MD-80 Unrestricted Rudder Travel

[joS3ph]

Can someone please tell me at what speed [IAS] does the "Rudder Travel Unrestricted Light" illuminate on an MD-80 [JT8D-200]?

I have been unable to locate the speed in the FCOM's. Does anyone know what section that speed should be listed in?

Thanks!

It´s been three years since I´ve flown the Mad Dog, but in my old books I´ve found a table for the rudder limits (AOM part 2 chapter 9 "flight controls" page 3 ). I tried to scan the page and post it here, but somehow I can´t put attachments to my post. So here it goes:


Rudder travel unrestricted light

MD 81/82 off above max. 181 KIAS
on below min. 148 KIAS

MD 87 off above max. 192 KIAS
on below min. 159 KIAS

MD 83 off above max. 201 KIAS
on below min. 165 KIAS


Hope this helps. :)
