Q

How is the horizontal Stabilizer Trim normally powered? Is there an alternative way?

A

Single electric trim motor. Stab Trim Switches on the control wheel or autopilot trim or stabilizer trim wheels

17
Q

Through the use of the Alternate Flaps UP/DOWN switch, how are the Leading Edge Devices and Trailing Edge Flaps operated?

A

LEDs hydraulic, Single tap down of ALT flap switch, Trailing edge flaps electrical, continuous hold of switch until required position

18
Q

What is the purpose of the flap load relief system?

A

Protects the trailing edge flaps from excessive air loads @ flaps 10 or greater. Retracts the TE flaps one stage.

19
Q

What protections are provided during an alternate flap extension?

A

None

20
Q

What is the purpose of the LE FLAPS TRANSIT light on the main panel, below the Trailing Edge Flaps indicator?

A

Indicates any LED in transit or LED is not in the correct position with respect to the TE flaps (disagreement),

OR

An LED uncommanded motion, or during alternate flap extension until all LE devices are fully extended and the TE flaps reach flaps 10(flaps 15 SFP Option)

21
Q

How is the Standby Yaw Damper activated

A

FLT CONTROL switch A+B to STBY RUD. YAW DAMPER switch must be reset to ON.

22
Q

When will the SPEEDBRAKES EXTENDED light illuminate?

A

Flight: SPEED BRAKE lever beyond the ARMED position, and: TE Flaps greater than 10 or RA less than 800’

GND: Lever Down, Spoiler not Stowed

23
Q

What is the light logic on the Leading Edge Devices annunciator panel on the Aft Overhead?

A

Out: stowed
Amber: transit
Green: in commanded position

24
Q

How many degrees of control wheel displacement initiates spoiler deflection?

A

When the control wheel is displaced more than approximately 10 degrees

25
Q

What happens when a FLT CONTROL switch is positioned to STBY RUD?

A

It activates the Standby Hydraulic System and opens the Standby Rudder Shutoff Valve (allowing Standby Hydraulic System pressure to the Standby Rudder PCU).

26
Q

In the MAX, the rudder pressure will return to normal system operating pressure when:

A

An Engine Failure is detected or

With both engines operating airspeed is reduced below 132 knots

27
Q

In the MAX, a SPOILERS (amber) Light, indicates the Spoiler Control Electronic Unit has discovered what?

A

A Spoiler System Fault.
