The rudder pedals mechanically control the rudder via a spring tab.

• false

• true

• rudder damper

The gust lock acts on the following flight controls:

• ailerons and elevators

• elevators and rudder

• elevators

• elevators, ailerons, and rudder

Engagement of the gust lock can occur regardless of the position of the flight controls.

• False

• True- however, the controls must be brought back to neutral in order to positively lock the locking mechanism.

• True

• False- the controls must be brought back to neutral in order to engage the gust lock.

Spoiler position is indicated by four spoiler position indicators located on the overhead panel. An illuminated position light indicates that the associated spoiler is in the retracted position.

• An automatic pitch uncoupling allows the other channel to operate the two elevators.

• False

• True

A green spoiler light illuminates to indicate:

• the associated spoiler has failed

• the associated spoiler is in the retracted position

• the associated spoiler is not in the retracted position

In the automatic mode, the TLU limits rudder travel when the aircraft accelerates through ___ knots.

• 180

Power for the normal pitch trim system is from...

• DC EMER BUS

• DC BUS 2

• DC BUS 1

Aileron trim is achieved by repositioning the neutral point of:

• the right aileron spring tab

• Both the left and right aileron spring tabs

• the left aileron spring tab

The yaw trim position indicator shows:

• rudder position

• units of trim motor displacement from neutral

• rudder spring tab position

When do the roll spoilers begin to move?

• after the associated aileron deflects down more than 14°

• as soon as the control wheel is displaced from neutral

• when the associated aileron deflects up to a certain amount

• at full aileron deflection
