27-51-00  FLAP CONTROL SYSTEM Back

A. System Function

The flap control system (the system) controls the operation of the flap actuation system (Ref. 27-52-00).

B. System Components

The system has these primary components (Ref. Fig. 1 thru Fig. 7), the
  • Two flap position transducers
  • Electronic Flap-Control Unit (EFCU)
  • Flap selector switch
  • Flap position indicator
  • Flap test switch

C. System Operation

The EFCU compares input signals from the flap selector switch and the flap position transducers. When there is a difference between the signals, the EFCU sends a signal to energize the solenoids of the hydraulic control unit. The flaps then move until the selector and position signals become the same and the extend/ retract signal stops. The system also gives warning and system fault indication.
