Limitations
Trim Systems
On aircraft with FC-200 autopilot, pitch trim runway training
that actually involves running the trim in flight to simulate mal-
functions is prohibited. The Before Starting Engine trim sys-
tems checks must be successfully completed before each
flight.
On aircraft with FC-530 autopilot, the Before Starting
Engines trim systems checks must be successfully completed
in accordance with AFM Section II. The complete Trim Sys-
tems Operational check in AFM Section II must be successfully
completed a minimum of once every 10 hours of aircraft flight
operation.
WARNING: On aircraft with FC-530 autopilot, the action of
the stick nudger verifies operation of the pitch torquer prior
to pusher actuation. If, during ground test, the shaker is not
accompanied by the nudger (the nudger monitor horn
sounds), do not dispatch. If, during flight, the shaker is not
accompanied by the nudger (the nudger monitor horn
sounds), do not decelerate further.
WARNING: Failure to conduct a complete pitch trim preflight
check prior to each flight increases the probability of an
undetected system failure. An additional single failure in the
trim system could result in a trim runaway. In certain critical
flight conditions, an unrestricted runaway could result in high
speeds, severe buffet, wing roll off, loads in excess of struc-
tural limit, and extremely high forces necessary for recovery.
