Stabilizer Trim Wheel
Note: The handle must be folded inside the 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.
