[Trackley]

Hi guys can i adjust (tilt forward) the rudder pedals on my vg for more comfort with my L1 or is it part of the flight controls. Left for an L2?

Hi Trackley,

The pedal position is locked by the length of the steering rods that attach to the nose gear leg.

 

It is possible to move them forward if there is any thread showing on the spherical bearings, by screwing them into the rod and thereby shortening them a bit, or they could be cut an re-tapped but the amount would be limited by the adjustment left on the rudder cable adjusters.

 

And yes, this job best left for some experienced L2, and would have to be second checked and signed off in logbook.

 

Cheers
