Flight Controls Flashcards
Which Hydraulic System(s) normally power the primary flight controls?
Redundant Systems A and B – either system can operate all the primary flight controls
(Sec 9.010 p 2)
The loss of Hydraulic Systems A and B will render which spoiler panels inoperative?
Loss of A and B will render all spoiler panels inoperative
Sec 9.010 p 3
How do ailerons and elevators operate with the loss of both Hydraulic Systems A and B?
With the loss of A and B ailerons and elevators are operated manually
(Sec 9.010 p 5)
What happens when the FLT CONTROL A switch is positioned to STBY RUD?
- Flight Control Shutoff Valve for system A closes
- A FLT CONTROL LOW PRESSURE, FLT CONT annunciator and MASTER CAUTION illuminate
- activates the Standby Hydraulic System
- opens the Standby Rudder Shutoff Valve
(Sec 9.010 p 5)
What powers the rudder during Manual Reversion?
Standby Hydraulic System
Sec 9.010 p 5
Which are the roll control surfaces and how are they powered?
Ailerons and Flight Spoilers
Hydraulically System A and B, cable drive system
(Sec 9.010 p 5)
What happens when a single AILERON trim switch is pushed?
Nothing, both must be pushed simultaneously to command trim changes
(Sec 9.010 p 7)
Why is aileron trim prohibited with the autopilot engaged?
Any aileron trim applied when the autopilot is engaged can result in an out of trim condition and an abrupt rolling movement when the autopilot is disconnected
(Sec 9.010 p 8)
How many degrees of control wheel displacement initiates spoiler deflection?
Approx 10 Deg (1.6 units)
Sec 9.010 p 8
Which Flight Control Switch(es) are used for maintenance purposes only?
The SPOILER switches are use for maintenance purposes only
Sec 9.010 p 9
With a jammed or restricted Spoiler System, how is roll controlled?
force applied to the captain’s control wheel actuates the Aileron Transfer Mechanism (117 lbs force) and provides roll control using the ailerons
(Sec 9.010 p 10)
With a jammed or restricted Aileron System, how is roll controlled?
force applied to the first officer’s control wheel actuates the Aileron Transfer Mechanism and provides roll with flight spoilers
(Sec 9.010 p 10)
What does an illuminated FEEL DIFF PRESS light (amber) indicate?
excessive differential pressure within the Elevator Feel Computer
(Sec 9.010 p 12)
How does actuating the Stabilizer Trim Switch on the control wheel affect autoflight?
automatically disengages the autopilot
Sec 9.010 p 16
What is the purpose of the STAB TRIM switch on the Aft Electronic Panel?
bypass the control column actuated Stabilizer Trim Cutout Switches
(Sec 9.010 p 17)
