FAA AMT (Aviation Maintenance Technician) Airframe Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 1030

Improper rigging of the elevator trim tab system affects the balance of the airplane about its

Lateral axis

Improper rigging of the elevator trim tab system affects the balance of the airplane about its Lateral axis. This is because the elevator trim tab helps to control the aircraft's lateral movement, which refers to its side-to-side motion. If the trim tab is not properly rigged, it can cause the aircraft to be unbalanced in this axis and lead to difficulties in controlling the aircraft's lateral movements. The other options, such as the longitudinal axis (which refers to the aircraft's nose-to-tail movement), the vertical axis (which refers to the aircraft's up-and-down movement), and the horizontal axis (which refers to the aircraft's roll movement), are not affected by the elevator trim tab system. Therefore, they are incorrect choices.
