A. 300 KIAS
B. 350 KIAS
C. 225 KIAS
D. Above 250 KIAS/0.55 M

28

A. Artificial feel, stall warning, maintain stall margin during icing, prevent stall with stick pusher
B. Stall warning, Artifi cial feel, auto hydraulic dump, stick pusher
C. Artifi cial feel, stall warning, maintain stall margin during icing, stick shaker
D. Auto hydraulic dump, stick pusher, stall warning, artificial feel

A

A. Artificial feel, stall warning, maintain stall margin during icing, prevent stall with stick pusher.

C. Stick shaker activates and disconnects the autopilot
D. Stick shaker activates only

A

C. Stick shaker activates and disconnects the autopilot.

30
Q

What message is displayed after a successful test of the SPQS?

A. SPQS Green
B. SPQS DONE
C. SPQS GOOD
D. SPQS TEST OK

A

D. SPQS TEST OK.

31
Q

Explain the “L A R E” acronym.

A

The aileron autopilot servo is on the left, and the elevator autopilot servo is on the right. This means that if an aileron jam is on the left side, the autopilot will be inoperative. Similarly, if an elevator jam is on the right side, the autopilot will be inoperative.

32
Q

With total hydraulic failure, can the crew disconnect the left and right ailerons using the ROLL disconnect handle?

A

No, the system is designed to prevent disconnection of the ailerons when there is complete hydraulic system failure.

33
Q

With total hydraulic failure, can the crew disconnect the left and right elevators using the PITCH” disconnect handle?

A

Yes.

34
Q

Is Mach trim available with the Auto Pilot OFF? With override trim?

A

Mach trim is available when the autopilot is OFF, but it is not available when the secondary pitch trim system is active.

35
Q

Does one control wheel pitch trim switch override the other?

A

Yes, the left side overrides the right.

36
Q

Which hydraulic system powers the inboard spoilers? Which powers the outboard spoilers?

A

The right hydraulic system powers the inboard (flight) airbrakes, and the left hydraulic system powers the outboard (ground) airbrakes.

37
Q

In the event of an engine failure what assists in rudder movement?

A

Bleed air from the operative engine.

38
Q

With total hydraulic failure, are the flaps and slats still operable? Kreugers?

A

The flaps and slats are electrically powered and are operative during hydraulic failure. The Kreuger flaps are hydraulically operated, so they would be inoperative during total hydraulic failure.

39
Q

With the flight airbrakes extended and hydraulic failure, what would happen to the airbrake panels?

A

They would “float” in the airstream.
