SYS109 Flashcards
The ailerons control movement of the aircraft in the __________ axis
Longitudinal (Roll)
What are the parts of the aileron control system?
Left and Right Aileron
Bellcranks
Push-pull rods
Front and Rear Cockpit Control Sticks
The elevator controls aircraft movement around the lateral or pitch axis. (T/F)?
True
What is the purpose of the bobweight located on the forward control stick?
Enhances control feedback and helps prevent overstressing of the airframe
The rudder controls aircraft movement around the ________ axis.
Vertical (Yaw)
Rudder pedal position is adjusted with a hand crank located on the
lower portion of the center console
Which flight control electromechanical trim system(s) utilize movement of the actual primary control surface?
Ailerons
In the event of conflicting aileron or elevator trim inputs from the front and rear cockpit, the front cockpit input will take priority. (T/F)?
False, the rear cockpit has priority.
Visual indication of pitch, roll, and yaw trim can be found on the
trim position indicators located on both trim panels
A primary purpose of the TAD system is to assist the pilot
in maintaining directional trim
The TAD computes input to the rudder trim system based on
Engine torque
Airspeed
Altitude
Pitch rate
In addition to the TRIM OFF annunciator, actuating the trim interrupt button will also illuminate the __________ annunciator light.
TAD OFF
What control surfaces are locked when the gust lock is engaged?
Ailerons
Rudder
Elevator
The primary aircraft flight controls consist of the
Ailerons
Rudder
Elevator
Which of the following best describes the function of the aircraft’s elevator?
The elevator system is used to cause movement in the pitch (lateral) axis.
The aileron ground adjustable trim tabs are for maintenance use only and should not be tampered with by the aircrew. (T/F)?
True, only maintenance personnel should operate the ground adjustable trim tabs.
What best describes the purpose of the bobweight attached to the forward control stick?
Provides higher stick forces as G-loading increases, helps prevent overstressing the airframe.
Which of the following is not included in the rudder control system? Centering springs, cables, bell crank, bobweight
The bobweight
Pilot control of aileron trim is accomplished by movement of an electromechanical trim tab installed on the right aileron. (T/F)?
False, this is the control of the elevator trim tab.
The Trim Aid Device (TAD) computer relays trim input to the
rudder trim tab actuator
The TAD maintains a takeoff trim setting until __________ KIAS and no weight on the wheels.
80
A green TAD OFF annunciator will illuminate when
The TRIM AID switch is set to OFF
The flight control gust lock is used to
lock the primary flight control surfaces when parked.
