MAINTENANCE MANUAL EXTRA 300LT
O 10 Check rudder cable system including sleeves, fairleads,
pulleys and cable retracting springs per FAA-AC 43.13-1A.
O O 11 Check PTFE tube within the S-guidance at the rear seat
rudder pedal for general condition.
O 12 Check for minimum 3.5 mm (1/8") clearance of rudder
pedal versus safety stop when fully deflected for rudder
cables having 50 h flight time minimum. On newly installed
rudder cables the minimum spacing is 6 mm (1/4"). This
check is to be performed with zero loading on the rudder
pedals.
O 13 Rough check of safety stop clearance. With a force of
approx. 90 kg (200 lbs) acting on the fully deflected rudder
pedal the safety stop shall not be reached. If the stop is
reached the control system indicates too much flexibility
which needs to be traced. In this case contact EXTRA
Flugzeugproduktions- und Vertriebs- GmbH for advice.
O O 14 Inspect all flight control surface ventilation holes for ob-
struction.
O 15 Inspect elevator balance weights for looseness, clearance,
condition and interference with the composite structure.
O 16 Visual inspect push/pull control rods for corrosion, cracks,
or other visible damage, especially at their end fittings. In
case of suspected cracks, remove push/pull control rod,
strip the paint in the suspected area and carry out a detailed
inspection using a magnifying glass (x10). Replace the
related control rod in case a crack is found otherwise
reapply surface treatment and reinstall push/pull control
rod.
