RUDDER (Figure 7.4.5)
The rudder is hinged on three fittings attached to the vertical stabilizer rear
spar.
Cables and a rod comprise the rudder pedals / rudder linkage.
Pilot and R.H. station rudder pedal positions are adjustable at each station.
The rudder pedal adjustment mechanism (for piloting comfort purposes)
includes a manual control located against the external bulkhead beneath the
instrument panel and a locking device on the rudder pedals. This ball locking
device allows selecting six different positions.
When landing gear is down, rudder pedals are linked to nose gear steering
system.
Spring system of rudder / roll combination induces aileron deflection at the
time of pedal displacement and vice versa.
RUDDER TRIM (Figure 7.4.6)
A trim tab hinged at two points located at rudder trailing edge provides rudder
trim.
Trim tab is linked by two rods to an electric actuator attached to rudder. It is
controlled by ”RUD” switch (L / R) located on pilot control wheel.
Electrical circuit of rudder trim tab is protected by ”RUD TRIM”
circuit–breaker.
