4. Procedure
Subtask 55-33-00-820-050-A
A. Adjustment of the Clearance between the Trailing Edge Panels of the Vertical Stabilizer and the Rudder
F Adjustment of the Clearance between the Trailing Edge Panels and the Rudder
CAUTION: BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU REMOVE OR INSTALL THESE ACCESS PANELS. IF YOU LET THEM FALL, DAMAGE CAN OCCUR TO THEM OR TO THE AIRCRAFT STRUCTURE.
   (1) If necessary, open/remove the trailing edge access-panels of the vertical stabilizer (Ref. AMM TASK 55-33-13-010-002).
   (2) Measure the clearance A between the trailing edge access-panels of the vertical stabilizer and the leading edge of the rudder with a GAGE - FEELER.
     (a) Do this at each rudder hinge-arm position on the LH and RH side.
NOTE: The rudder must be in the neutral position.
   (3) Make sure that the clearance A is 4 +2 mm or -2 mm (0.1575 +0.0787 in. or -0.0787 in.).
   (4) If the clearance A is less than 2 mm (0.0787 in.), do the adjustment of the trailing edge access-panels.
   (5) If necessary, put the GFRP LOCALLY MANUFACTURED - SHIM PLATE of the 1 +2.6 mm or -0 mm (0.0394 +0.1024 in. or +0.0000 in.) in position on the support structure of the trailing edge panel and the rudder hinge arms.
NOTE: Use a maximum of two GFRP shims.
   (6) Safety the shim plate with rivets of 2.4 mm (0.0945 in.).
   (7) If the clearance A is more than 6 mm (0.2362 in.), you must contact Airbus for the necessary corrective action procedure.
