Q.1
What type of system is classified as “Direct electric link system”?
  • a) Systems with parallel wire connection
  • b) System with serial wire connection
  • c) System with motion sensor feedback
  • d) System without motion sensor feedback
Q.2
What does FBW use to scale the control surface deflection according to the aircraft’s airspeed and height?
  • a) Air Data Computer
  • b) Flight Management System
  • c) Flight Control Computer
  • d) Autopilot system
Q.3
What is the incidence angle in the yaw plane called?
  • a) Side slip angle
  • b) Yaw angle
  • c) Crossflow angle
  • d) Angle of crosswind
Q.4
Why does an FBW system use a smaller tail area?
  • a) Bigger tails are harder to move as they produce larger wing loads
  • b) Actively controls the tail thus making up for the reduced stability due to lesser area
  • c) Tail does not contribute much to stability and its area can thus be reduced effectively
  • d) To reduce weight and drag but at a cost of natural stability
Q.5
An aircraft is negatively stable when ______
  • a) its tailplane produces negative lift (downwards)
  • b) its tailplane produces positive lift (upwards)
  • c) its tailplane does not produce lift
  • d) it is flying inverted
Q.6
A highly stable aircraft is not easily maneuverable.
  • a) True
  • b) False
Q.7
A FBW control stick is referred as _______
  • a) FBW joystick
  • b) FBW control pad
  • c) FBW inceptor
  • d) FBW analog stick
Q.8
Why are dampers an essential element in FBW inceptors?
  • a) Control aircraft stability by damping forces
  • b) Acts as a low pass filter on the stick movement
  • c) Provides accurate deflections
  • d) To prevent aircraft to carry out critical maneuvers
Q.9
FBW has the power to reject pilot inputs in extreme situations.
  • a) True
  • b) False
Q.10
What is the relation between autopilot and FBW?
  • a) FBW provides autopilot commands for roll, pitch, and yaw
