AIRCRAFT RIGGING

• AIRCRAFT RIGGING
yaitu suatu proses pengturan pergerakan suatu
flight control surface yang sesuai dengan gerakan
nya terhadap titik netral. Pergerakan flight
control surface harus sesuai dengan pergerakan
flight control ( stick or control yoke )yang berada di
cock pit
• Aircraft rigging terdiri dari :
a. TENSION
b. RIGGING
c. STRUCTURAL ALIGNMENT
 LEVELLING THE AIRCRAFT AND RIGGING CHECK
• Levelling the aircraft
- the aircraft is level or in rigging position
lateral and longitudinal line are horizontal
- leveling used jack make the acft ldg claear 0f
the ground
- checking level for small aircaft used
pegs or block can be rested a straight edge
and spirit level and generrally attached to the
parllel with he datum line
Lateral or longitudinal level should be check first
 For large Aircraft:
- used grid methode
if the aircraft should be level need the equipment
as:
- Plum Bob
- lateral and longitudinal spirit level type
inclinometer are attached to the structure
 Rigging check
- Dehederal and incidence angles of conventional air
can not be checked.
- Its should be checked at specified period and after
heavy landing or abnormal flight load
- On large aircraft rigging used sighting rods and
theodolit

2. Developed by manufacture of the applicable product

and acceptable procedure to be followed when
maintaining or repairing that product.
Maintenance personnel are required by regulation to
follow the applicable instruction set forth by
manufacture.
The limitation of the product or component must be
complied with during inspection and maintenance

 AIRPLANE ASSEMBLY

1. Aileron Installation

2. Flaps Installation

3. Empennage Installation
1. CABLE MATERIAL :
Aircraft cable material are made from carbon steel and Corrosion Resistance Steel
2. CABLE CONSTRUCTION :
The basic component of cable is wire
The diameter of wire is determined of diameter of cable
The number of wire are peformed into helical shape or spirel then form a strand.
3. CABLE DESIGNATION
a. FLEXIBLE CABLE 7X19 ( Primary Flight Control )
b. MEDIUM FLEXIBLE CABLE 7 X 7 ( Secondary Flight Control ,engine control and
indicator control).
1. Wopen Splice.
- only about 75 % of the original cable strength
- hand woven 5 tuck splice.
2. Nicopress Process
- patented process using copper
- insured desired cable function and strength
3. Spliced
- suitable for used in civil aircraft
- including maximum load
4. SWAGED TERMINAL
- Maufacture in accordance with Army Navy
Malitary Standard (MS ) suitable for civil aircraft

Nicopress with timbal

 CABLE INSPECTION

Aircraft cable system are subject to veriety of enviromental condition

and deterioration
Wire and strand breakage is easy to recognize visually
Deterioration such as wear , corrossion,are not easily seen
Attantion should be given to area where cable pass through
battery compartment lavatory and wheel wells Special
attention should be given to critical fatigue areas.Those
area are defined as any where cable runs over ,under or
around pulley sleeved or through fairlead
CABLE INSPECTION TECHNIQUE
 TRAVEL ADJUSTMENT

Control surfaces should be move a certain distance in a

direction from the nuetral position.The movement must be
synchronized with the movement of the flight deck control.
The flight control system must be adjusted to obtain these
requirement
These tools for measuring include , protector, rigging fixtures
rulers , templetes
The rigging consists of the following:
1. positioning the flight control system in neutral and
temporarily locking it there with rig pins or block
2. Adjusting system cable tension and maintaining rudder,
elevator nad aileron in the nuetral position
3. Adjusting the control stops to the AMS(aircraft
manufacture specification)
• Measuring cable tension
yang harus dipenuhi dalam pelaksanaan tension :
- tensiometer harus acurate
- dilengkapi anvil
- a riser / plunger
- harus disesuikan dengan kondisi temperatur setempat
Tensiometer

CABLE GUIDE
• RIGGING :
a. Penempatan suatu flight control system dalam
posisi netral dan di locking untuk sementara
dengan menggunakan rig pin atau rig block
b. Mengatur pergerakan flight cintrol surface ,
pengaturan ketegangan cable , linkage , dan adjust
able stops yang disesuaikan dengan spsesifikasi
pesawat yang dikeluarkan oleh pabrik pembuat
pesawat tersebut
• Peralatan yang dibutuhkan saat rigging
- tensiometers
- cable rigging tension chart
- protector
- rigging fixture
