• Flap Neutral can be adjusted during flight using
the CH6 Flap Knob 6
•This is helpful in making pitch axis trim adjust-
ments for knife edge and vertical maneuvers.
•This function can be used whether Mixing
Switches 10 and 12 are ON or OFF.
• Flap Switch 18 on the trimmer panel can be set
to TRIM position to provide a finer adjustment
if desired. (This may not be possible however, if
wider angles are needed for other flap func-
tions.)

AUTOMATIC AIR BRAKING (THROTTLE LEVER OPERATION)
•This feature permits automatic deployment of
the airbrake (flaps and elevator or flaps, spoilers,
and elevator) as the throttle lever is lowered.
When the throttle is again moved to HIGH, the
airbrakes are retracted automatically. Operation
in this manner is very efficient as it allows the
use of the airbrake function while leaving the
pilot free to concentrate on the primary con-
trols.
1.Set Switch [32] to INHIB and Switch [33]] to
ACT. Monitor Lamp B comes on.
2.Set Control Switch 11 to ON. Lamp (B) blinks.
3.Trimmer 8 is used to set the throttle lever
position at which the airbrake is deployed.
Deployment at one or two stops from the maxi-
mum Slow position is usually the most suitable.
4.The Auto Airbrake function can be turned ON
and OFF in flight by using Control Switch 11.
• The Automatic Air Brake Function is very useful
for slowing the aircraft during maneuvers and
landing approaches. When executing a "go
around" for a missed approach, the airbrake will
be immediately released as the throttle is moved
to HIGH.
