A CIRRUS SR22 WAS FOUND TO HAVE INCORRECT FLT CTL RIGGING DURING FAA VISIT TO A FLT SCHOOL OPERATOR.

Narrative

HAD THREE FAA INSPECTORS HAVE SEVERAL QUESTIONS ON ONE OF OUR ACFT AND IN THE PROCESS FOUND THE FLT CTL RIGGING TO BE INCORRECT. ALTHOUGH I'M NOT THE MAINT OUTFIT FOR THE ACFT; I AM THE OPERATOR AND HENCE; RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PLANE'S AIRWORTHINESS. THE RIGGING WAS DEEMED PROPER BY FIVE DIFFERENT MECHANICS; INCLUDING MYSELF; OVER A YEAR AGO. WHY IT HAS CHANGED; HOW IT CHANGED; AND WHO DUNNIT IS UNKNOWN. ALL THAT MATTERS NOW IS GETTING IT CORRECTED; WHICH WILL ULTIMATELY REQUIRE A DESIGN CHANGE BY THE MANUFACTURER. NTSB; FAA'S ACO; AND THE AIRCRAFT MANUFACTURER ARE INVOLVED. AS EXPECTED; WHEN THE CURRENT MAINT OUTFIT RE-INSTALLED THE AILERON AFTER RE-RIGGING; THEY INSTALLED IT IMPROPERLY; DESPITE THE NOTE POINTING THIS OUT IN THE ACFT'S MAINT MANUAL. THEY HAVE NOW REMOVED AND REINSTALLED THAT PART FIVE TIMES; PROPERLY.CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: RPTR STATED THE DESIGN FEATURES OF THE CIRRUS SR22 AND SR20 ARE SIMILAR REGARDING THE RUDDER-AILERON INTERCONNECT BUNGEE; THE PITCH TRIM; AND THE AILERON TRIM CARTRIDGES. LACK OF LUBRICATION OF TRIM CARTRIDGE AND INCORRECT RIGGING OF AILERON TRAVEL STOPS; ALLOWS FOR OVER-CENTERING OF AILERON TRIM AND LOSS OF ROLL CTL. THE RIGGING OF THE AILERON SYSTEM REQUIRES REMOVAL OF LEFT AILERON; PRE-RIG; AILERON RE-INSTALLATION; THEN A POST RIG. THE RUDDER-AILERON INTERCONNECT BUNGEE ISSUES ARE CENTERED AROUND ROLL TRIM NEUTRAL OR TO EITHER SIDE AND ELEVATOR FORWARD; AFT OR NEUTRAL. THE RPTR BELIEVES THESE ISSUES WILL REQUIRE A DESIGN CHANGE TO THE ACFT FLT CTL SYSTEMS.
