7.2.6.1 Rudder pedal adjustment
For aircrafts equipped with the ergonomic control system, rotate the
selector switch to “Rudder pedal” position. See Figure 7.2-6 and Figure
7.2-7.
Adjust the pedal position using the control switch as follows:
• Up (+): Moves the rudder pedals away from the pilot
• Down (-): Moves the rudder pedals closer to the pilot
Multiple safety features in the rudder pedal adjustment include:
• Built-in limit switches at both ends of travel
• Overload shutoff switch; this prevents pedal adjustment if
pressure is applied to the pedals
When the overload shutoff switch has been triggered the pedals can be
adjusted without delay in the opposite direction. A two second delay
prevents immediate movement in the original direction.
For aircraft not equipped with the ergonomic control system, the rudder
pedals are still electrically adjusted.
