Flight Controls and Hydraulics Flashcards
Where is the pedal adjust handle located?
On the outside of the instrument panel.
Which cockpit control has a telescoping (extend/retract) feature?
Co-pilot’s collective
Outputs from cockpit controls are carried by mechanical linkage through the pilot assist servos to the ____________________.
Mechanical Mixing Unit (MMU)
The MMU is designed to reduce __________________________.
Inherent Control Coupling.
Name the four mechanical mixes provided by the MMU.
Collective to Pitch, Collective to Roll, Collective to Yaw, and Yaw to Pitch.
How does the MMU minimize inherent control coupling?
By combining, summing, and coupling collective, pitch, and yaw inputs.
Why is Collective/Airspeed to Yaw mixing completely phased out when the airspeed is above 100 kts?
Due to the efficiency of the tail rotor and cambered fin.
What has happened if we get the TAIL ROTOR QUAD FAIL caution?
One or both of the tail rotor cables has failed.
If only one of the cables breaks, what kind of aircraft control do the pilots have?
Full aircraft control.
If both cables break how do the pilots control the yaw axis?
Airspeed dependent on the aircraft gross weight.
Moving the SERVO OFF switch from NORM to 1ST STG or 2ND STG will _________________________________.
Turn off that stage (1st or 2nd) of the three primary servos.
What prevents the two stages of the primary servos from being turned off simultaneously?
Electrical interlock
On which panel can you find both the TAIL SERVO and BACKUP HYD PUMP switches?
MISC SWITCH panel
What system will automatically shut off components if a leak is detected?
LDI
The fluid quantity switch on the hydraulic pump module activates the appropriate RSVR LOW caution which indicates ________________.
A loss of hydraulic fluid for that system (Leak) less than 60% of fluid remaining in the pump.
