 TYPES

The aircraft’s Hydraulic System consists of two types

 Main Hydraulic System

 Auxiliary Hydraulic System

01/17/2024 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM - AN-32 AIRCRAFT 6

 MAIN HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

Main Hydraulic System is used for

 Flaps extension & retraction
 Landing gear extension & retraction
 Nose wheel steering
 Main landing gear wheels braking
 Engines shutdown & propeller feathering
 Cargo door opening & closing [with ramp sliding to
under & from under the fuselage
 Ventral emergency exit hatch opening & closing
 Windscreen wipers drive

 AUXILIARY HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Auxiliary Hydraulic System is used for
 Flaps emergency extension
 Main landing gear wheels emergency braking
 Cargo door opening & closing [with ramp sliding to
under & from under the fuselage
 Cargo door opening & closing on ground with ramp
lowering & lifting
 Ventral emergency exit hatch opening
 Filling & pumping through the suction pipeline of pumps
435ɸ
 Provided with hand-operated pump to build up pressure
in the cargo door control line & hydraulic reservoir
replenishment
