Refer to chart in study guide
What is the flap position in degrees for each of the following flap lever positions?
1,2,3,FULL
1: 8
2: 26
3: 26
FULL: 35
Which functions are controlled through the following units?
FCE 1
FCE 2
FCE 1: Flaps, Backup Trim
FCE 2: Manual Trim, Automatic Trim, Speed Brake Configuration Trim, Multi-Function Spoilers
Regarding design, how is pitch trim force accomplished?
An electric motor driven actuator moves the horizontal stabilizer angle of incidence.
What is the maximum duration of trim (all 3 axes) prior to cutout?
3 seconds
Which axis of trim generates an aural alert when command exceeds 3 seconds?
Pitch trim only
How are pitch trim commands normally issued with the autopilot disengaged?
The spring-loaded control wheel pitch trim switch commands the Flight Control Electronics (FCE) 2, which in turn commands the Pitch Trim Actuator (PTA).
How are pitch trim commands normally issued with the autopilot engaged?
The Automated Flight Control System commands the Flight Control Electronics (FCE) 2, which in turn commands the Pitch Trim Actuator (PTA).
How are pitch trim commands issued with PITCH BKP MODE switch in the BKP position?
The spring-loaded PITCH BKP DN/UP trim switch commands the Flight Control Electronics (FCE) 1, which in turn commands the Pitch Trim Actuator (PTA).
Is the autopilot available with the PITCH BKP MODE switch in the BKP position?
No
How are roll trim commands issued?
The spring-loaded ROLL trim knob commands the Trim Actuator Controller (TAC).
How are yaw trim commands issued?
The spring-loaded YAW trim switch commands the Trim Actuator Controller (TAC).
Which axis of trim commands are issued through the Flight Control Electronics (FCE)?
Pitch only
How does the automatic pitch trim (AP on) avoid the 3 second cutout and alert?
Automatic pitch trim limits its own continuous input to less than 3 seconds.
Is pitch trim motion rate a function of airspeed in both Normal and Backup modes?
Yes, in both Normal and Backup, the higher the airspeed – the lower the trim rate, and vice versa.
Are roll and yaw trim rate a function of airspeed?
No, roll and yaw trim operate at a fixed rate.
What are the 3 functions of the Multi-Function Spoilers?
- Roll Spoiler
- Ground Spoiler
- Speed Brake
What criteria must be met for the Multi-Function Spoilers to deploy or remain deployed with the SPEED BRAKE switch in the OPEN position?
- Flaps UP
- Thrust Lever below MAX CRZ
- Airspeed > 125 Knots
What criteria must be met for the Ground Spoilers to arm with weight on wheels?
Wheel speed above 50 knots
What criteria must be met for the Ground Spoilers to arm with weight off wheels?
WoffW > 10 sec
When armed, what criteria must be met for the Ground Spoilers to deploy?
- Both thrust levers less than 24° (halfway between IDLE and CRZ)
- Weight on wheels OR Wheel speed > 50 knots
Below what wheel speed are the Ground Spoilers disarmed?
45 knots
Do the Ground Spoilers retract in the event of a bouncing touchdown?
No, the Ground Spoilers remain deployed for 10 seconds following weight off wheels, unless the thrust levers are advanced above 24°.
Do the Ground Spoilers retract automatically in the event of a touch-and-go maneuver?
Yes, the panels retract if any thrust lever is advanced above 24°.
What is the cockpit indication of Speed Brake or Ground Spoiler function?
SPDBRK or GND SPLR annunciation in SPOILER box (left portion of MFD)
What is the flap motion rate?
1 degree per sec
What criteria must be met for Spring Loaded Rudder Booster (SLRB) activation?
FADEC detects thrust asymmetry (500 lb)
Which component commands the Spring Loaded Rudder Booster (SLRB) activation?
FADEC
Describe the function of the Spring Loaded Rudder Booster (SLRB).
When activated, a hydraulic actuator extends two springs, providing force to assist the pilot in moving the rudder to its limit.
Describe the operation of the Gust Lock.
Aileron/Elevator:
Rudder:
- Aileron/Elevator: Locked mechanically through control wheel pin
- Rudder: Locked electro-mechanically through actuator, solenoids activated by control wheel pin
What is the electrical power source for the rudder lock?
Hot Bus 2
