PCA System Operation in the Enhanced Mode
As discussed earlier, the MD-11 and DC-10 aircraft incorporate hydraulic fuses in hydraulic system 3 so that control can be maintained in case an uncontained failure in the tail engine severs all three hydraulic systems in the tail. With this control capability, a landing may be accomplished, although the lack of phugoid damping makes .ightpath control very dif.cult.
For the .ight test, this con.guration was made available by installing a switch to activate the tail hydraulic shutoff valve. Activating this switch, coupled with turning off hydraulic systems 1 and 2, effectively left the aircraft in the enhanced con.guration with no hydraulics to the elevators and rudders, and hydraulics to one-half of the stabilizer trim actuator, only one of the four ailerons, and the leading edge slats. The PCA system test in the enhanced mode was performed to see whether .ying qualities were substantially improved.
