Flight Controls & Stall Protection Flashcards
What will happen if pitch trim is outside the green when the takeoff configuration button is pressed?
“NO TAKEOFF, TRIM”
How long are electric and hydraulic PBIT tests valid for?
50 hours
When does electric PBIT begin?
AC power is established
How long does the electric PBIT take to perform the test?
3 minutes
What mode are higher level flight control functions active?
Normal
When does hydraulic PBIT begin?
When all three hydraulic systems are pressurized
How long does the hydraulic PBIT test take?
1 minute
What flight control is NOT fly-by-wire?
Ailerons
Which trim is not automatically accomplished when the auto pilot is on?
Yaw trim
What is the max speed for flaps/slats 1?
230 KIAS
What system provides higher level functions to the flight controls?
FCM
Flight Control Module
When is the stick shaker activated?
When pitched to Pitch Limit Indicator (PLI)
Airspeed indicates in the Low Speed Awareness (LSA red region)
How is stall protection accomplished?
Stick shaker and AOA limiting
How can you interrupt hydraulic PBIT?
Move a flight control surface
Can you deploy ground spoilers manually?
No, they are deployed automatically after landing
When will speed brakes automatically stow in flight?
Thrust levers near TOGA
Flap 2 or greater
Airspeed is slower than 180 KIAS
How can you interrupt electric PBIT?
Turning on a hydraulic pump
What is the alternate mode for flight control if normal mode fails?
Direct mode.
What does direct mode bypass?
FCM
What are the primary flight controls?
Slats Flaps Spoilers (ground and multi function) Ailerons Stabilizer Elevator Rudder
What are the various ACEs?
P-ACE
SF-ACE
HS-ACE
S-ACE
What does P-ACE control?
Primary ACE
Elevator and rudder?
What does SF-ACE control?
Slats/Flaps
What does the S-ACE control?
Spoiler
Do we have aerodynamic trim?
No the hydraulics hold the flight controls in a neutral position
What flight controls are electric?
Slats and horizontal stab
What are the Higher Level Functions provided by the FCM?
Elevator control laws Auto-thrust compensation AOA limiting Rudder airspeed gain and stoke limit YD and TC via AFCS Rudder flight authority Roll spoiler scheduling with speed-breaks Configuration change compensation
