Roll control in NORMAL LAW is achieved with: Ailerons, spoilers 2-5 and rudder. Ailerons, spoilers and rudder. Ailerons and spoilers.

The purpose of the Load Alleviation Function is to: two statements are correct. Relieve wing structure loads by extending spoilers 4 and 5. Relieve wing structure loads by moving the ailerons.

With the aircraft in Pitch Alternate Law, roll is in _____ Law. Direct. Normal. Alternate.

When the landing gear is extended, pitch alternate law: Degrades to pitch direct law. Degrades to pitch backup law. Remains the same.

In Pitch Alternate Law; the low Speed stability (nose down command) can be overridden by the sidestick. True. False.

In the event of a complete loss of electrical flight control signals, the airplane reverts to a _______ mode. Mechanical. Alternate Law. Alternate law. Abnormal Attitude law.

To select speed brakes inflight: Push down on the speed brake handle and move it aft. Pull up on the speed brake handle and move it aft. Push down on the speed brake handle and move it forward.

Which of the following statements is correct concerning the spoiler elevator computers (SEC's)?. Three computers which achieve spoiler control and standby elevator and THS control. Three computers which achieve spoiler control and normal elevator and THS control. Two computers which achieve spoiler control and standby elevator and THS control.

Which of the following statements are correct concerning the side stick takeover push button?. Both are correct. If the a takeover push button is depressed for more than 40 seconds, the onside system will retain priority after the push button is released. The last pilot to depress the push button has priority.

The autopilot will disconnect if the side stick takeover push button is depressed. True. False.

Are there any control surfaces with a mechanical backup?. Yes, the THS and the rudder. No, there aren't any control surfaces with mechanical backup. Yes, the spoilers. Yes, the airlerons.

What control surfaces do the FACs control?. The rudder. All of the above. The spoilers. The elevators.

Which of the following will automatically reset after landing?. THS. Both are correct. Rudder trim.

What happens in the event of an single ELAC failure?. The functions of the failed ELAC will be assumed by the remaining ELAC. SEC functions are transferred the ELAC's. ELAC functions are transferred to FAC's. ELAC functions are transferred the SEC's.

The alpha speed lock function: Will inhibit slat retraction during an inadvertent movement of the flap selector at high AOA or low speeds. Automatically raises the flaps if retraction has not been accomplished by 210kts. Will inhibit flap retraction during an inadvertent movement of the flap selector at high AOA or low speeds.

In normal law, if one stick is rapidly pulled fully back, can the aircraft's maximum allowable "G" load be exceeded?. No. The load factor limitation overrides side stick commands to avoid excessive "G" loads. No. At Maximum "G" load, the side sticks are de-activated for 5 seconds. Yes, until maximum pitch attitude is reached. Yes. Rapid side stick deflection must never be made.

Which controls are used for the mechanical backup?. THS and rudder. THS and elevator. Elevators and airlerons. Ailerons and rudder.

Which of the following statements best describes the Load Alleviation function(LAF)?. Relieves wing structure loads by deflecting the ailerons and spoilers. Helps the pilot control the airplane. Relieve wing structure loads by deflecting only the spoilers. Relieves wing structure loads by deflecting the ailerons.

When ground spoilers deploy automatically: All ten spoiler panels fully deploy. Four spoiler panels on each wing deploy. All ten spoiler panels deploy half way. Six spoiler panels on each wing deploy.
