22 Autoflight Flashcards
Which phases of flight does the flight guidance system provide computation for?
Climb, Cruise, Approach, Stabilize aircraft during automatic flight.
Fail passive is used to describe a system that?
Event of failure, causes no significant deviation of aircraft flight path or attitude.
Failt-soft is used to describe a system or subsystem where?
The failure of a single element, component or connection during any one flight is assumed.
The Flight guidance system has the following capabilities.
Fail passive inner loop control, cat1 and cat 2 approach, fail-soft flight guidance in cruise/non precision approach, fail passive pitch trim, fail passive yaw damper
The flight guidance system includes the following components.
FGC’s x2, Flight guidance panel, aileron elevator rudder elevator trim servo’s and mounts
The FGS is a dual system both pilot and copilot are identical and work together to drive what?
servos and pitch trim system.
Explain the operation of the FGS.
They operate as part of a pair to provide 3 axis autopilot/yaw damper, the computers internal amplifier provides drive signals to the servos for precise movement.
The flight guidance panel is arranged in a way that prevents?
Crew arm crossing.
What are your fundamental flight guidance panel zones?
Vertical control, speed control, lateral control, auto flight modes.
The yaw damper provides drive to the servo for?
dutch roll damping and turn corordination.
Where are the flight guidance computers located?
Inside the integrated avionics processor system cage (IAPS), in the left nose avionics rack.
What are your FGS servo locations?
Aileron = cabin center aisle floorboard fwd of aft spar, rudder servo = tail section, elevator = tail section.
The Flight guidance panel provides what and is located where?
Autopilot, pitch trim control, yaw damping, flight guidance, located center glareshield below annunciators.
What other flight systems are available for the aircraft?
Collins APS-65 - King KFC400
