SPEEDBRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM - GROUND SPOILER CONTROL VALVE
Purpose
The ground spoiler control valve receives inputs from

the spoiler mixer and sends hydraulic system A pressure
to the ground spoiler bypass valve.
Location
The ground spoiler control valve is on the forward

bulkhead of the main landing gear wheel well. It is
right of the spoiler mixer and ratio changer.
A control rod connects the ground spoiler control valve

to the spoiler mixer. During speedbrake lever movement,
the control rod moves the ground spoiler control valve.
You may use the rigging tool to connect and adjust the
control rod, but it is not necessary.

The ground spoiler bypass valve is a mechanically

operated hydraulic valve that is spring loaded to the
air mode position.
A push-pull cable attaches to the ground spoiler bypass

valve and to the right main landing gear upper torsion
link. When the right main landing gear compresses

Purpose When you do maintenance around the spoilers, obey this
warning:

the airplane during landing and refused takeoffs. WARNING: DO NOT PUT A PART OF YOUR BODY BETWEEN THE
SPOILER AND THE WING UNLESS YOU REMOVE THE
Location HYDRAULIC POWER. THE SPOILERS CAN CAUSE
INJURY TO PERSONS.
There are three ground spoilers on each wing. The
ground spoilers are at the fixed trailing edge of the
wings. On each wing, there is one ground spoiler
inboard of the engine strut and two ground spoilers
just inboard of the aileron.
The ground spoilers are made of composite materials.

Both inboard ground spoilers are interchangeable. All
of the outboard ground spoilers are interchangeable.
The ground spoilers operate on the ground only. They

use inputs from the speedbrake lever.
The ground spoilers move up when the speedbrake lever

moves more than 31 degrees. All of the ground spoilers
27-62-CC-012 Rev 0 09/09/1998
move up 60 degrees. Stops in the ground spoiler

actuators limit the movement of the ground spoilers.
When you rig the spoilers, keep a small gap between the
spoiler and the TE flap.

ground spoilers. The auto speedbrake module (AMM PART I 27-61)
automatically operates all the spoilers on the ground.
Manual Speedbrake Control
When the speedbrake lever moves, the speedbrake lever

cables move a quadrant in the spoiler ratio changer.
The ratio changer moves the spoiler mixer, which
supplies an input to the ground spoiler control valve.
When the speedbrake lever moves 31 degrees, the ground
spoiler control valve sends hydraulic power to the
ground spoiler bypass valve.
A push-pull cable connects the ground spoiler bypass

valve to the right main landing gear torsion link. When
the airplane is on the ground, this cable opens the
ground spoiler bypass valve. This permits hydraulic
pressure to go to the ground spoiler actuators. This
causes the ground spoilers to move up.
Auto Speedbrake Control
During landing and refused takeoffs, the auto

27-62-CC-014 Rev 0 09/09/1998
speedbrake module operates the auto speedbrake

actuator. This actuator moves the speedbrake lever.
This operates the speedbrake cable system the same as
during manual speedbrake control. This causes the
ground spoilers to move up.

RUDDER AND RUDDER TRIM CONTROL SYSTEM - GENERAL DESCRIPTION 1
General See the yaw damper system section for more information.
The pilot uses the rudder pedals or the rudder trim

control knob to control the rudder. The yaw damper
system automatically controls the rudder.
Manual Operation - Rudder Pedals
The flight crew uses the rudder pedals to control the

rudder through the cables and the hydraulic PCUs.
Manual Operation - Rudder Trim
The rudder trim control knob and the trim actuator let
the flight crew trim out unwanted rudder pedal forces.
When the pilot moves the rudder trim control knob on
the aisle stand, the control sends a signal to the
rudder trim actuator. The rudder trim actuator moves
the feel and centering unit. This also backdrives the
rudder pedals. This movement creates an input to the
rudder PCU. Rudder PCU movement mechanically moves the
rudder.
Yaw Damper
The yaw damper keeps the airplane stable around the

27-21-CC-002 Rev 1 09/09/1998
vertical axis. When engaged, the yaw damper system

gives input to the main or the standby PCU. During
normal operation, the yaw damper coupler supplies
commands and the integrated flight systems accessory
unit supplies an engage signal to the main rudder PCU.
There is no yaw damper operation during manual
reversion.

RUDDER AND RUDDER TRIM CONTROL SYSTEM - MAIN RUDDER POWER CONTROL UNIT
Purpose The yaw damper EHSV sends pressure to move the yaw
damper actuator when the yaw damper system is engaged.
The main rudder power control unit (PCU) uses system A
and system B hydraulic power to move the rudder.
Location
The main rudder PCU is above the rudder feel and

centering unit in the vertical stabilizer. To get
access to the PCU, remove the panel on the left side of
the vertical fin.
The PCU has these parts:
- Housing connected to structure

- Piston connected to the rudder
- Input and summing cranks
- Yaw damper solenoid valve (not shown)
- Yaw damper EHSV (not shown).
When the pilot moves the rudder pedals, the rudder

input rod moves. This moves the external summing lever
27-21-CC-007 Rev 1 09/09/1998
and the input crank. This causes the PCU piston to move
the rudder. As the PCU piston moves, the summing lever
moves the input crank to null out the input. This stops
the PCU movement at the correct position.
The yaw damper solenoid valve sends pressure to the yaw

damper EHSV when the yaw damper system is engaged.

45 lb (20 kg).
Each TE flap transmission transmits the power from the
torque tubes to the universal joint and ballscrew. When Ballscrews

TE flap to move. The transmission turns the ballscrew through the
universal joint. The ballscrew has a ballscrew nut

with a torque trip indicator. If the TE flap does not
move freely, the torque brake stops the movement of the
torque tubes. This causes the hydraulic motor to stall.
The torque brake operates in either direction of flap
movement. The trip indicator must be manually reset if

Transmissions 2, 4, 5, and 7 also have two no-back

brakes. The no-back brakes are skewed-roller type
brakes. They prevent TE flaps retraction and extension

LE FLAP AND SLAT POSITION INDICATING SYSTEM - GENERAL DESCRIPTION
General
The LE flap and slat position indicating system

measures the position of the LE flaps and slats. The
leading flap/slat indication module uses this data to
show the lights on the LE devices annunciator panel in
the flight deck. The module also uses this data to show
the LE FLAPS TRANSIT light and the LE FLAPS EXT light.
Interfaces
There are 26 proximity sensors and switches, two for

each LE flap, and three for each LE slat. These
proximity sensors and switches measure the position of
targets that move with the surfaces. The proximity
sensors and switches send this data to the leading
flap/slat indication module (FSIM). The module uses
this data to control the LE devices annunciator panel
and lights in the flight deck.
The FSIM also sends this data to these components:
- Flight data acquisition unit (FDAU)

- Stall management computers (SMCs)
- Landing gear logic shelf.

LE Flap Position Indication
There are eight LE flap proximity sensors. For each LE

flap, there is one retract sensor and one retract
target on the outboard side of the hinge arm. For each
LE flap, there is one extend sensor and one extend
target on the inboard side of the flap nose linkage.
Each LE flap proximity sensor monitors the position of

only one target. When the LE flaps are in the retract
position, the retract sensor for each LE flap is in a
target-near condition and the extend sensor is in a
target-far condition. When the LE flap is in the extend
position, the retract sensor changes to a target-far
condition and the extend sensor changes to a target-
near condition.

When all the LE slats are in the full extend position,
the LE FLAPS TRANSIT light goes off and the LE FLAPS

Autoslat Operation
During an autoslat extension, the leading edge

flap/slat indication module inhibits the LE FLAPS
TRANSIT light. The stall management computers (SMCs)
send an autoslat signal to the module when the airplane
is near a stall condition. When this occurs, the module
gives a 13-second time delay to the LE FLAPS TRANSIT
light. This causes the LE FLAPS TRANSIT light to not
come on during autoslat extension of the LE slats.
When the SMCs remove the autoslat command, the 13-

second time delay becomes active again. This causes the
LE FLAPS TRANSIT light to not come on during retraction
of the LE slats after an autoslat extension.

LE AUTOSLAT SYSTEM - GENERAL DESCRIPTION
General
The LE autoslat system moves the LE slats from the

extend position to the full extend position when the
airplane is near a stall condition. This helps improve
the airplane performance.
Interfaces
Two stall management computers (SMCs) calculate the

autoslat commands. Each SMC sends an autoslat signal to
the autoslat control valve. The autoslat control valve
sends hydraulic power from hydraulic system B or the
PTU system to the LE slat actuators. This causes the LE
slats to fully extend.
If the autoslat function is not available, the autoslat

fail light shows on the flight controls panel on the P5
overhead panel.
See stall warning system section for more information.

STALL WARNING SYSTEM - STALL WARNING TEST PANEL
Purpose
The test switches of stall warning test panel do a test

of the stall warning system.
Location
The stall warning test panel is on the P5 aft overhead

panel.
The stall warning test panel has two push button

switches.
Each test switch lets you do a test of the stall

warning system. If you push switch 1, you do a test of
stall warning system 1 including operation of the
control column shaker on the captain control column. If
you push switch 2, you do a test of stall warning
system 2 including operation of the control column
shaker on the first officer control column.
When you push the test switch, the stall warning system
27-32-CC-005 Rev 0 09/09/1998
does an internal test. If no faults are found, the

control column shaker operates. If faults are found,
the control column shaker does not operate. During the
test, the control column shaker operates until you
release the test switch, or a maximum of 20 seconds.
The 20 second maximum time limit prevents damage to the
motor in the control column shaker.

STALL WARNING SYSTEM - FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
General Speed Floor Stall Warning
The SMCs have two calculations for stall warning and The speed floor stall warning uses TE flap position

Stall warning is only available when the airplane is in

the air or airspeed is more than 160 knots.
Normal Stall Warning
Normal stall warning uses this data:
- Angle-of-attack
- TE flap position
- LE flap and slat asymmetry information
- Engine speed
- Airspeed.
If the angle-of-attack is too high for a specific TE

flap position, the SMYDs send a stall warning signal to
the column shakers.
The SMCs use the other data for bias calculations. If a

27-32-CC-006 Rev 0 09/09/1998
bias is active, the SMCs send a stall warning signal at

a lower angle-of-attack. The SMCs calculate all biases
simultaneously and use the highest bias. The SMYDs
subtract the highest active bias from the normal trip
point schedule to reduce the trip point.

FLIGHT CONTROLS - MULTIPLE USE SYSTEMS/ UNITS - LE TAKEOFF WARNING TEST - INTRODUCTION
General
To do the takeoff warning system test on the ground,

advance the thrust levers, put the required flight
controls to the takeoff position, and then selectively
move the flight controls to be tested to an improper
position.
Two leading edge warning test switches are added

because of the relationship of the trailing edge and
leading edge flaps.
Location
The leading edge warning test switches are on the

forward stanchion of the E3 rack, next to row 1.
The leading edge warning test switch has three

positions:
- Left leading edge test

- Normal
- Right leading edge test.
