FLIGHT CONTROLS
SURFACES
The airplane is equipped with a conventional three–axis surface system,
consisting of aileron, stabilator and rudder surfaces.
Each front seat is provided with a control wheel which actuates ailerons and
stabilator through rods and bellcranks.
The control wheel being actuated fully, ailerons deflection must be :
– upwards
15
°
±
1.5
°
– downwards
15
°
±
1.5
°
Stabilator deflection must be :
– nose–up
- 16
°
±
1
°
– nose–down
+ 3
°
±
1
°
The stabilator consists of an automatic anti–tab, which automaticity is 104 %.
This anti–tab can also be controlled through the pitch trim.
Each front seat is provided with a rudder pedal which controls the rudder
through rods and bellcranks.
Rudder deflection to the left and to the right is 25
°
±
2
°
.
Rudder has a controlled tab.
TRIM SYSTEMS
Manually–operated pitch and rudder trims are provided.
Stabilator trimming is accomplished by actuating on stabilator anti–tab
through a control wheel vertically mounted on L.H. side of the control panel.
This control wheel actuates stabilator anti–tab through cables and an
irreversibility system.
