 Inspect rudder for any signs of delamination or cracking. Pay particular attention to the Control Horn
and hinges and their surrounding areas.
 Inspect the front right-hand of the rudder for any signs of rubbing against the vertical stabiliser when
the rudder is at full deflection: when the rudder hinge is pressed in using thumb pressure there
should be clearance between the rudder and the vertical stabiliser.
 Details of inspections required for control surfaces are given in Section 5.18.
 Repairs must be referred to Jabiru Aircraft Pty Ltd or our approved local agent.
