Introduction
•The aircraft hydraulic system is an
important component in aircraft
systems, transmitting power through
pressurized fluids to activate flight
controls and other aircraft systems.
•The aim of this technical paper is to
understand and examine a fault that
has taken place in the hydraulic system
and then provide a system design that
can mitigate the fault and prevent it
from occurring.
Problem Statement
• The fault that occurred is that the
indicator of the right side of the engine
driven pump in the hydraulic system is
demonstrating a warning that
indicates a low pressure after the
engine driven pump. this can
potentially reduce the hydraulic power
and damage the pumps.
• This problem requires an overall
analysis and an appropriate solution to
verify that the engine-driven pump is
provided with an acceptable quantity
of hydraulic fluid throughout the
aircraft’s operational life.

Basic operation and purpose New Design Trouble Shooting
• Hydraulic system uses hydraulic fluids to
power mechanical components and
machinery in the aircraft.
• Aircraft uses the hydraulic system for
extension and retraction of landing gear,
flight control, and wheel brakes.
• The components of the hydraulic system
include hydraulic pump, valves, and
actuators.
• The importance of hydraulic systems is to
ensure the reliability and efficiency of
crucial aircraft functions.
Justification of Hydraulic System
 The reservoir stores and cools hydraulic fluid.
 The purpose of a hydraulic pumps is to supply the flow of fluid required by a hydraulic system.
 The accumulator is a pressure storage reservoir that stores hydraulic fluid under pressure from an external
source.
 The filter exists to prevent contaminants from entering the system.
 The relief valves are used to automatically control overpressure.
 The flow control valves are used to regulate the flow of fluids.
 The actuator converts the energy in the hydraulic fluid that is gained from the pumps into mechanical energy.
 The system has two warning switches, the first is low EDP pressure and the second is over temperature.
 The system contains transmitters, transmitters, and gages to monitor the pressure, quantity, and flow of
hydraulic fluid.
