Which statement accurately describes the Booster hydraulic system's role?

• A. Half of the aileron, rudder, and elevator controls
• B. Nosewheel Steering
• C. Brakes and anti-skid only
• D. Wing Flaps and landing gear only

Answer: (A)

Booster hydraulic systems are there to provide extra hydraulic force to move the primary flight control surfaces, reducing the effort the pilot must exert. This assistance is distributed, so only part of each axis gets boosted. That’s why the statement that accurately describes its role is that it powers half of the aileron, rudder, and elevator controls. In other words, booster hydraulics share the work across the primary controls to keep control feel manageable and maintain redundancy, rather than handling nosewheel steering, brakes/anti-skid, or wing flaps and landing gear, which use different hydraulic paths or systems.
