Flappy Flaperon

Featured Replies

I know PMDG has modelled this behaviour but what is it?

 

at take off, the flaperon goes full up and full down as the plane spools up to speed down the runway

That's bypass mode (where hydraulic pressure is removed) to prevent fatigue on the actuator until 80 to 100 knots (unsure of the exact number, I'm sure PMDG knows). After that it enters back into its "normal" flight control logic as a flaperon.
