Fig 4: Aileron
a.
Each aileron powered by tandem hydraulic
System Components-
actuator (PCU)
-Simplified
(1) Failure of either actuator will not affect
remaining actuator
(2) Failure of either hydraulic system will not
affect operation
b.
Stick to aileron ratio changer increases aileron
deflection and reduces maximum lateral stick
deplacement when landing gear down
(1) Maximum aileron deflection up and down is
12.5 degrees gear up and 15.5 degrees
gear down
(2) Maximum aileron trim deflection: 6 degrees
up or down (with landing gear extended
authority increases to +/- 9 degrees)
c.
Simultaneous operation of both trim switches in
opposite directions disables the trim motor
?
What is the difference between elevators and
stabilators?
ANSWER: Elevators are attached to a fixed stabilizer and move
up or down to control pitch (as on the T-34). A stabilator is one
piece and the entire unit rotates to control pitch.
