MAINTENANCE MANUAL STEMME S12
6.4.2 WEIGHTS AND MOMENTS OF CONTROL SURFACES
After repair and re-painting of control surfaces, weights and rear hinge moments must be checked
and confirmed to be within certified limits. If certified limits are exceeded, the manufacturer
must be contacted.
The Form »Control Surfaces Weights and Hinge Moments« (Annex D) includes procedures to
determine the weights and moments. Rated values are:
Control Surface Weight of Control Surface Hinge Moment of Control
Surface
Force at trailing edge
kg (lb) Ncm (lbf ft) N (lbf), Measuring point
Aileron
(outer wing)
4.1 (9.04) to 5.0 (11.02) 66.7 (0.49) to 106.7 (0.78)
9.2 (2.07) to 12.2 (2.74)
at inner operating rod.
r = 14.3 cm (5.63 in)
Aileron
(wing extension)
0.95 (2.1) bis 1.3 (2.86) -1.9 (-0.01) bis 2.19 (0.02)
-0.19 (-0.04) to 0.219 (0.05)
at inner end rib
r = 10 cm (3.94 in)
Wing Flap 3.0 (6.61) bis 4.1 (9.03) 179 (1.32) bis 246 (1.81)

at inner end rib
r = 14.0 cm (5.51 in)
Rudder 2.26 (4.98) bis 3.10 (6.83) 194 (1.43) bis 266 (1.96)
4.3 (0.967) to 5.3 (1.19)
at bottom rear corner
r = 42.5 cm (16.73 in)
** left and right measured separately
6.4.3 FREE PLAY IN FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM
For each control surface a maximum allowable slackness between cockpit control and control
surface is defined. Each control free play is measured at the point used for measurement of the
relevant control deflection (Refer to Form »Rigging Report«). For measuring, the controls are fixed
in the cockpit (control stick and flap operation handle).
Allowable free play
Aileron 2.5 mm / 0.1 in
Flaps 2.5 mm / 0.1 in
Elevator 2.5 mm / 0.1 in
The axial play of ailerons/flaps and elevator must be limited to a minimum without jamming,
using suitable washers if necessary.
