On after start 'flow' the left pedal struck the pilots kick panel/map pouch. Pedal movement was restricted.This kick panel/map pocket needs to be re designed. In a cross wind situation this situation could be a catastrophic event.
The reporter described the map case as a vinyl pocket velcroed to the sidewall with a protrusion into the rudder pedal path when full right rudder is applied. This interference could be an issue during rudder and aileron flight control crosswind correction. The reporter has had three inference events.
A CE-680 Captain reported a vinyl map case on the Captain's side panel interfered with the left rudder pedal's extreme left outer lip during right rudder application and could be an issue during flight control crosswind correction movements.
