CHAPTER 27
FLIGHT CONTROLS
INTRODUCTION
The primary flight controls of the Model 650 Series consist of ailerons, rudders, and el-
evators. The ailerons are hydraulically boosted but can be operated manually; the rud-
der and elevators are manually actuated with no powered assist. Rudder and aileron trim
is mechanical; pitch trim is accomplished electrically.
Secondary flight controls consist of electrically operated flaps and hydraulically actu-
ated spoilers. The spoilers can be used as speedbrakes to assist in lateral control, for rapid
descent, and to supplement braking after touchdown.

AND OPERATION
Control Wheels NOTES
The control wheels (Figure 27-1) provide
aileron control inputs through cables to the
crossover control quadrant. Each control wheel
is attached by a shaft to a cable drum, a cast-
ing with provisions for connecting cables at
separate points. The control wheels are not me-
chanically connected within the control
columns.

SYSTEM
GENERAL
The Citation 650 Series horizontal stabilizer
trim system (Figure 27-23) allows the flight
crew to alter the incidence of the horizontal
stabilizer to provide pitch trim control. The
stabilizer is positioned with an actuator which
is electrically driven by a primary or second-
ary trim system. Three modes of control are
available: primary, secondary, and autopilot
operation.

Spoiler Holddown Components
The spoiler holddown valve is a three-way,
two-position, normally open valve. In the open
position, main hydraulic system pressure
passes through the valve for normal opera-
tion of all spoiler/speedbrake actuators. In
the closed position, main pressure is cut off
to all spoiler/speedbrake actuators and is di-
rected to the holddown ports. Return fluid
from both wings passes through the holddown
valve when it is open or closed. The valve re-
ceives 28- VDC power from the HYD
SPOILER circuit breaker through the
SPOILER holddown switch on the pilot

SYSTEM
COMPONENTS DESCRIPTION
AND OPERATION
Stick Shaker
A stick shaker assembly is mounted on each
control column (Figure 27-46). Each shaker
consists of a housing enclosing a 28-VDC
motor and rotating weights. The shakers are
/
. energized through the angle-of-attack com-
puter when the proper threshold is reached.
Computer
The angle-of-attack computer is located on the
right side of the aircraft at FS 157.00 and WL
118.34. It is the central component of the stall
warning and indicating system (Figure 27-
47). Using a composite flap angle (average of
positions of potentiometers on asymmetry
brakes) and the right speedbrake angle as in-
dependent variables, it synthesizes angle-of-
attack thresholds which are compensated for
wing configuration. Whenever the in-flight
angle reaches or exceeds the threshold, the
computer supplies shaker power.
Transmitter Probe
Angle-of-attack transmitter probes located
on both sides of the aiprIane at FS 165.00 and
WL 119.81 are utilized to provide aircraft at-
titude information to the system. The transmit-
ter is a null-sensing internal vane instrument
employing a conical pressure-sensing probe
which extends through the aircraft fuselage
perpendicular to the local airflow. Directly
coupled to the probe are a paddle (internal
vane) and the electrical output elements. The
paddle has two blades. There are two separa-
tors in the transmitter housing so that two
paddle chambers are formed.

MAINTENANCE NOTES
CONSIDERATIONS
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
PRACTICES
NOTE
The following maintenance prac-
tices are of a general and abbreviated
nature. Complete procedures per-
taining to specific maintenance tasks
are found in Chapter 27 of the main-
tenance manual.
Control Cables
Control cable tension must be set to predeter-
mined values for proper flight control system
operation. Cable tension varies with cable
size, length, and usage, and is predicated on
ambient temperature. Complete cable ten-
sioning information is found in Chapter 27 of
the maintenance manual. A typical cable ten-
sioning graph is shown in Figure 27-49.
Cable Inspections
Control cables are subjected to a variety of en-
vironmental conditions and forms of deteri-
oration that result in wire/strand breakage or
corrosion. Broken wires can be detected by
passing a cloth along the length of the cable
(Figure 27-50).

maintenance action is required prior to flight:
• Primary trim system
• Speedbrake/spoiler system
• Roll spoilers
