Inspect the rudder and vertical stabilizer for cracks. Do not apply force in an
attempt to move the rudder. The rudder is directly connected to the nose wheel
so there will only be slight rudder travel. The horizontal stabilizer and trim tab
should also be free of cracks and punctures. Inspect the mechanical linkages
located underneath the horizontal stabilizer for security. Do not lift by the trim
tab. The nuts and bolts should be snug and the linkages should be free from any
obstructions. The marking paint on the nuts and screws should not be broken.
Make sure the tail cone is firmly in place and its screws are present and tight.
The aft inspection cover located on the pilot’s side of the empennage should be
securely in place with screws tightly fastened.
