Repeat this process for as many flap stops as desired, until you reach your last intermediate flap stop (8 maximum). DO NOT
program the full down flap position. After all intermediate flap stops have been programmed, turn the unit off. Change to mode 3.
Test the flaps to see that you have programmed them properly by momentarily pressing the flap button up or down. If the flap
stops are not where you desire, repeat the flap programming steps. NOTE: If your flaps do not go all the way up, or down, you
may have installed the position potentiometer incorrectly.
FLIGHT TESTING
JUST TO KEEP YOU ALL SAFE!
We feel that it is the responsibility of Aircraft Extras, Inc. to protect all pilots. We have to assume that there will be all skill levels
of aircraft builders and pilots using our systems. This being the case, we have to make the following recommendations to keep all
of you safe during your flight testing. After all, you are using this system to automatically alter your aircraft’s flight configuration.
1.) Before flight, you should have permanently installed the FPS-Plus-nt system and programmed all flap stops utilizing
mode 5.
2.) Do not flight test the FPS-Plus-nt for the first time, unless you are at least 4000 AGL in altitude and you are familiar
with the aircraft, flight characteristics, and all emergency procedures.
3.) Make sure you know how to override the automatic adjustments of the flap made by the FPS-Plus-nt in case of
emergency. Make sure you know how to turn the FPS-Plus-nt off, and to take over manual control of the flaps.
5.) Before you fly, be sure that you test the FPS-Plus-nt (mode 3) on the ground while;
keying up each of the transmitting devices aboard the aircraft,
operating the strobe systems of the aircraft,
operating the transponder. (unit transmitting),
operating any other electrical apparatus that may interfere with the operation of the FPS-Plus-nt,
. . . . and no abnormal behavior of the flap system is noted.
6.) Ensure that all installed switches are working properly, including your manual control switches.
7.) For initial flight testing, DO NOT actuate the flaps in the air unless you are below a speed that will accept full flap
travel.
If all pre-testing was satisfactory, and there was no abnormal operation, you may proceed.
Before you take flight, put the FPS-Plus-nt in mode 3. Make sure that the LED is flashing 3 times and is RED. Test the operation
of the flaps. If all is OK, you may take-off normally and climb to 4000 AGL or some safe altitude. Test the flaps for all different
flight configurations. Once you are satisfied with the operation you may land. This concludes the flight testing.
MISCELANEOUS
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
Be prepared! Make sure that you review what needs to be done in case of a failure of the FPS-Plus-nt in flight. Put the procedures
that you create, in the aircraft manual. Create and display in the aircraft, any applicable pla cards, warnings, labels, or cautions if
applicable. After all, you are using this system to automatically alter your aircraft’s flight configuration.
