Q

What is the function of E-PBIT? How is the test performed and how long is it good for?

A

Test all the electrical components of the fly-by-wire system. Automatically when the airplane is powered up. Takes 3 minutes. Good for 50 hours, running while powered on.

Q

What are the flight control modes?

A

NORMAL- FCMs provide high level functions (ex AOA limiting)

DIRECT- FCM is bypassed and high level functions are not available.

Q

When would we ever touch the flight control mode buttons?

A

As directed by the QRH

19
Q

What do the Stall Waring buttons allow?

A

Stick Shaker cutout

20
Q

With the Elevators in NORMAL mode, what higher level functions will be active?

A

AOA, limiting with elevator offset
Thrust compensation
Elevator control law scheduling with airspeed
Configuration change compensation

21
Q

With the Rudder in NORMAL mode, what higher level functions will be active?

A

Rudder flight authority

Yaw damper and turn coordination via AFCS

22
Q

With the Spoilers in NORMAL mode, what higher level functions will be active?

A

Roll spoiler scheduling

Ground spoiler automatic deployment and stowed if thrust added for a go-around.

23
Q

When will the stick shaker activate?

A

When pitched to the PLI, or pitch limit indicators.

When airspeed reaches LSA, or low speed awareness.

24
Q

What is the ACE? What does it do?

A

Actuator Control Electronics, connects the control column electronically to the control surface, providing direct analogue control.

25
Q

What is the FCM? What does it do?

A

Flight Control Module, provide software based assistance to the ACEs. Provides higher level functioning in NORMAL mode.

26
Q

What is the PCU? What does it do?

A

Power Control Unit, hydraulically actuate the control surfaces.

27
Q

What is the purpose of the MF Spoilers?

A

The Multifunction spoiler with FCM deflect to assist in roll control.

28
Q

What doe the trim switch control?

A

The horizontal stabilizer.

29
Q

What is the limit of manual trim?

A

After 3 seconds, an aural “TRIM” is announced.

If half of the switch is actuated for more than 7 seconds it is disabled.

30
Q

What happens if both pilots attempt to trim at the same time?

A

The Captain trim switch has priority.

31
Q

How do we disconnect the TRIM with the AP/TRIM DISC button?

A

Press and Hold, to disable both pitch trim channels

32
Q

Can we control the inner two spoilers with the speed brake lever?

A

No

33
Q

When will the speed brakes automatically retract?

A

Airspeed slower than 180kts
Thrust near TOGA (70°)
Flaps greater than 2

34
Q

When will ground spoilers deploy?

A

Automatically on landing, if spoilers are in Normal mode.

35
Q

What is the stabilizer trim priority?

A

Back Up switches
Captain
First Officer
FCM

36
Q

If the auto pilot is on is yaw trim done automatically?

A

No

37
Q

What do the pitch trim cutout buttons do? When would we use them?

A

Disables the respective channel, in the event of a runaway.

38
Q

What are the slat/flap settings?

A

1, 2, 3, 4, 5

39
Q

What are possible takeoff slat/flap settings?

A

1, 2, or 4

40
Q

What are possible slat/flap settings?

A

5 orFULL

41
Q

What are the slat/flap speed limitations?

A
1 - 230kts
2 - 215kts
3 - 200kts
4 or 5 - 180kts
FULL - 165 kts
42
Q

What happens when aileron disconnect is pulled?

A

The ailerons are disconnected from one another.

43
Q

What happens when elevator disconnect is pulled?

A

The elevators are disconnected from one another.
