FOR SIMULATION PURPOSES ONLY
Aileron Control
Lateral movement of either control column is transmitted to both ailerons by
push-pull rods. The ailerons cannot be trimmed in flight but a trim tab,
adjustable on the ground, is fitted to each aileron.
The aileron controls are connected to the rudder controls via a spring device
in the centre console. Movement of the rudder or aileron controls will
produce a complementary increase in control feedback force.
Rudder Control
The rudder pedals are connected to the rudder with a push-pull rod and to
the nose wheel through a spring system.
Each set of pedals can be adjusted to suit pilot leg length via a wheel in the
cockpit floor just forward of the seats; moving the wheel top to the right
moves the pedals rearwards.
Attached to the top of each rudder is a wheel brake toe pad. The rudder
cannot be trimmed in flight but it has a fixed tab which can be adjusted on
the ground.
Flaps
A simple flap is fitted to the trailing edge of each wing between the aileron
and the wing root walkway.
The two flaps are interconnected by push-pull rods and operated by a single,
electrically driven, screw-jack mechanism. This minimizes the chance of
asymmetric flap.
Actuator operation is controlled by a selector lever and micro-switches on
the centre pedestal. The selector has gates for TAKE OFF (15° deflection),
LAND (45°) and FULL (60°) but any position between UP and FULL may be
selected.
Achieved flap position is shown by the adjacent indicator.
Stall Warning System
A stall warning system is fitted to give advanced warning of an approaching
stall. The sensor, a vane set in the leading edge of the port wing, activates an
audio warning approximately 5 to 10kts. before the stall.
