Course Description
This basic maintenance course is designed to provide a general understanding of operation and effect of roll-, pitch-, and yaw control movements of an aircraft and the flight control surfaces required to do that. This includes also high-lift devices and more exotic controls like elevons, ruddervators and flaperons. This general section also addresses drag inducing devices, boundary layer control devices and control surface bias and balance panels. After learning the basic layout and functions of flight controls, the next two sections cover primary – and secondary flight controls in detail, by using actual aircraft systems from different manufacturers to be able to understand and compare the different designs. The last chapter of this course explains the necessary maintenance actions to balance flight control surfaces after maintenance and how to rig flight control systems and check for correct flight control movements. The course finishes with a comprehensive multiple- choice questionnaire allowing the participant to test his knowledge about flight controls.
