Double Hydraulic failure on B777 and more
1) Can anybody tell me if you loose the PFC's in case of a double hydraulic failure on B777?
2) In case of low QTY on hydr sys C the system is split and nose gear isolated. What about the alternate gear extension to nose gear and main gear unlocks, are they also isolated?

1 No the PFC's are still available. Flight Controls remain in Primary mode so Auto Pilot is still available. Able to still fly RNAV approaches but not Auto land.
2 Not sure about this question but Alternate Gear extension is always available with Dual Hydraulic failure. (Are the uplocks isolated - need an engineer to explain how the system works mechanically.) I am sure there is some one here who can answer that.

Reading the FCOM I would also conclude that the PFC are still there. There is no correlation between the PFC and a double hydraulic failure but this failure would also mean the loss of multiple control surfaces and at higher speeds the outboard ailerons are locked out as well.
I understand your answer but can you confirm that with the EICAS message FLIGHT CONTROLS you are still in Primary Mode?
Thanks
