7.9 FLIGHT CONTROLS
Dual flight controls are provided as standard equipment. The flight controls actuate the control
surfaces through a cable system.
The horizontal surface (stabilator) is of the flying tail design with a trim tab mounted on the trailing
edge. This tab serves the dual function of providing trim control and pitch control forces. The trim tab is
actuated by a trim control wheel located on the control console between the front seats (Figure 7-3).
Forward rotation of the wheel gives nose down trim and aft rotation gives nose up trim.
The rudder is conventional in design and incorporates a rudder trim. The trim mechanism is a spring
loaded recentering device. The trim control is located on the right side of the pedestal below the throttle
