15 Questions

What would happen if one of the elevator autopilot servos failed?

If one of the elevator autopilot servos failed, the other servo could still drive the movement of both controls due to the mechanical interconnect, allowing continuous operation.

How does the autopilot system interface with the flight controls?

The autopilot system interfaces with the flight controls through autopilot servo actuators that connect to the cockpit controls.

What is the purpose of the stall reference speed increase function?

The stall reference speed increase function helps prevent stalls by increasing the stall reference speed in certain situations.

What would happen if there was an autopilot trim fail condition?

In an autopilot trim fail condition, the pilots would need to manually trim the aircraft using the pitch trim switches/wheels.

How does the stall protection mode function on this aircraft?

The stall protection mode likely adjusts the stall reference speeds and may also provide stick shaker/pusher warnings or inputs to prevent exceeding the stall angle of attack.

Describe the purpose of the mechanical interconnect between the autopilot servo motors and the cockpit controls.

The mechanical interconnect allows either autopilot servo motor to drive the movement of both the aileron and elevator controls. This arrangement provides continuous operation if one side becomes jammed.

How does the autopilot system interface with the flight control system on this aircraft?

The autopilot interface to the flight control system is through autopilot servo actuators that connect to the cockpit controls. The autopilot inputs are supplied through electric servo motors that connect to the flight control mechanical input sectors.

What would happen if one of the elevator autopilot servos failed?

If one of the elevator autopilot servos failed, the other servo would still be able to move the controls, allowing continuous operation. The pilot would also be able to override the autopilot system by applying sufficient force to the control wheel.

Explain the purpose of the stall reference speed increase function on this aircraft.

The text does not provide any information about a stall reference speed increase function. This question cannot be answered based on the given information.

How does the autopilot system maintain pitch control on this aircraft?

The autopilot system maintains pitch control through the use of the elevator autopilot servos, which are connected to the cockpit controls. The servo motors directly move the control wheels to control the elevator surfaces and, consequently, the aircraft's pitch.

What is the purpose of the stall protection mode on this aircraft?

The text does not provide any information about a stall protection mode on this aircraft. This question cannot be answered based on the given information.

Describe how the autopilot system interfaces with the Automatic Flight Control System (AFCS) on this aircraft.

The pilot servo motor is controlled by AFCS No. 1 located in Modular Avionics Unit (MAU) No. 1, while the copilot servo motor is controlled by AFCS No. 2 in MAU No. 2. The AFCS systems provide the inputs to the autopilot servo motors to control the aircraft's flight.

What are the flight envelope limitations that the autopilot system must consider on this aircraft?

The text does not provide any information about the flight envelope limitations or how the autopilot system must consider them. This question cannot be answered based on the given information.

Explain the purpose of the autopilot trim fail condition on this aircraft.

The text does not mention anything about an autopilot trim fail condition. This question cannot be answered based on the given information.

How does the autopilot system prevent stalls on this aircraft?

The text does not provide any information about how the autopilot system prevents stalls on this aircraft. This question cannot be answered based on the given information.

Test your knowledge on identifying and responding to various flight control system warnings and failures. Learn about stall protection, trim adjustments, elevator failures, and flight envelope limitations.
