NAVAIR 01.Fl4AAD-1
Automatic control of the BFCM is provided by the
closing of both flight and combined hydraulic system
pressure switches. Since the switches are set at 2,100
psi, both flight and combined hydraulic system pressures
must drop below 2,100 psi before the BFCM is
turned on in the automatic low mode. Once in this automatic
mode of operation, the BFCM cannot be turned
offunless eitherorboth flight and combined systems are
pressurized above 2,400 psi. The EMERG FLT HYD
switch is used to select the low or high mode. Either of
these positions overrides the circuitry of the automatic
low mode and the BFCM will remain on even if either
or both system pressures become pressurized above
2,400 psi. When the BFCM pump reaches 500 psi, the
ON flag appears in the selected window at the bottom
of the hydraulic pressure indicator.

The BFCM will remain fully serviced and will

BFCM should not be turned off in flight without

If either the flight or the combined hydraulic
systemp ressured ropsb elow 2,100 psi without
illuminating the HYD PRESS caution

flight control system may be inoperative.
2.16.4.2 Ground Operations. Ground checks of
the BFCM are performed by the pilot using the EMER
FLT BYD switch. Before performing ground checks,
the combined and brake system accumulators must be
chargedT. he BFCM hasa small volume capacity, 1,000
cc (61 cubic inches) when full, but will decrease in
volume to 500 cc (30.5 cubic inches) when the aircratt
is not in use. Below 500 cc (30.5 cubic inches), cavitation
of the pump and overheating of the motor may
occur. If the accumulators are not charged prior to starting
the BFCM, depletion ofthe reservoir hydraulic fluid
will occur. If this occurs too frequently, system damage
and failure may result. Both hydraulic system pressures
should indicate zero in order to fully test independent
operation of the BFCM.
A 180 “F thermal cutoff switch is bypassed
when the BFCM is selected on
with the EMERG FLT BYD switch. Prolonged
ground operation in the emergency
mode will result in BFCM burnout.
Since flight control demands can exceed
BFCM capability, all surface demands
must be performed slowly and cautiously
in order not to exceed the output rate of the
system. Excessive system demands will

overheat. Checks should be made slowly

2.16.4.2.1 Ground Test Mode. The ground test
mode of operation is controlled by the AUX BYD
CONT switch on the ground test panel in the rearcockpit.
In this mode, the BFCM operates in the high mode
only. Ground test from the rear cockpit is electrically
inhibited when the aircraft is on internal electrical
power. For ground inspection purposes, protrusion of a
red-tipped button on either the inlet or outlet filter cases
is a positive indication of a dirty filter. Both such indications
