Q

With a loss of number one hydraulic system pressure which of the following caution lights would you expect to illuminate ?

Study These Flashcards

23
Q

Can the auto pilot be engaged without a functioning yaw damper?

24
Q

The automatic flight control system operates servos to control the aircraft with the auto pilot engaged. Which control surface does not have a servo?

25
What is the maximum flap extension speed for flap 15 in the 300?
150 KT
26
What is the maximum flap operating altitude?
15,000 feet
27
In-flight, the spoiler 1 push off switch light illuminates what does this mean?
There is a jam in the inboard roll spoiler actuator linkage.
28
What is the maximum flap extension speed for flap 5 in a Dash 8 300?
163 KT
29
In the 300, deflection of the ailerons is assisted by what?
Geared tabs
30
In the event of a number 2 hydraulic system malfunction resulting in a total system pressure loss, which of the following maybe expected of the roll control system?
Illumination of the roll spoiler outboard hydraulic caution light when the indicated airspeed drops below 140 KT
31
A roll spoiler cable circuit jam, which cannot be overcome with a overpowering force, will require which of the following actions?
ROLL DISC handle pulled and turned 90°
32
If hydraulic pressure operating the flap power unit drops below 1500 psi which caution light will illuminate?
FLAP POWER
33
What function does the roll spoiler clutch assembly serve?
Prevents a jam in a roll spoiler actuator linkage from immobilising the whole roll spoiler control system.
34
Spoiler 1 illuminates for a jam In which actuator linkage?
Inboard roll spoilers.
35
How far do the spoilers extend under normal conditions?
75% of full travel
36
When is full roll spoiler travel available?
When the roll disc handle has been used
37
Maximum fore Rudder travel is What ?
16° left, and 18° right
38
Fore rudder travel limits with flaps zero?
12°
39
How much authority does the rudder trim have?
10° either side of centre
40
Rudder pressure regulation above 150 kn and below 150 kn ?
Below 150 kts Is 1500 psi above 150 kts is 900 psi
41
Should either rudder actuator fails what occurs?
The rudder pressure regulator automatically admits full hydraulic system pressure at 3000 PSI
42
What is used to provide data to the yaw damper system?
Accelerometers within the flight guidance computer provide yaw data
43
How far can the yaw damper move the rudder?
5° left or right of an existing rudder setting
44
VFE Flap 35?
138kts

The left elevator is controlled by fore and aft movement of the ?
of the pilot's | control column,
49
The control columns are | mounted at each end of a ?
Torque tube
50
Elevator trim is provided by | tabs on each surface located ?
outboard of the spring tabs.
51
A hydraulic rudder damper | restricts ?
rapid movement of the rudder from wind gusts while the aircraft is parked without hydraulic power.
52
Operation of the trigger | energises open the ?
``` the FPU Isolation Solenoid Valve for 70 seconds. The isolation solenoid valve admits hydraulic pressure to the FU and provides sufficient time to complete the positioning of the flaps. ```
