TRIM CONTROLS
BEECHCRAFT Baron 58
Serial TH 773 and After
Trim tabs on the rudder, left aileron, and elevator are ad-

through closed cable systems. Mechanical position indi-

left aileron tab incorporates servo

addition to its trimming purpose. Elevator trim is
accomplished
through either the electric or the manual
pitch trim system.
ELECTRIC ELEVATOR TRIM
The
electric elevator trim system is controlled by the ON-

switch located on the instrument panel, a thumb
switch on the control wheel and a circuit breaker on the left
sidewall. The ON-OFF switch must be in the ON position to
operate
the system. The thumb switch is moved forward for
nose down, aft for nose up and when released returns to the
center OFF position. When the system is not being
electrically actuated, the manual trim control wheel may be
used.
Incorporated in
the system is an emergency release button
located on the left handle grip of the pilot's control wheel.
This button can be depressed to deactivate the system
quickly in case of a malfunction in the system. The system
will remain deactivated only while the release button is
being
held in the depressed position.
