C. Rigging and Adjustment
CAUTION: VERIFY FREE AND CORRECT MOVEMENT OF RUDDER. WHILE IT WOULD SEEM
SELF-EVIDENT, FIELD EXPERIENCE HAS SHOWN THAT THIS CHECK IS
FREQUENTLY MISINTERPRETED OR NOT PERFORMED AT ALL. ACCORDINGLY,
UPON COMPLETION OF RUDDER RIGGING AND ADJUSTMENT, VERIFY THAT
THE RUDDER MOVES RIGHT WHEN THE RIGHT PEDAL IS DEPRESSED; AND,
THAT THE RUDDER MOVES LEFT WHEN THE LEFT PEDAL IS DEPRESSED.
(1) Remove tail cone fairing and aft fuselage access panel.
CAUTION: TO AVOID CABLE STRETCH, DO NOT PUSH RUDDER HARDER THAN
NECESSARY.
(2) Using a suitable tool, as shown in Figure 2, set the rudder stops (see Figure 3) so that rudder
travel is as specified in Figure 4, measured from neutral (i. e. - streamlined with the vertical
stabilizer). (See 95-00-00, Figure 5, for tool fabrication instructions.)
(3) Install a suitable tool which will streamline the rudder with the vertical stabilizer and lock it in
that position.
