Outputs from cockpit controls are carried by mechanical linkage through the pilot assist servos to which unit?

• A. Electrical wiring directly to the MMU
• B. Wireless signals to the MMU
• C. Mechanical linkage through the pilot assist servos to the MMU
• D. Hydraulic lines directly to the rotor

Answer: (C)

The flight control inputs are carried through a mechanical path from the cockpit to the flight control system. The pilot’s commands travel via a rigid mechanical linkage to the Pilot Assist Servos, which provide augmentation and transmit the motion as controlled signals to the MMU. The MMU then processes these signals and directs the appropriate hydraulic actuation to move the control surfaces and rotor systems. This mechanical-to-hydraulic chain means the pilot’s inputs are not sent as electrical or wireless signals, nor are they sent directly as hydraulic lines to the rotor.
