Roll Controls (Xoay Quanh TR C X) : Ailerons Và Roll Spoilers Used For Roll Control
Roll Controls (Xoay Quanh TR C X) : Ailerons Và Roll Spoilers Used For Roll Control
Surfaces such as aileron: in zero position when surface flush with adjacent airfoil
Surfaces such as elevators and rudder:
- require index plate to establish zero position
- zero position when trailing edge aligned with zero mark on index plate
- before elevator can be in zero position movable stabilizer must also be in zero position
4. Safety Precautions
Fafety precautions when working with surfaces:
- surfaces move rapidly - dangerous
- ensure travel range of surface is free of personnel and equipment
- reduce risk
Safety devices:
- prevent inadvertnet retraction of extended surface
Warning notices on cockpit controls:
- when work in prgress on actrators or surfaces
VI. Rigging
Adjusting cables and linkages in the flight in the flight control transmission to ensure
proper system operation
1. Cable System rigging
Flight control ringging:
- establishing correct position of each main component in transmission system
- adjusting linking rods and cables accordingly
- use example of elevator transmission system
Control column in corect position:
- if rig pin hole aligned with rig pin holes on structure
- check by inserting rig pin
The correct lacation for the rig pin hole on this cable tension regulator: position C
When correct position for column and regulator established:
- length of connecting rod can be adjusted accordingly
Rig pin has caution flag attached:
- to minimize danger of leaving rig pin installed
- operating controls with rig pín installed – damage
Cable system rigging:
- aircraft temperature must be stable for at least 1 hour
- cable system must be isolated from rest of transmission
Tension adjusted with reference to scale on regulator:
- reading on scale compared to chart
- at temperature of 70*F scale should be 8.5 – 9.0
If the scale reads between 7.6 and 8.1 then the cable tension is correct for an ambient
temperature of 10*F
Control wheel to left: indications show left ailerons up/right ailerons down
Aileron trimmed (neutral) position:
- indicated on scale at top pf control wheel
- varies according to imbalance of aircraft
- must be within trim range on scale
2. Wheel Connections and Body Cables
Torque shafts inside control columns:
- connect control wheels to rest of aileron control system
- fitting designed so that fore and aft movements of columns have no effect on control
wheel transmission
- transmit control wheel movement to cable drums below cockpit floor
Control wheel bussed together:
- by drums and cables under cockpit floor
- 1 cable drum includes a load limiter
Backdrive rod:
- connects aileron programmer to right body cable
- allows possibility of feedback via right body cables to control wheels
Lost motion devices:
- to prevent undesired feedback from right body cable to control wheels
- in example, up to 6* movement either way permitted
Left system jammed:
- first officer’s control wheel must be operated more than 6* either way to achieve
transmission to CLCP
Load limiting strut and force limiter bus rod
- override devices which disconnect control systems if 1 becomes jammed
4. Wing Cables and Transmissions
Wing cables and transmission components:
- same on both wings
Output of aileron programmer via wing
cables to:
- inboard aileron quadrant
- outboard aileron quadrant
Cable drum:
- safety device
- ensures inputs to inboard aileron maintained if cable to outboard aileron breaks
Aileron control input transmitted from:
- inboard aileron quadrant, via control rod, to inboard aileron control quadrant
- outboard aileron quadrant, via lockout mechanism, to outboard aileron control packages
