Depressing either control wheel master switch stops ( ) and ( ).
All trim motors and pitch trim bias
PTM 15-2
The elevators are moved by ( ).
a set of redundant cables that split in the burst zone.
PTM 15-4
The autopilot moves the elevator via ( ).
an autopilot pitch servo that clutches to the elevator cables.
PTM 15-4
Pulling the Elevator Disconnect Handle ( ).
electrically disengages the right and left elevator and mechanically de-clutches the left and right yoke in pitch.
PTM 15-4
Ailerons are moved via ( ).
control cables connected to the pilot and copilot yokes.
PTM 15-5
When the yoke is displaced more than ( ), wing spoilerons actuate to increase roll rate.
5°
PTM 15-8
Pulling the aileron disconnect handle ( ).
disconnects the pilot control yoke from the aileron cables.
PTM 15-8
With ailerons disconnected, roll control is ( ).
through the pilot control yoke only using spoilerons.
PTM 15-8
The autopilot moves the ailerons via ( ).
a servo that clutches to the aileron cables.
PTM 15-7
To trim the rudder, a rudder trim switch ( ) moves ( ).
electrically
a rudder trim tab.
PTM 15-10
To trim the aileron, an aileron trim switch on either control yoke ( ) moves an aileron trim tab on the ( ).
electrically
left aileron
PTM 15-8
To trim the elevator, an elevator trim switch on either control yoke electrically activates the ( ), which moves the ( ).
primary pitch trim motor
leading edge of the horizontal stabilizer.
PTM 15-12
The autopilot trims the aircraft in ( ) only, using the ( ) to move the ( ).
pitch
secondary pitch trim motor
leading edge of the horizontal stabilizer
( ) can be used by selecting SEC on Pitch Trim Switch.
Secondary pitch trim
PTM 15-15
In the event of an un-commanded pitch, roll, or yaw, the pilot should ( ).
depress and hold the Control Wheel Master Switch.
AFM 3-27
The checklist for un-commanded pitch, roll, or yaw is found ( ).
in the red section of the QRH.
QRH E-2
The checklist for flight control jam is found ( ).
in the red section of the QRH.
QRH E-2
In the event of a stick shaker or stall, the pilot should immediately ( ).
reduce the AOA and set thrust to TO or APR.
QRH E-38
If the ( ), or in the event of a failure of ( ), elevator control forces can be relieved when slowing down to configure by using ( ).
Horizontal stab jams
both Primary and Secondary Pitch Trim motors
Pitch trim bias
PTM 15-18
When the autopilot trims the pitch for more than 2-3 seconds, ( ).
an audible clacker sounds.
PTM 15-7
When the spoilers are ( ), they will always go to their full extension of 60°.
activated on the ground
PTM 15-28
If the ailerons are disconnected, will the spoilers continue to function as spoilers?
Yes
PTM 15-29
Is roll augmentation from the spoilers still available when the spoilers are fully exteneded?
Yes

The stick shaker activates ( ).
just prior to the wing stalling.
PTM 15-31
A satisfactory test of the flaps using the Rotary System Test knob is indicated by ( ).
the amber CAS messages FLAPS FAIL and FLAPS FAULT
PTM 15-25
