FILTER:
 All filters are located in the left main gear well, on the LH of
the hydraulic bay.
Filter
 There are installed on the reservoir, in the case drain and on
the ACW electrical pumps.
There are four kinds of hydraulic filters:

 The return filters which have a bypass valve which opens at
49.3 PSI. Their clogging indicator pops out at ” s = 24.7 PSI.
 High Pressure (HP) filters which do not have a bypass valve

installed on the pressure line. Their clogging indicator pops
out at ” s = 100 PSI.
 Low Pressure (LP) filters which have a bypass valve which

opens at 50.8 PSI. Their clogging indicator pops out at ” s =
36.3 PSI.
 And the acoustic filters which are intended to reduce the

noise.
 All the filters are cartridge types.

reached.
 A thermal lockout ring which prevents clogging indicator
operation at low temperatures.
FILTER OPERATION:
 The clogging indicator and the by-pass valve operation: for example with the blue system return filter.
 If the filter is not clogged, inlet pressure tends to open the by-pass valve.
 After the filter, outlet pressure and by-pass valve spring power prevent the by-pass valve opening.
 Hydraulic must pass by the filter.
 If the filter is clogged, inlet pressure increases. After the filter outlet pressure is about stable.
 Therefore, this inlet hydraulic power switches of the clogging indicator: red button appears (between 18.8 to 30.5 PSI).
 The inlet pressure continues to increase and then opens the by-pass valve (between 45 to 55 PSI) .
 As long as filter stays clogged, the difference of pressure between inlet and outlet hydraulic pressure is stronger than the spring power.
 The by-pass valve is open and the hydraulic pass by the by-pass valve.

ATA 29 HYDRAULIC POWER | 29.20 AUXILIARY SYSTEM System Operation
SYSTEM OPERATION:
 Blue and green pumps are supplied by ACW
electrical power running. Blue and green hydraulic
pressures are 3,000 PSI.
System Operation
 For example, the green hydraulic pressure
decreases.
 When the green hydraulic pressure is less than

1,500 PSI: the "LO PR" caution light illuminates,
the symbol on the MFD changes and the
message appears on the EWD.
 When the P/B is pushed out the green pump

stops, the "OFF" light illuminates and the "OFF"
legend is displayed on the MFD.
 The cross feed valve has to be opened to

pressurize the green system with the blue system.
 The cross feed valve "ON" light illuminates.
 Now, the blue and the green systems are

pressurized at 3,000 psi.
SYSTEM OPERATION:
In the case of an overheat problem:

 The corresponding pump has to be shut off
and the cross feed valve has to be opened in
the same way as the previous procedure.
SYSTEM OPERATION:
In the case of a low level problem:

 The corresponding pump has to be shut off, but the
cross feed valve cannot be open even if the cross
feed pushbutton is set to "ON".
SYSTEM OPERATION:
Auxiliary pump operating conditions in automatic mode are the following:

 Auxiliary pump pushbutton in depressed position ("OFF" legend extinguished),
 At least one engine running.
 Propeller brake disengaged.
 Landing gear lever in down position.
 Low pressure main blue pump.
SYSTEM OPERATION:

pump is supplied by 28 VDC bus 2 and starts to run.
 If one of the conditions is lost, the automatic

operation of the aux pump is not available (For
example, aircraft on ground and propeller brake
engaged).
 This to avoid a long time running of the DC pump

without any blue hydraulic pressure needed.
Auxiliary Pump Manual Mode Operation:
 On ground, auxiliary pump operates in manual mode when its pushbutton is pressed in.
 In manual mode, the auxiliary pump is supplied by 28VDC Hot main bat bus.
 It operates for 30 seconds, or for as long as the auxiliary hydraulic pump pushbutton is maintained pushed.
ATA 29 HYDRAULIC POWER | 29.20 AUXILIARY SYSTEM DC Electrical Pump
DC Electrical Pump:
The DC electrical (or also auxiliary) pump is located in the hydraulic bay, at the rear of the ACW electrical pumps (green and blue pumps).

operates as long as its pushbutton is maintened pushed.
ATA 29 HYDRAULIC POWER | 29.20 AUXILIARY SYSTEM Cross Feed Valve
CROSS FEED VALVE:

 The cross feed (or X FEED) valve is located in the hydraulic bay, on the case drain.
 The cross feed is a solenoid operated valve, spring-loaded closed controlled by a pushbutton on the overhead panel of the flight
compartment.
Cross Feed Valve
SYSTEM OPERATION:
 The cross feed (or X FEED) valve is installed
between the green and blue systems to
interconnect them in case of one of the systems
fails.
 If either the green, or the blue system fails to
operate without a low level advisory occurrence,
the other can assume an auxiliary function,
under pilot control, using the cross feed valve.
 In normal pressure conditions, electro valve is
not energized (closed).
 The calibrated shuttle valve provides insulation
between blue and green hydraulic systems.
 If a blue system low pressure is detected by the
low pressure switch, electrovalve is energized
(opened).
 Therefore the calibrated shuttle valve is
released. Thus, the green system hydraulic
feeds the blue system.
 If a green system low pressure is detected by the
green low pressure switch, electrovalve is
energized (opened).
 Therefore the calibrated shuttle valve is
released. Thus, the blue system hydraulic feeds
the green system.
The cross feed valve opening conditions are:

 "ON" X FEED switch pressed in, and no low level detection.
 When the cross feed valve pushbutton is pressed to the "ON" position, the valve opens and the hydraulic circuits are connected.
SYSTEM OPERATION:
 The cross feed valve is supplied by the DC standby bus

via the 4GE relay and X FEED pushbutton.
 If a low level is detected, the cross feed inhibit relay 4GE

is energized.
 The electrical power is cut off and cross feed valve is

mechanically closed by a spring.
SYSTEM OPERATION:
 In case of leak detection, it is not possible to open the cross feed valve, even if the cross feed pushbutton is set to "ON".
 When the cross feed valve pushbutton is released, both hydraulic circuits are separated.

ATA 29 HYDRAULIC POWER | 29.00 GENERAL Safety and Precautions
The main safety precautions while working with hydraulic

fluids are the following:
 Hydraulic fluid attacks a wide range of materials including
rubber, copper, various plastics and paints. Ensure that
hydraulic fluid does not come into contact with any part of
the aircraft.
 Do not mix hydraulic fluid with other fluids. They can form a
jelly-like substance in the hydraulic lines. Use only clean
hydraulic fluid for flushing or testing hydraulic components.
 Do not put fluid into any container other than the original
container.
 Do not expose hydraulic fluid to air longer than absolutely
necessary. Fluid absorbs dust and grit from the air and
causes a serious hazard.
 Use caps, covers or other suitable protection to prevent
foreign material from entering the lines or components.
 Apply barrier cream to hands, wrists, forearms and rub
cream under fingernails and into creases of skin. Long
exposure to hydraulic fluid can cause skin hydratation and
chapping.
 Wear goggles before pressurize components or systems,
or there is a risk of splashing fluid.
Note: the normal hydraulic pressure is very high (about
3000 PSI).
 During component removal, take care to minimize fluid
loss.
 The filters bowls are similar. Do not mix the cartridge types.
Proper hose installations.
