- Reaffirmed
Scope
-
a
Maximum desirable force required to make or maintain a throttle setting, 22 N (5 lb), as applied by the control cable.
-
b
Amount of travel required for the engine throttle lever is as follows:
-
1
Two holes in the engine throttle lever at radii to provide 44.5 mm (1-3/4 in) and 70 mm (2-3/4 in) linear travel, idle to full throttle.
-
2
The engine throttle lever may be adjustable in length.
-
1
-
c
The holes in the engine throttle lever for attaching the cable terminal should be 6.35 mm (1/4 in) diameter. The engine throttle lever at these holes should not be more than 6.35 mm (1/4 in) thick. Common cable terminals used are ball joints, clevises, and pivots.
-
d
Provide clear cable path to the engine throttle lever.
-
e
Provide choice of cable paths from different angles. This can be done by having the engine throttle lever repositionable on the engine throttle shaft.
