Falcon 2000 Hydraulics Questions with Correct
Answers
How many hydraulic pumps are there on the Falcon 2000?
4
Can the engine driven pumps be turned off?
No
During normal operation, what amount of pressure do the hydraulic systems apply?
2900-3000psi
Is there any protection for a failure if the pump pressure becomes too high?
Yes, over pressure relief valves
How many hydraulic pumps does the #1 hydraulic system have and where are they
located?
Two pumps, one located on the left engine and the other is located on the right engine.
Does each # hydraulic system pump supply fluid to the components at the same
pressure?
Yes
Why do we start the #2 engine first in the Falcon 2000?
To make sure the 130 PSI flow restrictor valve is working
Are the hydraulic reservoirs pressurized, and if so how are they pressurized?
Yes, through engine LP bleed air.
What alerts the pilot if the reservoir pressurization system is not providing enough air.
, The HYDR # TK PRESS annunciator
What items are supplied by the number one hydraulic system?
- Nosewheel steering,
