Abstract
An aircraft rudder control system having one or more rudder pedal adjustment systems, each including a rudder pedal actuatable to control movement of a rudder, and further including a support frame component, a rudder pedal arm, a pin, a pin receiving component, a first lever, a second lever, and/or a solenoid. The rudder pedal arm is rotatably attached to the support frame component and the rudder pedal is attached to the rudder arm. While the pin is received in the pin receiving component, the rudder pedal arm is prevented from rotating. When the pin is withdrawn from the pin receiving component, the rudder pedal arm is freed to be rotatably repositioned by user foot actuation. The first lever can manually actuate the pin into and out of the pin receiving component, and the second lever is operated by the solenoid, actuating the pin when the solenoid is activated and deactivated.
