control system to give push-pull motion. They may be adjusted at one or both ends. Figure 2-79 shows the parts of a push rod. Notice that it consists of a tube with threaded rod ends. An adjustable antifriction ... attaches at each end of the tube. The rod end, or clevis, permits attachment of the tube to flight control system parts. The checknut, when tightened, prevents the rod end or clevis from loosening. They may have adjustments…

push-pull rods, drums, fairleads, flexible cables, and pulleys. All of these components make up the control system and must be adjusted or rigged from time to time. On single-engine aircraft, the rigging of the power lever controls ... computer controlled system, the computer sends electronic information through wires or buses to the fuel control to command it to follow pilot inputs from the flight deck. On older style aircraft the power lever control cables and push-pull rods…

adequate clearance between the various push-pull rods and tubes. Secure all locknuts, cotter pins, and safety as required. Figure 8-13. Power lever control system. Adjusting the Fuel Control The fuel control unit of the typical turbofan on older ... thrust can be obtained. The amount of thrust is dictated by the position of the power lever in the flight deck and the particular operation of the engine. Thus, the thrust of the engine and the consequent…
