d) Left, center or right

Answer 6

B) Left

Question 7

767: Selection of flaps 1 commands the:
a) Slats to remain in the UP position and the flaps to move to position 1
b) Slats to move to the takeoff position and the flaps to remain retracted
c) Slats to move to the takeoff position and the flaps to move to position 1
d) Slats to move to position 1 and the the flaps to move to the takeoff position

Question 8

757: Selection of flaps 1 commands the:
a) Slats to move to position 1 and the flaps to move to the takeoff position
b) Slats to move to the takeoff position and the flaps to remain in the UP position
c) Slats to move to the takeoff position and the flaps to move to position 1 when signaled by the leading edge drive unit
d) Flaps to move to position 1 and the slats to move to the takeoff position when signaled by the trailing edge flap drive unit.

Answer 8

D) Flaps to move to position 1 and the slats to move to the takeoff position when signaled by the trailing edge flap drive unit.

Question 9

757: If the flaps 30 airspeed placard limit is exceeded, the flap load relief system will automatically have the flaps:
a) Move to position 25 until flap 30 speed is ok
b) Move to position 25 and remain there for the landing
c) Move to position 20 and will only return to position 25

b) Not stop until position 15 is reached
c) Stop at position 25 if 25 speed is ok
d) Do nothing, the flap load relief system only protects flaps 30 speed

Answer 10

A) Move to position 20 until the airplane speed is ok for 25 and 30
