DESCR. & OPERATION
The directional control of the aircraft on the ground is accomplished by
differential breaking of the main gear wheels. The brakesare actuated by
pushingtheupperpartoftheappropriaterudder pedal.
Use of the right brake pedal has a breaking effect on the right main gear
wheel and will steer the nose to the right. Useof the left brakepedal has a
braking effect of the left main gear wheel and will steer the nose to the
left. The braking force depends upon the intensity of the pressure
appliedtothebrakepedals.
Because the nose wheel fork can rotate, the front wheel will pivot and
turn in the direction of the directional control applied through the brakes
and rudder. To decelerate the aircraft in a straight line, a uniform
pressureshouldbeappliedsimultaneouslytobothbrakepedals.
Before every takeoff, and landing, ensure that the feet of the
non flying individual are clear of the brakes and rudder
pedals.
The SA 160 employs electrically actuated Fowler flaps, which can be
extendedfrom 0°- 40° without increments.
The left flap is directly connected to an electrical flap actuator through a
bellcrank and a pushrod. The right flap is driven through control cables,
abellcrankandapushrod.
The flap position indicator is located on the instrument panel right to the
rowofcontrolswitches.
