Flight Controls Atlas Flashcards
What flight controls comprise the primary flight controls? How are they operated?
Aileron, Rudder, elevator. They are operated hydraulically only (no manual reversion)
What flight controls comprise the secondary flight controls?
Spoilers
Stab trim
Flaps
Slats
Where are the primary FlightControl positions shown?
Status page on the EICAS
Where is the rudder trim indication located?
On the aft aisle stand
What does the rudder trim reposition?
Use of the rudder trim repositions the neutral point of the rudder and moved the rudder pedals
The right YAW damper requires inputs from what system for operation?
An IRU and the left hydraulic system
When will the RAT be automatically deployed?
If both engines fail above 80 kn
How can the RAT be retracted once it is released?
Once released it must be stored manually by maintenance personnel on the ground
What is the lowest airspeed that the RAT can provide adequate power to operate the flight controls?
130 knots
What systems are supplied hydraulic pressure by the RAT?
Flight controls through centre hydraulic pressure
Where is the aileron trim indicator located?
Pilots control column

What is the function of the flap load relief system on the B767–300?
If Flap speed placard limit is exceeded with the flaps in the 25 or 30 position, the flaps automatically retract to position 20
Which hydraulically powered rudder actuator is automatically depressurised when the RUDDER RATIO light is illuminated?
The left actuator
What does the stab trim light during trimming indicate?
Stabiliser trim is moving at half of the normal rate
If the speed brake lever is not armed for the spoiler deployment, what will the spoiler do on landing?
Only deploy automatically if reverse thrust is used
Which hydraulic systems power stabiliser trim?
