INTRODUCTION
This chapter deals with the flight controls of the Canadair Challenger CL-600-2B16, model
CL-601-3A/R. The hydraulically powered primary flight control surfaces are operated
by pilot inputs from the control columns, control wheels, and rudder pedals. The flight
controls can also be operated by dual autopilot controls for automatic flight guidance
and yaw stability.
Trim in the pitch, roll, and yaw axes is electrically actuated. There are no trim tabs on
any control surface. Trimming is accomplished by varying the loads on the mechanical
linkages between the pilot and the control surface.
A lift modulation system consists of electrically actuated flaps and hydraulically pow-
ered flight and ground spoilers.
A stall protection system warns of impending stalls by visual, aural, and tactile means.
If no pilot action is taken, it activates a stick pusher.
