Hi, I fly on a fleet of 733's. On top of the control wheel column there are the two stickers for the aileron trim. On some of the aircraft the stickers on the wheel section don't seem to be perfectly placed at the apex of the column (hard to describe without a photo but 73 crew should know what I mean). Are these stickers displaced from the center for rigging purposes or were the B team on the line that day when these aircraft rolled through the factory? I set the rudder trim so the apexes align rather than the stickers, is this correct?

cheers.

Don't know I fly new planes with new stickers! Mx says apex with aileron trim and rudder to zero. In flight wings level with no spoiler float. 10 degrees max.

BelowMDA,
My understanding is "rigging".
I may be a victim of "myth and legend" here but a trainer who I respect fairly much once explained the rigging process to me and the decal was, supposedly, adjusted for actual null.
edited to add:
my FCTM says use the decal for null.
