FOR SIMULATION USE ONLY
FLIGHT CONTROLS
The aircraft's flight control system consists of conventional aileron, rudder and
elevator control surfaces. These are manually operated by push-pull Teleflex
cables. The control column is a centrally mounted stick, with separate
handgrip for each pilot. The control column actuates the ailerons and
elevators in the conventional manner while the rudder pedals operate the
rudder.
The aileron and elevator controls may be locked by securing the control
column with the pilot's seat belt when the aircraft is parked on the ground.
This will prevent damage to these systems by wind buffeting.
Trim System
The elevator trim control is controlled via levers mounted on either side of the
cockpit centre console. The system consists of a cable operated system
which uses springs connected to a friction lock to control the elevator control
force. Selection of nose up trim pivots the trailing edge of the elevator
upwards.
Adjustable Rudder Pedals
J160/J170 aircraft have the option of fitting adjustable rudder pedals. These
pedals have two positions, in and out. To adjust the pedals pull the ring on
the side of the pedals to the side to release the pedal face. Move the pedal
face to the desired location (in or out). When the pedal face is in the desired
location, release the ring and move the pedal face around a little bit until the
locking pin is felt to engage and the pedal face is locked in place.
CAUTION
•
Ensure pedals are locked in position before operating the aircraft. Do
not attempt to adjust the pedal position while the aircraft is in motion.
