Test of LF3000/LFI3000 Mk2 feedback
1. Align engines to centre position; “zero rudder”.
2. Rev engines to 3-4000 rev/min and observe the rudder angle
indicator on the autopilot, a 2° change in the reading should be
accepted.

If the rudder angle exceeds 2°, connect the screen on the TB1 cable
to the centre block terminal and repeat item 2 (See Figure 4-29). If
this gives a better result keep the screen connected.
