C. Hoisting Points.
- The LH and RH spar boxes each have two hoisting points on the upper
surface. Each hoisting point has a hoisting lug which is installed in
the spar box structure. When they are not in use, the hoisting points
make a smooth surface with the stabilizer. When you use the hoisting
points you must remove the hoisting lugs and install them in an
opposite position. Then the eye ends come out of the stabilizer
contour.
D. Resting Points.
- To put the horizontal stabilizer on a support when it is removed, the
spar box has resting points. Each side has four resting points on the
lower surface. Each resting point has a resting pin which is installed
in the spar box structure. When they are not in use, the resting pins
make a smooth surface with the stabilizer. When you use the resting
points, you must remove the resting pins and install them in an

TRIMMABLE HORIZONTAL STABILIZER ATTACH FITTINGS - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
___________________________________________________________________________
1. General.
________
A. Different attach fittings are installed on the spar boxes and the center
joint of the Trimmable Horizontal Stabilizer (THS).
These are:
- the fittings for the attachment of the horizontal stabilizer to the
cone rear fuselage structure,
- the Y-load fittings,
- the fittings for the attachment of the horizontal stabilizer to the THS
hydromechanical actuator,
- the hinge arms for the attachment of the left-hand (LH) and right-hand
(RH) elevators,
- the fittings for the attachment of the elevator support struts,
- the fittings for the attachment of the elevator to the elevator servo
control-units,
- the fittings for the attachment of ground support equipment,
- the fittings to hoist and to support the THS.
2. ____________
Description.
(Ref. Fig. 001)
A. THS Attachment Fittings.

- The THS is attached to the cone rear fuselage structure at two pivot
points. The pivot points have attach fittings and support fittings.
They are installed on each side of the THS centerline at RIB 3.
The upper and lower attach fittings are made of Carbon Fiber Reinforced
Plastic (CFRP). Rivets attach them to RIB 3 and to the skin of the
sparboxes. They have eye-ends for the attachment of the support
fittings.
The support fittings are made of CFRP and bolts attach them to the
eye-ends of the attach fittings. Rivets attach the flanges of the
support fittings to the rear spar of the THS. Bearings are fitted in
the pivot points of the support fittings.
Y-load fittings, made from milled light alloy are installed on RIB 4 of
the THS. These keep the primary attach bolts in the correct alignment
axis.
B. THS Adjustment.
- You can adjust the angle of incidence of the THS with an
hydromechanical actuator. The actuator is connected to a dual fitting
at the forward end of the center joint. The fittings are made of
stainless steel.

C. THS Hinge Arms.
- The LH and RH spar boxes have six hinge arms to hold the elevators. The
hinge arms are installed to the rear spars and the upper and lower skin
shells. Each hinge arm has a fitting with a bearing at its outer end to
attach the elevators. The elevator hinge arms are made of CFRP.
D. Elevator Support Strut.

- A fitting for the installation of the elevator support strut is
installed on the LH and RH of the rear spar. They are installed at the
rib No. 9. The attach fittings are milled components made of light
alloy.
E. Elevator Servo-control Attachment Fittings.

- Fittings for the attachment of the elevator servo controls are
installed on the rear spar. They are installed at the ribs No. 7 and
No. 8. The attach fittings are made of layers of CFRP.
F. Ground Support Equipment Fittings.

- Two different types of attach fittings for ground support equipment are
installed on the THS . To the fitting at the lower side of the center
joint a support strut is installed when you remove/install the THS
actuator. To the fittings at the rear spars distance struts are
installed when you remove/install the THS bearings.
G. Hoisting and Resting Points.

- Two hoisting points and two resting points are installed on each side
of the THS. The fittings of the hoisting points are installed in the
upper surface. The fittings of the resting points are installed in the
lower surface. All fittings are milled components made of light alloy.

___________
R **ON A/C 001-012, 014-019,
R A. Spar Box Structure
R (1) The vertical stabilizer spar box has a front, center and rear spar,
R ribs and side shells. Seven rudder hinge arms and three actuater
R fittings are attached to the rear spar and the side shells. Hi-Lok
R fasteners are used to attached them. All components are made of
R laminations of the Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP).
R (2) The left-hand and right-hand side shells are made by a

R one-shot-bonding technique. The skin, stringers, webs and three
R fuselage attachment fittings are one unit.
R (3) The front spar and the rear spar are riveted between the two side
R shells. Hi-Lok rivets are used for the installation. The spars have a
R number of holes to give access to the inside of the spar box. An
R intermediate spar is riveted between rib 1 and rib 2. Each spar has a
R transverse-load fitting at its lower end.
R (4) The spar box has eleven ribs. Except for rib 1 and rib 2, they are at
R right angles to the rear spar. The center spar divides rib 1 into
R two. All ribs are riveted to the side shells, webs and through angles
R to the spars. Hi-Lok fasteners are used to attach them.
R (5) Two hoisting points are installed on each side of the spar box. Each
R hoisting point has a threaded sleeve which is bonded into the side
R shell and a hoisting lug. When they are not in use, the hoisting
R points make a smooth surface with the spar box. When you use the
R hoisting points, you must remove the hoist fittings and install them
R in the opposite direction. Then the eye ends come out of the side
R shells contour.

**ON A/C 001-012, 014-019,
A. Leading Edge Structure
(1) The leading edge is divided into three sections to make replacement
procedures easier. Each section is made of laminations of Glassfiber
Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) over a honeycomb core. The fronts are made
stronger to protect them against hail and bird impact damage. The
outer surface has a coat of a special paint to prevent erosion. The
sections are attached to the forward flanges of the side shells with
countersunk screws. Ribs connect the sections to each other.
(2) Each leading edge section has a hoisting point. Each hoisting point
has a threaded sleeve, which is bonded into the section, and a hoist
fitting. When they are not in use, the hoisting points make a smooth
surface with the leading edge. When you have to use the hoisting
points, you must remove the hoist fittings and install them in the
opposite position. In this case the eye-ends come out of the leading
edges contour.

A. Vertical Stabilizer Tip Structure
(1) The vertical stabilizer tip is made of laminations of Glass Fiber

Reinforced Plastic (GFRP) on a honeycomb core. It is attached to the
leading-edge end-rib and the stabilizer spar box. Countersunk screws
are used to attach it.
(2) A light-alloy lightning conductor is bonded along the top of the tip.
Two lightning conductors are laminated to the left-hand and
right-hand outer surface. A fourth lightning conductor is laminated
to the inner surface of the tip. A static discharger is attached to
the lightning conductor on the top of the tip.
(3) The vertical stabilizer tip has two hoisting points. The hoisting
points have threaded sleeves which are bonded into the tip and hoist
fittings. When they are not in use the hoisting points make a smooth
surface with the tips contour. When you use the hoisting points you
must remove the hoist fittings and install them in the opposite
position. Then the eye ends come out of the tips contour.
