What is Airbus alternate law?
Alternate law 1 (ALT1) mode combines a normal law lateral mode with the load factor, bank angle protections retained. High angle of attack protection may be lost and low energy (level flight stall) protection is lost. High speed and high angle of attack protections enter alternate law mode.
What is Alpha Prot Airbus?
Alpha floor protection is an Airbus low speed protection available in Normal Law which will command full power from the engines if the system detects the aircraft is dangerously close to a stall.
What are control laws?
A control law is a mathematical formula used by the controller to determine the output u that is sent to the plant. A control law, which is usually part of the controller, takes the output of a process one wants to control as input.
What are the three main types of control?
There are three main types of internal controls: detective, preventative, and corrective.
What kind of flight control does an Airbus have?
Flight control laws (Airbus) Airbus aircraft designs after the A300/A310 are almost completely controlled by fly-by-wire equipment. These newer aircraft, including the A320, A330, A340, A350 and A380 operate under Airbus flight control laws.
What are the different laws for Airbus planes?
[Airbus FTCM, pg. 2.60.4] Normal Law provides five different protections: High Angle of Attack Protection Load Factor Protection High Pitch Attitude Protection High Speed Protection Bank Angle Protection
How are flight control modes governed by computational laws?
These are governed by computational laws which assign flight control modes during flight A flight control mode or flight control law is a computer software algorithm that transforms the movement of the yoke or joystick, made by an aircraft pilot, into movements of the aircraft control surfaces.
What do you need to know about pitch control?
Pitch control is achieved through the horizontal stabilizer by using the manual trim wheel. Lateral control is accomplished using the rudder pedals. Both controls require hydraulic power. A red MAN PITCH TRIM ONLYwarning appears on the PFD.
