RUDDER CONTROL SYSTEM
12.1 RUDDER PEDAL SYSTEM
12.1.1 DESCRIPTION
Jabiru Aircraft use rudder pedals connect directly to the nose leg to control nose wheel steering in
addition to the rudder control surface. The system is comprised of rudder pedals, two push rods, a
centring mechanism and an enclosed push-pull cable.
Optional adjustable rudder pedals may be fitted. These pedals are adjusted by means of a spring-
loaded pin that allows each pedal to be moved to one of three positions.
Due to space constraints not all different variations are shown herein. When ordering spare parts
provide as must detail as possible
– part description, aircraft model, serial number etc to Jabiru to
ensure accurate part identification.
