This system helps to adjust the aircraft's control surfaces to maintain a desired attitude and reduce the pilot's workload. By making small adjustments to the trim, the aircraft can counteract any imbalances or external factors that may cause it to roll off course, ensuring a more stable and controlled flight.Rate this question:

(424) What component improves stick feel characteristics and reduces undersirable structural coupling oscillations?
- A.
Roll damper
- B.
Yaw damper
- C.
Load fee control assemble
Correct Answer
A. Roll damperExplanation
The roll damper is the component that improves stick feel characteristics and reduces undesirable structural coupling oscillations. The roll damper helps to stabilize the aircraft during roll movements and reduces the effects of structural vibrations or oscillations that can occur during flight. By dampening these oscillations, the roll damper improves the overall feel and control of the aircraft, providing a smoother and more stable flying experience.Rate this question:

(424) What surface is used to augment the ailerons to achieve the roll rate commanded either by the pilot or copilot?
- A.
Elevator
- B.
Rudder
- C.
Spoiler
Correct Answer
C. SpoilerExplanation
Spoilers are used to augment the ailerons to achieve the roll rate commanded by the pilot or copilot. Spoilers are surfaces located on the wings that disrupt the airflow over the wings, reducing lift and increasing drag. By deploying spoilers on one wing while retracting them on the other, the aircraft can roll in the desired direction. This helps in controlling the roll motion of the aircraft during maneuvers and allows for precise control of the aircraft's bank angle.Rate this question:

(425) What component ensures that areodynamic loads push the spoiler panel to retract in the event of hydraulic system failure?
- A.
Electro-hydraulic Servo Valve, second stage.
- B.
Electro-hydraulic Servo Valve, first stage.
- C.
Fixed load free/ centering assembly
Correct Answer
A. Electro-hydraulic Servo Valve, second stage.Explanation
The correct answer is Electro-hydraulic Servo Valve, second stage. The second stage of the electro-hydraulic servo valve ensures that aerodynamic loads push the spoiler panel to retract in the event of hydraulic system failure. This component is responsible for controlling the flow of hydraulic fluid to the spoiler panel, allowing it to retract when necessary.Rate this question:
