Flap servo Micro switch picture request

[rturbett]

Does anyone have Pics of the pathway/ repair of the flap microswitch?  (1980 J, no belly pan conversion)

Field mechanic has some knowledge, would like to help him in his efforts. Initial conversation, he thought he could access this through the side battery hatch, but I'm pretty sure its underneath.

Would love to help him with your advice.

At least for my Ovation (which provides "discrete" flap positions Up- T/O - Down) the microswitches can be found:

• for the up & down positions: directly positioned at the actuator (first pic)
• for the intermediate T/O position: actuated by a vane which sits on the rod actuating the flaps (second pic)

You will find them when opening the belly.

However, as far as I recall the J has "continuous" flap positions, so it might be a different design.

Best,

It is accessed through the belly. The actuator is just aft of the flaps.

There are two Honeywell microswitch replacement possibilities: V3L-3 comes with a lever. You can also use a V3-1 switch with a JV-5 lever. These are shown (somewhat confusingly) in the IPC.

Thank you !

All fixed- both switches replaced- since we were there.
