1. General
Critical Design Configuration Control Limitations (CDCCL).
Some procedures are in a Critical Design Configuration Control Limitation (CDCCL) category.
Elevator weight is a CDCCL item (ALS Part 2).
It is necessary to make sure that elevator weight stays in the specified limits after maintenance actions that can have an effect on its weight such as, but not limited to, repair or painting.
CDCCL items are identified by a WARNING in the procedures where they occur. When a procedure identifies a CDCCL item, it is a mandatory condition that you do the instruction correctly and accurately as the procedure tells you.
The elevators give pitch control to the aircraft. You can move the elevators to a maximum angle of 30 degrees upwards and 15 degrees downwards. Two servo control units at each elevator control the movement.

3. Description
The left-hand and right-hand elevators are the same in design and function but are opposite hand.
The structure of each elevator has a front spar, an upper and a lower skin panel and four ribs. All other components are attached to it.
Six hinge fittings attach each elevator to the spar box of the trimmable horizontal stabilizer. Two fittings attach the servo control units. You can remove the leading edge access-panels, the tips and the inboard end caps. Each elevator has three hoisting points and four static dischargers.
