(4) Inspection/Check - Elevator System Rigging (See Figure 27-302)
Note: If the following elevator leading edge gap and overlap inspections do not fall within
the specified clearances, contact Cirrus Design Customer Service Department for
disposition.
(a) Acquire necessary tools, equipment, and supplies.
(b) Remove baggage compartment carpet and access panel CF5. (Refer to 6-00)
(c) Verify gap between elevator leading edge and trailing edge of horizontal stabilizer has a
minimum of 0.060 inch (1.5 mm) and a maximum of 0.150 inch (3.8 mm) clearance when
elevator is fully deflected up and down.
(d) Verify overlap between elevator and horizontal stabilizer has a minimum of 0.010 inch
(0.25 mm) and a maximum of 0.125 inch (3.2 mm) clearance. Elevator may be deflected
downward 0° - 5° to achieve upper overlap, and may be deflected upward 0° - 5° to
achieve lower overlap.
(e) Verify elevator control cable tension set to 30.0 - 40.0 lb (13.6 - 18.1 Kg). (Refer to 27-30)
(f) Verify elevator neutral position remains at 0° +/- 1° with control yoke in neutral position
(g) Verify 15° +/- 1° down and 25° +/- 1° up elevator travel. (Refer to 27-30)
(h) Verify minimum rod end thread engagement of 0.312 inch (0.79 cm).
(i) Verify proper installation of safety wires and cotter pins on all fasteners and engagement
of all jam nuts through complete elevator control system.
(j) Install access panels RE1 and RE2.(Refer to 6-00)
(k) Install baggage compartment carpet and access panel CF5. (Refer to 6-00)
