The LH flight controls must never be restricted by passenger or objects. Passengers must
be briefed.
Rudder and front wheel control
The rudder is connected to adjustable foot pedals with steel cables which are routed
through the lower fuselage and inside the keel tube. Both pairs of pedals are
interconnected. The nose wheel steering is directly linked to pedal/rudder control input by
redirected cables.
Both pairs of pedals can be adjusted to suit different leg lengths. A shorter adjustment is
achieved by pulling the handle which moves the pedals closer. Pulling the handle while
pushing with both feet gently against the pedals allows longer adjustment.
After adjustment make sure the pedal assembly is properly locked, as indicated by a definite
and positive click.
