3.2.1 Flaps

There are four electromechanical flap actuators on the Eclipse 500, two per flap.
The ACS is responsible for commanding the flaps to the position selected by the pilot
using the flap selector switch on the throttle quadrant. The ACS also monitors each
actuator for actual position versus the pilot selected position, as well as monitoring
the status of each actuator for failure.
The left flap actuators receive their commands and report their status to the right
ACS, while the right flap actuators receive their commands and report their status to
the left ACS.
All actuators communicate with each other to assure flap position agreement
