Q

How and when does mach trim system work?

A

Above mach .615 FCC use mach info from ADIRU to compute mach trim actuator Position. Mach trim actuator repositions elevator feel and centering unit which adjusts neutral control column position

16
Q

What does the ELev feel shift module do in case of impending stall?

A

Increases hyd press A to elev feel and centering unit. This will approx double control forces

17
Q

When is EFS inhibited

A

Ac on GND

RA less than 100ft

AP engaged

18
Q

What is main difference between stby rud PCU en main rud PCU

A

Main rud PCU has 2 input rods and control valves

STBY rud PCU has 1 input rod and control valve

19
Q

What is the difference on ridder on GND and in flt

A

When approx above 135kts hyd A and HYD B pressure are reducered by 25% by rudder PCU to limit rudder authority

20
Q

What happens of one rudder input is jammed?

A

Force flight monitor detects opposing pressure. It auto turns on stby rudder

21
Q

How many yaw dampers installed?

A

Main and stby

22
Q

What happens to roll with speedbrakes extended

A

It greatly increases roll Rate

23
Q

What are the conditions for speedbrake system to operate auto upon ldg

A

Lever armed

Armed light illuminated

RA less than 10ft

Weight on wheels (GND spoilers right main gear)

TL set idle

Wheel spin up (>60kts)

24
Q

What does happen on Fup ldg with spoilers

A

They go to flight detent

25
Q

Once lever not armed what are the conditions for auto speedbrake

A

Main gear spin up

Both TL idle

Reverse thrust selected

26
Q

What happens when thrust is advanced with speedbrakes ext

A

They retract

27
Q

When does flap load relief system operate

A

When left ADIRU (captains airspeed) is too high for selected flap setting

28
Q

When is flap load relief function active

A

F10-F40 with normal flap extension

29
Q

When does LE uncommanded motion occur

A

When no autoslat command or flap pos command is given and

2 slats move on 1 wing or 2 LE flaps move on 1 wing

30
Q

What can speed trim and mach trim fail indicate?

A

Failure of single FCC channel when light extinghuishes after recall is reset

31
Q

What can auto slat fail light indicate

A

Failure of SMYD when extinghuished with master caution reset

32
Q

What does speedbrake ext light indicate

A

In FLT speedbrake beyond armed and

TE > 10 or
RA < 800ft

on GND speedbrake lever in down and ground spoilers not stowed

With hyd A press less than 750PSI light wont work on GND

33
Q

What does speedbrake do not arm mean

A

Abnormal condition or test Inputs to auto speedbrake system or during landing Wheel speed below 60kts and lever not down
