Flashcards
Pitch Attitude Protection
Pitch Attitude Protection
A system that limits the aircraft's pitch attitude to a safe range (+30° and -15°) in emergencies to prevent hazardous situations arising from excessive pitch.
Load Factor Protection (LFP)
Load Factor Protection (LFP)
A feature within Pitch Attitude Protection that allows an immediate 2.5g maneuver without delay in emergency situations, aiding obstacle clearance.
Excessive Nose-Up Attitude
Excessive Nose-Up Attitude
A dangerous pitch attitude where the aircraft's nose is too high, leading to rapid energy loss.
Excessive Nose-Down Attitude
Excessive Nose-Down Attitude
