5.13 Control Systems 100-Hourly
As all possible circumstances cannot be listed here, the following is provided as guidance only. A
critical, trained eye is required and inspections should include, but not be limited to, the following.
Inspect all primary control cables & clamps. Ensure clamps are assembled correctly and indexed
correctly on the cables. Check all hardware is in good condition and is secure. Move all controls
through their full travel, ensuring full and free movement with no binding.
Inspect all rod ends and other hardware for condition and security. Ensure all lock nuts are secure.
Inspect all secondary (trim, throttle etc) control cables & clamps. Ensure clamps are assembled
correctly and indexed correctly on the cables. Check all hardware is in good condition and is secure.
Move all controls through their full travel, ensuring full and free movement with no binding.
Check control surface travel.
Ensure that control surface stops are correctly adjusted and secure.
Ensure all decals & labels are in place and in good condition.
Cycle the flaps, checking the flap control & linkages for full and free operation with no binding. Listen
to the electric flap motor (if equipped) and clean or replace if it sounds uneven or jerky.
Inspect elevator control & linkages. Ensure all hardware is secure and in good condition.
Inspect rudder pedals & linkages. Ensure all hardware is secure and in good condition.
Inspect exterior surfaces of control surfaces
– check for damage including cracking, fraying etc.
Inspect control horns, hinges & hinge lock tabs. Check for condition and wear and replace as
required.
Inspect aileron controls & linkages. Ensure all hardware is secure and in good condition.
Carry out a rigging check flight. Check all systems for correct function.
Inspect throttle controls for correct function, smooth operation and correct adjustment of friction (to
prevent inadvertent throttle movement).
Inspect Control Surfaces per Section 5.18.
5.14 Lubrication
Refer to the appropriate engine manuals for engine lubrication requirements.
The
following points are designed to run “dry” if required however application of some graphite
lubricant is recommended if excess friction is detected.
-
Rudder pedal pivots
-
Wing flap cross shaft pivots
-
Control stick pivot and control stick shaft bushings
-
Nose leg pivot bushings.
-
Throttle shafts. Note that this refers both to the throttle cross-shafts (floor and panel-mount
throttle systems) and to the shafts which pass through the instrument panel and have the throttle
knobs on the aft end. Note that if fresh lubricant is applied to the throttle system it will be
necessary to re-adjust the friction lock when the lubricant is applied and again after a few hours
of operation.
5.15 Special Inspections
– Propeller
Aircraft fitted with propellers other than the approved types listed herein as subject to inspections
