How many passengers and pallets can the C-40A hold in COMBI mode? | 69 passengers, 3 pallets |
How many passengers and pallets can the C-40A hold in CARGO mode? | 0 passengers, 8 pallets |
Explain what movements are made along the lateral, longitudinal and vertical axis and which surface accomplishes the movement. | PRY - P itch, R oll, Y aw LA LO VE - LA teral, LO ngitudinal, VE rtical EAR - E levators, A ilerons, R udders |
What is the purpose of the wings? | To provide lift and attachment points for flight control surfaces and engines. |
What is the purpose of winglets? | To provide the potential benefit of lowering operating costs by reducing fuel burn, improving payload capacity, and increasing range. |
What is the purpose of the two engine pylons? | They are the attachment structure connecting the engine to the wings, provide aerodynamic properties and protect engine related components. |
What is the purpose of the radome? | Provides aerodynamic properties and protection of electronics and radar components. |
How many doors/hatches are used for normal maintenance and egress purposes? | SIX (fwd passenger, fwd galley service, over wing-2, aft passenger, aft galley service) |
How many main access doors/hatches does the C-40A have? | FIVE (fwd cargo, aft cargo, APU access, fwd access, E/E compartment) |
Where are the air stairs located? | In the E/E compartment. |
Where are the two CONTROL COLUMNS located and what are they used for? | They are located in the cockpit and used to control the elevators. |
Where are the RUDDER PEDALS located and what are they used for? | They are located on the floor in the cockpit, fwd of the control column and are used for steering and yaw control. |
Up to how many degrees can the C-40A be steered with the rudder pedals? | seven degrees each side of center |
Where are the two AILERONS located and what are they used for? | They are located on the trailing edge of the outer wing. ROLL along the LONGITUDINAL axis. |
Where are the RUDDER located and what is it used for? | It is located on the trailing edge of the vertical stabilizer. YAW along the VERTICAL axis. |
Where are the ELEVATORS located and what are they used for? | They are located on the trailing edge of the horizontal stabilizer. PITCH along the LATERAL axis. |
Where are the Trim tabs located and what are they used for? | They are located on the trailing edges of the elevators, ailerons and rudder. They cause MINUTE CHANGES in the desired direction. |
Where are the two KRUEGER FLAPS (leading edge flaps) located and what are they used for? | They are located on the fwd wing, inbd of the engines. INCREASE LIFT and DECREASE STALL SPEED DURING TAKE-OFFS, LOW SPEED MANEUVERING AND LANDINGS. |
Where are the LEADING EDGE SLATS located and what are they used for? | They are located on the fwd wing, outbd of the engines. INCREASE LIFT and DECREASE STALL SPEED DURING TAKE-OFFS, LOW SPEED MANEUVERING AND LANDINGS. |
Where are the TRAILING EDGE FLAPS located and what are they used for? | They are located on the trailing edge of the mid and inner wings. INCREASE LIFT and DECREASE STALL SPEED DURING TAKE-OFFS, LOW |
Where are the FLIGHT SPOILERS located, how many are there and what are they used for? | (8) There is four flight spoilers (speed brakes) located on the upper surface of EACH wing. INCREASE DRAG and REDUCE LIFT, both in flight and on the ground. SUPPLEMENT ROLL. |
Where are the GROUND SPOILERS located, how many are there and what are they used for? | (4) There is TWO ground spoilers located outside of the flight spoilers on the upper surface of each wing. INCREASE DRAG, DECREASE SPEED on the ground. |
What is the primary purpose of the Landing gears? | To hold the airplane's weight when the airplane is on the ground. |
What is the primary purpose of the Landing Gear Struts? | To absorb landing forces. |
What is the purpose of the MLG? | To absorb landing forces, hold the airplane's weight and transmit the braking forces to the airplane structure. |
Which hydraulic system supplies power to retract and extend the landing gears and for nose wheel steering? | Hydraulic System A. |
What type of brakes are installed on a C-40A? | One multi-disk hydraulic powered brake per MLG. |
Can you apply the brakes separately? | Yes. |
What is the purpose of the nose landing gear doors? | To aerodynamically seal the nose landing gear wheel well to decrease drag. |
