Piper PA34

[Blueskys]

My Seneca 3 has a problem when in level flight both control yokes are down to the left. On the ground ailerons are level and control yokes are level to. Rigging has been checked. There are fixed trim tabs on the flaps
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Rudder trim out of kilter?

Where is the ball?

Failing all that you need someone to give the flap trim tabs the appropriate 'adjustment'

[Blueskys]

Thanks, rudder is in trim and ball in the middle, do you think this "adjustment" might be a likely cure?

[Rod1]

“do you think this "adjustment" might be a likely cure?”

It will solve the problem at cruse. My concern would be what has changed to cause this issue?

Check the balance ball with a spirit level across the correct reference (or a long bit of plastic tube with some water to the wing tips)

If the system is the same as an Arrow, the flaps can be independently adjusted via the tie rod to the actuating arm - it is going to be a LAE/A&P job to do that bit though

I had a similar problem on my seneca 111 ,both the yokes have couplings which attach them to the aileron system,when the plane is on the ground see how much play there is between when the yoke moves to when the aileron moves if there is to much play get your engineer to change the couplings,also a fuel imbalance will cause the problem

[Blueskys]

Couplings have been changed, fuel is balanced.
At the moment the engineer thinks it might be a problem with the flaps, left flap 2 deg higher than the right
