Are there any good youtube video about what you should do when you loose hydralic pressure. I seems to do it alot when get hit.

 

I have looked and cant seem to find any.

There’s not much you have to do, the system is pretty self-activating. If you lose either of your two systems, when it’s pressure drops below 2100 psi the bidirectional pump will kick in and pressurize it from the good system. If the leak continues.....

 

- if the combined side bleeds dry, you will have no non-flight-control systems such as wing sweep, inboard spoilers, flaps etc. You can blow your gear down and emergency extend your tail hook.

 

- if the flight side bleeds dry, the Emergency Flight Hydraulic pump will activate. It is an electrically driven hydraulic pump that pressurizes an independent, closed hydraulic loop to your stabs and rudders (only). Control surface movement is limited to 5 degrees per second. It will initially turn on in Low mode. When you get over the airfield, switch it to High and you get 10 degrees per second control authority for eight minutes to allow you to land. Landing on the boat is not authorized on emergency hydraulics. It’s ditching time.

ah ok thx. so you basicly saying that i dont need to do anything in the f14? What is the pump handle for then?

The pump handle is for extending the refuel probe and charging the brake accumulator in case of combined side failure.

 

 

- if the flight side bleeds dry, the Emergency Flight Hydraulic pump will activate.

 

Should the combined side (if available) not still provide power to the actuators?

Yes... maybe I worded that oddly. I was saying if the combined side, and then the flight side bled dry, i.e. both sides.
