ELEVATOR CONTROL -ELEVATOR PCU -FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION -PCU MODES
General
The ACEs control the mode of operation of the elevator PCU.
Normal Mode
An elevator PCU operates in the normal mode when there is no failure on the PCU and there is no failure of its on-side ACE.
If the adjacent PCU is also in the normal mode, the ACEs energize both coils of the blocking solenoid and the pressure reducer solenoid. When these conditions are true, both PCUs operate with reduced hydraulic pressure.
Bypass Mode
If the PCU has an electrical or hydraulic failure or there is a failure of its ACE, the ACE de-energizes the bypass solenoid. The PCU is then in the bypass mode. The ACE also de-energizes the pressure reducer solenoid of the adjacent PCU. The adjacent PCU then operates in normal mode with full hydraulic system pressure.
When the elevator position is less than two degrees from neutral with flaps retracted, or five degrees with flaps extended, it is near to being faired. When the elevator is near to being faired, the ACE also de-energizes one coil of the blocking solenoid on the failed and the adjacent PCU. This prepares the two PCUs to go into the blocking mode should there be a failure on the adjacent PCU or its ACE.
Blocking Mode
If there is a failure with the second PCU or its ACE when the elevator is near to being faired, all PCU solenoids de-energize. When it is not near to faired, the energized blocking solenoids on each PCU stay energized.
As soon as the airloads move the elevator panel near to faired, both blocking solenoids de-energize. At this time, a hydraulic lock in the PCUs keeps the elevator in the faired position.

ELEVATOR CONTROL -ELEVATOR ASSEMBLY
Purpose
The elevators supply short-term pitch control of the airplane.
Physical Description
The elevators are light weight composite material structures. The skin is reinforced graphite/epoxy bonded to a core of Nomex honeycomb. The overall dimensions are approximately 70 inches by 403 inches (1.7 m by 10.2 m). Each elevator panel weighs approximately 327 lb (148 kg).
The elevator attaches to the stabilizer rear spar with seven hinges. There are four PCU attach fittings on each elevator. Jumpers and static dischargers supply electrostatic protection.
Functional Description
The elevator surface deflection limits are at the PCU internal stops. The elevators have a maximum movement of 33 degrees trailing edge up (TEU) and 27 degrees trailing edge down (TED) under no load conditions.
Under load conditions, the maximum PFC and ACE command signals move the elevators to a nominal position between 30 degrees TEU and 25 degrees TED. You adjust the elevator PCUs on the ground with the stabilizer at the neutral position. You adjust the PCUs so the elevator control surfaces are at neutral in reference to an index plate on the tail section of the fuselage.
