Flight controls Flashcards
What happens with aileron input?
Control Wheel connected to aileron PCU through aileron feel and centering unit
FO control Wheel is connected by cables to the spoiler PCU through the spoiler mixer
What does aileron trim do?
It electrically repositions the aileron feel and centering unit
What happens when aileron trim is used when using AP?
Autopilot overpowers trim but aileron can be out of trim upon disengagement of AP
When will the flight spoilers begin to rise in a turn?
When control Wheel is displaced by approx more than 10 degrees
How is stabilizer powered?
Electrically
How is elevator deflection achieved
By the use of PCU’s
How is elevator feel created?
Elevator pitot gives signal to elevator feel and centering unit which transfers the signal to the control columns
How and when does mach trim system work?
Above mach .615 FCC use mach info from ADIRU to compute mach trim actuator Position. Mach trim actuator repositions elevator feel and centering unit which adjusts neutral control column position
What modes do exist for stabilizer trim
High (trim) speed with Fext
low (trim) speed with Fret
What happens to trim of control column has opposing force
Trim will stop
What does STAB trim override switch do
It enables opposing control forces
What are the stabilizer bands
Main elec
Fext 0.05-14.5
Fret 3.95-14.5
Ap 0.05-14.5
Trim Wheel -0.20-16.9
What is the purpose of STS?
To return AirPlane with low gross weight, aft CG and high thrust to trimmed speed
When does STS operate?
100 KIAS - 0.6M with fadeout at 0.68M
10 sec after to
5 sec After trim release
Ap not engaged
Sensing of trim requirement
What does YD do at impending stall
Reduces yaw damper commanded movement
