FLIGHT CONTROLS
RUDDER/YAW TRIM RUNAWAY
Quick Disconnect Button .............................................. PRESS AND
HOLD
Rudder Systems 1 and 2 .............................................. OFF
Yaw Trim Circuit Breaker (F12) .................................... PULL
Quick Disconnect Button .............................................. RELEASE
Strongly push pedal opposite to the side of the uncommanded yaw,
while applying ailerons to control roll.
If necessary, turn on one rudder system at a time to identify the failed
system. Prepare to overcome the yaw generated by the failed system.
If both systems remains inoperative:
Expect greater rudder pedals force. Both pilots should act together
to control the airplane, if required. Consider the use of aileron to
help in yaw control, and asymmetric thrust to trim the airplane.
Do not use yaw trim system for the remainder of the flight.
Avoid landing at airports with anticipated turbulence or crosswind.
Land at the nearest suitable airport.
CAUTION:
DO NOT TRY TO RESET THE RUDDER SYSTEMS.
