Definition           Mach trim must be working for speeds above Mach 0.77 if hand flying Term         What powers rudder bias? Definition           Main DC Term       Why is main DC required for the rudder bias, when the system use bleed air? Definition         Controller need main DC to take input from ADC to position the actuator Term       Until what speed will rudder bias allow full rudder travel? Definition         125 Kts   Start restricting rudder travel above that Term         When will rudder bias move to its minimum position? Definition     a) Above 250 Kts   b) TR's deployment   c) Emer stow   d) Override switch Term     When would you use the override switch on the rudder bias? Definition       Uncommanded rudder deflection   Moving to its minimum length reduce force to a minimum Term         What is the advantage of having a rudder bias? Definition           Reduce Vmcg and V1 Term       On what bus is the rudder bias override? Definition           Emer bus Term       What happens to the rudder bias with loss of DC? Definition           Fail at last position Term       On what bus is the rudder trim? Definition           Emer bus Term     How many boundary layer energizers (BLE) are on each wing and what are they for? Definition         9   Back up to the AOA prior to stall Term       How many static wicks total and how many can be missing?

Definition         44 total   16 can be missing Term       What happens to the elevators when setting the flaps beyond 15 degrees? Definition         Automatically trimmed by the flap/stabilizer interconnect system, regardless of autopilot on or off Term       When will the  trim audio clacker sounds? Definition   a) When the autopilot trims for 3 seconds   b) When using the secondary trim for 3 seconds   c) When there is a runaway trim for 1 second Term       Will the trim audio clacker sound using the primary trim? Definition           Only on autopilot Term       Which secondary controls are electric? Definition       Flaps   Stab   Trim Term         Why do the trims use 2 halves to compose the switch? Definition         One half set power, other half applies it   Runaway prevention Term       When do the spoilers deploy? Definition           13 degrees of yoke angle Term       How do you get a flap assymmetrical protection? Definition           System shuts off if more than 5% split Term       Can you turn off rudder bias? Definition           No, the best you can do is use override to drive the actuator down to minimum Term       At what position is the rudder bias actuator for takeoff? Definition           Fully extended Term         What is the reason for having a "red stab no t/o" annunciator? Definition         Stab pointer can be adjusted by maintenance and may show green even when stab not in proper place Term       What triggers the oil pressure annunciator? Definition        Pressure switch   Not the gauge on EICAS Term       At what rate does the secondary trim move? Definition           Half the speed of the primary trim Term     What is the common part between the primary and secondary trim? Definition           Same actuator but different motors Term       How many degrees does the stab trim move? Definition           10 degrees Term     On preflight,what gap should you see between elevators when the stabilizer is set to -6.9 degrees? Definition       1 inch   Should never be flush with the elevator Term       What is the function of the stab trim tab?
