Flight Controls
Flight
controls
consist
of roll, pitch and rudder controls, as well as roll trim tab,
pitch trim tab and rudder trim tab controls.
NOTE
During airplane parking, it is recommended to lock flight controls – see
Figure
8.6.2.
Roll
See Figure 7.4.1 and Figure 7.4.2.
The roll control is
activated by an assembly of rods and cables which links control
wheels with the ailerons and the spoilers.
Aileron displacement is combined with that of spoilers, located at upper surface of
each wing forward of flaps.
The spoiler rises from wing upper surface profile, when the aileron is deflected
upwards and remains in wing profile, when the aileron is deflected downwards.
Control wheel movement is transmitted through rods to fuselage roll lever located
under the floor. The movement is then transmitted through cables to the spoiler
mechanism and from the spoiler mechanism to wing roll lever which activates the
aileron through a rod.
A rudder / roll combination spring-type system induces roll deflection at the time of
pedals movement and vice versa.
Roll Trim
See
Figure 7.4.3 and Figure 7.4.4.
The roll trim is
controlled by a trim tab attached at the trailing edge of left-side
aileron. The trim tab is connected through two links to an electric actuator located
in the aileron. A trim switch located on pedestal controls the roll trim tab maneuver.
Roll trim tab electrical circuit is protected by the AIL TRIM breaker.
