Emergency procedures

Hydraulic failure​

In case of hydraulic failure, you will need to use the emergency circuit to maneuver landing gear and spoilers.

In the real aircraft, brakes also need to be operated with the emergency hydraulic handle. This has not been reproduced because of the difficulty to give a precise input to the hydraulic handle while ground rolling.

Landing gear​

Follow this procedure to extend the landing gear in case of hydraulic failure:

  1. Lower landing gear handle.

  1. Click on the button to use secondary hydraulic circuit.

  1. Use manual pump to lower the landing gear.

  1. Stop pumping once the three landing gear lights are green.

It is not possible to retract the landing gear using emergency circuit.

Spoilers​

To extend or retract spoilers using secondary circuit, you simply need to set the three-positions switch as wanted.

Then, just use the manual hydraulic handle.

Fuel dump​

In case of emergency, tip tanks can be emptied with a fuel dump system.

To begin the fuel dumping, use the switch on the right console. A red light indicates the ongoing motion of the dumping valve (lasting only some seconds).

Once draining is in progress, you may wait for approximately 3-4 minutes to jettison the tank completely.

Dumping can be stopped at any time using the switch.
