• EMDP cooling time will depend upon whether the pump is
running, or whether the pump is OFF. (Should take approximately
5 minutes to cool to normal temps when running, but
approximately 30 minutes when off because the fluid provides
cooling to the pump. This of course will vary slightly, depending
upon fluid temperature and wheel well temperature depending
upon condition.)
• Hydraulic Quantity indication is affected by gear/flap/spoiler/flight
control position, as well as thermal shrinking. You will notice
changes in hydraulic quantity indicated during flight as you
change the configuration of the airplane, set the parking brake,
etc.
• Hydraulic quantity is displayed as measured to the standpipe
within each reservoir. You may retain some pressure and
functionality even when the system shows no quantity because
there is fluid below the standpipe!
Landing Gear:
• Brakes are subject to Brake Temperature Soak. The brake
temperature will climb for a period of time after heavy brake use.
• Wheel well fire warning can be triggered by sucking hot brakes
up into the gear bay. Follow the checklist if you get a wheel well
fire indication!
• You will notice that the volume of the gear-bay turbulence sound
changes as the nose gear forward bay doors open and close
during extension and retraction. This sound is entirely code
controlled and dynamic, so if you lower the gear using the
alternate extension, the turbulence noise will be louder on the
flight deck than it is when those doors close as they normally do
during extension.
Lighting Systems:
• The diagram used to determine the power source for every bulb
on the flight deck takes up 165 standard sized print pages.
Physics-based Wing Flex:
• The wing now utilizes a fully physics-based wing flex model. The
wings will sag while on the ground, depending on how much fuel
is in them. While in flight, the wings will be lifted upward by the
