Random 737 questions

[Yeelep]

It always seemed kind of strange to have near normal hydraulic pressure yet it wasn't enough to operate things properly.

JammedStab,
There should be enough, unless you are referring to running A system from the B system pumps through the ground interconnect. Would you care to elaborate?

It is a bit vague now but I seem to remember on the 727(I know...different airplane) with two engines inop(the ones with the A pumps), the engines were windmilling and producing a fairly high hydraulic pressure but it was not enough to operate systems properly. Of course we never did similar in the 737-200 as it only had two engines.

Vague memory subject to confirmation.
