Flight Controls

Question 1

AILERON DROOP activated at?

Answer 1

FLAPS 5. Visible on STATUS PAGE

Question 2

4 Modes of STAB TRIM CONTROL?

Answer 2

1. NORM ELEC
2. ALTN
3. AUTOPILOT
4. PES (Pitch Enhancement System)

Question 3

Describe Primary STAB TRIM SYS?

Answer 3

• Dual Electric Signals
• Controlled via both switches on yoke
• Full Rate/Wide Range
• Will disconnect single autopilot

Question 4

Are both NORM ELEC STAB TRIM switches (on yoke) required to move the stabilizer?

Answer 4

YES

^{<em>*moving only one applies HYD PWR but does not release brakes. Both must be used and used in the same direction.</em>}

Question 5

NORM STAB TRIM use w/AUTOPILOTS engaged?

Answer 5

Use during single AP operation will cause AP to disconnect.

Use during multiple AP operation (during approach) is inhibited.

Question 6

What happens if control column is moved in opposite direction of activated STAB TRIM switches?

Answer 6

STAB TRIM will be interrupted.

^{<em>*feature can be used to quickly arrest STAB TRIM RUNAWAY</em>}

Question 7

Describe the ALTN STAB TRIM system

Answer 7

• Serves as backup to STAB TRIM
• Also uses ELEC PWR at full rate
• Provides increased range of input
• Overrides ALL OTHER STAB TRIM inputs!
• Moving both switches control both trim modules
• Will NOT disconnect any AutoPilot
  
  • UNSCHED STAB TRIM ANNUNC

Question 8

Describe AUTOPILOT STAB TRIM mode?

Answer 8

AP provides automatic STAB TRIM

Uses only one trim control at half electric trim rate

Question 9

Describe PES mode?

Answer 9

Provides limited STAB TRIM with failure of L + C HYD SYS in flight by using R HYD SYS to drive STAB using trapped L trim system fluid.

• Activates automatically using R HYD SYS
• STAB TRIM avail at 1/4 rate
• Operated by normal column switches
• ALTN + AP TRIM INOP

Question 10

UNSCHED STAB TRIM panel light indicates?

Answer 10

• Uncommanded STAB TRIM operation
• ALTN STAB engaged while A/P engaged
• STAB moving in direction opposite of elevator

^{<em>*only ANNUNC on </em><em>panel</em><em> that generates MASTER CAUTION. All others are ADVISORY</em>}

Question 11

STAB TRIM overhead panel light?

Answer 11

STAB TRIM is operating at half rate in NORM MODE. Brake failed to release.

Question 12

If both STAB TRIM CUTOUT switches are activated, is STAB TRIM still available?

Answer 12

NO

Question 13

AIL LOCKOUT speed range?

Answer 13

250KTS - 280KTS

Question 14

SPD BRK actuation GND vs FLT?

Answer 14

GND = ALL 12

FLT = 10

Question 15

SPD BRK auto-deploy when ARMED?

Answer 15

• ON GND
• TL IDLE

Question 16

SPD BRK auto-deploy when DOWN?

Answer 16

TL to IDLE

Single TR to INTERLOCK

Question 17

SPEED BRAKES to AUTO DOWN?

Answer 17

TL Advance

Question 18

SPOILERS panel light?

Answer 18

One or more spoiler pairs is INOP

Question 19

AUTO SPDBRK panel light?

Answer 19

• Auto Arm System Fault
• Do not ARM
  
  • They may deploy in flight
  • They may not deploy upon landing

Question 20

SPEED BRAKES panel light + SPEEDBRAKES EXT EICAS?

Answer 20

SPEEDBRAKES extended w/

• FLAPS 25 or 30

or

• AC below 800’

Question 21

YAW DAMPER INOP

Answer 21

1. HYD SYS FAIL
2. ELEC SYS FAIL
3. IRS NOT ALIGNED (only 1 IRU required)

Question 22

RUDDER RATIO panel light?

Answer 22

• SYS FAIL

The L HYD SYS rudder actuator depressurized

• Rudder displacement limited at high airspeeds
  
  • Abrupt rudder inputs should be avoided
• Full rudder displacement available at low airspeeds

Question 23

TEF/LEF per selected handle position?

Answer 23

UP = UP

FLAPS 1:

• FLAPS UP
• SLATS MID

FLAPS 5 - FLAPS 15 - FLAPS 20

• FLAPS SET (AILERON DROOP)
• SLATS STILL MID

FLAPS 25 - FLAPS 30

• LAND FLAPS SET
• LAND SLATS SET

Question 24

PRIMARY FLAP Protections?

Answer 24

• LOAD RELIEF
• TEF/LEF ASYM

Question 25

LEADING EDGE Panel light?

Answer 25

* LEF DISAGREE * not driving towards new commanded position * most likely handle not in detent * LEF ASYM * HYD PWR automatically cut OFF to both LEF/TEF

Question 26

TRAILING EDGE Panel light?

Answer 26

* TEF DISAGREE * not driving towards new commanded position * most likely handle not in detent * TEF ASYM * HYD PWR automatically cut OFF to both TEF/LEF

Question 27

ALTN FLAPS max extension?

Answer 27

FLAPS 20 ONLY ^{*Go Around for FL25/30 would take too long}

Question 28

ALTN FLAP SYS does what?

Answer 28

1. SHUTS OFF HYD POWER 2. ENGAGES ELEC FLAP MOTORS 3. ARMS ALTN FLAPS SWITCH 4. DE-ENERGIZES FLAP HANDLE ^{*no LOAD RELIEF or ASYM protections}

Question 29

Flap Handle Warning generated when?

Answer 29

Handle not in detent for more than 25 seconds TE FLAP + LE FLAP DISAGREE will ILLUME
