0.4 air time
0.4 flt time
Inter-flight activities:
#. Temporarily installed rudder trim wedge using metal tape.
Purpose:
- Rudder trim check
Events:
- Checked rudder trim at the expected typical cruise condition of 2400 rpm, wide open throttle, 50 deg F lean of peak EGT.
Results:
- All three balls (EFIS, turn and bank, and wing leveler) were centred.
New Snags:
- None.
Existing Snags:
- Max rpm still decreases late in the flight.
- SD-8 Alternator - must run power wire to regulator.
- Pitch trim speed of movement is slow during a touch and go. Need to try it with the pitch trim speed governor removed.
