Which FD uses the trim motors?
No. 2
How can FD No. 1 use the trim motors?
Connected to No. 2 FD and asks it for imputs to the trim motors
Basic MODE:
VS
Vertical Speed Hold
0 - 2000 fpm. Above 50 KIAS
Basic mode:
ALTP
Altitude Pre-select
Can be armed at any time in flight or on the ground
Basic mode:
GA
Go Around
Goes to 70 KIAS, 750 fpm climb, engaged at any airspeed / HVR
- Also levels the attitude first and acts like a slow recovery mode

VOR / TCN
VOR / TACAN Navigation
Above 50 KIAS
If you press the cyclic trim beeper what will happen?
- Level wings
- Keep altitude
At speeds:
<60 - Hover deceleration
60-80 - Acelerates to 80 KIAS
80-120 - Keeps IAS stationary
120+ - Decelerates to 120 KIAS
Navigation mode:
LOC
ILS Localizer
Roll command
Above 50 KIAS (BC if not w/in 105 degrees)
Navigation mode:
GS
ILS Glideslope
Collective
Above 50 KIAS (ATLV @ 50 ft AGL)
Navigation mode:
DECL
ILS Deceleration
Pitch command to slow to 70 KIAS by 200 ft AGL, on glideslope
HVR DECL
Decelerate to Hover
From 60 KIAS or less at 1.5 – 3.5 kts/sec selectable by pilot (2.5 default)
Hover Mode:
HVR POSN
Hover Position Hold
Maintains GPS position over the ground
HVR VHLD
Velocity Hold Mode
Holds groundspeed up to 60 kts fwd, 20 aft, 20 lateral
What happens when you press the Collective trim beeper left or right?
<50 KIAS - Pedal turn (yaw)
>50 KIAS - Standard rate turn
What are the five Roll NAV sources?
FMS, VOR, TCN, LOC & BC
Once the GO ARND parameters of a wings level climb at 750 fpm and 70 KIAS has been achieved, what happens?
GO ARND disengages, then VS hold and IAS hold engage.
