How do you know the RAT has been deployed?
Green RAT PRESS light and system pressure light is out

7. Hydraulics and Landing Gear
What does the Brake Source light indicate?
This indicates that normal and alternate brake system pressure is low.

8. Hydraulics and Landing Gear
Is anti-skid available during alternate brake system use?
Yes. However anti skid is limited to truck pairs, not individual wheels.

9. Hydraulics and Landing Gear
TRUE / FALSE: alternate landing gear extension uses residual fluid from the left system and a small electric pump to unlock the up locks.
True.

10. Hydraulics and Landing Gear
Is anti-skid brakes available for Normal, Alternate, and reserve brakes?
Yes.

11. Hydraulics and Landing Gear
What would cause the PTU to activate?
Left engine fails, or the left engine pump pressure is low.

12. Hydraulics and Landing Gear
When does the BRAKE SOURCE light come on?
Failure of normal and alternate brakes

13. Hydraulics and Landing Gear
How can I check the operation of the PTU?
Status page indicates normal pressure in the left hydraulic system and the absence of power transfer unit message.

14. Hydraulics and Landing Gear
What is the standpipe fluid reserved for in the center hydraulic system?
Operation of Ram Air Turbine

15. Hydraulics and Landing Gear
What is the standpipe fluid reserved for in the right hydraulic system?
Operation of reserve brakes

16. Hydraulics and Landing Gear
Name the different kinds of brakes on the B757?
Normal, alternate, reserve, and accumulator

17. Hydraulics and Landing Gear
How is the gear and doors held in the up position?
Mechanical locks

18. Hydraulics and Landing Gear
Do you need electrical power to lower the landing gear with the alternate system?
Yes, the small electrical hydraulic pump needs power.

19. Hydraulics and Landing Gear
After using the alternate gear system, does the gear door light remain on?
Yes it is a disagreement because the gear doors remain open.

20. Hydraulics and Landing Gear
What is the maximum steering angle possible using the rudder pedals?
7 degrees

21. Hydraulics and Landing Gear
What is the maximum steering angle possible using the tiller?
65 degrees

22. Hydraulics and Landing Gear
When will the BRAKE TEMP light on the forward instrument panel illuminate?
Any brake temp value above 5

23. Hydraulics and Landing Gear
What is the significance of the standpipe in the left hydraulic system?
To protect sub-systems of the PTU.

24. Hydraulics and Landing Gear
What are the primary systems of the PTU?
Flaps/slats, landing gear, steering and HDG if needed

25. Hydraulics and Landing Gear
What are the primary systems of the center hydraulic system?
Flight controls

26. Hydraulics and Landing Gear
What hydraulic system operates the stabilizer trim?
Center and right

27. Hydraulics and Landing Gear
What is the minimum airspeed for the RAT to provide hydraulic pressure?
130 knots

28. Hydraulics and Landing Gear
What is the significance of the standpipe in the right hydraulic system?
To protect the normal brake system for reserve brake operation.

29. Hydraulics and Landing Gear
What happens when you select reserve brakes, and how do you know have reserve brakes?
The right electric hydraulic pump activates regardless of switch position, and the pump is isolated from the other right system components so that the pump pressure is supplied exclusively to the normal brake system. You will not have a brake source light

30. Hydraulics and Landing Gear
How do you select alternate brakes, and how do you know you have alternate brakes?
Alternate brakes are selected automatically with loss of the right system pressure.

31. Hydraulics and Landing Gear
When does the RTO function work during takeoff?
Above 85 kts.

32. Hydraulics and Landing Gear
When would the RSVR light illuminate?
Low reservoir quantity or pressure.

33. Hydraulics and Landing Gear
When does the auto brake system immediately disarm without pilot action?
When an auto brake or normal anti-skid system fault occurs

34. Hydraulics and Landing Gear
If the fluid level in the right reservoir has leaked down to the top of the standpipe fluid remains available for operation of the
Reserve Brakes

35. Hydraulics and Landing Gear
Which hydraulic reservoir provides the fluid to the PTU for operation of the flaps, slats, landing gear, nose wheel steering, and PTU when the Right hydraulic system is providing the drive energy for the PTU.
Left.
