ERJ 170 FLT Controls

Flight Control systems questions

QuestionAnswer
What is the only primary flight control that is not FBW (Fly-By-Wire)? • Ailerons
What is the difference between normal mode and direct mode? • There are no higher level functions available in direct mode
What are the higher level functions associated with pitch? • Gain on airspeed• Elevator thrust compensation• AOA limiting
What are the higher level functions associated with yaw? • Yaw damp• Turn coordination• Thrust asymmetry• Gain on airspeed – as airspeed increases, rudder deflection decreases
What is the priority for the trim system? • Back-up• Captain• First Officer• Autopilot
How is roll controlled? • Ailerons and multi-function spoilers (outer 3 spoilers on each wing)
How many multi-function spoilers are on each wing? What are their functions? • 5• 3 outboard spoilers are used to assist in roll control and for ground spoilers• 2 inboard spoilers are only used for ground spoilers
When will the speed brakes automatically close even if the lever shows deployed? • Flaps > 2• Airspeed < 180 kts• TLA > 70°
What is the flap/slat extension/retraction sequence? • Slats extend first• Flaps retract first
Will loss of airspeed data cause the flight controls to go into ‘DIRECT’ mode? YES
Can a FCM override pilot input? • No, the pilot always has supreme control
What happens to artificial feel if flight controls are disconnected? • Artificial feel is felt at ½ the normal load
How are the flight controls trimmed? • Roll & Yaw Ailerons and Rudder surface repositioned to a new ‘neutral position’• Pitch Horizontal Stabilizer
Will the multi-function spoilers function in ‘DIRECT’ mode? • Yes, for roll only and at a default fixed gain
Will the speed brakes / ground spoilers function in ‘DIRECT’ mode? NO
What happens to the flight control system when the RAT is the only AC power source? • Horizontal stab trim operates at ½ speed• Slat / flap system operates at ½ speed• Slat / flap position is limited to ‘3’ to allow adequate airspeed for the RAT

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:
