AFCS Flashcards

1
Q

4 signals of the stabilator actuator inputs to the fcc’s

A

“CLAP” -think “nerves of the system”

  • Collective position transducers- (if collective goes up, stab goes down and vice versa).
  • Lateral accelerometers-
  • Airspeed x 2
  • Pitch rate gyros

Q

both FCC’s

A
  • provide self monitoring
  • fault isolation
  • failure alerts

Q

Outputs of stabilator

A

“SCALP”

  • Streamlines-downwash of main rotor during airspeeds <30kts.
  • Collective coupling (up of collective, down with stabilator and vise versa)
  • Angle of Incidence- decreases as A/S increases.
  • Lateral sideslip- left pedal-stab goes down; right pedal and stab goes up (like blinker) (has to do with induced flow to stabilator.
  • Pitch Rate- Pitch rate feedback. STABILATOR GOES OPPOSITE OF WHAT NOSE IS DOING (gyros control it)
20
Q

what speed range is stab down?

A

30-40kts
