Assembly And Rigging Sectional And Final Practice Test

Where is the procedure for performing control surface rigging typically found?

Flight manual Maintenance manual Structural manual Pilot's operating handbook

Correct Answer:

Maintenance manual

Explanation:

Rigging control surfaces is a maintenance task, so the procedure is documented where maintenance procedures live. The maintenance manual provides the exact steps, required tools, permissible tolerances, and safety precautions for adjusting linkages, hinges, and actuators to achieve correct control travel and alignment. The flight manual and pilot’s operating handbook are aimed at pilots for operating the aircraft, not performing hardware adjustments. The structural manual covers the airframe’s structural data and limits, not the step-by-step rigging process. So the maintenance manual is the proper source for how to perform control surface rigging.
