XT 582 Maintenance Manual

Issue 1.0

September 21st 2005

Page 50

27. FLIGHT CONTROLS

27.00.00 General

For information on the flight controls system refer to the relevant wing maintenance manual.

27.10.00 Engine Controls

The engine is controlled through cable actuated throttle levers, which may be actuated by pilots in the
front or rear of the aircraft. The foot throttle is only available to the front pilot, while the hand throttle is
able to be actuated by both.
The cables and levers should be checked for free operation, and ensure that there are no kinks in the
cables. Light machine oil may be used to lubricate the cables.

NOTE

If any sign of wear or damage is evident then the cable assembly should be replaced.
