Flight Controls Flashcards
Which flight control system is not available through manual reversion?
Rudder/Yaw control.
With the Speedbrake control in the DOWN position,
the auto-speedbrake system will deploy if THRUST levers are set to IDLE, thrust reverser are deployed, and main wheels are spinning at greater than 60 KTS.
The STANDBY hydraulic system will power
The rudder and leading edge devices.
In the ARMED position, the auto-speedbrake system will deploy all spoilers
Only when the right main gear strut is compressed.
Which secondary flight control surface is not powered by the hydraulic systems?
The Horizontal stabilizer
Roll control about the longitudinal axis is normally controlled in flight by
The ailerons and flight spoilers.
The MACH TRIM system
will drive the elevator torque tube through hydraulic power
A stabilizer trim setting of 3 indicates
A nose-down trim.
The deployment schedule of the flight spoilers in roll control is governed by
the spoiler mixer.
The SMYD computer controls
the yaw damper, stick shaker, and leading edge slats.
How many Hydraulic systems are required to power all primary flight control surfaces?
One
The AFCU provides trim indications
On the top of the flight crew controls (yokes).
Leading edge flaps are powered by
hydraulic system b
The FSEU
will drive leading edge devices to full extension and display trailing edge asymmetry on the cockpit main center panel.
What unit detects the need for standby hydraulic power to the rudder?
FFM
