    The copilot’s elevator input system is connected to the

    • Outboard elevators

    • Inboard elevators

    • Upper rudder

    • Lower rudder

    Correct Answer
    A. Outboard elevators
    Explanation
    The copilot's elevator input system is connected to the outboard elevators. This means that the copilot has control over the outboard elevators, which are the elevators located on the outer edges of the aircraft's wings. This allows the copilot to adjust the pitch of the aircraft by moving the outboard elevators up or down. The inboard elevators, on the other hand, are located closer to the center of the aircraft and are controlled by the pilot. The upper and lower rudders are not connected to the copilot's elevator input system and are used for controlling the aircraft's yaw.

    Control of the aircraft in the yaw axis is accomplished by the

    • Elevators

    • Ailerons

    • Rudders

    • Spoilers

    Correct Answer
    A. Rudders
    Explanation
    The control of the aircraft in the yaw axis is achieved through the use of rudders. The rudders are located on the vertical stabilizer at the tail of the aircraft. By deflecting the rudders, the pilot can change the direction of the aircraft's nose left or right. This is important for maintaining stability and controlling the aircraft during turns or when dealing with crosswinds. The elevators control the aircraft's pitch, the ailerons control the roll, and the spoilers are used to decrease lift and increase drag.

    • In case of total hydraulic system failure

    • To limit the external wind forces from damaging the aircraft while it is parked.

    • To limit the external wind forces from damaging the aircraft while it is tied down.

    Correct Answer
    A. In case of total hydraulic system failure
    Explanation
    In case of total hydraulic system failure, some aircraft incorporate flight control systems that automatically revert to servo-tab control. This means that if the hydraulic system fails, the servo-tabs on the aircraft's control surfaces will take over and provide limited control to the pilot. This is important because without hydraulic power, the pilot would not be able to control the aircraft's movements effectively. The servo-tabs help to maintain some level of control and allow the pilot to safely maneuver the aircraft in such situations.

    Correct Answer
    A. Stalling.
    Explanation
    Electronic flight control computers can be programmed to prevent stalling, which is an undesirable and dangerous characteristic in an aircraft. Stalling occurs when the airflow over the wings is disrupted, causing a loss of lift and a sudden decrease in altitude. By detecting the conditions that lead to a stall, the flight control computers can automatically adjust the aircraft's control surfaces and engine power to prevent it from happening. This programming ensures that the aircraft remains within safe flight parameters and reduces the risk of accidents.

    The flight control set (FCS) uses one servo motor to move the ailerons and one to move the

    • Slats

    • Rudders

    • Spoilers

    • Elevators

    Correct Answer
    A. Elevators
    Explanation
    The flight control set (FCS) uses one servo motor to move the ailerons and one to move the elevators. The ailerons are control surfaces on the wings that help control the roll of the aircraft, while the elevators are control surfaces on the horizontal stabilizer that help control the pitch of the aircraft. The rudders are control surfaces on the vertical stabilizer that help control the yaw of the aircraft, and the spoilers are used to disrupt the airflow over the wings and reduce lift. Therefore, the correct answer is elevators.

    • Flight control set status/test panel

    • Flight control set control panel.

    • Flight control set controller.

    • Flight control set processor.

    Correct Answer
    A. Flight control set processor.
    Explanation
    In the flight control set (FCS) system, control surface movement from a neutral position produces a synchro electrical output signal. This signal needs to be processed in order to control the flight. The flight control set processor is responsible for processing this signal and translating it into appropriate control commands for the aircraft. The other options mentioned, such as the status/test panel, control panel, and controller, may have different functions within the FCS system but they do not specifically handle the processing of the synchro electrical output signal. Therefore, the flight control set processor is the correct answer.

    • Trim actuator

    • Jackscrew assembly.

    • Servo drum and bracket.

    • Linear variable differential transformer

    Correct Answer
    A. Linear variable differential transformer
    Explanation
    The flight control set (FCS) horizontal position sensor (HPS) uses a linear variable differential transformer (LVDT). An LVDT is a type of sensor that converts linear displacement into an electrical signal. It consists of a primary coil, a secondary coil, and a core that moves within the coils. As the core moves, it induces a voltage in the secondary coil that is proportional to the displacement. In the case of the FCS HPS, the LVDT is used to measure the position of the trim actuator jackscrew assembly, allowing for precise control of the aircraft's horizontal position.
