The emergency flap control handle is located
on the copilot's side console.It is mechanically
linked to the flap selector valve and is used as
a manual override in the event of an electri-
cal malfunction in the flap control valve. The
handle moves vertically through three de-
tented positions: UP, DOWN, and NEUTRAL.
To operate the flaps with the emergency han-
dle, move it in the desired direction and when
the flaps reach the desired position return the
handle to neutral. •
Flap Selector Valve
The flap selector valve is located in the nose
wheel well, right side.It is a dual solenoid-op-
erated valve. Solenoid "A" is energized for
flaps up and solenoid "B" is energized for
flaps down. The two positions provide re-
versing hydraulic flow to the hydraulic motor
for flap operation. The automatic stopping
feature of the flaps is controlled by the flap fol-
lowup switch assembly. When the flaps reach
the desired position, one of the followup
switches opens the electrical circuit to deen-
ergize the respective solenoid valve. This
results in the hydraulic motor stopping and the

ELECTRICAL OPERATION Flap/Stab Warning (S11)—Flaps full up, stab
not at 1±1/4°
Power for the flap control system is supplied
by the FLAP CONT circuit breaker powered AFGCS (S l2)—Flaps any position except up,
from the ESS DC bus. Additionally, the MAN- not used
UAL FLAP CONT circuit breaker is powered
through an integral switch in the FLAP CONT
circuit breaker whenever it opens. NOTES
The control system consists of four switches
actuated by the flap control handle. Addi-
tional control comes from the flap followup
switch assembly. The assembly contains six
flap position switches and five warning
switches as well as control switches for other
aircraft systems. These switches open and
close as the flaps cycle through their range of
0 to 39°. As the flaps reach a selected position,
the drive cam opens the particular switch,
breaking•the circuit to the flap selector valve
and halting flap movement. Of the six flap
position switches, three control retraction and
three control extension.
