    摘要: A lock-detecting system is configured to be installed in an aircraft to determine if a gust lock is emplaced on a flight control surface. The lock-detecting system includes at least one servo actuator and a computing device. The at least one servo actuator is associated with the flight control surface of the aircraft such that the servo actuator is configured to supply a force to a flight control surface when engaged. The computing device is configured to instruct the at least one servo actuator to actuate the flight control surface, acquire an indication that the flight control surface did not move in response to said actuation by the servo actuator, and alert a pilot to remove the gust lock from the flight control surface.

    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for aircraft spoiler lockout. One embodiment is a system that includes a locking device that removably engages a control member inside a cockpit of an aircraft. The locking device restricts motion of the control member to prevent movement of wing surfaces of the aircraft. The system further includes a controller in communication with a wireless transmitter. The controller determines from a signal sent by the wireless transmitter whether both handheld switches connected to the wireless transmitter are being actively held. If so, the controller directs a supply of power to the locking device thereby causing the locking device to temporarily release the control member. Otherwise, the locking device restricts motion of the control member.

    摘要: A selector lever with redundant detent pins and detent plates and a method for using the selector lever to test for a failure of one or more detent pins. The selector lever includes at least two slides for independently moving the detent pins within the detent plates. The independent slides allow one detent pin to remain engaged. With only one detent pin engaged, the operator may test the ability to move the shaft and conclude whether or not the detent pin has failed.

    摘要: An asymmetry brake includes a housing, a shaft, a pilot brake, a primary brake, and a ball ramp assembly. The shaft of the asymmetry brake is rotatable relative to the housing about an axis of rotation. The primary brake is movably connected with the shaft. The pilot brake is configured to selectively engage the housing to generate a triggering torque. The triggering torque is transferred through the ball ramp assembly to the primary brake, which in response engages the housing to generate a braking torque on the shaft. The disposition of the ball ramp assembly between the pilot brake and the primary brake allows the ball ramp assembly to return to an operative non-separated condition when the pilot brake is disengaged from the housing. The return of the ball ramp assembly to the operative non-separated condition allows the primary brake to disengage from the housing which releases the shaft to rotate.

    摘要: A non-jamming, fail safe flight control system with non-symmetric load alleviation capability includes a dual cable control system one for each side of control surface, like an elevator or an aileron, controlled by a pilot but driven by a driving system which allows control surfaces to even out the load from one side to the other without affecting pilots control while—if one side becomes jammed—enabling the pilot, with no extra action, to continue flying the aircraft utilizing the other side. In another embodiment an automatic lock feature ensures that a pilot is able to continue to complete the flight in case of severance of a control cable due to a discrete damage without interruption attributable to the control system. Yet another embodiment utilizing either the same or a separate locking feature enables the pilot to lock the surfaces upon parking the aircraft.

    摘要: A locking apparatus in combination with a locking pin and method for rigidly interlocking a control wheel and the rudder pedals of an aircraft is provided for securing the control surfaces of the aircraft operated by the control wheel and the rudder pedals in a stable position. The locking pin is adapted to be disposed through aligned locking pin receiving holes of the control column and the control panel collar and has a recess formed therein for lockingly receiving a portion of the control column. The locking apparatus includes a pair of control wheel retaining members rigidly connected to one end of a rod member for retainingly engaging the control wheel and a rudder pedal engaging bar rigidly connected to one end of another rod member. The rudder pedal engaging bar is positionable in a V-shaped notch of each of the rudder pedals so as to engage each of the rudder pedals and so as to secure the rudder pedal engaging bar on the rudder pedals. The rod members are disposed in a telescoping relationship with respect to one another and are adjustably securable whereby the control wheel retaining members are rigidly locked in a selected position relative to the rudder pedal retaining bar wherein the control wheel retaining members cooperate with the rudder pedal retaining bar to support the control column in a pin locking position wherein the control column is lockingly disposed in the recess of the locking pin.
