An actuation apparatus for an aerodynamic surface includes a cam track plate having a forward cam track and an aft cam track, a support arm coupled to the leading edge slat panel, the support arm having a forward roller and an aft roller thereon, the forward roller disposed in the forward cam track and the aft roller disposed in the aft cam track, and a bell crank pivotally mounted to the cam track plate, the bell crank having an aft end coupled by an aft link to the wing structure and a forward end coupled by a forward link to the support arm. The forward roller translates within the forward cam track and the aft roller translates within the aft cam track to cause downward rotation of the aerodynamic surface and increased camber of the aerodynamic surface as the aerodynamic surface is extended toward a deployed position.
