  • The Captain’s control wheel is
    connected by cables to the
    aileron power control units
    (PCUs) through the aileron feel
    and centering unit.
  • The First Officer’s control wheel is
    connected by cables to the spoiler
    power control units ( PCUs) through
    the spoiler mixer.
  • The two control wheels are connected by a
    cable drive system which allows actuation of
    both ailerons and spoilers by either control
    wheel.  With total hydraulic power failure the
    ailerons can be mechanically positioned by
    rotating the pilots' control wheels.
Roll Control

The roll control surfaces consist of hydraulically
powered ailerons and flight spoilers, which are
controlled by rotating either control wheel.
