Task Instructions
1. With the rudder pedals locked in the middle position, use a digital level to set the angle between the rudder arms and rudder rails to 90° ± 1°.
Note:
Newer configurations or retrofits may have square/tapered tubes. Use 93.4° ± 2° with square/tapered tubes. Some protractors are unable to read over 90° and may read as either 86.6 or 3.4°. For BOTH, the tolerance is ± 2°. See Figure 167.
2. Remove MS21256-2 turnbuckle clip. Tension the rudder pedal cables to control the angle of rudder pedal arms using the rudder cable turnbuckles. Re-install MS21256-2 turnbuckle clip.
Verification Method
If the angle between the arms and rails can’t be set to 90° ± 1° (or 93.4° ± 2° for square/tapered tubes) by adjusting the turnbuckles, the control cables need to be re-rigged. Follow the process for re-rigging. (Rudder Pedals Remove and Redo)
