I'm in the process of putting my flap position sensor in and I'm having an issue where the extreme limits of the flap motor exceed the travel limits of my flap position sensor.

Question: Once the flaps are rigged, does the flap motor travel to the extreme limits?  Or does it only hit one extreme and not the other?

Thanks,

Phil

I have my sensor near the wing root. The way it worked for me was I drilled  a hole closer to the pivot point, went from one extreme to the other without an  issue. You can determine the location and what it is on the Panel setup  later.

First adjust the flaps linkage for full flap up position with the flap motor (and sensor) in the full up position.  Go to full down flaps using the set points on the flap sensor rod and then verify they are in the acceptable deployment range.

It travels to the extreme limits.

Full up, the flaps are against the aft spar and cannot move any further. But full down, they can run to the motor limit if the little notch on the (standard, accessory) flap controler fails. I'd make sure the sensor has enough range to cover that possibility.

Full up the FLAPS themselves should be adjusted to be up against the aft spar.  The flap motor will reach its limit and continue to run.  Don't adjust the flaps such that the flap motor is still trying to move the flaps any further.  The motor must be allowed to free run without significant binding.

Full down the flap motor will also be at its limits but will continue to run.

The above statements apply to a system that does not have flap position system.  The flap system should be adjusted assuming one or more flap limit switches can / will fail and the system will continue to drive the flap motor.

It will hit both and pop the breaker if left to run.
