MAINTENANCE MANUAL
D. Elevator feel is provided by an elevator feel unit. A feel computer directs modulated hydraulic pressure to the feel unit, which then applies a resistance force in the feel unit actuator and through the common rear quadrant to simulate elevator aerodynamic centering forces. The metered feel pressure is controlled by stabilizer position and airplane pitot system pressure.
E. Hydraulic power is supplied to the elevator control system from airplane hydraulic systems No. 1, 2, 3, and 4 at a pressure of 3000 psi. Figure 3 shows the elevator hydraulic system. Left outboard elevator uses No. 1 system. Left inboard elevator uses No. 1 and 2 systems. Right inboard elevator uses No. 3 and 4 systems. Right outboard elevator uses No. 4 system. For autopilot operation, hydraulic systems No. 1, 2, and 3 supply the three elevator autopilot servo modules mounted on the stabilizer hinge bulkhead, and hydraulic systems No. 2 and 3 supply the feel computer and centering system. The elevator system hydraulic power is controlled by independent switches for each hydraulic system. These switches are common to the elevator and rudder hydraulic supply systems.
F. A position transmitter attached to each inboard and outboard elevator transmits electrical signals to the aft surface digitizer circuit card in the E8 aft electrical equipment rack to provide control surface position. This is then routed to the EICAS display screens on the flight deck (Ref 27-38-00/001).

__________________
A. Each outboard elevator consists of a conventional spar and rib frame supporting honeycomb sandwich skins. The frame members are of aluminum alloy. The front spar and ribs are built up from extruded upper and lower flange members with alclad sheet webs supported by stiffeners. The skin panels consist of fiberglass honeycomb core material contained between two 5-ply bonded surfaces of fiberglass fabric reinforced epoxy plastic. A trailing edge, also of fiberglass honeycomb bonded construction with reinforced plastic surfaces, is riveted to the rear spar. A leading edge, consisting of aluminum alloy skins supported by ribs, projects forward of the front spar. The leading edge structure supports mass balance weights.
B. Each outboard elevator attaches to the horizontal stabilizer trailing edge at six points. The major attachment is at the actuator reaction structure, where the hinge bearing is carried by support structure in the horizontal stabilizer trailing edge. At each of the remaining attachment points, which are of lighter construction, the hinge bearing is contained in a machined hinge fitting bolted to the elevator front spar. Balance weight installations (Fig. 3) project forward of the hinge line. Each supports a tungsten balance weight. The three inboard installations also provide fittings for additional adjustment weights. Eleven panels in the lower skin provide access to the interior of the elevator.
