What components does the fly-by-wire flight control system control?. Ailerons and elevators. Rudder and flaps. Primary flight controls, secondary flight controls, and high lift function. Thrust reversers and spoilers.

What are the three different sets of control laws in the fly-by-wire system?. Normal law, mechanical law, direct law. Normal law, alternate law, manual law. Normal law, alternate law, direct law. Primary law, secondary law, tertiary law.

Which flight control computers are responsible for implementing the normal law?. FCPCs. FCSCs. FCPCs and FCSCs. FCCs and FCSCs.

What happens to the control laws in the event of a failure in the fly-by-wire system?. They remain in the normal law. They switch from normal to manual law. They automatically switch from normal to alternate or direct law. They engage the mechanical law.

How many axes does the flight control system control?. 1. 2. 3. 4.

Which control law offers the highest level of protections?. Normal law. Alternate law. Manual law. Emergency law.

When do control laws switch from normal to alternate or direct?. When there is a failure in the FCPCs. When there is a failure in the FCSCs. When there is a failure in the primary flight controls. When there is a failure in the avionics compartment.

What happens to the control laws after the loss of normal laws?. They remain unchanged. They switch to manual law. They automatically switch from normal to alternate or direct. They engage the mechanical law.

How many Flight Control Primary Computers (FCPCs) are there in total?. 1. 2. 3. 4.

What is the function of the Backup Control Module (BCM)?. Provides artificial feel to the rudder pedals and trim function. Transmits deflection orders to other computers. Controls the yaw in case of flight control computer failures. Supplies electrical power to the rudder from hydraulically driven motors.

Which component has priority in controlling the Trimmable Horizontal Stabilizer (THS) if both electrical and mechanical controls are available?. FCSCs. THS servo-motors. Trim wheel. BCM.

How many servo controls are there for each aileron and elevator surface in normal configuration?. One. Two. Three. Four.

What is the function of the Backup Control Module (BCM) in the flight control system?. Provides artificial feel to the rudder pedals and trim function. Transmits deflection orders to other computers. Controls the yaw in case of flight control computer failures. Supplies electrical power to the rudder from hydraulically driven motors.

What is the purpose of the solenoid valve in the elevator servo control when it is in damping mode?. To pressurize the servo control. To mechanically control the servo control in its neutral position. To energize the adjacent servocontrol. To keep the servocontrol hydraulically powered.

What are the two primary functions of the Trimmable Horizontal Stabilizer (THS) in the Airbus A320 Family Aircraft?. Short-term pitch control and long-term pitch control. Roll control and yaw control. Longitudinal stability and lateral stability. Altitude hold and airspeed control.
