Q

What is the purpose of the flaps load relief system?

A

Protects the flaps from excessive air loads if flap airspeed limits are exceeded with flaps 25 or 30 selected. (Works in Primary mode only)

18
Q

What does the EICAS advisory message FLAPS PRIMARY mean?

A

One or more flap groups operating in secondary control mode (FCOM 9.30.1)

19
Q

How are the flaps powered in the secondary control mode?

A

Electrically

20
Q

Which hydraulic systems power the trailing edge flaps?

A

1 and 4

21
Q

Which of the following is indicated by the EICAS caution message STAB TRIM UNSCHD?

A

Stab movement without trim signal

22
Q

What will happen when the stabilizer trim switches on the control wheels are actuated with multiple autopilots engaged?

A

Nothing - They are inhibited during autoland (Multiple A/P use) (Two actuators are used so stab moves at NORMAL TRIM rate)

23
Q

What occurs when the alternate stabilizer trim switches are used with any number of autopilots engaged?

A

Override A/P trim inputs but do not disengage A/P. Pilot is warned via a STAB TRIM UNSCHD caution msg.Will override the A/P input ()

24
Q

Which hydraulic systems power the stabilizer trim?

A

2 and 3

25
Q

What occurs when the stabilizer trim switches on the control wheel are actuated with a single autopilot engaged?

A

A/P is disengaged ()

26
Q

Which trim is affected by the control column cutoff function?

A

STAB Trim (FCOM 9.20.5)

27
Q

Hydraulic power for the elevators is provided by which hydraulic systems?

A

1,2,3,4……

Hyd 1 - Left outboard

Hyd 4 - Right outboard

Hyd 1&2 - Left inboard

Hyd 3&4 - Right inboard

28
Q

What stabilizer trim condition exists when both stabilizer trim cutout switches are in the cutout position?

A

Hydraulic power is shut off. ()

29
Q

Why are the outboard ailerons locked out?

A

To prevent overcontrolling at high airspeeds and provides the required roll authority at low airspeeds. (lock in neutral position at 238kts) (FCOM 9.20.7)

30
Q

What does the aileron trim indicator display?

A

Aileron Trim units (The trim deflects the control wheel in a desired direction, the indicator shows the amount of deflection)

31
Q

What is one of the required conditions for automatic speedbrake extension with the speedbrake lever in the ARM position?

A

Main gear on ground

Thrust levers 1 and 3 near idle (FCOM 9.20.11)

32
Q

Which statement is true when the EICAS advisory message SPEEDBRAKE AUTO is displayed?

A

Speedbrakes can still be operated manually

33
Q

How many spoiler panels are on each wing?

A

6 (similar to question 195)

34
Q

With the speedbrake lever in the armed position what does the EICAS message speedbrake auto mean?

A

Fault detected in automatic ground spoiler system that could result in an inadvertent spoiler extension (FCOM 9.30.1)

35
Q

When are the outboard ailerons locked out?

A

High airspeed ()

36
Q

What is the function of the RUDDER RATIO changers?

A

Limit deflection with increasing speed.

  1. Gradually reduce each rudder surface’s response to pedal inputs as airspeed increases.
  2. Protects the vertical tail structure from stresses which could result from large rudder surface deflections at high airspeeds (FCOM 9.20.9)
37
Q

What does the EICAS advisory message RUD RATIO SNGL mean?

A

Upper or lower rudder ratio changer fault detected (FCOM 9.30.1 Pg. 1195)

38
Q

What functions do the yaw damper systems provide?

A

Improve airplane lateral and directional stability and provide turn coordination. (FCOM 9.20.9)

39
Q

How many yaw damper systems are there?

A

2 systems ()

40
Q

What does the EICAS message YAW DAMPER LWR or UPPER mean?

A

Yaw damper failure or Power Failure (FCOM 9.30.2)

41
Q

What does the rudder trim indicator display?

A

Units of rudder trim (towards nose left or nose right) ()

42
Q

What does rotating the rudder trim knob do?

A

The rudder feel & trim mechanism repositions the rudder pedal neutral point.
