Consider the following pairs of device and its purpose.

Balance tab - Reduce stick force

Mass balance - Prevent flutter

Bobweight - Raise stick force per g

Trim tab - Increase control effectiveness

How many of the pairs given above are correctly matched?

  • A.Only one
  • B.Only two
  • C.All four
  • D.Only three

Answer: D

The first three are correct and the fourth is not, so three match. A trim tab lets a deflection be held without force; it does not make the surface any more effective about the aeroplane's centre of gravity. Keeping the purposes straight is the core of this topic, since four devices can all sit on one surface and each addresses a different complaint: force level, force gradient with g, flutter margin and trim.
