G. Flight controls

1) Primary controls (yaw, pitch and roll devices)

2) Secondary controls (Leading/trailing edge devices, flaps, trim and dampening mechanisms)

3) Means of actuation (direct/indirect)

Flight controls – Primary

The Cherokee Six is controlled in flight by the use of three standard primary control surfaces, consisting of:

• Ailerons,

• Stabilator and

• Rudder.

Operation of these controls is through the movement of the control column-tee bar assembly and rudder pedals.

On the forward end of each control column is a sprocket assembly. A chain is wrapped around the sprockets to connect the right and left controls and then back to idler sprockets on the column’s tee bar, which in turn connect to the aileron primary control cables.

Flight controls – Primary

The cables operate the aileron bellcrank and push-pull rods.

The stabilator is controlled by a cable connected to the bottom of the tee bar assembly and at the balance arm of the stabilator.

Cables also connect the rudder pedals with the rudder horn.

Flight controls – Trim

Provisions for directional and longitudinal trim control is provided by an adjustable trim mechanism for the stabilator and rudder.

The stabilator trim is controlled by a wheel and drum mounted on the floor tunnel between the front seats. Cables routed aft from the drum to the tail cone operate a screw assembly which in turn moves the stabilator trim tab.

The rudder trim is controlled by a knob and screw assembly attached to the rudder pedal assembly.

Flight controls – Flaps

The wing flap system consists of an operating handle, a cable routed from the handle to a torque tube and push-pull rods.

Through the push-pull rods and torque tube, the flaps are interconnecting and can be positioned in three locations of 10, 25 and 40 degrees.

Landing Gear - General

The landing gear incorporated on the PA-32 is a fixed, tricycle type, fitted with three 600 x 6 wheels.

The landing gear struts are of the air-oil type. Normal extension for nose gear = 3-1/4 inches. Normal extension for main gear = 4-1/2 inches.

Aircraft Ground Training:

Section 2 - Aircraft Systems

Landing Gear – Brake System

The two main wheels are equipped with a single disc hydraulic brake assembly which is actuated by a hand lever connected to a cylinder located below and behind the center of the instrument panel, or by individual cylinders attached to each rudder pedal.

The hand lever also doubles as a parking brake and may be operated by pulling back on the handle and pushing in on the button at the side of the handle.

To disengage the parking brake, pull back on the handle.

A brake fluid reservoir is installed on the left forward face of the engine firewall.

Landing Gear – Nose Wheel Steering

The nose gear, steerable through a 60 degree arc, enables a 30 degree turn in each direction.

To aid in nose wheel and rudder centering and to provide rudder trim is a spring device attached to the rudder pedal torque tube assembly.

A shimmy dampener is also incorporated in the nose wheel steering mechanism.
