What is the range of motion for the elevator in the T-1?

The range of motion for the elevators in the T-1 is critical for understanding how the aircraft maneuvers in response to pilot inputs. The specified range of 25 degrees up and 12 degrees down allows for effective control during various phases of flight, including takeoff, landing, and in-flight adjustments.

The upward range of 25 degrees enables the pilot to achieve sufficient pitch control to climb and manage ascent characteristics, while the downward range of 12 degrees allows for effective descent management and speed control. These values represent the aerodynamic design specifications of the aircraft, ensuring optimal performance and stability. Understanding this range is vital for pilots to execute safe maneuvers while maintaining control of the aircraft.
