• Redundancy: The technical manual emphasizes that primary flight controls (ailerons, elevators, rudder) are powered by both System A and System B.
• Failure Modes: In the event of a System B failure (often caused by an engine fire switch or low quantity), the manual specifies that the Standby Hydraulic System automatically activates to power the Leading Edge (LE) flaps and slats.
• Manual Reversion: The 737-800 retains manual reversion capability for the flight controls. If both hydraulic systems are lost, the pilot can control the aircraft using cables directly, though the manual notes significantly higher control forces are required.
