Study Notes
Stabilator Operation
- Operated via movement of the control column-tee bar assembly for pitch control.
- Cable connects the tee bar assembly's bottom to an aft fuselage bellcrank, which in turn controls pitch via a pushrod.
Pitch Trim Control
- Adjustable trim mechanism specifically designed for the stabilator enhances flight stability.
- Trim control can be operated using a wheel and drum system located in the floor tunnel between the front seats.
- Optional S-TEC Manual Electric Trim Control can be installed on the control yoke for trim adjustments.
Mechanism and Routing
- Cables are routed from the trim drum aft towards a screw assembly situated above the stabilator attachment point.
- The screw assembly operates to move the pushrod, which ultimately adjusts the stabilator trim tab for fine-tuning pitch control.
