King Air 200/B200 Flight Controls and Rigging Diagnostics
Trace manual aileron, elevator and rudder controls, separate trim drives, conventional rudder assistance and the four-flap protection system. A 39-page handbook and clickable visual workshop connect ten lesson decisions, ten paired fault cases and three independent five-field rigging jobs. Includes a separate 40-question final at 80%. Locate real control wheels, electric-trim switches, rudder trim and flap controls, then follow the normal mechanical roll-control flow.
Identify the control-wheel, pedal, quadrant, cable, bellcrank, pushrod and stop relationships before diagnosing the observed surface response.
Trim, assistance and powered functions
Separate actual tab geometry from indication, split-switch operation from electric-trim disconnect and clutch capability, and conventional rudder-boost pressure from mechanical servo-cable transfer.
Measured rigging comparisons
Interpret aileron endpoint/differential/force/lost motion, each tab free-play fixture, final elevator average and the distinct bobweight cushion/stop-clearance measurements.
Four-flap drive and protection
Trace the four shaft/actuator paths, right-inboard indication, serial/kit protection branch and Pro Line 21 direction-specific approach checks. Connect stall-warning flap and air/ground inputs to their named checks.
Learning outcomes
Choose the actual flight-control task from serial, modification and installed equipment records.
Trace a reported failure through its named mechanical, electrical or pneumatic component path.
Calculate and classify the stated angle, force, tension, clearance and four-load free-play results.
Separate a correct indication from actual four-flap synchronization and protection response.
Build a repeatable correction, restoration and measured retest record.
Aircraft and course applicability
Systems and maintenance-record training for the identified King Air 200/B200 branches of Maintenance Manual 101-590010-19 Chapter 27, supplied effective-page list November 1, 2024. Aircraft serial, S.I. 0960, installed bobweight/flap-safety kits and avionics configuration select the task. The study edition does not establish current aircraft applicability; physical rigging uses current controlled instructions, task equipment and qualified personnel.
WWAOG provides independent training. Online completion records knowledge and simulation achievement; it does not replace observed practical qualification, employer authorization or applicable licensing. Use current aircraft-effective maintenance instructions for physical work.

If you are choosing training for a different installation or a team, email info@wwaog.com with your aircraft configuration, learner experience and training goals.
Where do I find the price and sign up?
Open the KA200-027 enrollment page for the current price, course contents and signup options. Enrollment takes place in WWAOG Academy, where learners access their assigned content.
Can WWAOG train our team at our location?
Yes. Tailored on-site training is available by separate arrangement. Describe your aircraft, location, team size and learning objectives so WWAOG can propose an appropriate scope.
KA200-027 · Start with the real cockpit
Find the flight controls, then follow what they move
A control wheel, a trim switch and a flap selector do different jobs. Find each visible control, read its normal purpose, then follow the named mechanical or electrical path before trying the course’s measured fault cases.

Normal roll-control path: from the wheel to the ailerons
Original simplified relationship diagram. It shows the normal manual roll-control path, not cable routing, dimensions, an autopilot schematic or a rigging procedure.
1
Control wheels
The pilot or copilot rotates a mechanically interconnected wheel.
2
Control-column chain and cables
Sprockets, chain and the column cable assembly carry wheel rotation into the aileron cable circuit.
3
Fuselage cables and aileron quadrant
The fuselage cable path moves the applicable quadrant or compensating-quadrant arrangement.
4
Wing cables and bellcranks
Cables in the wings carry the movement to the aileron bellcranks.
5
Push-pull rods and ailerons
The rods connect each bellcrank to its aileron, producing the corresponding surface movement.
Expected normal response: From the pilot seat, turning the wheel right raises the right aileron and lowers the left aileron. Turning the wheel left reverses those movements. The cable-and-linkage path transmits that roll command mechanically; it does not require the flap motor or electric trim. Use the applicable maintenance task for the actual direction, travel, friction and lost-motion checks.

The photograph source identifies this cockpit as a B200GTI. This is a cockpit-layout example, not proof of a 200/B200 serial, modification or installed-control branch. The photo does not supply a rigging result. Match the aircraft records and applicable Chapter 27 task before maintenance.
This guided photo activity explains the visible equipment. Selecting a label does not operate an aircraft control or record course completion. Continue with the system diagram and supplied fault record to practice troubleshooting.

01 · Understand
One motor and gearbox drive four flexible shafts and jackscrew actuators. The cockpit potentiometer follows the right-inboard flap. The asymmetry mechanism compares the inboard/outboard pair on each wing and interrupts the common motor command at its installed rigged split. The cited trip-setting band is 3–6 degrees.

02 · Read the supplied record
A fictional B200 with the later roller-switch protection installed has supplied measured angles: left outboard 12°, left inboard 12°, right inboard 12° and right outboard 4°. Its indicator agrees with right inboard at 12°. In the prescribed controlled test, the normally connected protection circuit still permits the common flap motor command at the recorded split.
