APPENDIX 1
(10) Remove the locking fixtures at the inboard ends of the airlerons. Aileron neutral (i.e. - aligned
with flaps) position should be maintained with the control wheels in neutral. A droop of 1/8 inch
is allowable.
(11) Remove the control wheel/tee bar locks. Check to insure that the left aileron up and right
aileron down stops are contacted simultaneously and vice versa. Adjust stops as required.
(12) Rotate the left (pilot's) control wheel in each direction until the bellcranks contact the stops.
The sprocket stops on the tee bar shall not be contacted until additional “override" movement
(cushion) of the wheel occurs. A "cushion" on 0.030 to 0.040 inches is to be maintained as
measured between the sprocket pin and adjustable control wheel stop bolts.
(13) Place the ailerons in the neutral (aligned with the flaps) position. For each aileron, from the
neutral position, check that the "up" travel and the "down" travel are within the limits shown in
27-10-00, Figure 5, as follows:
(a) Center bubble of a protractor over surface of aileron at neutral position. Note reading.
(b) Move aileron full up and down. Check degree of travel in each direction. Degree of travel
on protractor is determined by taking the difference between protractor reading at neutral
and up, and neutral and down. Bubble must be centered at each reading.
When measuring "down" travel from the neutral position, a light "up" pressure shall be
maintained at the center of the aft edge of the aileron. When measuring "up" travel from the
neutral position, a light "down" pressure shall be maintained at the center of the aft edge of the
aileron (at the "up" position only), just sufficient to remove the slack between the bellcrank and
the aileron. Total free play measured at the aileron trailing edges shall not exceed 0.120
inches.
(14) If steps (10) thru (13), above, reveal the aileron controls out of rig, repeat steps (1) thru (9).
(15) Connect autopilot harness.
(16) Check aileron controls for free and correct movement.
(17) Perform Post-Maintenance Operational Checkout, above.
(18) Replace floor panel and secure with screws.
(19) Replace carpeting.
(20) Replace the aft facing passenger seat.
13. Trim Servo (See Figures 2 and 5.)
The trim servo is located on the centerline just aft of the cabin rear closeout panel. The left stabilator trim
cable wraps around the servo idler pulley and servo capstan.
A. Removal
(1) Remove rear seats. Remove cabin rear closeout panel. Remove baggage compartment carpet
and floor.
(2) Tie a pull rope to the left trim cable exposed beneath the baggage compartment floor and tie-
off the pull rope to structure aft.
(3) Tie a pull rope to the left trim cable aft of the turnbuckle in the rear fuselage aft of the trim
servo and tie-off the pull rope to structure forward.
NOTE: The pull ropes apply tension to the trim cables to prevent the cables from unwrapping
from the trim wheel drum or the trim barrel, and to prevent the cables from fouling at
any of the pulleys.
(4) Slack-off the turnbuckle in the left trim cable segment aft of the trim servo sufficient to relieve
tension on the left trim cable as it wraps around the trim servo idler pulley and capstan.
