1. Energy Conversion

The engine supplies mechanical rotation. The pump converts that rotation into hydraulic flow. Pressure appears when the flow meets resistance.

2. Flow Control

The control valve meters fluid to the actuator. Closing it reduces downstream flow, while pump-side pressure can rise toward the relief setting.

3. Landing Gear Failure

If actuator pressure or flow falls too low, the gear cannot complete its movement. The simulator marks this as a hydraulic movement failure.
