7 System description
Introduction
Section 7 gives a description of the aircraft systems as well as
instructions on the use thereof. A detailed technical description of the
systems with drawings can be found in the JS-MD 3 Aircraft Maintenance
Manual.
The main aim of this section is to describe the controls, their labels and
layout in the aircraft.
Cockpit controls
Elevator and aileron
The elevator and ailerons are controlled conventionally by the control
stick. Forward-aft movement deflects the elevators while sideways
movement deflects the flaperons in the desired direction.
Various stick grip options are available with integrated instrument control
buttons or just the radio transmit button (press-to-talk).
A leather boot covers the bottom of the stick. This boot must always be
in position to prevent foreign objects from entering the control circuit
below the cockpit seat pan.
