- 60 degrees
- primary stops In the aileron control modules
- secondary mechanical stops in control wheel set at 65 degrees
What does the feel and centering unit do in the control system?
- Provides artificial feel to the pilot
- returns the control wheel to the neutral position

> 15lb force
What is the aileron control override pushrod breakout force?
15-18 lbs of force
How does the FCC command the aileron/elevator positions in the event of the control wheel/control column jam?
Average of the two inputs
When the control wheels are offset from each other, what amber CAS message is generated?
ROLL CONTROL MISCOMPARE
What do the aileron and elevator dampers do?
- Minimises control wheel and column oscillations
- provides artificial feel proportional to control input
Where are the roll autopilot servos?
Left of the control modules
Where are the autopilot pitch servos?
Right side of the control modules
At what force does the elevator force sensor disconnect the AP?
> 25 lbs force
What is the the elevator control override pushrod breakout force? (Mechanical jam)
40-48 lbs of force
Is reset of the override pushrods automatic?
Yes
What do stick shaker motors provide?
indication of impending stall condition (AOA limiting)
How many stick shaker motors are installed?
Two - one on each control column
Which FCC controls which stick shakers?
Onside (FCC1 to stick shaker 1)
At what AOA will stick shakers activate?
0.85 max AOA
Where is the rudder CMA located?
Behind the #2 and #3 DU’s
How many inches of rudder pedal adjustment do you have?
8 inches
Do the pilots force sensor pushrods disconnect AP?
No, purely report to FCC
Does the AP system have interaction with the yaw system?
No, no yaw servos
