Which hydraulic system powers the landing gear and nose wheel steering (NWS)?

The landing gear and nose wheel steering (NWS) on the Dassault Falcon 7X are powered by hydraulic System A. This system is crucial for specific aircraft functions that require reliable power for operation during critical phases of flight, such as takeoff, landing, and taxiing.

Hydraulic System A is specifically designed to handle operations that require immediate responsiveness and high reliability, which is why the landing gear and NWS are integrated into this system. This setup ensures that pilots have effective control over the aircraft during these pivotal moments.

Other hydraulic systems in the Falcon 7X serve different functions, such as controlling flight control surfaces or supporting other systems, which is why they are not responsible for the landing gear and NWS. Understanding the distribution of hydraulic power among the various systems helps in maintenance, troubleshooting, and overall aircraft operations.
