Hello friends,
Is there any one hydraulic specialist who knows the reasons of increasing level of hydraulic system "A" after every flight up to 10% and becomes 100% after few flights without decreasing of pneumatic pressure in any accumulator attached to hydraulic system "A"?

Hey guys I have a question about the hydraulic system in the F-16 I wonder what is the fluid that is used in the F-16 hydraulic system A and B. And what is the oil used for if the fluid is air.

The Hydraulic fluid used in the Viper is a less flammable derivative of Mil-H-5606, I could be mistaken but it may be MIL-H-81352, don't hold me to it. It has been over twenty years since I worked on them.
Also, for the A system increase could be an ISA cross overlook from B system. That is the only place they could co-mingle. Check and see if B system is going down any. It will not be proportional, i.e. 10% increase in A sys will not be a 10% decrease in B due to sizes of reservoirs.
Check the smell also, if it smells like fuel it could be the hydraulic cooler in the fuel tank.

I believe the less flammable replacement for Mil-H-5606 is Mil-H-83282

Do the brakes work on nitrogen in the event of system A and B failure pls I need a deep explanation
Also, I’m wondering about how does systems B recharges the brake/JFS with hydraulic pressure? Does it mean that system B supplies the accumulators with nitrogen? and if it’s …so what is the main source of the nitrogen? Are all accumulators compressed air bottles?
