decreases until it indicates approximately zero and system B pressure is lost.

engine? driven pump and the electric motor? driven pump. However, with fluid
level at the top of the standpipe, fluid remaining in the system B reservoir is
sufficient for power transfer unit operation.
a) False.
b) True

in airplane controllability.
a) False
b) True
5. The Power Transfer Unit (PTU) provides a backup source of hydraulic
pressure to operate the:
6. The purpose of the PTU is to supply the additional volume of hydraulic fluid
needed to operate the autoslats and leading edge flaps and slats at the normal
rate when system A engine-driven hydraulic pump volume is lost. The PTU
uses system B pressure to power a hydraulic motor-driven pump, which
pressurizes system A hydraulic fluid.

operation of the electric hydraulic pumps?
17. SYSTEM 'A' HYDRAULIC LEAK- If a leak develops in the engine driven pump

b) 20%
c) 5%
d) 30%
18. System A & B hydraulic fluid is cooled by:
19. A fluid leak develops in System A electric pump or its related lines, or
components common to both the engine and electric motor driven pumps, the
quantity in the reservoir steadily decreases to zero and all system pressure is
lost.
a) True
b) False.
20. The Power Transfer Unit operates automatically when all of the following
conditions exist:
a) System B engine-driven pump hydraulic pressure drops below limits only when
airborne and when flaps are less than 5 but not up
b) System B engine-driven pump hydraulic pressure drops below limits only when
airborne and when flaps are less than 5 but not up whith landing gear positioned
to UP.
c) System B engine-driven pump hydraulic pressure drops below limits only when
airborne
d) System B engine-driven pump hydraulic pressure drops below limits only when
airborne and when flaps are less than 15 but not up
21. The purpose of the landing gear transfer unit is to supply the volume of
hydraulic fluid needed to raise the landing gear at the normal rate when
system B engine-driven pump volume is lost.
a) False.
b) True
22. The standby hydraulic system is provided as a back-up if system A and/or B
pressure is lost. The standby system can be activated manually or
automatically and uses a single electric motor-driven pump to power:
23. Automatic operation of the Standby Hydraulic System is initiated when all the
following conditions exist:
a) False.
b) True
26. With the loss of system A, you have to plan for alternate gear extension.
a) True
b) False.
28. Why do the engine driven-pump switches normally stay in the ON position?
30. What condition is NOT necessary for the landing gear transfer unit to operate?
