Flight Controls

Question 1

How will the rotor discs react to a right pedal input?

Answer 1

the forward swashplate tilts right and the aft tilts left

Question 2

How will the rotor discs react to a right cyclic input?

Answer 2

tilts both rotor discs to the right

Question 3

How is the collective pitch in the forward and aft rotors affected when the cyclic is moved forward?

Answer 3

forward rotor disc pitch is decreased with an increase in the aft
DCP (Differential Collective Pitch)

Question 4

What control movements must be made for a hovering turn about:-

a. Center hook?
b. Forward rotor?
c. Aft rotor?

Answer 4

a. apply pedal input only
b. Pedal and cyclic movements in opposite directions
c. Pedal and cyclic movements in the same direction

Question 5

DAFCS
DASH
ILCA
CCDA
LVDT
CPT

Answer 5

digital advanced flight control system
Differential airspeed hold
Integrated lower control actuator
Cockpit control drive actuator
Linear variable differential transducer
Control position transducer

Question 6

What environmental flight condition shall be avoided when the thrust brake is inoperative?

Answer 6

do not enter forecast turbulence

Question 7

Which control axes have magnetic brakes that are released when the centering device release switch is pressed?

Answer 7

Pitch, roll, and yaw

Question 8

What is the function of the DAFCS extensible link portion of the ILCA?

Answer 8

So that the DAFCS can make inputs into the flight control system

Question 9

Pulling the cyclic aft increases pitch in the forward blades and decreases pitch in the aft blades, this is an example of?

Answer 9

differential collective pitch

Question 10

What component improves control feel by reducing control sensitivity?

Answer 10

viscous damper

Question 11

What is the preset tilt of the forward and aft transmissions?

Answer 11

forward: 9 degrees
Aft: 4 degrees

Question 12

What ILCA does not have an extensible link portion?

Answer 12

The thrust ILCA

Question 13

thrust CCDA components

Answer 13

mag brake, electric actuator, slip clutch

Question 14

What are the functions of the boost potion of the ILCA?

Answer 14

Hydraulic assist (1500 psi) Prevent feedback
provide hydraulic assist for cockpit control inputs, and prevents control feedback

Question 15

What is the function of the DAFCS extensible link portion of the ILCA?

Answer 15

Electric signals to mechanical inputs in the upper portion of the flight controls

Question 16

Should you slip the thrust brake during your controls check?

Answer 16

No

Question 17

What does the DASH actuator provide at greater than 40 knots?

Answer 17

Positive stick gradient
