EMPENNAGES
Empennages are composite structures. The horizontal empennage consists
of a horizontal stabilizer (PHF), control surfaces and elevator trim tabs ; the
vertical empennage consists of a vertical stabilizer, the rudder and the rudder
trim tab. The empennage leading edge is equipped with a deicing system.
