Hydraulic System
Introduction
The F-100D features three irreversible hydraulic systems: the utility system and two flight control systems (flight control system No. 1 and No. 2). Each system is powered by an engine driven hydraulic pump designed to produce up to 3,000 psi. In addition, the aircraft features a ram air turbine (RAT) hydraulic pump for emergencies.
The systems power the following:
Hydraulic Pressure Gauge
The Hydraulic pressure gauge is useed in conjunction with the hydraulic gauge selector switch. Selecting the desired system on the selector switch will display the pressure on the hydraulic pressure gauge (System No. 1, System No. 2, Utility, or Alternate Rudder test)
