What protection do you have in Normal Law?
|
- Load Factor Limitation (+2.5/-1)
- Pitch Attitude (30 degrees UP/15 degrees DN) - Bank Angle (67 degrees) - High Speed - High AOA (AOA Alpha Protection) |
|
How does the High Speed Protection operate?
|
If Vmo/Mmo plus a predetermined factor is exceeded, the system induces a pitch-up input to limit aircraft speed
|
|
Can the pilot override the auto pitch-up associated with High Speed Protection in Normal Law?
|
No
|
|
What is Alpha Max?
|
The maximum AOA allowed in Normal Law, indicated by the top of the red strip on the airspeed scale
|
|
How does High AOA Protection operate?
|
When the angle of attack exceeds alpha prot, pitch trim ceases and AOA is now proportional to sidestick deflection, not to exceed alpha max even with full aft sidestick deflection.
|
|
What protection do you have in Alternate Law?
|
- Load Factor Stability
- High speed stability (Nose up command) - Low speed stability (Nose down command) |
|
Can you override the high or low stabilities in Alternate Law?
|
Yes
|
|
What protections do you have in Direct Law?
|
None
|
|
If you are in Pitch Alternate Law, what law would Roll be?
|
Direct Law
|
|
When the landing gear is extended, what happens to Pitch Alternate Law?
|
Degrades to Pitch Direct Law
|
|
When is there a direct relationship between sidestick and flight control surface deflection?
|
- When in Normal Law Ground Mode
- When in Direct Law |
|
How would you get into Abnormal Attitude Law?
|
By exceeding approximately double the Normal Law limits
|
|
Can you stall the aircraft in Normal Law?
|
Not in Normal Law, but the aircraft CAN be stalled in other laws
|
|
What is the purpose of Abnormal Attitude Law?
|
Allows the aircraft to be recovered from an unusual attitude
|
|
After recovery from an unusual attitude, what law will you be in?
|
Abnormal Attitude Law
|
|
Will Abnormal Law revert to Direct Law on landing gear extension?
|
No
|
|
What PFD indications indicate Normal Law?
|
- Green "=": for pitch, bank, and overspeed limits
- Amber/Black (alpha prot) airspeed tape |
|
What is indicated if the PFD pitch and bank limits are amber Xs?
|
You are not in Normal Law
|
|
How is Direct Law indicated on the PFD?
|
Amber "XX"
"USE MAN PITCH TRIM" on top of PFD |
|
What would cause you to revert to another law?
|
Multiple failures of redundant systems
|
|
What law are you in when you perform the flight control check on the ground?
|
Normal Law, Ground Mode
|
|
Can the aircraft be flown with a loss of all flight control computers?
|
Yes, in Mechanical Backup
|
|
How is Mechanical Backup indicated on the PFD?
|
"MAN PITCH TRIM ONLY" on top of PFD
|
|
How is the airplane controlled in Mechanical Backup?
|
- PITCH: Trim Wheel (horizontal stabilizer)
- YAW: Rudder Pedals (Rudder) - SPEED: Thrust Levers |
|
When operating in Normal Law in Flight Mode, what does the side stick command for pitch and roll?
|
Pitch: G Load
Roll; Roll Rate |
|
In Normal Law, when descending through 50 feet on landing, the aircraft pitch is memorized. What happens when descending through 30 feet?
|
"Flare Mode"
Aircraft pitches down to make pilot flare. |
