Flaperon Mix
Important: Flaperon mix values are based on a
percentage of the value programmed in Flap Rate (see
page 21). If no values are programmed in flap rate
(default setting) then flaperon mix values will have no
effect. It’s recommended that the flap rate values be
programmed first before programming camber or reflex
mix values. Also be aware that whenever changing flap
rate values, the travel of these camber or reflex mix
settings will also be affected.
Flaperon mix allows the independent adjustment of
flaperon (ailerons up and down) and elevator with the
lever that camber mix is assigned to (flap lever on the
left or Aux 3 lever on the right) in Device Select (pg. 5)
for each of the flight modes. An offset is provided that
allows pilots to choose the neutral position for the side
lever. Some pilots prefer the lever’s neutral position be
in the center position when the trailing edge is at neutral
(offset at 0). This offers the advantages of being able to
add camber (trailing edge down) or reflex (trailing edge
up) in each flight mode using the side lever. Some
pilots prefer the neutral position to be in the lever up
position. (Offset +170)
To access flaperon mix, in FUNC.LIST rotate the
Selector until Flaprn MX is highlighted. Press the
Selector to access the Flaperon Mix menu. Rotate the
Selector to highlight the desired value then press the
Selector to access this value. With the flight mode
switch in the corresponding mode, move the
programmed side lever to the appropriate position and
adjust the value to the desired position. Press the
Selector to store the value. Repeat the process for all
flight modes. Press the LIST button to return to the
Function Mode screen.
Note: The Offset value determines the point at which
the side lever changes from the up value to the down
value. If the desired lever neutral position is in the
middle a 0 value is needed. This will allow up and down
FPRN and ELEV values to the programmed. If an up
lever position is desired then the offset value of +170 is
used. This will allow only the down values to be
operational.
