any one flies falcon 2000EX

[fokkerjet]

It's been awhile, but I seem to remember engines 1 and 3 being paired up on most systems, and engine 2 working alone, backed up with the APU or standby pump. This allows, among other things, engine 1 to be shutdown (delayed start, quick turn, ect), yet all systems are operating normally.....but what do I know????

You are correct Sir!!! The last time I checked on the 900B/EX the STBY pump was a backup to the #2 HYD. system, and the #1 and 3 engines, would each have a pump of their very own....Unless of course, you're on the ground, and the handle in the back, is in the ground position..Yada, Yada, Yada....

It's been a while for me too, I forgot that Dassault changed the 50 so much from the 900. My mistake. I appologize.

My point with 2000 is the number one engine. In the event you lose it over the North Atlantic. You not only lose the engine but the #1 hyd system, which correct me if I am wrong takes out the yaw dampner which means no auto pilot. So now you are hand flying to Shannon or Gander or wherever.

Maybe I should have been clearer but thats a big deal to me. With the system redundancy of the 900/50/G4/G5's you don't lose anything but the engine.

Sure I will correct you ... you are wrong. If you loose your Number 1 engine engine your number 2 engine has a seperate engine driven hyd pump to power your number 1 system. The standby pump is used to power your number 2 system in the event of a system 2 failure.

The Falcon 2000 has 3 engine driven pumps and 1 standby electrical pump. Sorry, I thought that was understood seeing as how you have a Falcon 2000 type rating.

As far as the complete loss of hdr power coment, I was not suggesting that it was a good idea. I would rather have to hand fly an airplane in manual reversion than have my RAT fall down and have a splash because of drag rise. (Challenger comparison, not G)

WHEW ... I am glad that is over. Now let's get back to talking about what is important .... Any good resturants in Kona?

Thanks for the info. I guess I had it wrong.

Here is a real simple one for you. What happens to the 2000 hyd system with an engine failure?

On the Gulfstreams the answer is nothing. On the F900/50 its the same, nothing. Maybe you missed the boat on system redunancy.

ROFLMAO. I didn't even notice that you were 2000 typed! LOL Didn't you just go through 900EX initial also? Maybe you need to follow your own advice..........
