Question 36-1 : Most transport aeroplanes are provided with protection against control jamming this means that ? [ Experience registration ]

The flight control system has provisions to disconnect the part of the control system that becomes blocked

Fcom boeing 737 .the columns and wheels are connected through transfer mechanisms which allow the pilots to bypass a jammed control or surface . elevator control column override mechanism .in the event of a control column jam an override mechanism allows the control columns to be physically separated applying force against the jam will breakout either the captain's or first officer's control column whichever column moves freely after the breakout can provide adequate elevator control .. aileron transfer mechanism .if the ailerons or spoilers are jammed force applied to the captain's and the first.officer's control wheels will identify which system ailerons or spoilers is usable.and which control wheel captain's or first officer's can provide roll control if the aileron control system is jammed force applied to the first officer's control wheel provides roll control from the spoilers the ailerons and the captain's control wheel are inoperative if the spoiler system is jammed force applied to the captain's control wheel provides roll control from the ailerons the spoilers and the first officer's control wheel are inoperative . rudder .the rudder provides yaw control about the airplane's vertical axis each set of rudder pedals is mechanically connected by cables to the input levers.of the main and standby rudder pcus the main pcu consists of two independent input rods two individual control valves and two separate actuators one for hydraulic system a and one for hydraulic system b the standby rudder pcu is controlled by a separate input rod and control valve and powered by the standby hydraulic system all three input rods have individual jam override mechanisms that allows input commands to continue to be transferred to the remaining free.input rods if an input rod or downstream hardware is hindered or jammed exemple 136 The flight control system has provisions to disconnect the part of the control system that becomes blocked.

Question 36-2 : A flight control surface actuator is said to be 'irreversible' when ?

There is no feedback to the pilot's controls of the aerodynamic forces acting on the control surface

An irreversible flight control system is where there is not a direct mechanical linkage connection between the control lever in the cockpit and the flight control surface in an irreversible mechanical system the control lever in the cockpit moves a spool valve on a hydraulic power control unit pcu . a mechanical linkage drives the spool the mechanical linkage will consist of a combination of bellcranks pushrods cable systems pogos summing linkages etc the design of a mechanical irreversible system is similar to the design of a reversible flight control system the main difference will be the spool forces are better defined than surface hinge moments . also an artificial feel system is required for irreversible flight control systems because there is no feedback to the pilot's controls of the aerodynamic forces acting on the control surface exemple 140 There is no feedback to the pilot's controls of the aerodynamic forces acting on the control surface.

1 3

In addition to the primary flight controls for roll pitch and yaw there are often secondary controls available to give the pilot finer control over flight or to ease the workload the most commonly available control is a wheel or other device to control stabiliser trim so that the pilot does not have to maintain constant backward or forward pressure to hold a specific pitch attitude other types of trim for rudder and ailerons are common on larger aircraft but may also appear on smaller ones . many aircraft have wing flaps controlled by a switch or a mechanical lever or in some cases are fully automatic by computer control which alter the shape of the wing for improved control at the slower speeds used for takeoff and landing other secondary flight control systems may be available including slats spoilers and air brakes exemple 168 1, 3.
