Go-Around (Pitch Axis) Mode
The go-around mode is normally used to transition from an
ILS
approach to a climb out condition
when a missed approach
has occurred. The pilot selects go around by pressing the
TOGA button located on either outboard throttle handle.
With go-around selected, all armed and active flight
director modes are cancelled and the autopilot is
disengaged. The GA switch changes state, and a fixed
15-degree GA up bias is routed to the pitch command cue on
the PFD. The 15-degree angle is determined by the aircraft
manufacturer and represents the best climb angle. As the
pilot flys the GA command, pitch attitude information from
the IRS nulls the command and centers the pitch command cue
on the PFD.
(A 12-degree GA up bias is
used
in the
-906/-907 FGC).
The go-around mode is cancelled by selecting another pitch
mode, engaging TCS, or engaging the autopilot. The
go-around mode is annunciated on the PFD by a green GA.
(j) Autopilot Pitch Trim (See Figure 260, sheet 8)
There are three modes of electric trim operation available:
Manual electric trim
. Mach trim
. Autopilot trim
The trim function will control trim tab motion via digitally
processed closed-loop control laws which utilize motor rate
(tachometer) and motor position (synchro) feedbacks. Each FGC
provides excitation for its own-side trim synchro.
Trim servo travel is limited such that the trim servo does not
drive into the mechanical stops by use of the trim limit
switches in the trim servo bracket. The manual trim wheel can
be used to override the electric trim via a slip clutch (for
emergency use only).
Trim override inputs via the slip clutch
will
cause
a change
in the relative
positions
of the trim limit
switches.
Therefore,
readjustment
of the servo
linkage
may be
required
to realign
the trim
limit
switches.
When
a trim limit
is reached,
the trim
servo will
not continue
to drive
in the
current direction, however, the trim servo can be driven in the
opposite direction.
Manual Mode - The manual electric trim mode is active
whenever the electric trim is engaged with the autopilot
disengaged. This mode responds to
trim
inputs
from
the
pilot
and
copilot
yoke
mounted
trim
switches.
The maximum
trim rate shall be t2° tab/see in this mode at low
airspeeds. This speed limit shall decrease with true
airspeed increasing.
