(3) Adjustment/Test - Elevator System Rigging
Note: All control surface cable tensions should be rigged at an ambient temperature of
70°. Allow temperature to stabilize for a period of four hours before setting cable
tensions.
(a) Acquire necessary tools, equipment, and supplies.
(b) Remove baggage compartment carpet and access panel CF5. (Refer to 6-00)
(c) Remove access panels RE1 and RE2. (Refer to 6-00)
(d) Remove kick plate. (Refer to 25-10)
(e) Set control yoke to neutral pitch position:
1
Clamp control yoke so the distance from push/pull rod end to the inside face of the
yoke carriage is 3.81 inches.
2
Adjust elevator push/pull rods so that at full forward or full aft yoke movement the
elevator cables on the pulley sector do pull away or bend around sector. Elevator
cables should stay in sector track through full forward or aft yoke travel.
(f) Insert lock-out pin at elevator actuation pulley in empennage.
(g) Set elevators to neutral position using BL 12 and BL 60 templates.
1
Align elevator trailing edges to horizontal stabilizer chord line. To move elevator trail-
ing edge up, lengthen push/pull rod by loosening jam nut and turning rod counter-
clockwise. Shorten push/pull rod for opposite results.
(h) Adjust the elevator control cable to a tension of 30.0 - 40.0 lb (13.6 - 18.1 Kg).
(i) Remove lock-out pin.
(j) Fasten inclinometer to elevator and set at 0°.
(k) Verify elevator neutral position remains at 0° +/- 1° with control yoke in neutral position
WARNING:
Pulling back on pilot control yoke should deflect elevator trailing edge
up. If this is not true, system is improperly rigged. The system MUST
BE RIGGED CORRECTLY. Check for crossed or wrapped cables.
(l) Verify pulling back on pilot control yoke deflects elevator trailing edge up.
(m) Streamline elevator.
(n) Adjust stop screws at empennage elevator actuation pulley to allow 15° +/- 1° down and
25° +/- 1° up elevator travel. In addition, adjust stops screws at empennage elevator actu-
ation pulley so that for full forward or full aft yoke movement;
