EN ROUTEF Keep a Tight Cabin with New Rudder Pedal Sealslying a pressurized Twin valve arms and improved boots that Commander means flying help preserve pressurization.in comfort above most of the weather with high true airspeeds and low fuel consumption, but doing all of that assumes the pressurization system is in tip-top shape, with no leaks in the pressure vessel. Twin Commander Aircraft LLC has just developed a kit that ensures good results in an area that can be difficult to protect from pressurization leaks – the rudder-pedal horns.Leaks in the boots that enclose the rudder-pedal horns can result in noticeable loss of pressure differential, which means a higher cabin altitude at cruise. Twin Commander’s new rudder-pedal seal kit includes a plug for the rudder-pedal horns/brakeThe new kit replaces original factory-installed plugs on the rudder- pedal horns and brake links with an enhanced-material design. The rudder pedal boots are secured to the new-design plugs for a tight seal to prevent pressurized air in the cabin from leaking out.The new rudder-pedal seal kit is in stock at authorized Twin Commander Service Centers as CK-184 for Twin Commander models 680, 685, 690, and 690A/B/C; and CK-185 for the 690D and 695A.For more informationcontact Matt Isley at misley@•twin commander.com, 919.956.4323 or www.twincommander.com.
