Inspect rudder for any signs of delamination or cracking. Pay particular attention to the Control Horn
and hinges and their surrounding areas.
Inspect the front right-hand of the rudder for any signs of rubbing against the vertical stabiliser when
the rudder is at full deflection: when the rudder hinge is pressed in using thumb pressure there
should be clearance between the rudder and the vertical stabiliser.
Details of inspections required for control surfaces are given in Section 5.18.
Repairs must be referred to Jabiru Aircraft Pty Ltd or our approved local agent.
