A TRIPLEX HYDRAULIC SYSTEM provides maximum safety and reliability for the powered flying controls. In a triplex system, all three sub-systems operate simultaneously so that if one fails, the two remaining sub-systems continue to provide control without interruption, the failed sub-system being isolated at leisure. In addition to the flying controls, the hydraulic system operates the landing gear, wheel brakes, nosewheel steering and freight doors.
