operate flight controls, flap systems, actuators, landing gear, and brakes. Primary hydraulic power for the left and right systems is provided by two EDPs and supplemented by two on-demand ACMPs. Primary hydraulic power for the center system is provided ... electric motor pumps (ACMP) and supplemented by two on-demand air turbine-driven pumps. The center system provides hydraulic power for the engine thrust reversers, primary flight controls, landing gear, and flaps/slats. Under emergency conditions, hydraulic power is generated…
