How are the Primary Flight Controls actuated from the cockpit?

The primary flight controls in the Dassault Falcon 2000LXS are actuated through a system that combines hydraulic actuation with mechanical linkages to the flight deck controls. This means that when a pilot moves the control yoke or other controls in the cockpit, those inputs are translated into mechanical movements that activate hydraulic systems.

The hydraulic system provides the necessary force to move the control surfaces—such as ailerons, elevators, and rudder—with precision and efficiency, allowing for responsive aircraft handling. The mechanical linkage ensures that the pilot's commands are directly transmitted to the hydraulic actuators, ensuring a reliable connection between the pilot and the aircraft's flight controls.

The other options, such as electrical signals, pneumatic systems, or manual levers alone, do not accurately describe the primary means of actuation in this aircraft. In the Falcon 2000LXS, the hybrid approach of hydraulic actuation linked with mechanical inputs strikes a balance between control, responsiveness, and safety, which is critical for a sophisticated aircraft like this one.
