The document describes the hydraulic systems on an aircraft. It discusses the left, right, and center hydraulic systems. The left and right systems power flight controls and thrust reversers. The center system powers flight controls, slats/flaps, landing gear, brakes, and nose steering. Primary pumps are engine-driven, demand pumps provide backup power. The center system operation in normal and non-normal situations is also summarized. The RAT (ram air turbine) deploys automatically to power flight controls if both engines fail or electrical and hydraulic pressures drop significantly.

Primary Pumps Engine Driven Demand Pumps Electric High System Demand and Backup to EDPs In AUTO operate during takeoff and landing, when primary pump pressure is low In AUTO the RIGHT demand pump operates continuously on the ground Center Powers Flight Controls Slats and Flaps Landing Gear Actuation Nose Gear and Main Gear Steering Alternate Brakes RAT provides hydraulic power to center system flight controls only Primary Pumps Electric C1 and C2 On Ground Single Ground Power Source (incld. APU), C2 pump will NOT run if C1 pump is selected. Pump will not be load shed if engine is running or the following sources are operating: Primary External Power and Secondary External Power, or APU and Primary External Power In Flight C2 Pump may be load shed by ELMS when all other electric pumps are operating, there is a single source of electric power, generator capacity is exceeded. Demand Pumps Air Driven High system demands In AUTO a demand pump operates when system and/or primary pump pressure is low, or when system anticipates large demand. In ON demand pump runs continuously. Selecting both Pumps ON only C1 will operate (both pumps cannot operate simultaneously when set to ON)
Center System Non-Normal Operation Center system quantity sensed to be low, airspeed >60 knots: Alternate brake isolated from center system (Remain operable using reserve fluid) Nose gear acuation and steering isolated Leading edge slats isolated, not allowed to operate in primary mode
Leading edge slats reconnected to center system and allowed to operate in primary mode when: Center hydraulic fluid recovers to normal for 5 seconds, and System determines both engines have been running for more than 30 seconds. Nose gear steering and acuation rconnected when: Airspeed <60 knots, or Hydraulic pressure to center system flight controls is low, or Landing gear is selected down, both engines are normal, both EDP are providing pressure.
RAT Power to Primary Flight Controls on Center System only Deploys automatically if Both engines are failed and center system pressure is low, or Both AC transfer busses are unpowered, or All 3 hydraulic system pressures are low
