FLAPS (cont.)
(3) Manually Operated Wing Flaps Rigging and Adjustment (cont.)
(c) Adjust flap up stop and step lock
1 Loosen jam nut of
right
torque tube stop screw, located in the floor opening along the
outer end of the flap torque tube.
2 Turn stop screw to obtain approximately 0.60 of an inch between stop fitting and bearing
block measured along top side of screw (refer to Figure 27). It may be necessary to
loosen the adjustment screw of the left stop.
(d) Check cable tension and adjust as required to remove all slack. Do not tighten cable to point
that stop screw comes off stop.
(e) Place a 0.125 of an inch thick spacer between right hand stop screw and stop fitting. With
flaps installed and control rods connected, determine that, when down pressure is applied on
top of the flap, it will not cause the flap to come down. If the flap extends (comes down
under pressure), turn stop screws out a few turns until flap remains in the up-lock position
the spacer inserted. Adjust both stop screws, tighten jam nuts and remove spacer block.
(f) To check up-neutral position of flaps:
1 Place a flap rigging tool as shown in Figure 28 against underside of wing and flap as
close as possible to the outboard end of the flap without contacting any rivets. (Refer to
Chapter 95 for dimensions to fabricate this tool.)
2 Tool must be positioned parallel with wing ribs, with aft end of tool even with trailing
edge of flap.
(g) With flap control rods connected between torque tube crank arm and flaps; check that:
1 Surface of wing contacts tool at its forward surface and at spacer.
2 Aft end of flap contacts aft end of tool. Maintain a light pressure on underside of flap to
remove slack in the linkage while making this check.
(h) Adjust each flap push rod so that chord line of flap forms a zero 1° angle with wing
chord at the outboard end of flap. This is the neutral position.
—NOTE—
To remedy condition of wing heaviness during flight, on PA-
32R-301/301T SP models, adjust flap on side of heavy wing
down from neutral by lengthening the control rod . Check
inspection hole in each rod end to ensure that there are suffi-
cient threads remaining and a wire cannot be inserted through
these holes. Do not raise flap of other wing above neutral. A
wing heavy condition on PA-32R-301 II HP models may be
corrected by ground adjusting trim tab on trailing edge of left
airleron.
(i) Measuring from the neutral position obtained from Steps (f), (g), and (h):
1 Maintain light up pressure on underside of flap.
2 Check flap down travel, which should be 10° ± 2° at first notch, 25° ± 2° at second notch
and 40° ± 2° at the third notch.
3 Adjust the torque tube screw in or out as required. After any adjustment of screw it will
be necessary to review steps (c) thru (i).
(j) Check complete operation of the flaps, flap control handle and ratchet mechanism.
(k) Install all access covers removed.
