FBW High Level Functions 4 Elevator High Level Functions – AOA Limit function – Elevator Thrust Compensation (ETC) – Column gain shaper – adjust the pilot force 4 Rudder High Level Functions – Yaw Damper & Turn Cordination (via AFCS) 4 Spoilers – Speed brake/ Ground Spoiler function – Roll Spoilers – Spoiler Mixer – combines speed-brake and roll spoiler actuation 4 Horizontal Stabilizer System – Automatic configuration trim – compensates for spoilers deployment – Elevator offload to stabilizer – to reduce trim drag THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN IS THE PROPERTY OF EMBRAER AND SHALL NOT BE COPIED OR USED WITHOUT EMBRAER’S WRITTEN CONSENT. The Angle of Attack (AOA) Limiting Function – Stall warning is provided by the Auto-flight Control System (AFCS) by means of the Stick-Shaker function; – AOA Limiting function is provided by the Flight Control Module (FCM) through a command to the elevators. – It provides an elevator variable stop continuously set by an algorithm that takes into account key variables such as actual AOA, AOA rate, aircraft configuration etc. – The Embraer 170/190 stall is defined by the pilot reaching the aft control column stop regardless of the aircraft center-of-gravity position and type of maneuver (straight, turning or accelerated stall); – This leads to uniform, repeatable, and safe flight characteristics at the edge of the flight envelope. THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN IS THE PROPERTY OF EMBRAER AND SHALL NOT BE COPIED OR USED WITHOUT EMBRAER’S WRITTEN CONSENT. AOA Limiting Function - Motivation 4 AOA limiting X Stick Pusher 4 Practical benefit - The AOA Limit allows 2 knots lower approach speed when compared to using a stick pusher 4 This allows a 1000kg increase in payload for airports like London City THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN IS THE PROPERTY OF EMBRAER AND SHALL NOT BE COPIED OR USED WITHOUT EMBRAER’S WRITTEN CONSENT.
