EMB 120 has how many rudders
2
The rudder system may be actuated by
Green and blue hydraulic system
Green or blue hydraulic system
Mechanically by a push rod
The hydraulic rudder system may be turned On or OFF by the pilot
True
During normal operation above 120 knots, what hydraulic system operates the rudder
Blue
If airspeed is above 120 knots and both hydraulic systems remain connected to the ruder, what cockpit indication will the pilot see
OVERBOOST
On the ground, the rudder is held securely in place with the gust lock
False
Rudder trim is
A hydraulic function
Ailerons are actuated by means of
A cable and rod assembly
The left aileron may be operated independently by disconnecting one from the other in case of a stuck or jammed aileron
True
With the disconnected system actuated, the left aileron jammed, and the autopilot engaged, the aircraft is controllable with autopilot
False
The autopilot servo is connected to
The left aileron actuator
With the disconnect system actuated, the copilot’s control wheel operates
The right aileron and right elevator
The elevator is actuated by means of
A cable and rod assembly
If the elevator is jammed and the disconnect system actuated and only the pilot’s side was free, the stall warning system would still be completely operational
False
Stick shaker and autopilot is on pilot’s side
Stick pusher on copilot’s side
Trim is available
Roll, pitch and yaw
The airplane is equipped with, how many flap panels per wing
Three
Flaps are actuated by
A hydraulic assembly
Flap setting positions are
0 and 15
15 and 25
25 and 45
The outboard pair of flaps is actuated by what hydraulic system
Green
An asymmetrical flap condition occurs when
Two flap panel in the same pair differ in position of more than 7°
A flap disagreement condition occurs when
One pair of flaps does not respond to a control signal
What method or indication does the pilot have to determine a flap position malfunction
View the analog flap position
View FLAP annunciator panel
What MAP light indicates that aileron or elevator disconnect was was actuated
CONTROL DISENG
Can you reset control disconnect in flight
No
What system controls both rudders
Hydraulic
If we loose both hydraulic systems do we still have ruder control
Yes trough feedback manual reversion
If we loose both hydraulic systems do we still have rudder trim
No, trim is a hydraulic function
OVERBOOST light
Green system did not disconnect above 120 knots
RUDDER SPEED SW
Disparity between airspeed indicators. Green system may have not disconnected above 120 knots
At airspeeds above 120 knots you loose blue hydraulic system. Will you have rudder control
Yes green system automatically turns on
If you take off without testing a stall warning system, do you still have stall protection
Yes
Can you test stall waring system in flight
No due to landing gear proximity switch logic
What does analog flap position depict
Average flap position
How many stall protection system does the aircraft have
2
When does the pusher disconnect automatically turns on
5 second delay during takeoff to prevent inadvertent push over
In curse below 153 knots (turns off above 173 knots)
At what degree in difference will a flap pair have an asymmetry
7 degrees
What side of the elevator system is AP on
Right side
What side of the elevator system is the pusher servo on
Left side
What side of the aileron system is AP on
Left side
