Q

Ailerons
• One aileron and 2 roll-control spoilers
o Pilot wheel – aileron
o Copilot wheel – roll spoilers
• Aileron feel – bungee, positive centrering
• Hydraulic actuation – PCU
• If only 1 PCU – lower ratio (AILERON RATIO LOW white CAS)
• No PCU powered – mechanical operation
• Electrical trim acts on bungee system
• Low ratio +/- 8
• High ratio +/- 15
