Aileron Balancing - Piper Malibu Meridian PA-46-500TP Airplane Maintenance Manual

C. Balancing (See Figures 2 and 3.)
To balance the aileron, the assembly must be complete, including the trim tab and all attaching
screws. Before balancing, bend the trim tab into its neutral position. Place the aileron assembly on
the knife edge supports in a draft free room with the beam perpendicular to the hinge centerline. Do
not place the tool on the trim tab. Calibrate the tool (see Balancing Equipment, 55-20-00). Read the
scale when the bubble level has been centered by adjustment of the movable weight and determine
the static balance limit.
There is no adjustment provision for the ailerons.
