WING FLAP CONTROL SYSTEM
10.1 WING FLAP CONTROL SYSTEM
10.1.1 DESCRIPTION
For aircraft with electric flaps the control system comprises a switch mounted on the instrument
panel, a position indicator mounted on the windscreen / door pillar and an electronic linear actuator-
driven common shaft assembly, with pushrods connecting to the flap control surface horns.
Models with manual flaps retain the same shaft assembly inside the cabin, driving the flaps via
pushrod, however in these aircraft a manual lever located above the pilot’s door drives the system.
Refer to sections below for details on removal, maintenance and installation of the various parts of
the system.
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.
WARNING
All spherical rod end bearings must be fitted with a large washer on the outside of the through-
bolt to prevent the bearing case and cable releasing in the event of a bearing failure.
10.1.2 OPERATIONAL CHECK
Operate flaps through their full range of travel, observing for uneven or jumpy motion or binding in
the system. Ensure flaps are moving together through their full range of travel.
