inputs received by the control unit are weight-on-wheels and wheel velocity information. The control unit outputs consist of control signals to the anti-skid valves, warning signals to failure indication lights and a logic wheel spin-up signal to the ground spoiler control unit.

The anti-skid system has the following features:

Modulated skid prevention of each wheel through the primary anti-skid circuits.

Locked wheel protection, which prevents a deep skid or failure of a wheel to spin-up at touchdown, also provides a coarse backup circuit in the event of failure of the primary anti-skid circuit.

Pre-landing protection prevents brake application at all wheels while the aircraft is still airborne, but is overridden to allow normal skid-controlled braking as soon as the wheels have spun up.

Built-in test equipment provides a system check both on the ground (pre-take-off) and in the air (pre-landing).

Parking Brake

The parking brake system consists of a parking brake handle mounted at the lower right edge of the pilot's instrument panel connected, via a push-pull cable assembly, to the lever of the dual brake valve control mechanism.

Fully depressing both brake pedals on either the pilot's or copilot's side, and pulling then rotating the brake handle, latches the brake valve control mechanism, thereby securing both dual brake valves in the on position.
