AILERON
TRIM
SYSTEM
Aileron trim, see Figure 7-5,
is
achieved by a trim tab attached to the
left
aileron with a
full
length piano-type hinge.
The
trim tab
is
actuated
by
a push-pull rod
which
is
attached to a jack screw type actuator in the
wing.
The
actuator
is
driven
by
cables attached to the trim control
knob
on
the cockpit control pedestal.
The
aileron trim tab also acts as a servo
tab
so
that
aerodynamic forces
on
the tab will
move
the ailerons to the
selected
position,
which
reduces the forces required to
activate
the
ailerons in
flight.
