Overview
The Control Wheel Assembly, Piper P/N 62478-01, is a critical flight control component within the cockpit of various Piper PA-28 Cherokee aircraft. This assembly serves as the primary pilot input device for pitch and roll control, transmitting mechanical commands through the control column to the aircraft's elevator and aileron systems. It is an integral part of the aircraft's flight control system, providing the pilot with tactile feedback and precise manipulation capabilities for safe and effective flight operations. The assembly typically includes the yoke structure, grip, and often provisions for switches such as push-to-talk (PTT) or electric trim.Specifications
