DESCRIPTION
7.3.
FLIGHT CONTROLS
The Rocker switch is located on center console behind engine control unit.
The switch controls an electrical actuator
beside the vertical push rod in the vertical
stabilizer. The actuator applies via
compression springs a load on the elevator
controls. Its circuit breaker is located in the
circuit breaker panel and can also be
triggered manually. Pushing the switch
forward will trim the aircraft nose down.
The digital trim indicator is located in the middle of the instrument panel.
7.3.1 TRIM SYSTEM
The ailerons and elevator are actuated via push rods, and the rudder is
controlled using control cables. The flaps have three positions (up [UP],
take-off [T/O], and landing [LDG]) and are electrically operated. The switch
is located on the instrument panel. In addition the flap control circuit is
provided with a manually triggerable circuit breaker. Elevator forces may be
balanced using the electric trim system.
The flaps are driven by an electric motor. The flaps are controlled by a three
position flap operating switch on the instrument panel. The three positions
of the switch correspond to the position of the flaps, where the top position
of the switch is used during cruise flight. When the switch is moved to a
different position, the flaps move automatically until the selected position is
reached. The up (fully retracted) and landing (fully extended) positions are
additionally equipped with a limit switch to prevent overtraveling.
The electric flap actuator is protected by an automatic circuit breaker (3.5
A), located in the circuit breaker panel, which can also be triggered
manually.
