Question 7

Will normal flap operation be available if the Bat Bus has failed?

Answer 7

No.

Question 8

Will normal flap operation be available if the Aux Bat is the only source of electrical power?

Answer 8

No.

Question 9

What will happen to the flaps if power to the flap control circuit is lost?

Answer 9

The flaps will automatically retract to the UP position.

Question 10

What effect does extending the speedbrake have on the pitch of the aircraft?

Answer 10

It causes the nose to pitch up, but this is reduced slightly by an automatic connection to the elevators. Note that if the power is not changed to compensate for the extra drag, the resultant deceleration will cause the aircraft to pitch down.

Question 11

Under which circumstances will the speedbrake automatically retract?

Answer 11

When T/O or LDG flap is selected.

When the throttle is moved to/ near to Max.
