ELEVATOR TRIM/ RUDDER CENTERING SPRING FAILURE
Test flights with failed springs has shown that a spring failure is easily recognized by the
pilot and that the aircraft is safe and controllable throughout its operating envelope with a
failed spring. Failure of an elevator spring exhibits a nose upward pitch of about four lbs
force on the control stick, is easily overcome and there is sufficient range in the pitch trim
system to re-trim for zero force. A failed rudder centering spring will cause an uneven force
of approximately eleven lbs. to overcome. In either case, a failed spring is a flight control
failure and the spring must be replaced to continue the airworthiness of the aircraft. In the
event a spring fails:

more nose down trim, possible beyond the limit of elevator trim. In the event of loss of
ballast:
