Section 15 - Flight Controls Flashcards
With the FLAP CONT circuit breaker tripped, what is the operational status of the flap systems?
Only the emergency flap system will be operative
With the MAN FLAP CONT circuit breaker tripped, what is the operational status of the flap systems?
Both normal and emergency flap systems will be inoperative
How would a flap asymmetry {split flap) condition affect any further effort to extend or retract the flaps?
Both normal and emergency flap systems will be inoperative
What does the red NO GROUND SPOILERS light on the center windshield post mean?
All the conditions of deployment have been met and the ground spoilers did not deploy
Which flight control{s) does the autopilot have authority over?
Aileron and elevator
What will occur if landing at a flap setting of 20° or less and the GPWS/FLAP OVERRIDE switch is not selected to ON?
The EGPWS will announce “TOO LOW FLAPS” and the ground spoilers will not deploy based upon wheel spin-up
If a touch and go landing is to be performed, the ground spoiler switch must be selected to what position?
OFF
What action should take place immediately in the event that the NO GROUND SPOILERS light illuminates after touchdown?
Extend the speed brakes manually
What will happen if the autopilot is selected ON with the pitch trim in the OFF position?
The pitch trim is automatically engaged
Which hydraulic systems can operate the flaps?
Combined, utility, and auxiliary
In flight, what do the flight spoilers do?
They operate in conjunction with the ailerons to improve roll response
How is the horizontal stabilizer powered?
Mechanically, through an interconnect with the flap drive motor
What precaution should be observed prior to engaging the gust lock?
Make sure that hydraulic system pressures are bled to 0 psi
How are the flaps set at 10° for the preflight walkaround?
Move the flaps using the auxiliary hydraulic pump
Where is the aileron trim tab located?
On the left aileron
What is indicated by an amber “SPEED BRAKE EXTENDED” CAS message?
The speed brakes are extended with the power levers above idle
How many speed brake panels are on the airplane?
6 total; 2 outboard, 1 inboard per wing
Can the stall barrier switch be selected OFF in flight?
Yes, however an operative stall barrier system must be ON during all flight operations unless it is malfunctioning
How high do the spoilers come up using the automatic ground spoiler deployment?
55 degrees
How high do the spoilers come up using only the speed brake handle to deploy the spoilers?
30 degrees
The VREF speed that is shown in the display controller is based upon what?
Flap handle position
What must be done in order to manually trim the elevator?
Turn the pitch trim switch OFF
What are the maximum speeds for 10°, 20°, & full flaps?
250 KCAS, 220 KCAS, & 170 KCAS (non-SP), 180 KCAS (SP)
What is the maximum altitude for operating flaps 39 °?
20,000 feet
What is the maximum altitude for operating flaps 10° or 20°?
45,000 feet
What precaution must be observed prior to pulling the flight power shutoff handle?
Retract the speed brakes to preclude the possibility of asymmetric spoiler panel blow-down
What conditions must be met in order for the ground spoilers to deploy?
- Power on the L MAIN DC bus
- Ground spoiler switch armed
- Both power levers at idle
- Both nutcrackers in the ground mode, or wheel spin-up
What does a blue “RUDDER LIMIT” CAS message indicate?
The rudder is displaced to its maximum travel for the conditions,
What does an amber “SNGL RUDDER LIMIT” CAS message indicate?
A failure of the dual load limiter (assuming combined and flight system pressures are normal). Avoid abnormal rudder deflection
What is the minimum speed with the yaw damper inoperative?
Maintain at least 220 KCAS above 18,000 feet
What is the limitation to observe with the mach trim inoperative?
MMo is reduced to 0. 75 MT
Can the aircraft be dispatched with one stall barrier system inoperative?
Yes, with reference to the MEL
Can the aircraft be dispatched with vortex generators or static wicks missing?
Yes, with reference to the CDL (AFM Appendix B)
What is the maximum fuel quantity permitted for takeoff with the yaw damper inoperative?
9,000 lbs
What are the limitations associated with the use of the speed brakes?
Speed brakes are not approved for extension with flaps at 39° or with landing gear extended
Can the aircraft be dispatched with the automatic ground spoilers inoperative?
Takeoff is permitted with the ground spoilers inoperative, provided anti-skid is operative and flaps 20° are used for takeoff
