STABILATOR TRIM SYSTEM
MANUAL TRIM
The manual
stabilator trim
is
actuated
by
a
handwheel
lo-
cated
between
the front seats.
A
stabilator tab
position
indicator is
located
adjacent
to
the trim control hand-
wheel. Forward
movement
of
the
wheel
trims the air-
plane's
nose
down,
aft
movement
of
the wheel
trims
the
airplane's
nose
up.
ELEC TRIC TRIM
The optional
electric trim system is controlled by the ON-
OFF switch
located
on the instrument
panel,
a thumb
switch
on
the control wheel and a circuit breaker
on
the
right
subpanel.
The
ON-OFF switch must be
on
the ON
position
to
operate
the
system.
The
thumb switch
is
moved
forward for
nose
down, aft for nose
up
and when
re-
leased,
returns to
the
center OFF
position.
When the sys-
tem is not being electrically actuated, the manual
trim
con-
trol
wheel
may be used.
