                           PART 1-DESCRIPTIVE

      AIRCRAFT CONTROLS

      19.   Flying controls

 	    The flying controls are conventional.   Each control
 	    column handgrip incorporates a brake lever, gun firing
 	    switch, bomb/R.P. release switch and camera operating
 	    switch.   The rudder pedals are adjustable for leg reach
 	    by lifting them from one slot to another.

      20.   Flying controls locking gear

 	    The flying controls locking gear consists of a "Y"
 	    shaped fitting, which connects the rudder pedals and
            control column, and a quick release pin which prevents
 	    the upper portion of the stick from moving thereby
 	    locking the ailerons.

      21.   Trimming tab controls

      (a)   The elevator trimming tab control wheel (8) is positioned
 	    on the side of each engine control box.   An indicator (19)
 	    is fitted at the top left-hand side of the instrument panel.

      (b)   No pilot-operated controls are fitted for aileron and
 	    rudder trim, but a ground adjustable tab is fitted on each
 	    aileron and each rudder.

      22.   Undercarriage control and position indicator

      (a)   The selector lever (11) on the left of the cockpit extends
 	    from the rear of the engine control box.   The selector
 	    lever (65) on the right is mounted in a quadrant on the
 	    starboard wall.   Each lever has two positions, UP and
 	    DOWN and being mechanically interconnected, either
            may be used to operate the undercarriage.   When the
 	    weight of the aircraft is on the wheels , the port selector
 	    lever is locked in the DOWN position by a solenoid
 	    operated plunger.

      (b)   A standard position indicator (24) is above the centre
 	    of the instrument panel.   An undercarriage WARNING
 	    light (22) is below the indicator and comes on if any of the
 	    wheels is locked up and the throttle is less than a third
 	    open.
