    The Cessna Citation XLS uses a phosphate ester-based hydraulic system to operate the landing gear, flaps, speed brakes, horizontal stabilizer, and thrust reversers. The system contains two engine-driven pumps that supply hydraulic fluid from a reservoir in the tailcone area to the components. If pump output drops below 0.45 gallons per minute, a warning light will illuminate. When hydraulic components are actuated, a bypass valve closes and the system pressurizes to 1500 PSI to power the component, then reverts to low pressure once the cycle is complete.

    Cessna Citation XLS - Hydraulics

    GENERAL
    The Citation XLS utilizes a phosphate ester-based open center concept to operate the landing gear,
    flaps, speed brakes, two-position horizontal stabilizer and the thrust reversers. A separate
    independent system is used for the main wheel antiskid/power brake system.

    RESERVOIR
    The fluid for the system is contained in a hydraulic bootstrap reservoir located in the aft tailcone area.
    The reservoir contains an external tapered-piston rod and housing, and the piston extends or retracts
    based on fluid level in the system. Markings on the piston rod housing indicate refill, full and overfill
    levels. Any time the fluid level drops below the refill position, the rod will activate a microswitch and
    cause the amber LO HYD LEVEL annunciator to illuminate. Servicing requires equipment capable of
    delivering hydraulic fluid under pressure. Bleeding or relieving an overfill condition is accomplished
    by opening a relief valve located on the reservoir (right hand wing root area). Relieved excess fluid is
    drained overboard through the underbelly vent mast. Any internal leakage is collected and drained
    through an overboard vent line.

    PUMPS
    Hydraulic power is provided by two positive displacement engine-driven pumps, each mounted on
    the engine accessory case. Either pump is capable of supplying enough power to operate the gear,
    flaps, speed brakes, two-position horizontal stabilizer and thrust reversers. From each pump,
    hydraulic fluid is routed through filters and flow switch check valve assemblies to the bypass valve
    and relief valve. In the event that either pump output should drop to less than 0.45 gallons per
    minute, +0.10 or -0.10 gallons per minute (GPM), the respective LO HYD FLOW annunciator panel
    light will illuminate. The light will extinguish when pump output reaches a minimum of 1.33 GPM.

    NORMAL OPERATION
    When the landing gear, flaps, speed brakes, two-position horizontal stabilizer or thrust reversers are
    actuated, a bypass valve closes enabling the system to pressurize to 1500 PSI. At the same time,
    the respective control valve opens, allowing flow to go to the selected system. A relief valve which
    maintains system pressure at 1500 PSI is in parallel with the bypass valve. The relief valve starts to
    open at 1350 PSI and is fully open at 1500 PSI. The HYD PRESS light illuminates on the
    annunciator panel any time the system is pressurized. Once the selected cycle is complete, the
    respective control valve closes, the bypass valve opens and the system reverts to the low pressure,
    open center state.
