A

Indications: Aft feedback in cyclic at high A/S and/or during pullups from high A/S or higher than normal forces required to move the cyclic longitudinally.

Reduce airspeed to 100 knots or less.

Limit cyclic movements.

Abnormal movements are not required.

***Note: If the one-way lock has a push rod shaft or check valve seizure in the closed position, a pull or push of 10 to 20 lbs will be necessary to open the hydraulic relief valve and bypass the the check valve. This additional pull or push will be required for each susequent longitudinal movement of the cyclic stick. temporary forces as high as 40 lbs may be experienced when flying in turbulence.

37
Q

38
Q
