Rudder pedal adjustment
For aircrafts equipped with the ergonomic control system, rotate the
selector switch to
“Rudder pedal” position. See Figure 7.2-6 and Figure
Adjust the pedal position using the control switch as follows:
•
Up (+):
Moves the rudder pedals away from the pilot
•
Down (-): Moves the rudder pedals closer to the pilot
Multiple safety features in the rudder pedal adjustment include:
•
Built-in limit switches at both ends of travel
•
Overload shutoff switch; this prevents pedal adjustment if
pressure is applied to the pedals
When the overload shutoff switch has been triggered the pedals can be
adjusted without delay in the opposite direction. A two second delay
prevents immediate movement in the original direction.
For aircraft not equipped with the ergonomic control system, the rudder
pedals are still electrically adjusted.
