At annual on DA 40 NG pedals?

Post by helidoc67 »

Does anyone know if they service or adjust the foot pedals when doing the annual?

Thanks

Hello,

I don’t think so, but you can have a look in the AMM to check if it’s an item.

The DA 40 NG AMM (page 9 in section 05-28-50, item 12) calls for inspection, but not necessarily adjustment at the annual (and 100 hours).
  • Incorrect attachment and function.
  • Corrosion and damaged surface protection.
  • Damaged adjustment mechanism.
  • Improper function of adjustment mechanism.
Why do you think your pedals might need adjusting? Perhaps it's the rudder trim tab or the NLG tension that needs adjusting.

The pull cord does not move the collar that I suspect allows travel of the pedals with pressure when trying to adjust. When i pull on the cable it seems stretched.

Yes, this should be addressed during the annual inspection (to your original question) per the AMM.
