Q

What happens if you get a RUDDER RATIO EICAS warning?

A

Left hydraulic system rudder actuator automatically depressurizes to provide structural protection for the rudder

(if hydraulic press normal):

  • 15 kts XWind limit
  • No Autoland
  • Avoid abrupt rudder inputs above 160 kts

Q

What powers the Rudder Ratio Changer?

A

L hyd

18
Q

What does UNSCHED STAB TRIM overhead light indicate?(3)

A
  • unscheduled stab trim movement
  • A/P trims opposite elevator control
  • manual trim in opposite direction of A/P trim
19
Q

Will flap asymmetry disconnect the A/T?

A

Yes, if > 19 deg difference between flaps and flap handle

20
Q

When is a 20 flap landing required? (4)

A
  • Eng inop
  • L or C Hyd failure
  • A/S unreliable
  • any alternate extension
21
Q

What is PES and when does it activate?

A

Pitch Enhancement System - hydraulic motor in R system uses L trim system fluid to operate Stab at 1/4 rate

auto activation if both L/C Hyd systems inop
(electric only, no alternate or auto trim)

22
Q

How many Rudder Ratio Changers and what is the power source?

A

one

L Hyd system

23
Q

How many Yaw Dampers and what is the power source?

A

two

L/C, any IRS

24
Q

How many Slats on each wing?

A

6

1 - inboard

5 - outboard

25
Q

What does STAB TRIM light (overhead lights) mean?

A

trim at 1/2 rate

26
Q

What does UNSCHED STAB TRIM light (overhead lights) mean?

A
  • runaway trim
  • A/P trims opposite to elevator control
  • manual trim opposite to A/P control
27
Q

What does SPOILERS light (overhead lights) mean?

A

one or more spoiler pairs inop

28
Q

What powers the elevators?

A

all three hydraulic systems

29
Q

Autopilot trims at what rate and why?

A

half the rate of manual trim because it uses only one of the two trim modules that is associated with the selected autopilot

(C AP uses L module/hydraulic system unless there is a L bus fault or trim module failure and then C AP auto switches to the R bus, R module, C hydraulic system)

30
Q

What happens if you use yoke trim switches with single autopilot engaged?

A

autopilot disconnects
