(4) Inspection/Check - Rudder System Rigging (See Figure 27-202)
Note: If the following rudder leading edge gap and overlap inspections do not fall within
the specified clearances, contact Cirrus Design Customer Service Department for
disposition.
The following rudder gap and overlap inspections apply only to the area between
the waterline of the horizontal stabilizer to the tip of the vertical stabilizer
(a) Acquire necessary tools, equipment, and supplies.
(b) Verify gap between rudder leading edge and trailing edge of vertical stabilizer has a mini-
mum of 0.060 inch (1.5 mm) and a maximum of 0.150 inch (3.8 mm) clearance when rud-
der is fully deflected right or left.
(c) Verify overlap between rudder and vertical stabilizer has a minimum of 0.00 inch (0.0 mm)
and a maximum of 0.125 inch (3.2 mm) clearance. Rudder may be deflected left 0° - 5° to
achieve right overlap, and may be deflected right 0° - 5° to achieve left overlap.
(d) Verify rudder neutral position remains at 0° +/- 1° with rudder pedals in neutral position.
(e) Verify 20° rudder deflection angle. (Refer to 27-20)
(f) Perform Rudder-Aileron Interconnect Inspection/Check. (Refer to 27-20)
(g) Verify minimum rod end thread engagement of 0.312 inch (0.79 cm).
(h) Verify proper installation of safety wires and cotter pins on all fasteners and engagement
of all jam nuts through complete rudder control system.
