Required Actions

Conduct repetitive tests of the rudder pedal force or repetitive inspections of the rudder feel and centering unit to determine the condition of the inner spring. Take corrective action if necessary. Eventually replace the spring assembly with a new assembly to terminate the repetitive requirements.
