RIGGING AND ADJUSTMENT OF STABILATOR CONTROLS.
(PIR-PPS50005-1, Rev. AF.)
CAUTION: VERIFY FREE AND CORRECT MOVEMENT OF STABILATOR. WHILE IT WOULD
SEEM SELF-EVIDENT, FIELD EXPERIENCE HAS SHOWN THAT THIS CHECK IS
FREQUENTLY MISINTERPRETED OR NOT PERFORMED AT ALL. ACCORDINGLY,
UPON COMPLETION OF STABILATOR RIGGING AND ADJUSTMENT, VERIFY
THAT THE REAR EDGE OF THE STABILATOR MOVES UP WHEN THE WHEEL IS
PULLED BACK; AND, THAT THE REAR EDGE OF THE STABILATOR MOVES
DOWN WHEN THE WHEEL IS PUSHED FORWARD.
a.
To check and set the correct degree of stabilator travel, the following procedure may be used:
1.
Level the airplane. (Refer to Leveling, Section II.)
2.
Place the stabilator in neutral position. Neutral position is obtained when a level placed on
stabilator rigging tool (Figure 5-6) indicates that stabilator is parallel with leveling holes noted
in Figure 2-6.
3.
Check the stabilator travel by placing a rigging tool on the upper surface of the stabilator as
shown in Figure 5-6. (This tool may be fabricated from dimensions given in Figure 5-20.)
4.
Set on a bubble protractor the number of degree up travel as given in Table V-II and place it on
the rigging tool. Raise the trailing edge of the stabilator and determine that when the stabilator
contacts its stops, the bubble of the protractor is centered.
NOTE: The stabilator should contact both of its stops before the control wheel contacts its
stop.
5.
Set on the protractor the number of degrees down travel as given in Table V-II and again place
it on the rigging tool. Lower the trailing edge of the stabilator and determine that when it
contacts its stops, the bubble of the protractor is centered.
6.
Should the stabilator travel be incorrect in either the up or down position, remove the tail cone
by removing the attachment screws and with the use of the rigging tool and bubble protractor
turn the stops located at each stabilator hinge in or out (refer to Figure 5-13) to obtain the
correct degree of travel.
7.
Ascertain that the locknuts of the stop screws are secure and then reinstall the tail cone.
