Cessna 152 Control System

CONTROL SYSTEM
AILERON CONTROL SYSTEM: The aileron control system is comprised of push-pull rods, Bellcranks, cables, Pulleys, sprockets and roller chains, all of which link the control wheels to the ailerons. A control "Y" interconnects the control wheels to the aileron cables.
CONTROL "Y": The control "Y" transforms rotation of the control wheels into pulling
motion on the aileron cables by means of sprockets and chains. The "Y" is pivoted at the
lower end to operate the elevator control system.
WING FLAP CONTROL SYSTEM: The wing flap control system is comprised of an electric motor and transmission assembly, drive pulleys, push-pull rods, cables and a follow-up control. Power from the motor and transmission assembly is transmitted to the flaps by a system of drive pulleys, cables and push-pull rods. Electrical power to the motor is controlled by two micro switches mounted on a floating arm assembly, by a camming lever and follow-up control. As the flap control lever is moved to the desired flap setting, the attached cam trips one of the micro switches, activating the flap motor. As the flaps move to the position selected, the floating arm is rotated by the follow-up control until the active micro switch clears the cam breaking the circuit and stopping the motor. To reverse flap direction. The control lever is moved in the opposite direction causing the cam to trip the second micro switch which reverses the flap motor. The follow-up control moves the cam until it is clear of the second switch, shutting off the flap motor. Limit switches on flap actuator assembly prevent over-travel of the flaps in the full UP or DOWN positions
ELEVATOR CONTROL SYSTEM: The elevators are operated by power transmitted from the control wheels through a series of cables, Bell cranks and a push-pull tube. The rear bell crank serves as an interconnect between the elevators and a bearing point for the travel stop bolts. An elevator trim tab is installed on the right elevator and is described
ELEVATOR TRIM CONTROL SYSTEM: The elevator trim tab, located on the right elevator. is controlled by a trim wheel mounted in the lower instrument panel. Power to operate the tab is transmitted from the trim control wheel by means of chains, cables and an actuator. A mechanical pointer. adjacent to the trim wheel indicates tab position. A "nose-up" setting results in a tab-down position.
RUDDER CONTROL SYSTEM: Rudder control is maintained through use of conventional rudder pedals which also control nose wheel steering. The system is comprised of the rudder pedals. Cables and pulleys, all of which link the pedals to the rudder and nose wheel steering

Cessna 152 Magneto Check

MAGNETO CHECK. NEVER ADVANCE TIMING BEYOND SPECIFICATIONS IN ORDER TO REDUCE RPM DROP. Too much importance is being attached to RPM drop in single ignition. RPM drop on single ignition is a natural characteristic of dual ignition design. The purpose of the following magneto check is to determine that all cylinders are firing. If all cylinders are not firing, the engine will run extremely rough and cause for investigation will be quite apparent. The amount of RPM drop is not necessarily significant and will be influenced by ambient air temperature, humidity, airport altitude, etc. In fact, absence of RPM drop should be cause for suspicion that the magneto timing has been bumped up and is set in advance of the setting specified. Magneto checks should be performed on a comparative basis between individual right and left magneto performance. a. Start and run engine until the oil and cylinder head temperatures are in normal operating ranges. b. Advance engine speed to 1700 RPM. c. Tu...

Brake System Cessna 172

                             BRAKE SYSTEM -MAINTENANCE PRACTICES              1. Description and Operation A. The hydraulic brake system is comprised of two master cylinders, located immediately forward of the  pilot’s rudder pedals, brake lines and hoses, and single-disc, floating cylinder brake assemblies located at  each main landing gear wheel. B. The parking brake system is comprised of a pull-type handle and mechanical connections which are  linked to the rudder pedal assembly. Pulling aft on the brake handle applies mechanical pressure to the  rudder pedals, activating the brakes and locks the handle in place. Turning the handle 90 degrees will  release the parking brake and allow for normal operation through the rudder pedals. C. Brake operation is accomplished by pushing on the upper part of each rudder pedal. This motion i...

McCauley Propeller Installation fixed pitch

Image
Propeller Installation for all fixed pitch propellers (except 1A162 model propellers).                   WARNING: MAKE SURE THE MAGNETO IS GROUNDED BEFORE INSTALLING  THE PROPELLER OR CONNECTING EXTERNAL POWER.                NOTE: McCauley recommends that propeller mounting nuts (if applicable) be replaced at each  propeller installation, whenever possible. However, nuts may be reused providing the threads are in good condition and the locking material prevents turning of the nut on the  stud by hand. Propeller mounting bolts must be magnetic particle inspected in accordance  with ASTM E-1444 or replaced whenever the propeller is removed from the engine.                NOTE: The aircraft maintenance manual or STC installation instructions should always be  consulted for any specialized procedures applicable to a specific aircraft....
