19 Special features of the aircraft equipped for handicapped
pilots
1. Equipment
If the following additional equipment is installed in the aircraft, it can be
operated without using the feet to control the nose wheel and the rudder:
1. modified throttle shaft including throttle lever extension
2. rudder control lever with push rod
3. placard on the rudder control lever
Installation must be undertaken in accordance with the instructions of the
manufacturer. The unauthorised alteration of the equipment for handicapped
pilots is not permitted.
2. Installation / Dismantling
The rudder control lever is installed by attaching to the mounted axle in the
main tube and bolting with a hexagonal bolt M8x40.
The push rod which is attached to the rudder control lever is connected to
the right pedal of the left seat by a quick-release fastener. The sliding sleeve
of the quick-release fastener is then checked for a proper fit in the locked
position.
Throttle lever length is then set so that the knob of the throttle lever is
approximately ten to thirty millimetres under the rudder control lever and can
pass freely under it.
The additional control equipment is dismantled in reversed order.
