In mechanical backup do we still require some form of electrical power for the hydraulic actuators?
Not much detail in the fcom.

Both the THS and rudder need only hydraulic pressure to operate mechanically.

Not much detail in the fcom.

Find someone in coveralls to point you to the maintenance training stuff. :ok:

MECHANICAL CONTROL
"Mechanical control of the THS is available from the pitch trim wheel at any time, if either the green or yellow hydraulic system is functioning."
MECHANICAL RUDDER CONTROL
"The pilots can use conventional rudder pedals to control the rudder."

How much more detail do you need?
