Stabilizer Trim Wheel
Note: Handle should be folded inside stabilizer trim wheel for normal operation to
prevent possible injury.
Manual stabilizer control is accomplished through cables which allow the pilot to
position the stabilizer by rotating the stabilizer trim wheels. The stabilizer is held
in position by two independent brake systems. Manual rotation of the trim wheels
can be used to override autopilot or main electric trim. The effort required to
manually rotate the stabilizer trim wheels may be higher under certain flight
conditions. Grasping the stabilizer trim wheel will stop stabilizer motion.
Stabilizer Trim Operation with Forward or Aft CG
In the event the stabilizer is trimmed to the end of the electrical trim limits,
additional trim is available through the use of the manual trim wheels. If manual
trim is used to position the stabilizer beyond the electrical trim limits, the stabilizer
trim switches may be used to return the stabilizer to electrical trim limits.
