  2. Image Upload 4 
    What does the green color represent?
    LED in extend or full extend position
  3. Image Upload 6
    What is wrong if the if all lights are extinguished?
    Nothing
  4. Image Upload 8
    Why do the leading edge flaps have only two positions on the annunciator?
    There are only two positions:  retracted or extended
  5. Image Upload 10
    Why do the leading edge flaps have three positions on the annunciator?
    There are three positions:  retracted, extended or full extended
  6. Image Upload 12
    When might a green light be an indication of an abnormal condition?
    LED jammed or in an improper/uncommanded position
  7. If the annunciator panel was inoperative, where could you monitor the LEDs in transit?
    Forward instrument panel LE FLAPS IN TRANSIT light

    Image Upload 14
  8. Is autoslat movement displayed on the LED annunciator panel?
    Yes
  9. Image Upload 16 
    Is autoslat movement displayed on the LE FLAPS IN TRANSIT light on the center forward panel?
    No, this light is inhibited during autoslat operations
  10. Do the LED annunciator lights test with the MASTER lights test switch on the forward panel?
    Yes
  11. At what flap settings do the slats move to the EXTEND position?
    1,2,5
  12. At what flap setting do the leading edge flaps move to FULL EXTEND?
    Flaps 1 or greater
  13. At what flap settings do the slats move to the FULL EXTEND position?
    Flaps 10 or greater
  14. Why are the flap handle gates positioned at the 1 and 15 degree settings?
    Those are the go-around flap settings
  15. How are the trailing edge flaps normally operated?
    Hydraulically from System B
  16. How can the trailing edge flaps be extended if Hydraulic system B fails?
    Electrically through the alternate flaps position switch
  17. Image Upload 18
    What happens when the ALTERNATE FLAPS switch is moved from OFF to ARM?
    Standby hydraulic pump activates

    Alternate flap position switch activates

    Trailing edge flap bypass valve closes
  18. Image Upload 20
    Can the trailing edge flaps be retracted with the ALTERNATE FLAPS position switch?
    Yes
  19. What features are not available during alternate flap operation?
    Asymmetry and skew protection
  20. Image Upload 22
    What happens to the leading edge devices when the ALTERNATE FLAPS position switch is actuated?
    All leading edge devices go to full extend
  21. Image Upload 24
    Can leading edge devices be retracted if the ALTERNATE FLAPS position switch is actuated?
    No
  22. Image Upload 26
    Does the ALTERNATE FLAPS position switch have to be held until the leading edge devices arrive at the desired position?
    No, it is a momentary switch.  All LEDs go to full extend.
  23. Image Upload 28
    Does the ALTERNATE FLAPS position switch have to be held until the trailing edge flaps arrive at the desired position?
    Yes
  24. Image Upload 30
    Does the ALTERNATE FLAPS position switch have to be held in order to retract the flaps?
    No, it is held magnetically
  25. What is the ALTERNATE FLAPS duty cycle for flaps 1 to 15?
    5 minutes OFF
  26. What is the ALTERNATE FLAPS duty cycle for flaps greater than 15?
    25 minutes OFF
  27. Image Upload 32
    What can be determined by the trailing edge flap position indicator?
    Flap position, asymmetry or skew
  28. Image Upload 34 
    What electrical power is required for the trailing edge flap position indicator to function?
    AC power (transfer bus #2)
  29. Image Upload 36
    How would you be able to determine that an asymmetric flaps situation exists?
    Split indicator needles
  30. Image Upload 38
    What does #12 indicate?
    Illuminated (amber) –

    -indicates failure of the auto slat system

    -indicates failure of a single Stall Management/Yaw Damper (SMYD) computer when illuminated during MASTER CAUTION recall and extinguishes when master caution system is reset.
