Rudder
- see figure 7.4.5
The rudder is hinged on three fittings attached to the vertical stabilizer rear spar.
The rudder pedals / rudder linkage is ensured through cables and a rod.
Pilot and R.H. station rudder pedal positions are adjustable at each station. The
rudder pedal adjustment mechanism (for piloting comfort purposes) includes a
manual control located against the external bulkhead beneath the instrument panel
and a locking device on the rudder pedals. This ball locking device allows selecting six
different positions.
When landing gear is down, rudder pedals are linked to nose gear steering system.
Spring system of rudder / roll combination induces aileron deflection at the time of
pedal displacement and vice versa.
Rudder trim
- see figure 7.4.6
A trim tab hinged at two points located at rudder trailing edge provides rudder trim.
Trim tab is linked by two rods to an electric actuator attached to rudder. It is controlled
by rudder trim switch (Y L / Y R) located on pilot control wheel.
Electrical circuit of rudder trim tab is protected by RUD TRIM breaker.
