Record 7 2008-03-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Aircraft Systems
OBS

Application of the brake pedal, which is linked to the master cylinder piston rod, causes the piston rod to push the piston forward inside the master cylinder casting. A slight forward movement blocks the compensating port, and the buildup of pressure begins. This pressure is transmitted to the brake assembly. When the brake pedal is released and returns to the "off" position, the piston return spring pushes the front piston seal and the piston back to full "off" position against the piston return stop. This again clears the compensating port. Fluid that was moved into the brake assembly and brake connecting line is then pushed back to the master cylinder by the brake piston which is returned to the "off" position by the pressure of the brake piston return springs. Any pressure or excess volume of fluid is relieved through the compensating port and passes back to the fluid reservoir. This prevents the master cylinder from locking or causing the brakes to drag.

Subject field(s)
  • Aeronautical Engineering and Maintenance
CONT

The hydraulic system reservoirs are serviced through a hydraulic service panel(pressure and return quick disconnects) located behind a door in each side of the aft fuselage, below the engine pylons. A hydraulic service cart, capable of providing fluid under pressure, is required for system servicing. Servicing is accomplished through a spring loaded manual fill valve controlled from the hydraulic system servicing panel. The valve must be held open, in order to discourage overfilling.

Subject field(s)
  • Symptoms (Medicine)

DEF

Manual compression of the internal jugular veins with a manometer attached to the lumbar puncture needle to test for the patency of the subarachnoid space. Normally, compression causes a prompt rise in the cerebrospinal fluid pressure with rapid return to resting levels on release of compression; in partial or total subarachnoid block, this does not occur. The maneuver is contraindicated where increased intracranial pressure is present or suspected.

Épreuve destinée à étudier les modifications de pression du liquide céphalorachidien, après compression brève des veines jugulaires. Normalement, la pression monte rapidement, et redescend aussi vite après décompression des jugulaires. L'absence ou la lenteur d'élévation de la pression lors de la compression, ou la lenteur de la descente lors de la décompression, témoignent d'un obstacle situé entre le compartiment céphalique du LCR et le point de ponction. Il faut toujours s'assurer que la compression abdominale fait monter la pression du LCR pour éliminer toute erreur technique.
