The standard installation provides a set of rudder pedals for
both the pilot and copilot. The main landing gear wheel
brakes are operated by applying toe pressure to either set of
rudder pedals.
TRIM CONTROLS
Trim tabs on the rudder and elevator are adjustable with the
controls that are mounted
on
the lower center console. The
trim tabs and controls are connected through closed cable
systems. Mechanical position indicators for each of the trim
tabs are integrated with their respective controls. Elevator
trim
is
accomplished through either the electric or manual
pitch trim system.
MANUAL ELEVATOR TRIM
The manual elevator trim is actuated
by
a handwheellocated
between the pilot seats. An elevator tab position indicator is
located adjacent to the trim control handwheel. Forward rota-
tion of wheel trims the airplane nose down, aft rotation trims
nose up.
ELECTRIC ELEVATOR TRIM
The electric elevator trim system is controlled by the ON-OFF
circuit-breaker-type switch located on the left subpanel and a
thumb
switch
located
on
the pilot's control wheel. The
ON-OFF switch must
be
in
the
ON
position
to
operate the
system. The thumb switch
is
depressed and moved forward
for nose down, aft
tor
nose
up,
and when released, returns to
the center OFF position. When the system is not being elec-
trically actuated, the manual trim control wheel may be used.
