Q

What is the function of the Rudder Travel Limiting System?

A

The rudder angle is limited as a function of flight conditions (speed, slat/flap positions) in order to maintain directional stability of the aircraft.

20
Q

Where is the Rudder Travel Limiter displayed in the cockpit?

A

Flight Controls synoptic page

21
Q

What is the function of the Yaw Damper?

A
  • To improve the aircraft’s stability by damping out oscillations in yaw to prevent Dutch roll
  • To assist turn coordination
22
Q

How many Yaw Dampers are installed in the CRJ-700?

A

Two

23
Q

How are the Yaw Dampers engaged?

A

By selecting the YD 1 and YD 2 ENGAGE switchlights on the YAW DAMPER panel.

24
Q

What is the function of the DISC button located on the Yaw Damper Control panel?

A

This disengages the Yaw Dampers

25
Q

Will the autopilot operate with one channel of the Yaw Damper inoperative?

A

Yes

26
Q

What EICAS message appears when both channels of the Yaw Damper fail?

A

A YAW DAMPER caution message is displayed on the Primary Page

27
Q

What message appears when only one channel of the Yaw Damper fails?

A

A YD 1 or YD 2 status message is displayed on the Status Page

28
Q

How many Power Control Units (PCU) activate each elevator?

A

Three

29
Q

How many separate elevators comprise the elevator system?

A

Two

30
Q

What is the function of the Pitch Disconnect Handle (PITCH DISC)?

A

It is used to isolate a jammed elevator system control.

31
Q

Is hydraulic power necessary to trim the aileron and rudder systems?

A

Yes

32
Q

How is the trimming of the ailerons accomplished?

A

Activation of the AIL TRIM switches causes hydraulic power to move the actual aileron surface. Actuation of the aileron trim will cause deflection of the control wheels.

33
Q

How is the trimming of the rudder accomplished?

A

Activation of the RUD TRIM switch causes hydraulic power to move the actual rudder surface. Actuation of the rudder trim will not cause deflection of the rudder pedals.

34
Q

How is the trimming of the horizontal stabilizer accomplished?

A

Two electric trim motors move a jack screw that varies the horizontal stabilizer’s angle of incidence.

35
Q

What is the function of the Mach Trim System?

A

It makes allowances for the rearward shift of the aerodynamic center of pressure as the Mach number increases by automatically adjusting the stabilizer.

36
Q

How is the Slat/Flap System powered?

A

Electrically

37
Q

What will power the flaps with the loss of the AC Bus 1 and AC Bus 2?

A

The ADG

38
Q

How is electrical load reduced when using the Air Driven Generator (ADG) to operate the flaps?

A

By operating at half speed

39
Q

What is the function of the Emergency Flap Switch?

A

It allows limited flap selection in the event of a mechanical failure of the Flaps/Slats Selector Lever.

40
Q

What are the restrictions when using the Emergency Flap Switch?

A

Slats extend to 25, flaps extend to 20 & airspeed must be below 230 knots.

41
Q

What is the function of the Flight Spoilers?

A

To provide lift dumping and speed control

42
Q

What is the function and location of the Multi-Function Spoilers?

A

The two outboard spoilers on each wing act as Multi-Functional Spoilers to provide roll assist, proportional lift dumping, and ground lift dumping functions.

43
Q

What is the function and location of the Ground Spoilers?

A

The two inboard spoilers on each wing act as Ground Spoilers to provide ground lift dumping.

44
Q

When does the Ground Lift Dumping System automatically deploy?

A
  • The system must be armed
  • Both left and right thrust levers at idle or reverse AND
  • At least two of the following:
    • Left or right MLG weight-on-wheels
    • Wheel speed greater than 16 knots
    • Radio altitude less than 7 feet
45
Q

When does the Ground Lift Dumping System automatically retract after landing?

A
  • Either left or right engine less than minimum takeoff setting AND
  • Aircraft on the ground for more than 40 seconds AND
  • Inboard and outboard wheel speed below 45 knots for 10 seconds
46
Q

What is the function of the winglets?

A

They create a forward lift component and a reduction of induced drag that translates into a 3% fuel consumption reduction.
