Flight Controlls Flashcards
How many pitch trims are there
3 -
main electric
Autopilot (different input channel to main)
Manual
How is roll provided?
8 wing spoilers, ailerons
Control wheel jammed - aileron
FO’s control will work for spoilers
Control wheel - spoilers jammed how can you control
Captain uses control from ailerons
If only ailerons or spoilers work what happens to control
Will rate reduced - at least 10 degrees from FO to initiate spoiler movement
What speed does Mach trim operate
M0.615
Stab trim override switch
Allows for reverse trim
Stab trim cut out switches
Isolate the main and AP system to stop trim runaway
What hyds power the rudder
A B AND SBY
Primary flight control feel
Elevator - Q feel or artificial
Rudder and aileron - spring
LE devices at F5
Le slats - extended
Le flaps - fully extended
LE flaps F5+
Le flaps - fully extended
Le slats - fully extended
SFP aircraft identified by
W.1
SFP approach to ground idle time
2 seconds (normally 5)
Spoiler deployment SPF
All spoilers deploy to 60degrees
Non SFP - flt spoilers at 33-38 and gnd spoilers at 52
Flap load relief at what flap
SFP - 10-40
Non SFP - 30-40
Flap load relief how does it work
Flaps auto raise if speed limit exceeded (leaver doesn’t move but gauge shows change)
Flap load relief operating speeds
Auto retraction 1kt above auto re extension when 4kts below
Auto gnd spoiler conditions:
Hyd A
Spd brk leaver armed
Armed light Iluminated
<10 ft radalt
Right main gear hits gnd
Wheel spd/spin >60kts
Max flap alt
20,000ft
With spd brakes what happens to roll rate
Increased
Q feel -
Hyd a and b and dynamic pressure sensed by elevator and then vary control pressure to regulate feel
Stall management yaw damper?
Gives false q feel near stall to make it hard to pull back on controls
FEEL DIFF PRESSURE light
Comes on after 30’ seconds of diff pressure between A and B of over 25%
