PITCH AXIS MALFUNCTION
A nose-up pitch axis malfunction or nose-up pitch trim system runaway can
result
in
extremely high pitch attitudes, heavy airframe buffet, and require
control forces
in
excess of
75
pounds
for
recovery.
A nose-down pitch axis malfunction, nose-down pitch trim system runaway.
or nose-down overspeed can result
in
extremely high airspeeds and require
control forces
in
excess
of
75
pounds
for
recovery.
A binding elevator
is
evidenced
by
difficulty
in
mOving
the control column
when making manual pitch changes.
•
Do
not extend spoilers during any nose-down pitch
upset at any speed due to significant nose-down
pitching moment associated with spoiler
deploy-
ment.
• On any speed excursion beyond
MMO,
the elevator
control must be smoothly and steadily applied to
pre-
vent encountering excessive aileron activity and
air-
frame buffet. Beyond
MMO.
a
1.5
g pull-up may
be
sufficient
to
excite aileron activity and the g level
must be limited to that required to maintain lateral
control.
Control pressures may be
heavy. Copilot assistance
is
recommended with this procedure.
