Pilot's Manual
The elevator aft disconnect is an electro-mechanical device located in
the top of the vertical stabilizer. When the ELEV DISC T-handle is
pulled, a two-position linear actuator on the elevator aft disconnect as-
sembly is energized to the extended position (disconnected position),
separating operation of the two elevators. The linear actuator will re-
main in the extended position. When the elevator aft disconnect is ac-
tuated, the elevator disconnect sensor will send a signal to display a
message on the Crew Alerting System (CAS). Do not reconnect. Obtain
maintenance prior to next flight. Electrical power used by the elevator
disconnect system is through the ELEV DISC circuit breaker located on
the pilot's circuit breaker panel (FLIGHT group).
The following CAS illuminations are specific to the elevator disconnect:

RUDDER

Directional control is provided by a dual closed-loop cable system with
separate parallel paths in the engine area for rotor burst considerations.
Rudder pedal movement is mechanically translated into rudder control
surface movement through cables, pulleys, and bellcranks. There is an
electrically driven rudder boost system to provide additional rudder
control power in the event of an engine-out on takeoff.

RUDDER PEDAL ADJUSTMENT SWITCH

The pilot's and copilot's rudder pedals are individually adjustable with
a spring-loaded toggle switch to accommodate differences in crew size.
The pilot operated toggle switch controls a linear actuator which pro-
vides forward and aft pedal adjustment. This toggle switch is labeled
RUDDER PEDAL, and located on the lower outboard corner of the pi-
lot's and copilot's switch panel. Each switch has three positions: FWD,
Off, and AFT. Only the FWD and AFT positions are labeled. The rudder
pedal adjustment is powered by 28-vdc supplied through two 3-amp
circuit breakers, L RUD ADJUST and R RUD ADJUST, on the pilot's
and copilot's circuit breaker panels (FLIGHTgroup).
