 ATA 27 FLIGHT CONTROLS | 27.00 GENERAL Presentation

Control of the aircraft is achieved on the three

ATA 27 FLIGHT CONTROLS axes by primary flight controls and secondary
flight controls.
27.00 GENERAL Roll, pitch and yaw control are the primary flight
Presentation controls:
Roll control is performed on each wing by one
aileron, with a spring tab, and one spoiler.
Pitch control is performed by two elevators with
their balance tabs.
Yaw control is performed by the rudder and its
spring tab.
Flaps are provided on each wing. They are the
secondary flight controls.

The ailerons, elevators and rudder are

mechanically actuated.
The spoilers and flaps are hydraulically
operated, using the blue hydraulic circuit.
A gust lock system protects roll and pitch
controls on the ground.
Auto pilot inputs drive ailerons, elevators and
rudder. They can be overridden by the pilot.
The elevators and tabs, the rudder and spring
tab and the flaps are composed of hybrid of
kevlar - carbon / nomex sandwich.
The ailerons and tabs and the spoilers are
composed of carbon monolithic structure.
The aircraft is provided with four trim actuators
which are all interchangeable.
