GUST LOCK/DAMPER SYSTEM
The system and components protecting flight control surfaces from movement and damage by wind gusts while the aircraft is on the ground. Includes cockpit controlled surface locks common in light aircraft and independent hydraulic gust damper units mounted at each flight control surface on large jet powered aircraft. Does not include the dampening feature of the flight control power boost systems, which are filed with the specific control system (i.e., rudder damper). Typical parts are damper, cylinder, seal, rod end, lock pin cable, etc.
