Cant remember, why is the B system on the left side of the aircraft and A system is on the right side? You would think it'd be the opposite. John?

I agree, but I don't have a clue why B is left and A is right. Maybe hydraulic designers just don't want to follow engine numbering and part numbering precedent.

Best guess for me is because the A system is the one used by EPU during emergencies. Since the EPU is located in the right side fuselage, it makes the most sense to me name it the A(primary) system. My 2 pesos.
