1. INTRODUCTION.

1.1. General.
Flight control systems can be grouped as primary or secondary control systems.
Primary flight controls are those which are used to provide continuous control
of the airplane about the pitch, roll and yaw axes, and include the aileron,
rudder, elevator and spoiler systems.
Secondary flight controls are those used intermittently, to modify the basic
aerodynamic configuration of the airplane to improve its performance at a
particular flight condition, and include the leading edge slat, trailing edge flap,
spoiler (when used as air or ground speedbrakes) and stabilizer trim systems.

Flight Control Actuators & Servos.


All primary flight controls are driven by hydraulically operated Power Control
Actuators (PCA) with no manual reversion capability.
A total of twenty nine actuators are employed with eight in the aileron system,
twelve in the spoiler system, six in the elevator system and three in the rudder
system.
In addition the aileron system has three additional control actuators (LCCA) to
power the wing cable systems to the PCAs located at the aileron.

Nine autopilot servos, three on each axis, provide triple redundancy required
for category three autoland capability.
The aileron servos are part of the LCCAs with the three elevator and three
rudder servos as individual units.

Two yaw damper servos provide rudder inputs independent of pilot/autoflight


control inputs.
The trailing edge flaps and leading edge slats which are secondary flight
controls, are operated by power drive units (PDU).
The PDU will rotate torque tubes to power two rotary actuators (mechanical)
at each control surface.

2. AUTOFLIGHT INTERFACE.

Flight control computers (3) use the autoflight (A/P) servos to control airplane
movement.
FCC interfaces the thrust management computer (TMC), flight management
computer (FMC), maintenance control and display panel (MCDP) with the
specific A/P servo needed for airplane axis movement.
FCC then commands the control valves in the appropriate servos to allow
hydraulic pressure to move the output cranks.
Output cranks connect to mechanical linkage for power control actuator (PCA)
input.
LVDT’s in each servo compare surface position vs servo position for the
information needed to null commanded control valve inputs.

Manual/electric overrides are available for each system.

5. AILERON

5.1. General.
The inboard and outboard ailerons provide roll control about the airplane
longitudinal axis.

The left and right ailerons move in opposite directions.


The ailerons move up on one wing and down on the other, causing the
airplane to roll.

The inboard ailerons operate during all phases of airplane operation.

5.2. Aileron System Overview.


The aileron control system provides mechanical control of hydraulic actuator
servo valves.
The system has two body cable systems to provide backup control for jams or
disconnects.
Lost motion devices provide separation between the primary and backup body
cable systems.
Three overrides are also installed between the body cable systems to provide
separation of the systems if a jam occurs in either.
Two overrides in each wing provide separation of a jammed inboard or
outboard aileron from the aileron control system.

Normal system operation by the primary cable system provides lateral central
control actuator (LCCA) operation of the wing cable systems.
Backup cable system operation of the LCCA’s is possible if a disconnect occurs
in the primary cable system.
If the LCCA control system is failed (primary system) direct operation of
the right, wing cables by the backup cable system is possible by use of the
override and lost motion devices.
LCCA operation is required for left wing cable system operation.

There are nineteen rig pins in the aileron system for adjustment of cables,
rods, quadrants and torque tubes.

Aileron Deflection Limits.


Aileron deflection is shown in relation to control wheel position.
The outboard and inboard ailerons have different control wheel schedules.
Maximum aileron deflection with no air load is determined by internal stops
in the power control actuators except for the down displacement of the
outboard ailerons.

Outboard Ailerons.
Maximum deflection is 30.5° up & 15.5° down at 50° of control wheel
rotation.
Down deflection is limited by the aileron lock mechanism.

Inboard Ailerons.
The inboard ailerons are lowered by the trailing edge flap system and thus
have two control wheel schedules. Maximum deflection is 21.5 ° up and
down, drooped or not drooped.
When the inboard ailerons are not drooped, full up deflection requires 32° of
control wheel rotation.
Full up deflection requires 48° when the inboard ailerons are drooped.

Autopilot.
Maximum authority during single channel operation is 18° of control wheel
rotation.
Maximum authority is 55° when more than one autopilot is engaged during
autoland operation.

Aileron Trim.
Aileron trim authority is 30° of control wheel rotation.

When operated by speedbrake mechanism inputs, to reduce lift and increase
drag for descent and landing operations, they are raised on both wings.

There are two inboard and four outboard panels on each wing numbered
from left to right.

Spoiler operation is by electronic control of hydraulic actuators or a


“fly-by-wire” control system.

Control.
Electronic control of hydraulic power actuators (PCA) is by control wheel rotary
variable differential transformers (RVDT) and speedbrake lever linear variable
differential transformer (LVDT) inputs to spoiler control modules (SCM).
Each SCM outputs control signals to an electro-hydraulic servo valve (EHSV) on
two power control actuators (PCA).
Spoiler panel position signals from a piston operated internal PCA LVDT
provide a feedback signal to the SCM for panel control and fault detection.

RVDT lateral control inputs are from aileron system operation.


LVDT speedbrake control inputs are from speedbrake lever operation.
Linear variable differential transformers (LVDTs) within each PCA sends a
feedback voltage back to the SCM.
The command voltage and feedback are continually summed and the
command voltage is nulled out as the spoiler approaches its commanded
position.
The panel stops when the feedback signal equals the command signal.

system.

Control wheel rotation drives three rotary variable differential transformers


(RVDT) in the left and right forward quadrants.
Inflight speedbrakes are commanded by the speedbrake lever through three
linear variable differential transformers (LVDT) pairs.

Each SCM has two output signals - one to the left wing and one to the right
wing.
The two outputs will cause the spoiler pair to deploy asymmetrically during
roll-control and symmetrically during speed brake operation.
These modes are modified within the SCM if a roll is initiated while
speedbrakes are deployed.
Spoiler panel deployment is determined by internal SCM programs.

Ground speedbrake operation may be initiated manually by moving the


speedbrake lever to the deploy position or initiated automatically by an
electrical actuator after the airplane is on the ground.
Automatic speedbrake operation is controlled by switches and relays which
command the auto speedbrake actuator when ARMING conditions are
satisfied.

6.2.2. Roll Spoiler.

Operation of the lateral control system, by a control wheel or autopilot servo


input, causes the spoilers to move up on one wing to roll the airplane.
The amount of lateral control system input required to begin moving the
panels up decreases when the flaps are at 25 or 30 units.

A control wheel input, with the panels down, results in panels rising on the up
aileron wing (down wing), and remaining down on the down aileron wing.
A control wheel input with the panels full up, from a speedbrake lever input,
results in panels lowering on the down aileron wing and remaining full up on
the up aileron wing.
A control wheel input with both wing panels partially raised results in panels
rising on the up aileron wing and lowering on the down aileron wing.
In this case the amount of panel movement would be reduced by one half to
maintain the same rate of roll for a given control wheel input.

Maximum deflection is 45° for the outboard panels and 17° for the inboard
panels with full control wheel rotation.

7. RUDDER.

7.1. General
A single rudder on the aft spar of the vertical stabilizer provides yaw control
about the vertical axis of the airplane.
While the vertical stabilizer is the primary source of airplane directional
stability, the rudder must also provide adequate directional control to
coordinate turns, create sideslip, balance unsymmetrical engine thrust and
enable landing during runway crosswind conditions.

High engine thrust capabilities require a large rudder for directional control
during engine failure on takeoff.
Due to increased rudder effectiveness at high speed, rudder authority is
reduced as speed increases to prevent structural damage.

Movement of the rudder pedals is transferred by rods to forward quadrants


connected to a pair of cables.
The cables drive the aft quadrant.
Autopilot servos and a rudder trim actuator also provide control inputs to the
aft quadrant.

Rudder control authority is varied from approximately 26° to 2° by the ratio


changer mechanism.
Rudder Ratio Changer Modules control the ratio changer actuator.
A summing mechanism combines control inputs from the aft quadrant and
the yaw damper servos.
The servos are controlled by Yaw Damper Modules.

The rudder is moved by three actuators, each powered by a separate hydraulic


system.
A position transmitter signals rudder position.

the lateral axis. The purpose of the elevator is to make short term changes
in the airplane pitch attitude for climb, descent and altitude hold. Elevator
movement initiates long term trim by the horizontal stabilizer.

Moving the elevator trailing edge up results in an airplane nose-up movement.


Moving the elevator trailing edge down results in an airplane nose-down
movement.

Control.
Pilot control is by moving the control columns. Control cables transfer the
input to elevator aft quadrants which command the PCA’s.
The PCA’s are powered by the three hydraulic systems.

In autopilot mode, the operating FCC electrically commands the autopilot


servos which input to the elevator quadrants and the PCA’s.

Control column feel is provided by the feel and centering unit. The feel at the
column is varied as a function of airspeed by the elevator feel computer.

A stick nudger commanded by the stall warning computers moves the


elevators and the control columns to cause a nose down attitude of the
airplane.

responding to position transmitter input.
The system has two redundant paths, one on the left side and one on the
right side of the airplane. Each path commands its own elevator power control The slave cable interconnect mechanism receives input from the elevator
actuators (PCA). The two paths can be separated in case of a jam by overrides movement through a lost motion device and two overrides. The mechanism
at the column torque tubes and at the aft quadrants. allows the elevator on one side to be commanded by the other in case of a
lost connection downstream of the aft quadrant torque tube.
Movement of the column is transferred to a cable tension regulator quadrant.
A stick shaker is mounted on each torque tube for stall warning.
Cables connect the forward quadrants to the aft quadrants. The aft quadrants
are mounted on their own offset torque tubes. These torque tubes are
interconnected through an override and an asymmetry limiter.
Three autopilot servos are connected to the torque tubes by connecting rods.

A feel and centering unit, mounted on the stabilizer compartment aft


bulkhead, provides feel and centering to the elevator system. The feel and
centering is by spring and a dual hydraulic actuator. The feel computer,
in the stabilizer compartment, varies the feel actuator hydraulic pressures as
a function of airspeed. The stick nudger, mounted on the feel and centering
unit, is commanded by the stall warning system to move the elevator down.

8.2.2. Elevator Feel Computer. If a jam occurs in the right elevator controls, the captain feels one half of the

provide feel forces at the elevator columns and operate the rate control valve If a jam occurs in the left elevator controls, the first officer feels the same force
of the Stabilizer Trim Control Modules (STCM). as above plus the mechanical feel force.

The elevator feel computer is located on the left side of the stabilizer
compartment.

Operation.
The elevator feel computer is a dual hydro-pneumatic unit which receives
airspeed signal from two pitot pressure lines. The stabilizer position is
transmitted to the feel computer by a rod connected to the stabilizer.

As airspeed increases, the two output hydraulic pressures gradually increase.


The horizontal stabilizer movement to trim the airplane nose-up gradually
limits the output pressures to a lower value.

The output feel pressures can vary from 175 psi to 1150 psi above return line
pressure at airspeeds from 0 to about 350 knots with the horizontal stabilizer
in the neutral position.

A relief valve is provided in each half of the feel computer to limit feel
pressures to 160% of normal output pressures.
The output pressure from each computer half is monitored by two differential
pressure switches. When one output feel pressure differs from the other
by 25% or more for more than 30 seconds with all three hydraulic system
pressurized, the ELEV FEEL message appears on the status and maintenance
pages of EICAS. This message is latched in the air mode in the EICAS memory.

A bias spring biases the stabilizer input crank towards the airplane nose-down
position. If the stabilizer input rod fails, the feel pressures can then vary to the
full range of pitot pressure changes.

8.2.3. Stick Nudger.

The stick nudger consists of an electric actuator, crank assembly and spring
mounted on the upper face of the feel and centering unit. The electric
actuator is pivot mounted on the feel unit and rotates a crank assembly which
then pulls on the stick nudger spring. The spring is attached to the upper
(captain) input crank of the feel unit.

The stick nudger actuator consists of a 28V DC electric motor which extends
and retracts a rod. Switches internal to the actuator cutout electric power at
the end of the stroke.

Operation.
During normal operation, the nudger actuator is retracted. The center line of
the crank assembly left end coincides with the pivot of the upper input crank.
Elevator command inputs are not affected by the stick nudger.

During flight with flaps and slats retracted, a stall warning from both stall
warning computers results in commanding the actuator to extend. As the
actuator extends, the rotation of the crank assembly pulls on the nudger
spring and rotates the upper input crank. If the pilot does not restrain the
movement of the column, the stick nudger applies an airplane nose-down
command to the elevator. If the pilot restrains the movement of the column,
the stick nudger spring is stretched further as the nudger actuator extends.

When the stall warning stops, the nudger actuator is commanded to retract
and repositions the crank assembly.

9. STABILIZER.

9.1. General
Purpose.
The horizontal stabilizer is a moveable assembly that includes the elevator.
Changes in the stabilizer angle of attack result in airplane movement about
the pitch axis.

The purpose of the stabilizer trim is to make long term changes in the airplane
pitch attitude (short term pitch changes are made by the elevator).
Airplane pitch requirements change during flight due to changes in center of
gravity (CG), engine thrust and airspeed changes.

Moving the stabilizer leading edge up results in airplane nose down trim.
Moving the stabilizer leading edge down results in airplane nose up trim.

9.5.3. Mach Trim Mode.

General Description.
The Mach trim mode controls the stabilizer trim during flight when no
autopilot is selected (no FCC engaged) and no other stabilizer trim command
exists.
The controlling SAM commands the stabilizer trim as a function of change in
Mach number to enhance the longitudinal stability of the airplane.
A speed increase results in an airplane nose up trim while a speed decrease
results in an airplane nose down trim.

Operation.
Both SAMs contain the Mach trim circuits and receive Mach data from the two
ADCs.

After initialization the controlling SAM automatically engages the Mach trim
mode and commands the stabilizer to move at half rate of speed when :

- The airplane is in the air (20 sec. delay),


- No manual electric trim switches input is being made,
- No alternate electric trim switches input is being made,
- No FCC is engaged (no autotrim),
- Flaps and slats are retracted,
- The airplane speed changes,
- No SAM fault is present.

The Mach trim schedule provides for a greater stabilizer trim correction as the
Mach number increases.

Movement of the elevator control column in opposite direction to the airplane


longitudinal trim causes the elevator control column cutoff switches to stop
the Mach trim mode.

High Lift Systems.


The leading edge slat and trailing edge flap systems are usually operated
together by the flap control lever.
The trailing edge flaps are operated by one drive system and power drive unit
(PDU) with two rotary actuators at each flap.
The leading edge slat system has separate drives for the inboard and outboard
devices with the two ‘inboard slats operated by one drive and PDU, and the
ten outboard slats operated by another drive and PDU.
There are two rotary actuators at each slat.

A flap/slat electronic unit (FSEU) provides position indication, failure protection


and control functions.
A flap/slat shutoff valve module is controlled by the FSEU to sequence flap and
slat operation.
The FSEU also provides separate flap and slat alternate operation for non-
normal high lift systems operation.

FSEU.
The flap/slat electronic unit (FSEU) controls the slat shutoff valve during
hydraulic motor operation to sequence the flaps and slats and for long-term
system depressurization.
The FSEU controls the PDU bypass valves for hydraulic motor shutdown for
uncommanded motion and asymmetry failures.

PSEU.
The proximity switch electronic unit (PSEU) monitors proximity sensors on each
slat to detect disagree and asymmetry faults.
The PSEU receives,
flap lever and alternate position selector switch inputs from the FSEU for
disagree fault detection.
The PSEU signals the FSEU when either fault is detected.

10.4. Trailing edge FLAPS.


10.4.1. General.

Two trailing edge flaps are mounted on each wing.


The inboard flaps are double slotted and the outboard are single slotted.
A single power drive unit (PDU) powers eight rotary drive actuators
(two on each flap assembly) through gearboxes and drive shafts.

Control of primary (hydraulic) flap operation is by a flap control lever


connected by cables to the flap aft quadrant.
A load relief (alleviation) actuator is connected to the PDU input linkage to
limit extension if airspeed limits are exceeded at landing flap settings.

A flap slat electronic unit (FSEU) controls position indicating, failure protection
and alternate (electric) operations.
Position transmitters on the flap drive actuators and flap control lever are used
by the FSEU for its control functions.

The FSEU controls the flap/slat shutoff valve module to sequence flap and slat
drive operation and to remove hydraulic pressure to the PDU during cruise
flight operations.

10.4.2. Normal Operation.

Flap Control Lever.


The spring loaded flap lever has seven detented positions.

The detents show units of primary drive command input.


Gates at the land 20 unit positions prevent lever movement directly through
these positions.
These gates show lever positions for critical flap and slat configuration
changes during flight operations.

Two rotary variable differential transformers (RVDT) are operated by a flap


lever gearbox in the control stand.
RVDT number 1 inputs flap lever position to flap slat electronic unit (FSEU)
section 2 and RVDT number 2 to inputs FSEU section 1.

Flap Primary Drive Control.


The hydraulic motor on the flap power drive unit (PDU) is the primary power
source for the flap drive.
Inputs to the PDU control unit for hydraulic motor operation are from cables
and control rods operated by the flap control lever or by operation of the
control rods by the flap load relief actuator.
Drive shaft operation of the control unit provides hydraulic motor shutdown at
the commanded position (closed loop).
Cables from the flap control lever are routed through the forward cargo
compartment to a flap aft quadrant in the aft cargo compartment.
A control rod from the quadrant extends through the right wheel well aft wall.
Controls shafts connect the control rod to the PDU.
Turnbuckles are provided at two locations for cable rigging.

10.4.3. Flap Alternate Operation.

The flap power drive unit (PDU) alternate drive electric motor is controlled by
the flap slat electronic unit (FSEU).
The FSEU receives command inputs from the alternate flaps position selector
switch.
Alternate flap arm switch inputs are also used by the FSEU for relay control as
well as for direct control of the PDU bypass valve.

The FSEU controls alternate flap relays to provide power to the reversible PDU
electric motor.

A right wing drive position transmitter inputs to a flap stabilizer position


module (FSPM) which provides flap drive position to the FSEU.
This provides an FSEU closed loop control system, similar to primary drive,
to turn off the electric motor when flap drive and selector switch inputs agree.

10.4.6. Flap Asymmetry.

The flap asymmetry protection system shuts down (bypasses) the flap primary
drive and illuminates the TE FLAP ASYM message and flap amber light when a
flap drive asymmetry condition is detected.

Resolvers in flap position transmitter assemblies one and eight and four and
five are compared by the flap slat electronic unit (FSEU) section 1 to detect a
disconnect in the flap drive system.
A difference in resolver degree input between resolvers one and eight or
between four and five equivalent to
43 1/4 drive shaft revolutions causes immediate system shutdown and fault
annunciation (approximately 12% of flap drive full travel).
If the resolver difference remains for five seconds the fault and annunciation
are latched.

If the asymmetry no longer exists, the latch can be reset by pushing the flap
alternate arm switch on and off, by opening and closing the FSEU 1 control
circuit breaker, or by moving the flaps and flap lever to the retracted position.

10.5. Leading Edges Slats.


10.5.1. General.

Primary Control.
The leading edge slats are controlled by inputs from the flap lever.
The flap lever operates a cable system to the slat aft quadrant which is
connected to the inboard and outboard slat power drive units (PDU).

A hydraulic motor powers each power drive unit (PDU) gearbox,


which operates drive shafts, gearboxes and rotary actuators connected to the
slats.
There is a separate PDU and drive system for the inboard and outboard slats.

Krueger seal flaps, operated by the inboard slat drive system,


are fully extended when the inboard slats are in takeoff (sealed) position.

Slat Alternate Control.


The PDU gearbox can also be operated by an electric motor for alternate
system operation.
The electric motor is controlled by the flap slat electronic unit (FSEU).

10.5.2. INB / OUTB Slats.

Inboard Slat Drive and Tracks.


Each inboard slat is extended and retracted by two control rods each
connected to a rotary actuator arm and a fitting on the aft side of the slat.
The main support for the slat is by an “A” frame at the inboard end,
a support arm at the center and a main track, with emergency down stop,
at the outboard end, all mounted to the wing front spar. The slat is held
in position on the main support components and the control rods by three
auxiliary track arms. The slat is attached to each auxiliary track arm at two
places to prevent slat rotation and provide slat angle positioning by the
profiled auxiliary track. The auxiliary tracks position the inboard slats at 12°
when extended to the intermediate or takeoff position and at 30.3° when
fully extended.

Outboard Slat Drive and Tracks.


Each outboard slat is extended and retracted by two control rods each
connected to a rotary actuator arm and a fitting on the aft side of the slat.
Two main tracks, with emergency down stops, support the slat. These tracks
extend into recesses in the wing fuel tanks when the slats are retracted.
The slat is held in position on the main tracks and control rods by two
auxiliary track arms. The slat is attached to the auxiliary track arms at two
places to prevent slat rotation and, provide slat angle positioning by the
profiled auxiliary track. The auxiliary tracks position the outboard slats at 26°
when extended to the intermediate (takeoff) position and at 35° when fully
extended.

10.5.3. Slat Position.

Sensor.
A proximity sensor is installed on wing leading edge structure near the inboard
and outboard auxiliary tracks-on each slat.
The sensor is actuated by either a retract target, riveted on the auxiliary track
arm, or a roller bolt assembly at the aft end of the auxiliary track arm that
holds the track arm on the track.
On each slat one sensor is installed farther aft on wing structure than the
sensor near the other auxiliary track with its retract target installed the same
distance aft on the auxiliary track arm.

Operation.
When the slat is fully retracted the retract target on the auxiliary track arm is
near to the proximity sensor.
When the slat is in the intermediate (takeoff) position the auxiliary track roller
ball assembly target is near on the inboard auxiliary track on the outboard slats
and the outboard auxiliary track on the inboard slats.

When the slat is fully extended, the near sensor/targets are reversed,
with the roller ball assembly target near on the outboard auxiliary track for the
outboard slats and the inboard auxiliary track for the inboard slats.

Maintenance Practices.
A target out of adjustment or a faulted sensor would be detected by the PSEU
as a slat asymmetry condition.
The PSEU built-in test (BITE) would identify the faulted component by a sensor/
target code and sensor or target fault light.

10.5.4. LE Slat Alternate.

The slat inboard and outboard power drive unit (PDU) alternate drive electric
motors are controlled by the flap slat electronic unit (PSEU).
The FSEU receives command inputs from the alternate flaps position selector
switch and slat drive position from rotary variable differential transformers
(RVDT) on each PDU.
Using these inputs, section 3 of the FSEU controls relays to provide power to
the reversible electric motors on both PDUs.

The slat alternate arm switch directly controls the bypass valves on the PDUs
during alternate drive operation to remove the hydraulic motor lock on the
PDU gearbox.
The arm switch also controls power to the FSEU for relay control.

The FSEU compares the command and slat drive position inputs separately
in the inboard and outboard slat systems for individual, closed-loop motor
control.

Electric motor turn off does not occur simultaneously on the inboard
and outboard slat systems due to different degrees of extension at the
intermediate (takeoff) and fully extended positions.
