# SYSTEMS/FLTCTRL
### AIRPLANE GRAPHIC
* Static display that shows the location of flight control surfaces and status of the flight control actuators.
### SURFACE POSITION STATUS
* Displays the surface position and status.
### FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM STATUS ANNUNCIATIONS
* Status annunciations are shown in a table format for three surfaces.
### ACTUATOR STATUS ANNUNCIATION
* The rudder has two actuators, upper and lower. Each left and right elevator surfaces have two actuators, inboard and outboard.
### AXES MODE ANNUNCIATION
* Axes mode annunciations are shown for the rudder, left and right elevator.
### HYDRAULIC SYSTEM SOURCE ANNUNCIATION
* Hydraulic system source annunciations are shown for the rudder, left and right elevator.
### PBIT REMAINING TIME READOUT
{% hint style="info" %}
To skip Power Build In Test you can disable the *realistic startup* option in the EFB options -> Aircraft page
{% endhint %}
* Digital remaining time readout displays the hours until the electrical and hydraulic PBIT expire.
* Electrical PBIT is automatically performed during power up after the airplane is powered by any AC source and takes approximately 3 minutes to complete.
* Will be interrupted if any electric hydraulic pump is turned ON, if the Flight Control Mode Buttons are cycled or if AC power is interrupted while the test is running.
* Hydraulic PBIT is performed automatically only on the ground when all 3 hydraulic systems are pressurized and takes approximately 1 minute to complete.
* Will be interrupted if any flight control surface is moved.
* PBIT is not performed if the temperature within the hydraulic reservoir is lower than 10 degrees Celsius.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.flightsim-studio.com/e-jet-series/systems-guide/main-panel/multifunction-display-mfd/systems-fltctrl.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
