Q

How are the ailerons, elevators and rudder actuated?

A 
Yoke and pedals operate a
system of cables and pulleys
that connect to pull and push
rods at the flight control
which operate a hydraulic
PCU (power control unit)
which hydraulically actuates
the control surface

Q

What is the purpose of the Multifunction Spoilers (MFS)?

A

To assist with roll control and serve as a spoiler

in flight and on landing.

21
Q

How are the MFSs controlled when used for roll assistance?

A

The FO’s yoke position sends an electrical signal
to the left MFS panels which are hydraulically operated by PCUs.

The CA’s yoke position sends an electrical signal to the right MFS panels which are hydraulically operated by PCUs.

22
Q

What is the flight deck indication of a jammed aileron cable?

A

Both yokes will be jammed

23
Q

What happens after the ROLL DISC handle is pulled?

A

The aileron cable and pulley systems are disconnected
through torque tubes.

20 seconds later, if the operable side has not been selected, the amber ROL SEL switchlight illuminates

24
Q

How is the operable side selected?

A

By pushing the ROL SEL/PLT ROL switchlight on the unjammed side.

25
Q

What does pushing the ROL SEL/PLT ROL switchlight accomplish?

A

Allows the pilot with the operable aileron to control

the on-side MFS panels

26
Q

What is the flight deck indication of an aileron PCU runaway?

A

Aircraft begins an uncommanded roll and the PLT SEL switchlight on the side without the PCU runaway illuminates automatically because of the bungee break-out signal.

27
Q

What is occurring when the pilots trim the ailerons or rudder?

A

The control surface is being repositioned.

There are no trim tabs

28
Q

What panels are part of the GND LIFT dumping system?

A

Inboard and outboard
ground spoilers, all 4
MFS panels.

29
Q

How are the flight controls gust locked?

A

Hydraulic fluid is trapped during shutdown

30
Q

How is the Yaw Damper engaged?

A

YD1 and YD2 engage switch lights on the

center pedestal

31
Q

How is the Yaw Damper disengaged?

A

DISC button on the center pedestal.

32
Q

What controls the yaw damper?

A

The flight control computer

33
Q

Is it necessary to disconnect the Yaw Damper on landing?

A

No

34
Q

How are the flaps operated?

A

Electrically.

35
Q

How many flap segments does the CRJ have?

A

4 total

2 on each wing

36
Q

Is there any asymmetrical protection within the flaps?

A

Yes, if the flap segments differ by > 5 degrees,

the brakes are applied and the flaps will remain at
the current position.

37
Q

How is STAB TRIM operated?

A

Electrically.

A split switch on the control yoke operates
two motors and a jack screw changing the horizontal
stabilizer angle of incidence

38
Q

What systems can operate the STAB TRIM?

A

CA’s trim switches,

FO’s trim switches,

autopilot and MACH trim

39
Q

What is the priority for STAB TRIM control?

A

CA
FO
Autopilot
MACH trim

40
Q

How is the main landing gear held in the up and down position?

A

Mechanical up and down locks

41
Q

How is the nose gear held in the up and down position?

A

Over center mechanism.

42
Q

Do the forward nose gear doors remain open after a normal extension?

A

Yes

43
Q

How are the nose gear doors actuated?

A

Mechanically

44
Q

What is the purpose of the brushes on the main wheel wells?

A

Aerodynamic seal

45
Q

Where do you look to determine the position of the landing gear?

A

EICAS primary page

46
Q

Which component monitors the position of up locks, down locks, and gear door position and WOW sensors?

A

PSEU (proximity sensing electronic unit)

47
Q

Which component ensures that the gear handle cannot be moved to the UP position on the ground?

A

Down-lock solenoid

48
Q

Which hydraulic system operates the inboard brakes?

A

system #3

49
Q

Which hydraulic system operates the outboard brakes?

A

system #2

50
Q

When does the Anti-skid operate?

A

wheel spin up ≥ 35 kts
or
weight-on-wheels plus 5 seconds

51
Q

What is the nose wheel steering degree of travel limits with nose wheel steering ON?

A

8° either side of center for rudder pedals,
80° either side
of center for tiller

52
Q

At what speed does anti-skid control stop operating?

A

Wheel speed ≤ 10 knots
