41
Q

A flap overload valve avoids _____

A

A flap overload valve prevents flaps from being lowered at too high airspeed
Excessive structural load

42
Q

Low accumulator preload means what will happen?

A

Will cause the electric hydraulic pump to cycle too often

43
Q

What is used for o ring extrustion
