Understand how command becomes surface response

TM-029 | Caravan Flight Controls & Troubleshooting

Mechanical paths

Primary controls, neutral, tension and trim

Powered functions

Normal and standby flaps by aircraft effectivity

Fault evidence

Trim free play, flap travel and diagnostic evidence
Understand Caravan 208/208B flight-control architecture, including earlier-aircraft and EX differences. Includes a 30-page handbook, interactive workbench, two measurement benches, 12 diagnostic cases and a 40-question final.

What's included?

  • 10 focused lessons
  • Completion certificate
  • 40-question final
  • 12 guided fault cases
  • 30-page handbook

Understand the connected system

Trace aileron and spoiler loops, elevator and rudder transmission, trim mechanisms and the shared flap actuator. Compare normal and standby motor logic, distinguish feedback from physical response, and identify configuration-specific checks.

Practise defensible fault isolation

Use six prediction-and-Apply exercises, trim-tab free-play and flap-travel benches, 12 diagnostic cases and an independent review. Complete the lab and pass the 40-question final at 80%.
