5. Yellow hand pump is located and used for:
a. On Yellow pressure manifold and for brake accumulator
charging.
b. ►On Yellow pressure manifold and for cargo door manual
operation.
c. On Yellow pressure manifold and for Normal brake operation.
d. Answers A and B are both correct.
The yellow Electric Pump and the Hand Pump are mounted on the aft wall of
the hydraulics compartment.
The hand pump lever is stowed on the aft wall close to the pump.
For ground operation, if the electric pump is not available, a hand pump may
be used to operate the cargo doors. The hand pump will pressurize only the
cargo doors system and no other part of the yellow system.
6. Where is Blue high pressure manifold located?
a. Inside wheel well LH wall.
b. Inside wheel well FWD wall.
c. Inside wheel well AFT LH wall.
d. ►In the LH wing root direct from Main gear leg bay.
BLUE : in the LH wing root, next to the Blue reservoir.
GREEN : inside the main landing gear wheel well on the LH side of the aft
wall, next to the Green reservoir.
YELLOW : inside the main landing gear wheel well, on the RH side of the aft
wall.

7. The servo control manifold filters are of:
a. By passing type in case of clogging.
b. ►None by passing type with a clogging indicator.
c. Operates at 170 PSI differential pressure.
d. Cleanable and can be cleaned in situ.
They are of the non-bypassing type, with a clogging indicator set to operate at
87 psi. When the filter is installed, do not forget to reset the clogging indicator.
An automatic shut-off mechanism in the filters, prevents any leakage of fluid
during removal or installation, it also prevents air to enter into the system.
8. Green High pressure manifold is located:
a. In the LH wing root, next to blue reservoir.
b. ►Inside main L/G wheel well on LH side AFT wall.
c. Inside main L/G wheel well on the center.

BLUE : in the LH wing root, next to the Blue reservoir.
GREEN : inside the main landing gear wheel well on the LH side of the aft
wall, next to the Green reservoir.
YELLOW: inside the main landing gear wheel well, on the RH side of the aft
wall.

Display cause:
a. ►Master Caution + Single Chime.
b. Green System depressurized.
c. Answer A and B are both correct.
d. None of the answers are correct.
In case of single Green Pump failure the warnings are triggered but on the
ECAM system display the chart will remain green except the pump symbol
which becomes amber (LO).
The system is still pressurized by the remaining pump.

10. Servo control selector switch in off position means: d. Green electric pumps and Reservoir Air pressure system.
a. Supply to pressure manifold is lost.
b. ►Supply to servo manifold is lost.
c. Supply to return manifold is lost.
d. Answers A and B are both correct.
The servo control manifold delivers pressure to the flight control sub-systems
through an electro-hydraulic servo control selector valve.

11. When selecting Electric pump switch “ON” on Hydraulic panel:

14. How can we close E.D.P.’s hydraulic shut off valves?

c. Only pump Number one starts. c. By Engine Fire handles and from Hydraulic panel.
d. Only pump Number Two starts. d. From Maintenance test panel (MTP).
Two parallel-mounted electric pumps supply power : The fire shut-off valves are electrically controlled by the fire handle action.
- to the Green system
- to the Blue and Yellow systems through PTUs.
The Green Elec Pumps are used mainly on the ground, for testing or preflight
test procedures. They can also be used in flight to boost fluid flow or in case
of failure. When pressed the ELEC PUMPS P/B switch activates both pumps.
A 3 seconds delay on a pump electrical supply line avoids the simultaneous
starting of both pumps.

12. Where can we test the electric pumps (Green) individually?

a. ►From MTP.
b. From Hydraulic System Control Panel.
c. On phase unbalance detector.
d. Listening to pump operating noise inside wheel well.
On the maintenance panel, a 3 positions ELEC PUMPS TEST switch allows
power to be supplied to each pump individually.

13. Which of the following Hydraulic Systems can be tested from MTP? 15. The yellow hydraulic shut off valve will close when:

a. Green electric pumps. a. LH Engine Fire handle is pulled.

b. Engine driven pumps. b. RH Engine Fire handle is pulled.
c. ►Green electric pumps and Reservoir overheat.

volume? Before filling the Yellow reservoir :
- Cargo doors closed
a. Blue.
- Brakes accumulators pressurized.
b. ►Yellow.
c. Green.
d. Blue and Yellow.

22. Gen electric pumps:

Two parallel-mounted electric pumps supply power :
- to the Green system
- to the Blue and Yellow systems through PTUs.
The Green Elec Pumps are used mainly on the ground, for testing or preflight
test procedures.
They can also be used in flight to boost fluid flow or in case of failure.
Removal of either pump is done with a negligible loss of fluid owing to a self-
sealing coupling at the suction inlet and a check valve at the delivery and
case drain outlets.

23. Reservoir servicing:

A single device enables the 3 reservoirs to be filled from the Green system
ground service panel.
Before filling any reservoir, check that :
- No system pressure (Hyd. pressure = 0 on ECAM)
-Concerned system depressurized using the pressure relief/manual
decompression valve (HP manifold)
- Flight controls to neutral
- Speedbrakes and spoilers down
- Reservoir AIR pressurized.
Before filling the Green reservoir :
