7.4 -- FLIGHT CONTROLS
Flight controls consist of roll, pitch and rudder controls, as well as roll trim tab,
pitch trim tab and rudder trim tab controls.
NOTE :
During airplane parking, it is recommended to lock flight controls (see
Figure 8.6.2)
ROLL
(Figure 7.4.1)
The roll control is activated by an assembly of rods and cables which links
control wheels with the ailerons and the spoilers.
Aileron displacement is combined with that of spoilers, located at upper
surface of each wing forward of flaps.
The spoiler rises from wing upper surface profile, when the aileron is
deflected upwards and remains in wing profile, when the aileron is deflected
downwards.
Control wheel movement is transmitted through rods to fuselage roll lever
located under the floor. The movement is then transmitted through cables to
the spoiler mechanism and from the spoiler mechanism to wing roll lever
which activates the aileron through a rod.
A rudder / roll combination spring--type system induces roll deflection at the
time of pedals movement and vice versa.
ROLL TRIM
(Figure 7.4.2)
The roll trim is controlled by a trim tab attached at trailing edge of the L.H.
aileron. The trim tab is connected through two links to an electric actuator
located in the aileron. A trim switch located on pedestal controls the roll trim
tab maneuver.
Roll trim tab electrical circuit is protected by the ”AIL TRIM” circuit breaker.
