A balance tab is linked so that when the surface deflects down, the tab moves

  • A.Down, adding a moment that opposes the pilot
  • B.To neutral regardless of surface position
  • C.Only when the pilot selects trim
  • D.Up, adding a moment that assists the pilot

Answer: D

A balance tab is geared to move opposite to the surface, so its load assists the deflection and reduces the force the pilot must apply. An anti-balance tab is geared the other way and increases the force, which is what the second option describes. A tab that returns to neutral independently of the surface is a trim tab, driven by the pilot or an actuator. Pilot-selected movement alone also describes a trim tab rather than a geared balance tab.
