Flaps/Slats (Even/Odd) Flashcards
How are the flaps and slats affected if only GREEN hydraulic system pressure available?
The flaps and slats will still operate, but at half speed
What system prevents flap or slat asymmetry?
Wing Tip Brakes (WTB)
If the WTBs activate due to a flap asymmetry, how are the slats affected?
The slats can still operate normally - only flap operation is inhibited.
What flap/slat configurations correspond to position 1 on the FLAPS lever
and how do they differ?
- CONF 1+F is used for takeoff and provides both slats (position 1) + flaps
- CONF 1 is used in-flight and is slats only
When will the Automatic Retraction System (ARS) operate?
During acceleration in CONF 1+F, the flaps (not slats) will automatically
retract to 0 at 210 knots.
What is ALPHA LOCK?
This function inhibits retracting slats from 1 to 0 at a high angle of attack and low airspeed.
What happens to the ailerons when the flaps are extended?
The ailerons droop
