Questions and Answers

What happens if the aircraft is above the flap placard speed when flap deployment is commanded?

  • The airspeed digits on the primary flight display turn red and an audible warning sounds, but the FECU still tries to deploy the flaps. (correct)
  • The airspeed digits on the primary flight display turn green and an audible warning sounds, but the FECU still tries to deploy the flaps.
  • The airspeed digits on the primary flight display turn green and an audible warning sounds, and the FECU does not try to deploy the flaps.
  • The airspeed digits on the primary flight display turn red and an audible warning sounds, and the FECU does not try to deploy the flaps.

    • What happens if the aircraft slows below the flap placard speed for that flap position?

  • The warning indications cease and the flaps extend to the selected position. (correct)
  • The warning indications cease and the flaps do not extend to the selected position.
  • The warning indications continue and the flaps do not extend to the selected position.
  • The warning indications continue and the flaps extend to the selected position.

    • What happens if the aircraft is sufficiently above flap placard speed?

  • The FECU shuts down the flap system.
  • The FECU tries to deploy the flaps regardless of airspeed.
  • The force limiters in the flap actuators do not trip, allowing flap motion.
  • The force limiters in the flap actuators trip, stopping flap motion. (correct)

    • What does the FECU do after the force limiters are tripped?
