ASSIGNMENT 10 Textbook Assignment: “Fixed-Wing Flight Control Systems,” chapter 9, pages 9-1 through 9-59. 10-1. Pitch, yaw, and roll control of an aircraft are provided by what flight controls? 1. Primary 2. Backup 3. Secondary 4. Auxiliary 10-2. What type of flight control system is moved manually through a series of push-pull rods, cables, bell cranks, sectors, and idlers? 1. Mechanical (unboosted) 2. Mechanical (boosted) 3. Power-assisted 4. Power-boosted 10-3. Specifications for Navy aircraft require that the primary flight control surfaces be capable of being operated from what total number of separate hydraulic systems? 1. One 2. Two 3. Three 4. Four 10-4. An aircraft elevator control system has viscous dampers on the bobweight assemblies for what purpose? 1. To decrease control stick load 2. To reduce push-pull tube vibration 3. To retard control stick movement to prevent overcontrol 4. To help the pilot move the stick from the neutral position 10-5. To balance the forward and aft bobweights when an aircraft elevator is in a neutral position_l what component is installed between the bell crank structure? A load-feel bungee A push-pull tube, A truss assembly A load spring and the fin 10-6. In the “dirty” configuration, the horizontal stabilizer provides greater aircraft control at lower airspeeds by what means? 1. The stabilizer travel is increased to 24 degrees of leading edge down 2. The stabilizer travel is increased to 24 degrees of leading edge up 3. The leading edge down is reduced by 10 degrees 4. The leading edge up is reduced by 10 degrees 10-7. Horizontal stabilizer movement is controlled only by input signals from the AFCS system when it is functioning in what mode? Manual Series Parallel Independent 10-8. To provide longitudinal trim to the aircraft, an electric trim actuator is linked to the artificial-feel bungee in what manner? Electrically Mechanically Hydraulically Pneumatically 10-9. The approach power compensator system (APC) aids the pilot in what manner? 1. It regulates the position of the flap’s power mechanism during the approach for landing 2. It maintains a fixed angle of attack during landing to compensate for varying gross weight 3. It maintains a varying spoiler deflector position during landing to compensate for varying approach speeds 4. It regulates the throttle position to maintain the desired angle of attack during approaches and landings 48
