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.
LVDTs 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.

2.1. Hydraulic Shutoff Valves.


Six Identical Shutoff Valves.
Used to isolate flight control components from their hydraulic source during
ground maintenance.

B767/27/101
Flight controls

Shutoff Valve Control & Indication.


Six control switches located on the HYD/GEN FIELD CONT panel (P61).
The switches are intended for ground use only and are normally on.
These alternate action switches contain white on lights that are illuminated
whenever the switch is in the open position.

Left and right wing shutoff valves are mounted on a bracket between the
rear wing spar and the spoiler beam adjacent to the inbd corner of the inbd
ailerons.

Each control switch is guarded by a cover which will not close in the switch off
position (switch protruding).

Center wing shutoff valve is located on the aft bulkhead in the left wheel well.

The shutoff valve position is monitored by switch lights and EICAS messages.

Tail shutoff valves are located in the stabilizer compartment. Access is through
a service door in the bottom of the compartment, just forward of the stabilizer
jackscrew.

An amber light in the lower half of the control switch illuminates as soon as
the valve moves from the fully open position.

The left and right tail shutoff valves are located approximately midway up on
the second bulkhead ring forward of the access door.

EFFECTIVITY
ALL

An amber EICAS advisory message appears on the upper display when a


shutoff valve is not open (i. e. L WING HYD VAL).
More than one valve not open will provide a single FLT. CONT VALS
message.

3. HYDRAULIC PWR SUPPLY.


3.1. Hydraulic Distribution.
Three hydraulic systems operate power control actuators in the primary flight
control systems which include the :
- Aileron,
- Elevator,
- Rudder and
- Spoiler systems.

Roll (LCCA), pitch (elevator) and yaw (rollout guidance) autopilot actuators are
powered by each of the three hydraulic systems.
Hydraulic shutoff valves control pressure to all flight control systems except the
flaps, slats and stabilizer systems.
The ram air turbine pump in the center hydraulic system can power all center
hydraulic system flight controls except the flap and slat systems.

The secondary flight control-systems are powered by a combination of one,


two or three hydraulic systems.
- The stabilizer trim system is normally powered by the left and center
hydraulic systems.
A Power Transfer Unit (PTU) can provide right hydraulic system power to
operate the left stabilizer trim system.
- An elevator feel computer and yaw damper servo are powered by the
left hydraulic system with identical components powered by the center
hydraulic system.
- The rudder ratio changer, the leading edge slats and trailing edge flap
systems are powered by one hydraulic system.

4. CSEU.
4.1. General.
Two identical control system electronic units (CSEU) are located in the main
equipment center.
Each CSEU contains eight modules which include two power supply modules
(PSM) and six operating modules.
The CSEU modules perform control, failure protection and fault indication
functions for the :
- Aileron,
- Spoiler,
- Stabilizer and,

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.
The inboard ailerons are partially lowered with the trailing edge flaps to
improve lift performance during takeoff and landing.
The outboard ailerons are locked out during high speed flight to reduce roll
sensitivity.
The inboard ailerons are constructed of light weight composites.
The skin is Graphite/Epoxy bonded to a core of Nomex Honeycomb.
Ribs and spars are made of aluminum.
Lower nose panels are removable for access to PCAs and linkage.
Attach points for the PCAs are at the aileron midpoint.
Four hinges attach the aileron to wing structure.
The outboard hinges are fail-safe in design for improved safety margins.
The outboard ailerons are constructed of light weight composite materials.
The skin is made of Graphite/Epoxy bonded to a core of nomex honeycomb.
Two adjustable tungsten balance weights prevent flutter if hydraulic power is
lost.
The aileron is attached to the wing structure by five hinges.
Jumpers and static dischargers provide electrostatic protection to airplane
systems.

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 LCCAs 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.

Droop Mechanism.
A droop mechanism is mounted inboard of each inboard aileron.
This mechanism lowers or droops the inboard ailerons through trailing edge
flap system operation of the aileron droop angle gearbox., The inboard and
outboard droop quadrants have overrides for the inboard and outboard
ailerons respectively.
Both inboard ailerons are lowered (drooped) to improve lift when the trailing
edge flaps are extended.
The droop mechanism is mechanically operated by the aileron droop -angle
gearbox as the flaps extend between up and 5 units causing the inboard
ailerons to lower 10.
As the flaps are raised, the ailerons return to the neutral position.
Extending the flaps from 25 to 30 units causes the inboard ailerons to retract
approximately 5.

B767/27/101
Flight controls

The outboard ailerons are locked out at high speed to reduce roll control
sensitivity about the longitudinal axis of the airplane.
An aileron lockout mechanism is mounted on the wing rear spar, inboard of
each outboard aileron.
The mechanism is operated by an electric actuator which positions linkages to
prevent quadrant rotation from operating the control rod to the PCAs.
The lockout actuators are electronically controlled by stabilizer trim aileron
lockout modules using speed inputs from the air data computers.
Unlocked.
Quadrant operation moves the idler lever which operates the drag link and
the output crank to provide control rod output to the outboard aileron Power
Control Actuator (PCA) control valves.
Locked.
Extension of the lockout actuator pulls on the actuator link which moves pivot
point All on the idler link over pivot point B.
This moves the control rod and the outboard aileron to the neutral position.
Quadrant operation causes the idler link to pivot only on point A without
movement of the drag link or the control rod and the outboard aileron
remains at the neutral position.

6. SPOILERS.
6.1. General
The twelve spoiler panels are operated as part of the lateral control system or
as speedbrakes.
When operated by aileron system input for lateral or roll control they are
raised on one wing and lowered on the other.
When operated by speedbrake mechanism inputs, to reduce lift and increase
drag for descent and landing operations, they are raised on both wings.

Indication.
Spoiler system faults cause and a maintenance message to be displayed. Faults
causing auto shutdown of a panel pair cause display of the amber SPOILERS
light and an advisory message.
Addition fault information is available from the built in test function of the
SCM.

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.

6.2. System Operation.


6.2.1. General.
Spoilers deploy as a function of control wheel deflection, speedbrake lever
position, flap position, air/ground logic and aileron lockout logic.
Each symmetrical pair of spoilers is controlled by a spoiler control module
(SCM).
Each spoiler is driven by a power control actuator (PCA).
The output of each SCM and the feedback from the pair of PCAs being
controlled by that SCM form a closed loop electrohydraulic servocontrol
system.

B767/27/101
Flight controls

The actuator positions the LVDT pairs and speedbrake operation is


accomplished through the SCMs as discussed above.
Ground speedbrake deployment travel is determined by internal SCM
programs.
All three hydraulic systems are used for spoiler system operation.
Flap position, air/ground and aileron lockout discretes are used for panel
programming by the SCMs.
Faults are annunciated on the EICAS displays and overhead P5 panel.
Additional fault information is available using the SCM built in test function.

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.

Automatic Operation.
Speedbrakes may be deployed automatically after the airplane lands.
When all arming conditions are met, an auto speedbrake actuator extends and
drives the pivot shaft through a no-back clutch.
The clutch allows the pilot to override the actuator at any time.
Automatic deployment requires the speedbrake lever in the armed position,
thrust levers less than 8.5 from idle stop, and the airplane on the ground.
If the lever is not in the armed position, movement of either reverse thrust
lever into reverse will ARM the system provided the other arming conditions
are satisfied.
If a forward thrust lever is advanced beyond 8.5 from its idle stop, the auto
speedbrake actuator will retract and return the spoilers to the down position.
A switch cam monitors speedbrake lever position to activate the arming switch
and the lever-position switch (takeoff configuration) .
The cam also has a detent at the ARMED position for pilot feel.
Reverse thrust linkage will lift the speedbrake lever out of the down detent
and actuate the reverse thrust switch to arm the auto speedbrake actuator.

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.

7.3. Rudder System Description.


7.3.1. General.
Rudder Pedals.
Pilot movement of the rudder pedals drives the aft quadrant assembly with a
pair of cables.
Maximum pedal movement drives the aft quadrant against the mechanical
stop and moves the rudder 26.5 in each direction at low airspeed and no air
load.
Autopilot.
Autopilot inputs cause the three directional rollout autopilot servos to drive
the aft quadrant assembly.
Autopilot inputs are provided in the autoland mode only and can command
the rudder to approximately 23 Inputs backdrive the cable system to provide
input to rudder pedal steering.

B767/27/101
Flight controls

Ratio Changer.
The ratio changer mechanism provides a means of controlling the inputs to
the PCAs by varying the input to the PCAs based on airspeed.
The ratio changer actuator is controlled by rudder ratio changer modules.
At the high speed position the ratio changer mechanism limits rudder
movement to a maximum of 2.15.
Power Control Actuators (PCA).
Three PCAs move the rudder each using a different hydraulic system.
The left hydraulic system pressure to the middle PCA passes through the ratio
changer actuator.
If the ratio changer function is failed, the middle PCA is depressurized.
Each PCA has an override in the input linkage to its control valve.
Primary Control Path.
A crush core load limiter prevents damage to the primary control path in the
event of a system jam.

Trim.
Trim inputs from the flight deck control switch drive the aft quadrant assembly
and provide a maximum rudder movement of 16.8.
Trim operation backdrives the cables and rudder pedals.

Secondary Control Path.


A spring override is provided in the yaw summing linkage to prevent damage
to the secondary control path in the event of a system jam and to eliminate
backlash of the dual path linkage.

Yaw Damper.
Yaw damper inputs from two servos operate the yaw damper summing
mechanism.
These inputs are summed with other rudder control inputs.
Yaw damper inputs do not backdrive the cable system.
Each servo has a maximum authority of approximately 3 of rudder travel.
There are shear rivets in the yaw damper servo output to the rudder control
system.

A temperature compensating linkage, forward of the vertical stabilizer rear


spar, functions to null control inputs from thermal expansion differences
between control rods and fin structure.

The knob must be rotated more than 25 to complete the circuit to the
actuator.

When the landing gear is extended, hydraulic pressure is available to the nose
wheel steering system.
Rudder trim operation can then turn the nose wheels.

The actuator stroke is controlled by internal limit switches in the actuator


motor.
The actuator provides a trim authority of 67 percent of full rudder control
resulting in 16.8 of rudder movement at low speed.
The duty cycle of the trim motor is 30 seconds operation followed by 3
minutes cooling.
Trim Indication.
The rudder trim indicator is driven by a rotary variable differential transformer
(RVDT) in the trim actuator.
A pointer shows the rudder trim position in units.
Full rudder trim should be indicated by a minimum of 14 units.
An adjusting screw is on the aft side of the aileron/rudder control module to
zero the pointer with the rudder centered and the feel, centering and trim
mechanism rollers in the cam detent.
Loss of power to the trim indicator causes the pointer to move off scale.
The RVDT is not line replaceable.

7.5. Yaw Damper System.


7.5.1. General.
The yaw damper system provides automatic rudder control to improve airplane
ride quality, dampen gust load on the vertical stabilizer, dampen undesirable
sideslip and roll (Dutch roll) and coordinate turns.
The yaw damper system includes two Yaw Damper Modules (YDM) each
controlling a yaw damper servo actuator.
The system uses inputs from the Air Damper Computers (ADC), the Inertial
Reference Units (IRU), servo actuator LVTs, modal suppression accelerometers
(installed on 767-300 only) and air/ground relays to command rudder
movement.
Pressure switches in the left and center hydraulic systems input for fault
detection and indication.

B767/27/101
Flight controls

Controls & Indications.


Two yaw damper control switches are located on the yaw damper control
panel.
The switches control engage power to the YDMs and to the yaw damper servo
actuators.
When a system is inoperative or during test, an INOP amber light illuminates in
the switch and an advisory L (R) YAW DAMPER message appears on EICAS.
A test switch is located on the P61 panel allows testing of the yaw damper
system on the ground.
Yaw Damper Modules.
The YDMs command rudder movement and monitor yaw damper for faults.
Failures are detected by automatic BITE and are stored in the module memory
for ground recall.
Faults are recalled with YDM face plate buttons and are indicated by displaying
messages on a 12 character LED display.

Movements of the yaw damper servos are summed by a summing lever before
transfer to the yaw summing mechanism which commands the rudder.
When both yaw damper servos are operative in flight, maximum yaw damper
input to the rudder is approximately 6 in each direction.
When one servo is operative, maximum rudder movement is approximately 3.
The maximum amount of rudder command available for yaw damping
depends on airspeed and the number of ADC and IRU supplying data.

8. ELEVATOR.
8.1. General
Two inboard and two outboard elevators are connected by hinges to the
horizontal stabilizer rear spar. The inboard and outboard elevator on each side
are connected together by connecting links and operate as a single unit.
The outboard elevator is permanently rigged faired with the inboard elevator.
Movement of the elevator provides primary control on the airplane pitch about
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.

Fault Indication.
The only elevator system fault indicated in the flight compartment is a fault
of a feel computer output pressure. This fault is indicated by an ELEV FEEL
message on the status and maintenance pages of EICAS.
Elevator Position.
Elevator positions are shown on the lower left corner of the EICAS status
pages.

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 PCAs.
The PCAs 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 PCAs.
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.

8.2. System Description.


8.2.1. Elevator Schematic.
The elevator control system is commanded by fore and aft movement of either
control column, autopilot servos and stick nudger.
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
actuators (PCA). The two paths can be separated in case of a jam by overrides
at the column torque tubes and at the aft quadrants.

B767/27/101
Flight controls

An override, mounted on the stabilizer compartment aft bulkhead, allows the


elevator system to operate in case of a jam in the feel and centering unit.
The three PCAs on each side are commanded by the input control rod
positioned by the aft quadrant torque tubes. They are powered by separate
hydraulic system. Elevator movement is displayed on the EICAS status page
responding to position transmitter input.
The slave cable interconnect mechanism receives input from the elevator
movement through a lost motion device and two overrides. The mechanism
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.


The elevator feel computer generates two variable hydraulic pressures based
on pitot pressure and horizontal stabilizer position. The variable pressures
provide feel forces at the elevator columns and operate the rate control valve
of the Stabilizer Trim Control Modules (STCM).

B767/27/101
Flight controls

If a jam occurs in the right elevator controls, the captain feels one half of the
hydraulic feel force, none of the mechanical feel force, and the override forces
at the column and aft quadrant overrides.
If a jam occurs in the left elevator controls, the first officer feels the same force
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.

8.3. Position Indication.


8.3.1. Elevator System Travel.
Maximum travel of elevator is limited by internal stops in the PCAs.
The control column stops and aft elevator quadrant stops provide backup
elevator travel limitation after cable stretch. With no air load, the elevator can
move a maximum of 28.5 up and 20.5 down with a full forward and aft
movement of the control column.
The elevator displacement is measured by the distance between the inboard
elevator trailing edge and the reference point on the index plate riveted on the
airplane tail cone with the stabilizer set at 2 units. At maximum travel of the
elevator, these measurements are 33.7 in up and 24.5 in down.
The maximum movement of the elevator in autopilot mode depends upon the
number of flight control computers engaged. In single autopilot,
the maximum authority is 8.3 up and down. In multiple autopilot, the
maximum authority is 28 up and 20 down.

EFFECTIVITY
ALL

8.3.2. Elevator Position Transmitter.


The elevator position transmitter is mounted on the inboard side of the
horizontal stabilizer on both sides of the airplane. The transmitter is powered
by 28V AC and supplies a signal to the EICAS computers to display the
elevator position pointers on the status page.
Transmitter Failure.
If a transmitter is failed, its position pointer is not shown on the status page.
The elevator operation must be visually checked for each dispatch of the
airplane. Full elevator movement on the ground should move the pointer to or
past the up or down mark on the status page.
Transmitter Replacement.
The replacement procedure of the elevator position transmitters is the same as
the ailerons transmitters. The transmitter is installed with the stabilizer set at 2
units and the elevator faired. The transmitter is adjusted to obtain a signal of
less than 50 millivolts by the null adjusting sleeve on the control rod.
The transmitter can also be adjusted by centering the pointer on the status
page.

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.

General Description.
Pitch trim of the airplane occurs when the stabilizer is moved leading edge up
or down.
Hydraulic power drives a ballscrew, attached to the stabilizer center section
front spar, which causes it to rotate about aft hinges that are connected to
fuselage structure.

B767/27/101

SAM.
These modules get signals from the pilot, flight control computer (FCC) and air
data computer (ADC).
Using these inputs they control all modes of stabilizer operation except for
alternate electric trim.
In this mode signals are sent directly to the STCMs.

Power is supplied from the left and center hydraulic systems to two stabilizer
trim control modules (STCM).
Flow from these modules to two hydraulic motors is controlled by electrical
inputs.
Airspeed changes sensed by a elevator feel computer modifies trim rate.

Limit Switch & Position Transmitter Modules (3).


The modules are designated left, right and center and are driven by cables
when the stabilizer moves.
They contain limit switches and position transmitters that set maximum
stabilizer travel and provide the indication of stabilizer movement.
Outputs from the modules are sent to three flap/stabilizer position modules
(FSPM) that return signals to SAM and the FCC.

Manual Electric Trim.


When either pilot moves the arm and control trim switches on the control
wheel, inputs go through both SAMs to both STCMs.

Electric Alternate Trim Control.


Two electric alternate trim switches, on the control stand, directly power the
CONTROL & ARM solenoid valves of both STCMs.

The arm signal is directed through cutoff switches, controlled by elevator


column movement, and limit switches.
These switches are in the left/right position transmitter modules that are cable
driven by stabilizer movement.
Trim rate is maximum in this mode.
Autoflight Trim.
FCC auto stabilizer trim results from elevator inputs to the selected FCC.
When this occurs auto trim signals are sent to one SAM.
The control and arm outputs that result use the same path as described under
manual electric trim.
If the pilot or FCC is not making a trim input, mach trim circuits in the SAM
will control trim operation using AIDC inputs.
Trim rate in these modes is half a maximum as only one STCM is controlling
one hydraulic motor/brake combination.

Stabilizer Position Dimensions.


The position of the horizontal stabilizer is checked by measuring a dimension
A between the upper stop and the ball nut.
The table shows dimensions relative to three basic referenence positions,
electric limit and green band measurements are shown in the maintenance
manual.
The dimensions will vary depending on model and engine type.

Travel Limits.
Travel limiting devices control the range of stabilizer movement in all operating
modes.
Upper and lower mechanical stops limit the stabilizer travel at each end of the
range.
In the electrical control mode, limit switches prevent stabilizer travel beyond
that required by the normal flight envelope.
The upper limit in the SAM electrical mode is provided at 0.25 units with the
flaps extended and 1.5 units with the flaps retracted.
The lower limit is provided at 12.8 units.
Stabilizer trim limits for takeoff are between 0.25 units and 7.0 units.
These limits are indicated by a green band on the pilots stabilizer position
indicators.
Three painted marks on the fuselage indicate stabilizer position.

9.5. Trim System.


9.5.1. Manual Electric Trim Switches.
A set of dual switches, located in each pilots wheels, controls stabilizer trim in
the manual electric mode.
Each switch set provides manual electric ARM and CONTROL trim signals to
both STCMs through both SAMS.
The switches can be moved up or down and are spring loaded to the OFF
neutral position.
Operation.
When the switches on either wheel are moved together in an up or down
direction, 28V DC power is directed through each SAM to the appropriate
solenoids on each STCM.
The auto manual transfer relays in each SAM are released during manual trim.
When one FCC is engaged, the relays in both SAMS are energized allowing
the auto trim commands of the SAM in of control to power the solenoid
valves its dedicated STCM.
If a manual electric trim command is made, coincidence monitors in the SAMS,
inhibit the auto trim mode, disengage the FCC, and de-energize, both automanual relays.
Now the manual electric trim command takes priority over auto trim.
When there is multi channel FCC lays in engagement, the auto transfer relay
in both SAMS are energized allowing auto trim commands from the SAM in
control to power the solenoid valves of its dedicated STCM.
If a manual electric trim command is then made, the coincidence monitor
signals inhibiting the auto trim mode are ignored by the FCCs.
The relays remain energized disabling the control of the manual electric trim
switches.

EFFECTIVITY
ALL

9.5.2. Auto Trim.


Auto trim control of the stabilizer occurs when one or more FCC is engaged.
The left FCC commands the left SAM and the right FCC commands the right
SAM.
The center FCC commands either the left or the right SAM depending on
which SAM is initialized first.
Operation.
A selected FCC sends an ARM signal to its corresponding SAM.
When it receives a VALID signal from the SAM, the FCC engages.
The engaged FCC provides a trim command to the SAM when the elevator is
deflected out of its neutral position.
Single Channel FCC.
During single channel operation, one FCC is engaged and commands
its corresponding SAM. The auto-manual transfer relays are energized in
both SAMS. The FCC provides an auto trim command when the elevator is
deflected for more 4 seconds. The stabilizer then moves at half rate speed to
new trim position.
Multiple Channel FCC.
During multiple channel operation, two or three FCCs are engaged.
The FCC (first engaged) provides trim commands to its SAM, immediately,
when the elevator is deflected out of its neutral position.
The stabilizer moves at half rate speed.
If a failure occurs on the 767-300 that results in autoland 3 (three FCCs
engaged) defaulting to autoland 2 (two FCCs engaged), the remaining FCC
not controlling trim engages the SAM not previously performing the auto trim
function.
The two FCCs command the two SAMS to trim simultaneously resulting in the
stabilizer moving at full rate. This full speed trim permits quick retrimming of
the airplane for go-around during a missed approach.

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.

10. FLAPS & SLATS.


10.1. General
High Lift Devices.
The high lift devices include the trailing edge flap and leading edge slat
systems.
The high lift devices are extended to improve wing lift and drag characteristics
for takeoff and landing operations and to provide increased stall operating
margins.

The leading edge slats have three positions of retracted (up), intermediate
(takeoff /sealed) , extended (landing/ gapped) and operate between lever,
or switch, positions of up to one and 20 to 25.
The alternate position selector switch has a NORM (normal) position which
does not provide an output command.
This is a safety position to prevent inadvertent alternate drive operation in
event either arm switch is actuated and flap or slat position disagrees with the
selector switch.

There are four trailing edge flaps which have six operating positions.
The inboard flaps have main and aft sections and are double slotted when
fully extended.
The outboard flaps have one section and are always single slotted when
extended.
There are five outboard and one inboard slat surfaces on each wing.
The slats are numbered from the left to the right wingtip.
The slats extend from the top of the wing and have three positions.
A Krueger seal flap extends from the bottom of each wing between the
inboard slat and the engine strut to reduce drag with the slats extended.
The flaps and slats are controlled by the flap control lever during primary
(hydraulic motor) operation and by the alternate flap selector and arm
switches during alternate (electric motor) operation.
Alternate operation is about six times slower than normal operation.
The flap lever and alternate position selector switch have positions showing
units of trailing edge flap extension.
The trailing edge flaps are retracted at both the up and one positions of the
lever or switch.

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 nonnormal 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.

Flap control lever, or load relief actuator, operation of the power drive unit
(PDU) control unit input cam, moves the control valve module control valve
from the null position.
Center hydraulic system pressure is then provided to the hydraulic motor
through the control valve module bypass valve.
Flap drive shaft rotation operates the control unit follow-up cam to return the
control valve to null.
When the control valve is at null and the bypass valve is at normal, there is a
hydraulic lock on the motor to hold the gearbox and flap drive.
Hydraulic pressure to the motor can be shutoff by the Flap/Slat Shutoff Valve
module flap shutoff valve or by the bypass valve in the PDU control valve
module.
If pressure is shutoff at the Flap/Slat Shutoff Valve Module the hydraulic lock
remains on the motor. If pressure is shutoff by the bypass valve the motor can
be rotated by the gearbox.
Pressure is shutoff to the motor as follows :
- Flap/slat shutoff valve module : The flap solenoid valve is powered by
the flap/slat electronic unit (FSEU) to close the flap shutoff valve when
the flaps and flap lever are up or, on extension, until the leading edge
slats have moved to their intermediate position.
- Bypass valve : The bypass valve is positioned to bypass when the
alternate flap system arm switch is actuated or by the FSEU during flap
system failure.

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.

10.4.4. Flap Load Relief.


The load relief (alleviation) system prevents excessive airloads on the flaps by
automatically limiting flap extension when airspeed is too high for
flaps 25 or 30.
The system will limit flap position to a maximum of 20 units when the airspeed
equals or exceeds 172.5 knots with the flap lever at 30 units or 182.5 knots
with-the flap lever at 25 units.
Operation requires a valid airspeed input from either air data computer (ADC).
Load relief system operation is inhibited when the alternate flap system is
armed or for center flap stabilizer position module (FSPM) failure,
flap lever transmitter (RVDT) failure or loss of 28 volt ac power supply.
Load relief operation is latched after actuation and is reset by reducing
airspeed to 168.5 knots for flap extension to 30 units and to 178.5 knots for
extension to 25 units.
Airspeed must be valid from either ADC to reset.
If both ADC inputs are invalid the latches can be reset by moving the flap
lever to 25 or 20 units.
A trailing edge amber light and a FLAP LOAD RELIEF advisory message will
illuminate if the system fails when load relief is required.
Disagreement annunciation between flap lever and flap position and the flap
failure protection shutdown system are inhibited during load relief operation.
Load relief operation is controlled by Section 1 of the flap slat electronic unit
(PSEU), fault annunciation is controlled by Section 2.

ALL

10.4.5. Flap Disagree.


The FSEU provides a TE FLAP DISAGREE caution alert message and TRAILING
EDGE amber light when the flap drive is not in the commanded position and
the applicable time delay has expired.
Different time delays provide for different operating times between flap
positions and between the hydraulic and electric motors.
Normal Operation.
During normal flap system operation the hydraulic motor is controlled using
the flap lever.
The flap slat electronic unit (FSEU) Section 2 compares flap lever position to
flap drive position from a flap stabilizer position module (FSPM).
A disagreement is inhibited if the slats are less than takeoff,
load relief is operating, a slat or flap power drive unit (PDU) is moving towards
the lever position, an asymmetry condition exists or the alternate drive system
is armed.
Alternate Operation.
During alternate flap system operation the electric motor is controlled using
the alternate flap position selector switch.
When the alternate flap arm switch is armed the FSEU compares the position
selector switch to flap drive position from the FSPM.
If the arm switch is armed for seven seconds with the position selector switch
in NORM the message and light are illuminated to indicate both normal and
alternate systems are disabled.
The TRAILING EDGE amber light is also illuminated if a flap asymmetry
condition is detected or the flap load relief system fails to operate when
activated.

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.

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).

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.

10.5.5. Slat Asymmetry and Failure Protection Shutdown.


Asymmetry Protection Shutdown :
- An asymmetry condition detected by the proximity switch electronic
unit (PSEU), in the inboard or outboard slat systems, is signaled to the
flap slat electronic unit (FSEU) for protective shutdown.
The asymmetry signal is latched in the FSEU and annunciated until the
signal is removed by the PSEU.
If the flap lever is moved with a latched asymmetry, the FSEU energizes
the inboard or outboard slat fail protection and asymmetry relay to
bypass the hydraulic motor.
The shutdown and asymmetry annunciation are latched and will not
reset if the PSEU removes the asymmetry signal.
Cycling the alternate slat arm switch on and off will reset the
asymmetry shutdown latch,
de-energize the fail relay, and energize the bypass valve normal
relay to restore hydraulic motor operation and clear the asymmetry
annunciation.
Failure Protection Shutdown :
- The FSEU compares the flap lever and power drive unit (PDU)
transmitters (RVDTs) to detect uncommanded movement of the inboard
or outboard slat systems.
If the slats are moving away from the flap lever position, the FSEU
operates the fail relay to bypass the hydraulic motor.
The failure shutdown latch can be reset by cycling the alternate slat
arm switch to de-energize the fail relay, energize the normal relay and
restore hydraulic motor operation.
The latch also resets when the flap lever is up and the slats are
retracted.

EFFECTIVITY
ALL

10.5.6. Slat Disagree.


The proximity switch electronic unit (PSEU) compares slat position signals from
proximity sensors at each slat with flap lever or alternate flap position selector
switch position inputs from the flap slat electronic unit (FSEU) to detect a slat
disagreement.
Operation.
When the flap lever is moved during primary drive slat system operation or the
alternate flap position selector switch is moved during alternate operation,
the PSEU sends a disagree signal to the FSEU.
When the proximity sensors show agreement with slat command the PSEU
removes the disagree signal.
A PSEU disagree input is inhibited in the FSEU when any of the following
conditions exist.
- Either inboard or outboard slat PDU is moving toward the flap lever or
alternate flap position selector switch position (command) in primary or
alternate operation.
- The flap drive is moving toward the flap lever position in primary
operation.
- The slats are commanded up in primary or alternate operation and the
flaps are not retracted.
- A slat asymmetry condition exists.
If the PSEU disagree signal is present after the inhibits are removed, the FSEU
causes display of the LEADING EDGE light and LE SLAT DISAGREE caution
message after ten seconds.

- Level B caution and SPEED BRAKE EXT message.
Conditions Monitored.
Landing gear position from the PSEU.
Slat position from the PSEU.
Flap position from the center flap/stab position module.
Altitude from the radio altimeter in the E5 rack.
Thrust lever position from the autothrottle switch pack
Speedbrake position from a spoiler control module (speedbrake LVDT).
Signal Processing.
The input signals are processed by the landing configuration warning module
located in the warning electronic unit. The module may be tested by use of
the configuration test switch in the landing position.

11.4. Speedbrake Warning.


The purpose is to provide an aural and visual caution if the speedbrakes are
deployed when the airplane is between 800 feet and 15 feet altitude, or if the
speedbrakes are deployed when the aircraft is above 15 feet and the trailing
edge flaps are in the landing range.
Caution Conditions.
Whenever the speedbrake handle is advanced beyond the ARM position and
the airplane is more than 15 feet above the ground, caution annunciations
are initiated by the landing configuration warning module. The annunciations
occur under the following conditions :
- Condition 1 : Speedbrake handle beyond ARM position, radio altitude
greater than 15 feet and flaps in the landing position (25 or 30 units).
In this case, the speedbrake drag would tend to cancel much of the
extra lift created by the flaps being in the landing range.
- Condition 2 : Speedbrake handle beyond ARM position and the radio
altitude greater than 15 feet, but less than 800 feet.

Test Results.
During a speed brake test the microprocessor in the landing configuration
warning module performs an internal test to check itself and the left radio
altimeters input data bus for validity. If the test results are correct, gates 3
and 4 are enabled. This causes the SPEED BRAKE EXT EICAS message to be
displayed and the SPEED BRAKE caution light to illuminate.
The master CAUTION lights and level B caution aural are inhibited by the
EICAS during a ground test. However, these two annunciations would occur
during an in light test.
NOTE : Since other landing warning configuration module functions are also
checked during this test, the following warning annunciations will also
be generated, as previously described :
- GEAR-NOT-DOWN EICAS message (red),
- CONFIG light (red) illuminated on P1-3,
- Master WARNING lights (red) illuminated on P7,
- Siren sounds.

Test Initiation.
A speedbrake test function can be initiated in the air or on the ground by
advancing the speedbrake handle past the ARM position and then actuating
the LDG CONFIG test switch on the P61 test panel. The test annunciations
remain as long as these test conditions remain.
