2. Power transfer unit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_transfer_unit

   In aviation, a power transfer unit (PTU) is a device that transfers hydraulic power from one of an aircraft's hydraulic systems to another in the event that the other system has failed or been turned off. The PTU is used when, for example, there is right hydraulic system pressure but no left hydraulic system pressure.

3. List of aircraft braking systems - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Aircraft_braking...

   In some older aircraft, the bottom section is used instead ("heel brakes"). Levers are used in a few aircraft. Most aircraft are capable of differential braking. [1] Thrust reversers, that allow thrust from the engines to be used to slow the aircraft. Air brakes, dedicated flight control surfaces that work by increasing drag.

4. Autobrake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autobrake

   An autobrake is a type of automatic wheel-based hydraulic brake system for advanced airplanes. [1] The autobrake is normally enabled during takeoff and landing procedures, when the aircraft's longitudinal deceleration system can be handled by the automated systems of the aircraft itself in order to keep the pilot free to perform other tasks.

5. ATA 100 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATA_100

   While the ATA 100 numbering system has been superseded, it continued to be widely used until it went out of date in 2015, especially in documentation for general aviation aircraft, on aircraft Fault Messages (for Post Flight Troubleshooting and Repair) and the electronic and printed manuals. The Joint Aircraft System/Component (JASC) Code ...

6. Aircraft systems - Wikipedia

   The hydraulic system is also used to extend and retract landing gear, operate flaps and slats, operate the wheel brakes and steering systems. Hydraulic systems consist of engine driven pumps, fluid reservoirs, oil coolers, valves and actuators. Redundancy for safety is often provided by the use of multiple, isolated systems. [3]

7. Hydraulic brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_brake

   The AEC Routemaster bus is a well-known application of power hydraulic brakes and the successive generations of Citroen cars with hydropneumatic suspension also used fully powered hydraulic brakes rather than conventional automotive brake systems. Most large aircraft also use power hydraulic wheel brakes, due to the immense amounts of braking ...

8. Aircraft flight manual - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_flight_manual

   An aircraft flight manual (AFM) is a paper book or electronic information set containing information required to operate an aircraft of certain type or particular aircraft of that type (each AFM is tailored for a specific aircraft, though aircraft of the same type naturally have very similar AFMs). The information within an AFM is also referred ...

9. Pneudraulics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneudraulics

   Derived from the words hydraulics and pneumatics, pneudraulics is the term used when discussing systems on military aircraft that use either or some combination of hydraulic and pneumatic systems. The science of fluids made of both gas and liquid.
