1
Q

When selecting the flap lever to 1 after the flaps have been at CONF 2 or higher, what setting will the flaps and slats go to?

A

• CONF1+F
• This configuration has a maximum speed 215 knots, with automatic
retraction of flaps occurring at 210 knots.

2
Q

What is the normal flap setting for a go-around?

A

Retract one step

3
Q

How are the flaps and slats affected if only GREEN hydraulic system pressure available?

A

The flaps and slats will still operate, but at half speed

4
Q

What system prevents flap or slat asymmetry?

A

Wing Tip Brakes (WTB)

5
Q

What causes the WTBs to activate?

A
  • Runaway
  • Over speed (flaps)
  • Asymmetry
  • Movement (un-commanded)
6
Q

If the WTBs activate due to a flap asymmetry, how are the slats affected?

A

The slats can still operate normally - only flap operation is inhibited.

7
Q

How many Slat/Flap Control Computers (SFCC) are installed?

A

Two

8
Q

What would occur if one SFCC failed?

A

The slats and flaps would continue to operate, but at half speed.

9
Q

What flap/slat configurations correspond to position 1 on the FLAPS lever and how do they differ?

A
  • CONF 1+F is used for takeoff and provides both slats (position 1) + flaps
  • CONF 1 is used in-flight and is slats only
10
Q

When will the Automatic Retraction System (ARS) operate?

A

During acceleration in CONF 1+F, the flaps (not slats) will automatically retract to 0 at 210 knots.

11
Q

What is ALPHA LOCK?

A

This function inhibits retracting flaps/slats from 1 to 0 at a high angle of attack and low airspeed.

12
Q

When the FLAP legend appears in cyan on the E/WD, what is indicated?

A

Flaps/slats in transit

13
Q

What happens to the ailerons when the flaps are extended?

A

The ailerons droop
