MAINTENANCE MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
1.

General

WARNING: All inspection intervals, replacement time limits, overhaul time
limits, the method of inspection, life limits, cycle limits, etc.,
recommended by Cessna are solely based on the use of new,
remanufactured, or overhauled Cessna approved parts.
If parts
are designed, manufactured, remanufactured, overhauled, and/or
approved by entities other than Cessna, then the data in Cessna's
maintenance/service manuals and parts catalogs are no longer
applicable and the purchaser is warned not to rely on such data
for non-Cessna parts. All inspection intervals, replacement time
limits, overhaul time limits, the method of inspection, life limits, cycle
limits, etc., for such non-Cessna parts must be obtained from the
manufacturer and/or seller of such non-Cessna parts.

2.

A.

The information in this publication is based on data available at the time of publication and is updated,
supplemented, and automatically amended by all information issued in Service Newsletters, Service
Bulletins, Supplier Service Notices, Publication Changes, Revisions, Reissues and Temporary
Revisions. All such amendments become part of and are specifically incorporated within this
publication. Users are urged to keep abreast of the latest amendments to this publication through
information available at Cessna Authorized Service Stations or through the Cessna Propeller Aircraft
Product Support subscription services. Cessna Service Stations have also been supplied with a
group of supplier publications which provide disassembly, overhaul, and parts breakdowns for some
of the various supplier equipment items. Suppliers publications are updated, supplemented, and
specifically amended by supplier issued revisions and service information which may be reissued by
Cessna thereby automatically amending this publication and are communicated to the field through
Cessna's Authorized Service Stations and/or through Cessna's subscription services.

B.

Inspection, maintenance and parts requirements for STC installations are not included in this manual.
When an STC installation is incorporated on the airplane, those portions of the airplane affected by
the installation must be inspected in accordance with the inspection program published by the owner
of the STC. Since STC installations may change systems interface, operating characteristics and
component loads or stresses on adjacent structures. Cessna provided inspection criteria may not be
valid for airplanes with STC installations.

C.

REVISIONS, REISSUES and TEMPORARY REVISIONS can be purchased from your Cessna
Service Station or directly from Cessna Propeller Aircraft Product Support, Department 751, Cessna
Aircraft Company, P.O. Box 7706, Wichita, Kansas 67277-7706.

D.

Information in this Maintenance Manual is applicable to all U.S. and Foreign Certified Model
182 airplanes beginning at serial 18280001 and T182 airplanes beginning at serial T18208001.
Information unique to a particular country is identified in the chapter affected.

E.

All supplemental service information concerning this manual is supplied to all appropriate Cessna
Service Stations so they have the latest authoritative recommendations for servicing these Cessna
airplanes. It is recommended that Cessna owners utilize the knowledge and experience of the Cessna
Service Station.

Cross Reference Listing of Popular Name Verses Model Numbers and Serials
A.

All airplanes regardless of the manufacturer, are certified under model number designations. Popular
names are often used for marketing purposes. To provide a consistent method of referring to these
airplanes, the model number will be used in this publication unless the popular name is necessary
to differentiate between versions of the same basic model. The following table provides a listing of
popular names, model numbers and serial numbers.

When the chapter/system element number is followed with zeros in the section/subsystem and
subject/unit element number (21-00-00), the information is applicable to the entire system.
When the section/subsystem element number is followed with zeros in the subject/unit element
number (21-51-00), the information is applicable to the subsystem within the system.
The subject/unit element number is used to identify information applicable to units within the
subsystems. The subject/unit element number progresses sequentially from the number -01 in
accordance with the number of subsystem units requiring maintenance information.
All system/subsystem/unit (chapter/section/subject) maintenance data is separated into specific
types of information: description and operation, troubleshooting, maintenance practices. Blocks
of sequential page numbers are used to identify the type of information:
Page 1 through 99 - Description and Operation
Page 101 through 199 - Troubleshooting
Page 201 through 299 - Maintenance Practices
Page 301 through 399 - Servicing
Page 401 through 499 - Removal/Installation
Page 501 through 599 - Adjustment/Test
Page 601 through 699 - Inspection/Check
Page 701 through 799 - Cleaning/Painting
Page 801 through 899 - Approved Repairs

MODEL 182/Ti 82
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
TIME LIMITS/MAINTENANCE CHECKS
1.Scope
A. This chapter provides the time limits and maintenance checks for the Model 182 airplanes. It is divided
into several sections, each with a specific purpose toward providing information necessary to establish
inspection criteria.
2.

Inspection Requirements
A. As required by U.S. Federal Aviation Regulations, all civil aircraft of U.S. registry must undergo
a complete inspection (annual) each twelve calendar months. In addition to the required annual
inspection, aircraft operated commercially (for hire) must have a complete inspection every 100
hours of operation.
B.

Compliance with the regulations is accomplished using one of three methods:
(1) Traditional (Annual/i100 Hour) inspection program which utilizes 14 CFR 43, Appendix D
(scope and detail) to inspect the airplane. In addition, Cessna recommends certain components
or items be inspected at 50 hour intervals. These inspection items are listed in Inspection Time
Intervals, Section 5-10-01.
(2) Progressive Care inspection program which allows the work load to be divided into smaller
operations that can be accomplished in a shorter time period. This method is detailed in
Progressive Care Program, Section 5-12-00.
(3) PhaseCard inspection program which is geared toward high-utilization flight operations
(approximately 600 flight hours per year). This system utilizes 50-hour intervals (Phase 1 and
Phase 2) to inspect high-usage systems and components. At 12 months or 600 flight hours,
whichever occurs first, the airplane undergoes a complete (Phase 3) inspection. PhaseCard
Inspection programs can be ordered through Propeller Aircraft Product Support. P.O. Box
7706, Wichita, KS 67277, Phone (316) 517-5800, Fax (316) 942-9006.

3.

Inspection Program Selection
A. The selection of an inspection program (Annual, Progressive Care or PhaseCard) is primarily based
on owner/operator preferences, whether an airplane is flown for hire, and numbers of hours flown
during the year.

4.

Description
A. Listed below is a brief description and intended purpose of each section of this chapter. For detailed
information related to each particular inspection program, refer to the specific section within this
chapter.
B.

Section 5-00-00, Time Limits/Maintenance Checks
overview of inspection requirements.

C.

Section 5-1 0-01, Inspection Time Intervals. The primary purpose of this section is to provide a central
location for inspection time intervals. This section may also be utilized in conjunction with 14 CFR
Part 43 to provide greater detail on inspection criteria when performing Annual/i 00 Hour inspections.

D.

Section 5-11 -00, Component Time Limits. This section provides a list of components which are lifeor time-limited. Although these components are not listed in any of Cessna's inspection programs,
they must be considered and included in whatever inspection program is used.
Section 5-12-00, Progressive Care Program. This section outlines the progressive inspection
program. The program is divided into four primary operations which cover all inspection requirements
up through the 200-hour interval inspection items. The remaining operations cover inspections which
are at intervals other than what the four primary operations cover. Refer to the Progressive Care
Program section for a more detailed description of the Progressive Care Program.

General Inspection Terms and Guidelines
When inspections criteria are required, these criteria are spelled out in the text. If more detailed
instructions are required for an inspection, these instructions will refer to the appropriate
locations (supplier publications and/or the maintenance manual).

NOTE:

A.

B.

Definitions of terms used through the inspection programs are as follows:
(1) ON CONDITION is defined as the necessary inspections and/or checks to determine that a
malfunction or failure of the component will not occur prior to the next scheduled inspection.
(2) CONDITION is defined as inspection for (but not limited to) cleanliness, cracks, deformation,
corrosion, wear, and loose or missing fasteners.
(3) SECURITY is defined as an inspection for looseness of fasteners and fastener securing devices
such as safety wire, cotter pins and self-locking nuts.
During Inspections, use the following general guidelines:
(1) MOVABLE PARTS: Inspect for lubrication, servicing, security of attachment, binding, excessive
wear, safetying, proper operation, proper adjustment, correct travel, cracked fittings, security of
hinges, defective bearings, cleanliness, corrosion, deformation, sealing, and tension.
(2) FLUID LINES AND HOSES: Inspect for leaks, cracks, bulging, collapsed, twisted, dents, kinks,
chafing, proper radius, security, discoloration, bleaching, deterioration, and proper routing;
rubber hoses for hardness or flexibility and metal lines for corrosion.
(3) METAL PARTS: Inspect for security of attachment, cracks, metal distortion, and heat
deterioration.
(4) WIRING: Inspect for security, chafing, burning, arcing, defective insulation, loose or broken
terminals, heat deterioration, and corroded terminals.

CAUTION: Torque values listed in this manual are not to be used for checking
tightness of installed parts during service.

I

(5) STRUCTURAL FASTENERS: Inspect for correct torque in accordance with applicable torque
values. Refer to Chapter 20, Torque Data - Maintenance Practices, during installation or when
visual inspection indicates the need for a torque check.
(6) FILTERS, SCREENS, AND FLUIDS: Inspect for cleanliness and the need for replacement at
specified intervals.
(7) A system check (operation or function) that requires electrical power, must be performed using
28.5 Volts, +0.25 or -1.00 Volts, bus voltage. This will make sure that all components are

~
C.

~~~operating
at their operational voltage.

Airplane file.
(1) Miscellaneous data, information, and licenses are a part of the airplane file. Check that the
following documents are up-to-date and in accordance with current Federal Aviation Regulations.
Most of the items listed are required by the Federal Aviation Regulations. Since the regulations
of other nations may require other documents and data, owners of airplanes operated outside
the United States should check with their own aviation officials to determine their individual
requirements.
(a) To be displayed in the airplane at all times:
1
Standard Airworthiness Certificate (FAA Form 8100-2).
2

INSPECTION TIME INTERVALS
1.

General
A.

The primary purpose of this section is to provide for inspection time intervals. The section 5-10-01
may be utilized in conjunction with 14 CFR Part 43 inspection scope and detail, but is not intended to
be utilized as the primary checklist for inspection of the airplane.
NOTE:

2.

3.

Procedure
A.

A complete airplane inspection includes all inspection items as required by 14 CFR 43, Appendix D,
Scope and Detail of annual/100 hour inspections. The chart provided in this section should be used
to augment the inspection.

B.

The Component Time Limits section (5-11-00) should be checked in conjunction with this inspection
to ensure proper overhaul and replacement requirements are accomplished at the specified times.

C.

The intervals shown are recommended intervals at which items are to be inspected based on normal
usage under average environmental conditions. Airplanes operated in extremely humid areas
(tropics), or in exceptionally cold, damp climates, etc., may need more frequent inspections for
wear, corrosion, and lubrication. Under these adverse conditions, perform periodic inspections in
compliance with this chart at more frequent intervals until the operator can set his own inspection
periods based on field experience.
(1) The 14 CFR Part 91 operator's inspection intervals shall not deviate from the inspection time
limits shown in this manual except as provided below: (Refer to 14 CFR 91.409)
(a) The aircraft can only exceed its inspection point up to ten hours if the aircraft is enroute to
a facility to have the inspection completed.
(b) In the event of late compliance of any operation scheduled, the next operation in sequence
retains a due point from the time the late operation was originally scheduled (reschedule if
late).
(c) In the event of early compliance of any operation scheduled, that occurs 10 hours or less
ahead of schedule, the next phase due point may remain where originally set.
(d) In the event of early compliance on any operation scheduled, that occurs more than 10
hours ahead of schedule, the next phase due point must be rescheduled to establish a
new due point from the time of early accomplishment.

Inspection Terms and Guidelines
A.

4.

The inspection guidelines contained in this section are not intended to be all inclusive, for no
such charts can replace the good judgment of certified airframe and powerplant mechanics
in performance of their duties. As the one primarily responsible for the airworthiness of
the airplane, the owner or operator should select only qualified personnel to maintain the
airplane.

For inspection terms and guidelines, refer to Chapter 5, Time Limits/Maintenance Checks - General.

PROGRESSIVE CARE PROGRAM
General
NOTE:

The inspection charts contained within the Progressive Care Program are not intended to be
all-inclusive, for no such charts can replace the good judgment of a certified airframe and
powerplant mechanic in performance of his or her duties. As the one primarily responsible for
the airworthiness of the airplane, the owner or operator must select only qualified personnel
to maintain the airplane.

A.

The program is divided into four primary operations (operations 1 thru 4) which cover all 50-hour,
100-hour, and 200-hour inspection requirements. The other operations include all of the inspection
requirements due at other intervals.

Operation 22

A FULL AIRPLANE INSPECTION includes all 50-, 100-, and 200-hour inspection items plus those
Inspection Items contained in other operations which are due at the specified time.
The Component Time Limits Section (5-11 -00) must be read at each inspection interval to make sure
that the correct overhaul and replacement requirements are done at the specified times.
The Inspection Operations have been develope d based on normal usage under average
environmental conditions. Airplanes operated in extremely humid areas (tropics), or in exceptionally
cold, damp climates, etc., may need more frequent inspections for wear, corrosion, and lubrication.
Under these adverse conditions, do the periodic inspections in compliance with the Inspection
Operations at more frequent intervals until the operator can set his own inspection periods based on
field experience. The operator's inspection intervals must not deviate from the inspection time limits
shown in this manual except as given below:
(1) Each inspection interval can be extended by 10 hours (if time-controlled), or by 30 days (if datecontrolled) or can be performed early at any time prior to the regular interval as provided below:
(a) In the event of late compliance of any operation scheduled, the next operation in sequence
keeps a due point from the time the late operation was originally scheduled.
(b) In the event of early compliance of any operation scheduled, that occurs 10 hours or less
ahead of schedule, the next phase due point can stay where originally set.
(c) In the event of early compliance of any operation scheduled, that occurs more than 10
hours ahead of schedule, the next operation due point must be rescheduled to establish a
new due point from the time of early compliance.

Operation 1 gives a list of item(s), which has all 50-hour interval inspection items and those 100- or
200-hour interval inspection items contained in the fuselage area. Items from other areas are included
to meet their required time interval.
Inspection items are given in the order of the zone in which the inspection is to be completed. A
general description of the inspection required and the Item Code Number for cross-reference to section
5-10-01 are shown. Frequently, the tasks define more specifically the scope and extent of each
required inspection. These tasks are printed in the individual chapters of this manual.
The right portion of each page gives space for the mechanic's and inspector's initials and remarks. A
copy of these pages can be used as a checklist when these inspections are completed.

General Inspection Criteria
A.

During each of the specified inspection tasks in this section, more general inspections of the adjacent
areas must be done while access is available. These general inspections are used to find apparent
conditions which can need more maintenance.

B.

If a component or system is changed after a required task has been completed, then that specified
task must be done again to make sure it is correct before the system or component is returned to
service.

C.

Do a preflight inspection after these inspections are completed to make sure all the required items
are correctly serviced. Refer to the Pilot's Operating Handbook and FAA Approved Airplane Flight
Manual.

D.

Lightning Strike.
(1) If the airplane is flown through an electrically charged region of the atmosphere, it can be struck
by an electrical discharge moving from cloud to cloud or from cloud to ground. During a lightning
strike, the current goes into the airplane at one point and comes out of another, usually at
opposite extremities. The wing tips, nose and tail sections are the areas where damage is
most likely to occur. You can find bums and/or erosion of small surface areas of the skin and
structure during inspection. In most cases, the damage is easily seen. In some cases, however,
a lightning strike can cause damage that is not easily seen. The function of the lightning strike
inspection is to find any damage to the airplane before it is returned to service.
(2) Lightning strike check. As the checks that follow are performed, complete the Lightning Strike/
Static Discharge Incident Reporting Form and return it to Cessna Propeller Aircraft Product
Support Dept. 751, Cessna Aircraft Company, P.O. Box 7706, Wichita, KS. 67277-7706. If

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

General
A. The Model 182fTi 82 is divided into numbered zones to provide a method for locating components
and/or placards throughout the airplane. The zones are identified by a three-digit number as shown in
the example below. The first digit in the sequence denotes the major zone (300 series for aft of cabin,
500 series for left wing, etc.). The second digit in the sequence further divides the zone into submajor
zones (Zone 51 0 for inboard portion of the left wing and Zone 520 for outboard portion of the left wing,
etc.). The third digit further divides the submajor zones into subdivisions (if no subdivision is needed,
this digit is typically assigned as 0 (zero).

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

1.General
A.

There are access and inspection panels on the interior and exterior of the airplane. These panels give
access to components and airframe areas.
NOTE:

B.
2.

3.

Panels that have hinges attached to them (like the oil door for example) are not referred to
as panels and are not included in this section.

This section can be used in conjunction with inspection practices (Chapter 5) or standard maintenance
practices to quickly find related components throughout the airplane.

Access/inspection Panel Numbering
A.

All access/inspection panels have a series of numbers and letters which identify their zone location,
sequence, and orientation.
(1) Zone Location - Zone location is identified by the first three numbers of any panels. This threenumber sequence is specified in Airplane Zoning - Description and Operation.
(2) Sequence - The sequence is identified by alphabetical letters follow the three-number sequence.
The first panel is identified as "A," the second panel is identified as "B", and so on.
(3) Orientation - The orientation for each panel is identified by one of four letters that come after
the sequence letter. The orientation letters are "T" for top, "B" for bottom, "L" for left, and "R"for
right.

B.

With
(1)
(2)
(3)

access panel 510AB as an example, the breakdown is as follows:
Zone Location = 51 0 (inboard portion of left wing)
Sequence = A (the first panel within the zone)
Orientation = B ( located on the bottom of the zone).

JACKING - MAINTENANCE PRACTICES

1.

General
A.

Normal jacking procedures involve lifting one main wheel at a time. This procedure is best
accomplished using a floor jack in conjunction with the built-in jack pad (located directly below the
step on each strut).

CAUTION: Jacking both wheels simultaneously at built-in jack pads is not
recommended. When using built-in jack pad, flexibility of the main gear
strut will cause the main wheel to slide inboard as the wheel is raised,
tilting the jack. If this occurs, the jack must be lowered for a second
operation.
B.
2.

Tools, Equipment and Materials
A.

3.

When the airplane needs to be raised off the ground at all points, the following procedure should be
used.

For a list of required tools, equipment and materials, refer to Lifting and Shoring - General.

Jacking Procedure
A.

Raise Airplane (Refer to Figure 201).
(1) Place wing jacks and padded blocks under front spar, just outboard of wing strut. Ensure that
padded block (1 inch X 4 inch X 4 inch with 0.25 inch rubber pad) is resting securely between
spar and jack.
(2) Raise wing jacks evenly until desired height is reached.

CAUTION: When placed on jacks centered under the wing front spar, the
airplane is slightly tail heavy. Tail stands must be used and weigh
enough to keep the tail down under all conditions. Additionally, the
tail stand must be strong enough to support any weight which might
be transferred to the tailcone area during maintenance, creating a
greater tail heavy condition.
(3) Carefully attach tail stand to tail tiedown ring.
B.

Lower Airplane (Refer to Figure 201).
(1) Detach tail stand from tail tiedown ring.
(2) Slowly lower wing jacks simultaneously until main tires are resting on ground.
(3) Remove wing jacks and pads from wing area.

General
A.

Towing.

CAUTION: When towing the airplane, never turn the nose wheel more than 29
degrees either side of center or the gear will be damaged. Do not
push on control surfaces or outboard empennage surfaces. When
pushing on the tailcone, always apply pressure at a bulkhead to
avoid buckling the skin.
(1) Moving the airplane by hand is accomplished by using the wing struts and nose landing gear
strut as push points. A tow bar attached to the nose gear should be used for steering and
maneuvering the airplane on the ground.
(2) When no tow bar is available, press down at the horizontal stabilizer front spar adjacent to the
fuselage to raise the nose wheel off the ground. With the nose wheel clear of the ground, the
aircraft can be turned by pivoting it about the main wheels.

MAINTENANCE PRACTICES

1.

General
A. This section provides maintenance instructions and inspection criteria for airplanes in flyable,
temporary and indefinite storage. Refer to the Lycoming Service Letter Li 80B (or latest revision).
(1) Flyable storage is defined as a maximum of 30 days of nonoperational status and/or the first 25
hours of intermittent engine operation.
(2) Temporary storage is defined as a maximum of 90 days of nonoperational status.
(3) Indefinite storage is defined as more than 90 days of nonoperational status.

2.

Flyable Storage

3.

A.

Flyable storage is a maximum of 30 days storage with no engine operation and/or the first 25 hours
of intermittent engine operation.

B.

C.

Engine temperature and length of operation time are very important in the control of corrosion. The
desired flight time for air cooled engines is at least one continuous hour at oil temperatures of 165
degrees F (74 degrees C) to 200 degrees F (93 degrees C) at intervals not to exceed 30 days. The
one hour does not include taxi, take-off, and landing time.
The aircraft temperature gages must operate correctly.

D.

The cooling air baffles must be in good condition and fitted properly.

E.

The oil cooler system must be of the proper size for the engine and airframe. Oil coolers that are not
the correct size can cause an engine to operate at too high or low a temperature. Low temperatures
are as dangerous as high temperatures because of build-up of water and acids.

F.

Pulling the propeller through by hand is not recommended when the airplane has not operated for
approximately aweek. Pulling the propellerthrough by hand before you start the engine orto minimize
corrosion can cause damage. When the propeller is pulled through by hand, the rings can remove oil
from the cylinder walls. The cam load made by the valve train removes oil from the cam and followers.
After two or three times of pulling the propeller through by hand without engine starts, the cylinders,
cam, and followers are left without the correct quantity of oil film. Engine starts without the correct
lubrication can cause the engine parts to score, which can cause damage to the engine.

G.

The pitot tube, static air vents, air vents, openings in the engine cowl, and other openings must have
protective covers installed to prevent entry of foreign object debris.

Temporary Storage
NOTE:

A.

The airplane is constructed of corrosion resistant, epoxy primed aluminum, which will last
indefinitely under normal conditions, if kept clean. The alloys are subject to oxidation. The
first indication of corrosion on unpainted surfaces is in the form of white deposits or spots.
Corrosion on painted surfaces shows up as the paint being discolored or blistered. Storage in
a dry hangar is necessary for good preservation and must be procured if possible.

Temporary Storage of the Airplane
(1) The tiedown rings must be used as electrical ground points for all ground wires during the refuel
procedures.
(2) Fill the fuel tanks with the correct grade of gasoline.

WARNING: During all fueling procedures, fire fighting equipment must be
available. In case of an accidental disconnect of a ground wire.
Two ground wires must be used from different points on the
airplane which are attached to separate ground stakes . Make
sure to ground the fuel nozzle the airplane.
(3) Clean and wax the airplane thoroughly.
(4) Clean all oil or grease from the tires.

(9) Turn battery and store in a cool, dry place. Service the battery periodically and charge as
required.
(10) Disconnect the spark plug leads.
(11) Remove the upper and lower spark plugs from each cylinder.
(12) Use a portable pressure sprayer to spray a preservative oil in the upper spark plug hole of each
cylinder (the piston must be in a down position). Rotate the crankshaft as each pair of cylinders
is sprayed.
(13) Rotate the crankshaft so that no piston is at a top position.
(14) If the airplane is to be stored outside, set the two bladed propeller in a horizontal position to
provide maximum clearance for passing airplanes.
(15) Spray each cylinder without moving the crankshaft to cover all interior surfaces of the cylinder
above the piston.
(16) Install the spark plugs and attach the spark plug leads.
(17) Spray two ounces of the preservative oil into the engine interior through the oil filler tube.
(18) Seal all engine openings exposed to the atmosphere using suitable plugs. Attach a red streamer
at each point that a plug is installed.

CAUTION: The pitot tube, static source vents, air vent openings in the engine
cowling and other similar openings must have protective covers
installed to prevent entry of foreign material.
(19) If the airplane is to be stored outside, tie it down using the procedures outlined in Chapter 10,
Mooring - Maintenance Practices.
(20) Attach a warning placard to the propeller to identify that the propeller must not be moved while
the engine is in storage.
4.

Indefinite Storage
A.
Put the airplane in indefinite storage.
NOTE:

Periodic inspections must be performed to make sure of the integrity of preservation
methods.. Refer to Chapter 10, Inspection During Indefinite Storage.

(1) Operate the engine for the oil temperature to reach the normal operating temperature.
NOTE:

Normal operating temperature is within the green arc of the oil temperature gage.
The engine oil must be drained while the engine is still warm.

Shut off the engine and remove the lower cowling to drain the engine oil. Refer to Chapter 71,
Cowling - Maintenance Practices.
(3) Lift the nose of the airplane slightly to aid in the removal of sludge in the engine oil sump.
(2)

WARNING: Avoid skin contact with engine oil. Any engine oil that
inadvertently gets on the skin should be immediately removed.
(4) Remove and discard the wire from the drain plug.
(5) Remove the drain plug and let the oil drain into an applicable container.
(6) Install plug in sump when all oil is drained.

NOSE LANDING GEAR SHIMMY DAMPER - SERVICING
1.

2.

General
A.

The nose gear shimmy damper (on airplanes that do not have the Lord Shimmy Damper) contains a
compensating mechanism in the hollow piston rod. This is for thermal expansion and contraction of
the hydraulic fluid in the damper. The shimmy damper must be filled fully with hydraulic fluid and be
free of air. Before the servicing of the shimmy damper, make sure that the compensating piston is at
the bottom in the piston rod. To disassemble the shimmy damper, refer to Chapter 32, Nose Gear Maintenance Practices.

B.

The nose gear shimmy damper (on airplanes with the Lord Shimmy Damper) uses rubber with a
lubricant to absorb nose wheel vibration. The damper piston shaft is attached to a stationary part,
and the housing is attached to the nosewheel steering torque arm assembly, which moves as the
nosewheel turns, causing relative motion between the damper shaft and the housing.

Shimmy Damper Servicing (For airplanes that do not have the Lord Shimmy Damper)
A.

Do the servicing of the shimmy damper as follows (Refer to Figure 301).
(1) Remove the shimmy damper from the airplane. Refer to Chapter 32, Nose Landing Gear Maintenance Practices.
(2) Hold the shimmy damper in a vertical position with the filler plug pointed up.
(3) Loosen the filler plug to drain the unwanted fluid.
(4) Let the spring go to the bottom of the floating piston in the shimmy damper rod.
(5) When the flow of the fluid stops, put a length of rigid wire through the bleed air hole in the setscrew
which is found at the end of the piston rod until the rigid wire touches the floating piston.
(6) Insert the wire to the depth of 3.81 inches (95.25 mm).
NOTE:

(7)
(8)

If the wire insertion is less than 3.81 inches (95.25 mm), the floating piston will not
move freely in the shaft.

(a) Use the rigid wire to release the floating piston.
(b) If the floating piston cannot be released with the rigid wire, you must replace the rod
assembly and the piston.
Make sure that the floating piston is at the bottom.
Move the damper rod to put the piston at the end of the barrel which is opposite of the filler plug.
CAUTION:

Dirt and dust can cut the seals in the barrel. Use a clean, lint-free
cloth soaked with MIL-PRF-5606 hydraulic fluid or kerosene to keep
the machined surfaces clean.

(9)

Remove the filler plug and fill the shimmy damper with hydraulic fluid.
(a) To fill the shimmy damper, make sure the shimmy damper and MIL-PRF-5606 hydraulic
fluid are at 70°F to 80°F (21°C to 26°C).
(b) Keep the shimmy damper and the visual parts of the piston shaft clean from dirt and dust.
(10) Install the filler plug and clean the damper in cleaning agent.
(11) Dry the damper with a clean cloth.
(12) Install the damper on the airplane. Refer to Chapter 32, Nose Landing Gear - Maintenance
Practices.

Shimmy Damper Servicing (On Airplanes with the Lord Shimmy Damper)
A.

Lord Shimmy Dampers do not need special servicing. However, you must lubricate the nose wheel
shimmy damper pivots with general purpose oil MIL-L-7870.

B.

Keep the shimmy damper clean.
(1) Clean the shimmy damper with a clean, lint-free cloth to prevent the collection of dust and grit.
(2) Make sure that the part of the damper piston shaft that you can see is always clean.
(3) Clean the machined surfaces of the shimmy damper with a clean, lint-free cloth to prevent the
collection of dust and dust.

C.

If necessary, exercise a shimmy damper before installation.
(1) If a shimmy damper has been in storage for a long period, make sure that it moves freely before
you install it.

CAUTION: Make sure that you do not push or pull on the shaft of the shimmy
damper after it has reached its limit in either the up or the down
position. If you continue to push a fully compressed, bottomedout shaft, you can cause damage to the shimmy damper. If you
continue to pull on a fully extended shaft, you can cause damage
to the shimmy damper.
(2) If the shimmy damper does not move freely, push and pull the shaft through complete cycles
until it does move freely. When the shimmy damper shaft has come to its limit of travel up and
down as you push and pull, make sure that you do not continue to push or pull it beyond that
limit of travel.

A.

Fuel Tanks.
(1) Each wing has a fuel tank. You can find the fuel tanks between the forward and aft spars that
extend from WS 23.62 to WS 85.96. You must fill the fuel tanks immediately after each flight to
decrease the amount of condensation that can be produced in the tanks and fuel lines. A fuel
filler cap that vents is found on top of each wing to fuel and defuel each fuel tank.

B.

Fuel Drains.
(1) Fuel drains are at various places throughout the fuel system, and are used to collect fuel samples
for analysis. To collect fuel samples, you put a fuel sample cup up to the valve and push up on
the valve with the rod on the cup.
NOTE:

2.

For detailed description and maintenance practices related to the fuel system, refer
to Chapter 28, Fuel - General.

Safety and Maintenance Precautions
A.

Safety Precautions.

WARNING: Keep fire fighting equipment available for all fuel system
service procedures. To prevent accidental disconnection of a
ground wire, you must use two ground wires from the tiedown
rings on the airplane attached to approved ground stakes.
Make sure the battery switch is turned off, unless otherwise
specified.
(1) Connect an electrical ground.
(a) Ground the airplane with two ground wires. Connect the wires from the tie-down rings to
the ground stakes.
(b) Ground the vehicle (or hose cart) to the same ground stakes as the airplane.
(c) Ground the vehicle (or hose cart) to the airplane.
(d) Ground the refuel nozzle to the airplane.
(2) Make sure the equipment to fight fires is available.
(3) Do not wear clothes such as nylon or synthetic fabrics that can make static electricity.

Fuel Additive (DiEGME) Precautions

WARNING: MIL-1-85470 anti-ice additive is toxic. It is dangerous to health when
breathed and/or absorbed into the skin. When you service fuel
with the anti-ice additive in an unventilated area, use applicable
personal protective equipment such as eye goggles/shield,
respirator with organic vapor cartridges, non-absorbing gloves
and additional skin protection from spraying or splashing anti-ice
additive. If anti-ice additive enters the eyes, flush with water and
contact a physician immediately.
WARNING: Anti-icing additives that contain DiEGME are harmful if inhaled,
swallowed, or absorbed through the skin and will cause eye
irritation. DIEGME is also combustible. Before you use this
material, refer to all of the safety information on the container.
CAUTION: It is extremely important to mix anti-ice additives with fuel correctly,
because more concentration than recommended can cause damage
to the fuel tanks, such as deterioration of protective primer and
sealants and damage to O-rings and seals in the fuel system and
engine compounds. Use only equipment that is recommended by the
manufacturer to make sure that you get the correct proportion when
you blend the anti-ice additives with the fuel.
CAUTION: Do not let the concentrated anti-ice additive come in contact with the
airplane finish or fuel cell, as it can cause damage.
A.

When you service fuel with anti-icing additives that contain Diethylene glycol monomethyl ether
(DiEGME, MIL-I- 85470), remember that they are harmful if inhaled, swallowed, or absorbed through
the skin, and will cause eye irritation. Also, they are combustible. Before you use this material, refer
to all safety information on the container.

B.

DiEGME is toxic under sustained exposure environments. When inhaled, DiEGME is primarily
a central nervous system depressant, although various animal studies have revealed that acute
inhalation overexposure may cause kidney injury. The primary symptoms of inhalation overexposure

12-14-01

Page 302
Jul 3/2006

CESSNA AIRCRAFT COMPANY

MODEL 182/T182
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
in confined or poorly ventilated areas include headache, drowsiness, blurred vision, weakness, lack
of coordination, tremor, unconsciousness, and even death. When ingested (swallowed) in massive
doses, DiEGME is reported to exhibit a narcotic action, but at lower dosage levels, death is delayed
and is accompanied by lung edema (excessive serious fluid in lungs), slight liver injury and marked
kidney injury. DiEGME is only mildly irritating to the eyes and skin; however, it can be readily
absorbed through the skin in toxic amounts. Symptoms of overexposure due to skin absorption are
essentially the same as those outlined for inhalation.

5.

C.

In the event DiEGME contact is experienced, the following emergency and first aid procedures should
be used.
(1) If DiEGME is inhaled, remove person to fresh air. If the person is not breathing, give artificial
respiration, preferably mouth-to-mouth; however, if breathing is difficult, administer oxygen.
Always call a physician.
(2) If ingested (swallowed), drink large quantities of water. Then induce vomiting by placing a finger
far back into the throat. Contact a physician immediately. If vomiting cannot be induced, take
victim immediately to the hospital or a physician. If victim is unconscious or in convulsions, take
victim immediately to the hospital or a physician. Do not induce vomiting or give anything by
mouth to an unconscious person.
(3) If eye or skin contact is experienced, flush with plenty of water (use soap and water for skin) for at
least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes. Call a physician. Thoroughly
wash contaminated clothing and shoes before reuse.

D.

Additional antistatic and biocidal protection may be provided using approved products. Refer to the
Tools, Equipment and Materials section for approved manufacturers. Refer to the Pilot's Operating
Handbook and FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual for concentration levels of these products.

Fuel Additive Procedures
A.

Strict adherence to recommended preflight draining instructions will eliminate any free water
accumulations from the tank sumps. While small amounts of water may still remain in solution in the
gasoline, it will normally be consumed and go unnoticed in the operation of the engine.

B.

One exception to this can be encountered when operating under the combined effect of: 1) use of
certain fuels, with 2) high humidity conditions on the ground 3) followed by flight at high altitude and
low temperature. Under these unusual conditions small amounts of water in solution can precipitate
from the fuel stream and freeze in sufficient quantities to induce partial icing of the engine fuel system.

C.

While these conditions are quite rare and will not normally pose a problem to owners and operators,
they do exist in certain areas of the world and consequently must be dealt with, when encountered.

D.

Therefore, to alleviate the possibility of fuel icing occurring under these unusual conditions, it is
acceptable to add isopropyl alcohol or Diethylene glycol monomethyl ether (DiEGME) compound to
the fuel supply.

E.

The introduction of alcohol or DIEGME compound into the fuel gives two distinct effects: 1) it absorbs
the dissolved water from the gasoline and 2) alcohol has a freezing temperature depressant effect.

F.

Alcohol which meets specification MIL-F-5566 or Federal Specification TT-I-735 and has a maximum
water content not exceeding 0.4 percent by volume, may be used. If used, it is to be blended with
the fuel in a concentration of 1% by volume. Concentrations greater than 1% are not recommended
since they can be detrimental to fuel tank materials.

G.

The manner in which the alcohol is added to the fuel is significant because alcohol is most effective
when it is completely dissolved in the fuel. To ensure proper mixing, the following is recommended:
(1) For best results the alcohol should be added during the fueling operation by pouring the alcohol
directly on the fuel stream issuing from the fueling nozzle.
(2) An alternate method that may be used is to premix the complete alcohol dosage with some fuel
in a separate clean container (approximately 2 to 3 gallon capacity) and then transfer this mixture
to the tank prior to the fuel operation.

H.

Diethylene glycol monomethyl ether (DiEGME) compound in compliance with MIL-I-85470, if used,
must be carefully mixed. Refer to Pilot's Operating Handbook And FAA Approved Airplane Flight
Manual for fuel/DiEGME mixing ratios.

I.

Prolonged storage of the airplane will result in a water buildup in the fuel which "leeches out" the
additive. An indication of this is when an excessive amount of water accumulates in the fuel tank
sumps. The concentration can be checked using a concentration tester. It is imperative that the
technical manual for the tester be followed explicitly when checking the additive concentration.

INDUCTION AIR FILTER - SERVICING

1.

General
A.

2.

The induction airfilter keeps dust and dirt from entering the induction system. The value of maintaining
the air filter in a good clean condition can never be over stressed. More engine wear is caused
through the use of a dirty or damaged air filter than is generally believed. The frequency with which
the filter should be removed, inspected, and cleaned will be determined primarily by airplane operating
conditions. Under extremely dusty conditions, daily servicing of the filter may be required.

Air Filter Servicing
A.

The CA3717 Induction Air Filter should be serviced at 50 hours, is life limited and must be replaced at
100 hours. The P198290 Induction Air Filter should be serviced at 50 hours, is life limited and must
be replaced at 500 hours. (Refer to Chapter 5, Inspection Time Limits.)

B.

Servicing Procedures.
(1) To service the CA3717 Air filter:
(a) Remove filter from airplane. If damaged or split, replace filter. If filter is in serviceable
condition, proceed with following steps.
(b) Clean filter by blowing with compressed air from direction opposite of normal air flow.
(c) Ensure air box is clean and free of debris before installing filter.
(d) Install filter at entrance to air box.
(2) To service the P198290 Air filter:
(a) Remove the filter from the airplane.
NOTE:

Use care to prevent damage to filter element when cleaning filter with
compressed air.

(b) Clean filter by blowing with compressed air (not over 100 psi) from direction oppposite of
normal air flow. Arrows on filter case indicate direction of normal air flow.
(c) Check bonding of the paper pleats to the face screen. The bonding holds the paper pleats
in place and if broken, the pleats are free to shift which can impair filtration. A face screen
that is loose or gapping away from the paper pleats is indicative of broken bonding and is
cause to replace the filter element.

CAUTION: Do not use solvent or cleaning fluids to wash filter. Use only
a water and household detergent solution when washing the
filter.
(d) After cleaning as outlined in step "b", the filter may be washed, if necessary, in a solution
of warm water and a mild household detergent. A cold water solution may be used.
NOTE:

The filter assembly may be cleaned with compressed air a maximum of 30 times
or it may be washed a maximum of 20 times. A new filter must be installed
after using 500 hours of engine operating time or one year, whichever should
occur first. However, a new filter must be installed anytime the existing filter
is damaged. A damaged filter may have sharp or broken edges in the filtering
panels which would allow unfiltered air to enter the induction system. Any filter
that appears doubtful, shall have a new filter installed in its place.

(e) After washing, rinse filter with clear water until rinse water draining from the filter is clear.
Allow water to drain from filter and dry with compressed air (not over 100 psi).
NOTE:
(f)

The filtering panels of the filter may become distorted when wet, but they will
return to their original shape when dry.

Be sure airbox is clean, and inspect filter. If filter is damaged, a new filter must be installed.

1.

General
A.

The vacuum system contains two filters which require occasional servicing. The vacuum system
central air filter is located behind the instrument panel, and the vacuum system relief valve filter is
located in the engine compartment.
NOTE:

2.

Smoking in cabin will significantly decrease the vacuum system central air filter life. If air
filter becomes sufficiently clogged to cause suction gage readings to drop below 4.6 in.Hg,
air filter must be replaced regardless of time remaining until inspection/replacement.

Central Air Filter Servicing
A.

The central air filter should be serviced using time intervals set forth in Chapter 5, Inspection Time
Limits.

B.

Servicing Procedures (Refer to Figure 301).

CAUTION: Do not operate the vacuum system with air filter removed or with
a vacuum line disconnected. Particles or dust or other foreign
matter may enter the system and damage the vacuum operated
instruments.
(1) Locate air filter forward of instrument panel.
(2)
(3)
(4)
3.

Remove bolt and washer securing air filter to cover.
Check for damage, deterioration and contamination. Clean (or replace) as required.
Install air filter in cover and secure using bolt and washer.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
TIRES - SERVICING
1.

General
A.

2.

Servicing the tire by maintaining correct inflation pressure is the most important job in any tire
preventative maintenance program. Improper inflation pressure causes uneven tread wear.
(1) Under inflation, indicated by excessive wear in the shoulder area, is particularly damaging. It
increases the chance of bruising sidewalls and shoulders against rim flanges. In addition, it
shortens tire life by permitting excessive heat buildup.
(2) Over inflation is indicated by excessive wear in the center of the tire. This condition reduces
traction, increases tire growth and makes treads more susceptible to cutting.

Safety Precautions and Notes
A.

Safety Precautions.
(1) Tire should be allowed to cool before attempting to service.

WARNING: The tendency of a bursting tire is to rupture along the bead.
Standing in any position in front of either bead area could
cause injury if the tire should burst.
(2) Personnel should stand at a 90-degree angle to the axle along the centerline of the tire during
servicing.

CAUTION: Applying a tire sealant to the tire may cause wheel corrosion.
(3) The use of tire sealant is not recommended.
B.

3.

Notes.
(1) A tube type tire that has been freshly mounted and installed should be closely monitored during
the first week of operation, ideally before every takeoff. Air trapped between the tire and the
tube at the time of mounting could seep out under the bead, through sidewall vents or around
the valve stem, resulting in an under inflated assembly.
(2) The initial stretch or growth of a tire results in a pressure drop after mounting. Consequently, tires
should not be placed in service until they have been inflated a minimum of 12 hours, pressures
rechecked, and tires reinflated if necessary.
(3) Inaccurate tire pressure gages are a major cause of improper inflation pressures. Ensure gages
used are accurate.

Tire Servicing
A.

Check tire pressure regularly.
(1) Tire pressure should be checked when tire is cold (at least 2 or 3 hours after flight) on a regular
basis. Tire pressure should be checked prior to each flight when practical.
(2) When checking tire pressure, examine tires for wear, cuts, and bruises. Remove oil, grease and
mud from tires with soap and water.

B.

Use recommended tire pressure. Consult the table below.
NOTE:

Recommended tire pressures should be maintained, especially in cold weather. Any drop
in temperature of the air inside a tire causes a corresponding drop in air pressure.

Main Gear Tire Type:

Cold Weather Servicing
A.

Cold Weather Servicing.
(1) Check tires for excessive deflation.
NOTE:

Tire air pressure will decrease somewhat as the temperature drops, but excessive
deflation could indicate cold weather leakage at the air valve. Avoid unnecessary
pressure checks.

(2) If it is necessary to pressure check tires in cold climates, always apply heat to air valves and
surrounding areas before unseating valves.
(3) Continue application of heat during reinflation to ensure air valve seal flexibility when valve
closes.
(4) Do not allow tires to stand in snow soaked with fuel, or on fuel covered ramp areas.
(5) If tires become frozen to parking ramp, use hot air or water to melt ice bond before attempting
to move airplane.

Lubrication Service Notes
A.

3.

4.

Lubricant Application.
(1) Cleanliness is essential to good lubrication. Lubricants and dispensing equipment must be kept
clean. Use only one lubricant in a grease gun or oil can.
(2) Store lubricants in a protected area. Containers should be closed at all times when not in use.
(3) Wipe grease fittings and areas to be lubricated with clean, dry cloths before lubricating.
(4) When lubricating bearings which are vented, force grease into fitting until old grease is extruded.
(5) After any lubrication, clean excess lubricant from all but actual working parts.
(6) All sealed or prepacked antifriction bearings are lubricated with grease by the manufacturer and
require no further lubrication.
(7) Friction bearings of the porous, sintered- type are prelubricated. An occasional squirt can oiling
of such bearings with general purpose oil (MIL-L-7870) extends its service life.
(8) Lubricate unsealed pulley bearings, rod ends, pivot end hinge points and any other friction point
obviously needing lubrication, with general purpose oil (MIL-L- 7870).
(9) Paraffin wax rubbed on seat rails will ease sliding the seats fore and aft.
(10) Do not lubricate roller chains or cables except under sea coast conditions. Wipe with a clean,
dry cloth.
(11) All piano hinges may be lubricated using (PG) powered graphite (SS-G-659) when assembly is
installed.
(12) Lubricate door latching mechanism with MIL-G-81322 general purpose grease, applied sparingly
to friction points, if binding occurs. No lubrication is recommended on the rotary clutch.

Definition of "As Needed"
A.

In the following sections, time requirements for lubrication are presented in one of two formats. When
specific time intervals for lubrication exist, those intervals are defined in Chapter 5, Inspection Time
Limits. When no time limit has been established, lubrication is on an "as needed" basis. This leaves
much of the decision making process in the hands of the airframe and powerplant mechanic, who has
been trained to make these types of decisions.

B.

In an effort to standardize the decision making process, the following guidelines may be considered
to determine if a component needs lubrication. Any one of the following conditions would indicate a
need for lubrication, and may additionally indicate the need for inspection:
(1) A visual inspection which indicates dirt or wear residue near the movement contact area.
(2) An audible inspection which indicates squeaks, grinding or other abnormal sounds.
(3) A tactile (touch and feel) inspection which indicates jerky or restricted movement throughout
portions of the travel range.

AIRPLANE EXTERIOR - CLEANING/PAINTING
1.

2.

General
A.

The airplane must be cleaned frequently to keep the external surface in good condition and to prevent
corrosion. The painted area of the airplane must be polished at intervals to remove chalking paint and
to make sure that it has a smooth, glossy finish.

B.

Use water and detergent when you clean the external surface of the airplane.

Precautions
A.

Obey all manufacturer instructions, warnings, and cautions about all cleaning agents and solvent
compounds.

B.

Do not use silicone-based wax to polish the external surface of the airplane. Silicone-based wax,
especially if buffed to a high shine, can help to cause the buildup of P-static.
Do not park or keep the airplane in an area where it can come into direct contact with fluid or vapors
from methanol, denatured alcohol, gasoline, benzene, xylene, methyl-propyl ketone, acetone, carbon
tetrachloride, lacquer thinners, commercial or household window cleaners, paint strippers, or other
types of solvents.

C.

3.

D.

Do not leave sun visors against the windshield when not in use. The reflected heat from these items
increases the temperature on the windshield. If solar screens are installed on the inside of the airplane,
make sure that they are the silver, reflective type.

E.

Do not use a power drill motor or other powered device to clean, polish, or apply wax to surfaces.

Preventive Maintenance
A.

Keep all surfaces of the windshield and the windows clean.

B.

If necessary, apply wax to acrylic surfaces.

C.

Put a cover over all surfaces while the airplane is painted, the engine is cleaned, or other procedure
is done that uses any type of solvent or chemical. Table 701 gives approved protective coatings to
prevent solvent damage.

Cleaning Windshield and Windows

CAUTION: Obey all the correct procedures when you touch and clean the
windshield and windows of the airplane. If you do not obey the correct
procedures, you can easily cause damage to the windshield and
windows.
CAUTION: Do not use methanol, gasoline, denatured alcohol, benzene, xylene,
acetone, carbon tetrachloride, fire extinguisher fluid, deicer fluid, lacquer
thinner, or commercial or household glass window cleaner when you
clean the windshield and windows of the airplane. These solvents will
cause damage to the plastic.
A.

Refer to Table 702 for cleaning materials.

B.

Windshield Cleaning Procedures.
(1) Put the airplane inside a hanger or in a shaded area and let the surface of the airplane cool.
(2) Let clean water flow over the surface of the windshield. Use bare hands with no jewelry to feel
and rub away any dirt or abrasive materials.

12-22-00

Page 702
Mar 1/2005

CESSNA AIRCRAFT COMPANY

MODEL 182/T182
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
(3) Use a mild soap or detergent (such as dishwashing liquid) in water to clean the surface of the
windshield. Use bare hands to rub the solution over the surface. A clean cloth can be used to
apply the soap solution to the surface, but you must be very careful to prevent scratches.
(4) On acrylic windshields and windows only, if the windshield and windows are still dirty after they
are cleaned with a mild detergent, use Type II aliphatic naphtha as a cleaning agent. Apply
the agent only with a soft, clean cloth. Make sure that the cloth is frequently folded to avoid
scratching the windshield with any abrasive particles.
(5) Flush the surface with clean water and dry with a clean cloth.
6.

Waxing and Polishing Windshield and Windows

CAUTION: Do not use rain repellent on acrylic surfaces because it can cause damage.
NOTE:

7.

A.

Refer to Table 702 for polishing materials.

B.

Hand polishing wax (or other materials that meet Federal Specification P-P-560) must be applied to
acrylic surfaces. The wax has an index of refraction almost the same as transparent acrylic and masks
any scratches on the windshield surface.

Aluminum Surfaces
A.

8.

Windshields and windows must be cleaned before you apply wax. When you apply and remove
wax and cleaning agents, use a soft, clean cloth.

The aluminum surfaces of the airplane can be cleaned with water to remove dirt and can be cleaned
with non-alkaline grease solvents to remove oil and/or grease. Household detergent soap powders
are good cleaners, but must be used carefully, since some of them are strongly alkaline. Many good
aluminum cleaners, polishes, and waxes are available from commercial suppliers of airplane products.

Painted External Surfaces
A.

The painted surfaces of the airplane can be cleaned with water and mild soap, followed by a rinse with
water and dried with cloths or a chamois. Abrasive soaps or detergents which can cause corrosion or
scratches must not be used. Remove oil and grease with a cloth that is moist with Stoddard solvent.
NOTE:

B.

9.

For more information on the external paint finish, refer to Chapter 20, Exterior Finish Cleaning/Painting.

To seal any small surface chips or scratches and give protection from corrosion, you must regularly
apply wax to the airplane with a good automotive wax, in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions. If the airplane is operated in a seacoast area or other salt water environment, it must
be cleaned and wax must be applied more frequently to make sure that the surface has sufficient
protection. Special care must be taken to seal around rivet heads and skin laps, which are the areas
more susceptible to corrosion. A thicker layer of wax on the leading edges of the wings and tail and
on the cowl nose cap and propeller spinner will help decrease the abrasion found in these areas. A
new layer of wax will be necessary after you clean the airplane with soap solutions or after chemical
deicing operations.

Cleaning the Engine and Engine Compartment
A.

Notes and Precautions.
(1) Clean the engine and engine accessories during each 100-hour inspection to remove oil,
grease, salt corrosion, or other contamination that can conceal component problems. Also,
clean regularly to help prevent engine problems.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL

WARNING: Put on protective devices (rubber gloves, aprons, face shields,
etc.) and work only in a well-ventilated area when you use
solvents and cleaning agents. These materials and their fumes
are poisonous.
WARNING: Do not smoke or have an open flame within 100 feet of the work
area because it can cause a fire. Many solvents and cleaning
agents are very flammable. Make sure that sufficient fire and
safety equipment are available.
NOTE:
(2)
B.

If you use compressed air to apply solvent or to dry components, adjust the pressure
to the lowest possible setting.

Use a stiff-bristle brush as an alternative to a steel brush if cleaning agents do not remove
unwanted grease and contamination while flushing the area.

Cleaning Procedures.
(1) Remove the engine cowl.
(2) Carefully put a cover on the coupling area between the vacuum pump and the engine drive shaft
so no cleaning agent or solvent can touch the coupling or seal.
(3) Put a cover on the open end of the vacuum discharge tube.
(4) If the engine has salt or corrosive chemical contamination, first flush the engine compartment
with clean water.

WARNING: Do not use gasoline or other flammable materials to clean the
engine compartment. If used, these materials can cause a fire.
WARNING: Do not try to clean an engine that is hot or in operation. This
can cause a fire, serious injury, or death. Always stop the
engine and let the engine cool before cleaning.
CAUTION: Do not let cleaning agents or water touch the openings on the
starter, magnetos, alternator, or vacuum pump. This can cause
damage to these engine components.
(5) Apply the solvent or cleaning agent to the engine compartment. The solutions that follow (or
their equivalent) can be used to satisfactorily clean the engine compartment:
(a) Stoddard Solvent (Specification P-D-680, Type II).
(b) Water alkaline detergent cleaner (MIL-C-25769 mixed 1 part cleaner, with 2 to 3 parts water
and 8 to 12 parts Stoddard Solvent).
(c) Solvent-based emulsion cleaner (MIL-C-4361 mixed 1 part cleaner with 3 parts Stoddard
Solvent).
(6) After you apply the cleaning agent or solvent, flush the engine compartment with clean warm
water.
NOTE:

Cleaning agents must not be left on engine components for an extended period of
time. Failure to remove them can cause damage to the components and cause more
corrosion. For example, solvents and cleaning agents can easily cause damage to
neoprene seals and silicone fire sleeves.

(7) Fully dry the engine and engine accessories with compressed air.
(8) Remove the cover from the coupling area.
(9) Remove the cover from the vacuum discharge tube.

C.

D.

When the temperature is less than 0 °C (32 °F), water from combustion can freeze
to the engine spark plugs if the engine does not continue to operate after it is started.
This will prevent the engine from starting again.

The Garmin GDU 1040 PFD/MFD requires warm-up time when exposed to very cold temperatures.
(1) A warm-up time of up to 30 minutes is necessary when the GDU is exposed to down to -40 °C
(-40 °F) for an extended period.
(2) A warm-up time of up to 15 minutes is necessary when the GDU is exposed to down to -30 °C
(-22 °F) for an extended period.
Before takeoff, preheat the airplane cabin to more than -30 °C (-22 °F) for correct operation of the
standby altimeter.
NOTE:

If there is no warning that an instrument is not operating correctly, all other instruments will
operate continuously until at the minimum temperature of the airplane.

MATERIAL AND TOOL CAUTIONS - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1.

Titanium

CAUTION: Do not use cadmium-plated tools on titanium parts. Cadmium particles can
stay on such parts. The cadmium particles will cause an unwanted condition
with the titanium when heated. The titanium part will become brittle in the
area of the unwanted condition and make cracks.
CAUTION: Do not let cadmium-plated fasteners touch titanium parts.
2.

Mercury

CAUTION: Do not use thermometers and other mercury-based test equipment on the
airplane.
A.

3.

Corrosion Caused by Mercury.
(1) There is no known procedure to stop corrosion when it has started.
(2) Mercury can go into any crack in the finish, paint, or seal layer of a metal. An oxide layer on a
dry metal surface will prevent corrosion. A bright surface, a polished surface, or a surface with
scratches will increase the rate of corrosion.
(3) Dirt, grease, or other contaminants that have no effect on the metal surfaces will help prevent
corrosion.
(4) The corrosion and the embrittlement caused by corrosion can be very fast in structural members.

Asbestos

WARNING: Do not let asbestos fibers make entry into the body of personnel.
Asbestos fibers can cause injury or death.

4.

A.

Do not breathe the dust of asbestos fibers. To not breathe the dust of asbestos fibers, use either of
the methods that follows.
(1) Use engineering control, which includes work in a correctly filtered exhaust chamber. Use wet
procedures to keep personnel less than Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA)
personnel exposure limits.
(2) Use breathing equipment with high quality filters. Other protection must include protective
clothing, gloves and eye protection.

B.

Refer to all local, state, and federal regulations to discard asbestos material.

Cadmium Plated Fasteners

CAUTION: Put a complete layer of fuel sealant on cadmium plated fasteners that are
used in fuel areas. Cadmium particles from cadmium plated fasteners can
cause damage to the engine.
5.

Maintenance Precautions

WARNING: Obey the precautions during maintenance, repair, and service
procedures of the airplane to prevent injury because of the different
materials and environmental conditions.
A.

Carefully read and follow all instructions.
(1) Obey all cautions and warnings given by the manufacturer of the product that is used.
(a) Use the applicable safety equipment such as goggles, face shields, breathing equipment,
protective clothing and gloves.
(2) Do not get dangerous chemicals in the eyes or on the skin.

(3) Do not breathe the fumes of dangerous chemicals.
(4) Make sure the work area has good airflow and the applicable breathing equipment is used when
composites or metals are sanded or work is done in an area where small particles can be made.
6.

General Usage Solvents
A.

B.

C.

Airplane maintenance procedures frequently use solvents. A solvent is a material, usually a liquid,
that can break down another material. Solvents usually have no color, dry quickly, and give off fumes
in high quantities. Examples of general use solvents are as follows:
·
Methyl n-Propyl Ketone
Toluene
·
Isopropyl Alcohol
Acetone
·
Methylene Chloride
1,1,1 - Trichlorethane
·
Naptha
ASTM D4080
Solvents can cause injury or death. Solvents usually have no color, dry quickly, and give off fumes in
high quantities. The fumes are usually heavier than air. The fumes can collect in low-level areas and
push air out of the areas that are not ventilated. This can remove the supply of oxygen from the area.
(1) The solvent fumes are usually heavier than air.
(2) The solvent fumes can be breathed. Use applicable breathing equipment.
(3) Solvents can cause damage to the hands and the skin.
(a) Solvents dry out the skin and remove the natural oils. Damaged skin allows other
contamination to the make the condition worse.
(b) The contamination has easier access to the lowest levels of the skin.
The human body can filter small amounts of solvents out of itself. This filtration
1
function takes place in the liver. The liver receives blood which can be contaminated
with solvents from both the lungs and the skin. If the quantities are low enough and not
too frequent, the liver can filter out the contaminants. This is one of the scientific facts
on which OSHA based its Permissible Exposure Limits. However, when exposures
are constantly above these levels over an extended period of many years, the filter
(liver) becomes clogged and the solvents can then affect other parts/portions of the
body.
Solvents are hazardous materials because of flammability. The rate of evaporation is related to
flammability. The fumes are usually needed to ignite the liquid. Any ignition source can ignite solvent
fumes. The low flash point of the solvent shows that the solvent can ignite easily. Usually the flash
points of less than 100'F (37.8"C) are thought to be flammable. Examples of solvent flash points are
as follows.

45F (7.2'C)

Toluene

39F (3.9;C)

Isopropyl Alcohol

53.6F (12cC)

Acetone

1.4F (-17cC)

Solvents can be explosive when mixed with chemicals that release oxygen (oxidizer). For this
reason, it is very important for personnel to know which chemicals are in use in the work area to
avoid accidental mixture of solvents and oxidizers.
(1) Know the container labels.
(a) Chemical manufacturers are required to put a label with a diamond-shaped symbol on each
container.
1
The red symbol on the label shows that the contents are flammable.
The yellow symbol on the label shows that the contents are oxidizers.

MAINTENANCE PRACTICES

General
A. To ensure security of installation and prevent over stressing of components during installation, the
torque values outlined in this section and other applicable chapters of this manual should be used
during installation and repair of components.
B. The torque value tables, listed in this section, are standard torque values for the nut and bolt
combinations shown. If a component requires special torque values, those values will be listed in the
applicable maintenance practices section.
C. Torque is typically applied and measured using a torque wrench. Different adapters, used in
conjunction with the torque wrench, may produce an actual torque to the nut or bolt which is different
from the torque reading. Figure 201 is provided to help calculate actual torque in relation to specific
adaptors used with the torque wrench.
D. Running Torque Value.
(1) Running torque value is the torque value required to rotate a nut on a threaded shaft, without
tightening. Running torque value does not represent the torque values listed in the tables of this
section. Torque values listed in the tables represent the torque values above running torque.
For example, if final torque required is to be 150 inch-pounds and the running torque is 25 inchpounds, then the running torque must be added to the required torque to achieve final torque of
150 +25 = 175 inch-pounds.
(2) Breakaway torque value is the value of torque required to start a nut rotating on a thread shaft,
and does not represent running torque value. It should be noted that on some installations the
breakaway torque value cannot be measured.
E. General Torquing Notes.
(1) These requirements do not apply to threaded parts used for adjustment, such as turnbuckles
and rod ends.
(2) Torque values shown are for clean, non-lubricated parts. Threads should be free of any
contamination. Lubricants, other than those on the nut as purchased, should not be used on
any bolt installation unless specified.
(3) Assembly of threaded fasteners, such as bolts, screws and nuts, should conform to torque values
shown in Table 201.
(4) When necessary to tighten from the bolt head, increase maximum torque value by an amount
equal to shank friction. Measure shank friction with a torque wrench.
(5) Sheet metal screws should be tightened firmly, but not to a specific torque value.
(6) Countersunk washers used with close tolerance bolts must be installed correctly to ensure proper
torquing (refer to Figure 202).
(7) For Hi-Lok fasteners used with MS21 042 self-locking nuts, fastener and nut should be lubricated
prior to tightening.
(8) Tighten accessible nuts to torque values per Table 201. Screws attached to nutplates, or screws
with threads not listed in Table 201 should be tightened firmly, but not to a specific torque value.
Screws used with dimpled washers should not be drawn tight enough to eliminate the washer
crown.
(9) Table 201 is not applicable to bolts, nuts and screws used in control systems or installations
where the required torque would cause binding, or would interfere with proper operation of parts.
On these installations, the assembly should be firm but not binding.
(10) Castellated Nuts.
(a) Self-locking and non self-locking castellated nuts, except MS1 7826, require cotter pins and
should be tightened to the minimum torque value shown in Table 201. The torque may be
increased to install the cotter pin, but this increase must not exceed the alternate torque
values.
(b) MS1 7826 self-locking, castellated nuts shall be torqued per Table 201.
(c) The end of the bolt or screw should extend through the nut at least two full threads including
the chamfer.

General
A.

Safety Wire.
(1) Inconel (Uncoated), Monel (Uncoated).
(a) Used for general safety wiring purposes. Safety wiring is the application of wire to prevent
relative movement of structural or other critical components subjected to vibration, tension,
torque, etc. Monel to be used at temperatures up to 700'F (370 'C) and inconel to be
used at temperatures up to 1500F (8151C). Identi fled by the color of the finish, monel and
inconel color is natural wire color.
(2) Copper, Cadmium Plated and Dyed Yellow in accordance with FED-STD 595.
(a) This wire will be used for shear and seal wiring applications. Shear applications are those
where it is necessary to purposely break or shear the wire to permit operation or actuation
of emergency devices. Seal applications are those where the wire is used with a lead seal
to prevent tampering or use of a device without indication. Identified by the color of the
finish, copper wire is dyed yellow.
(3) Aluminum Alloy (Alclad 5056), Anodized and Dyed Blue in accordance with FED-STD 595.
(a) This wire will be used exclusively for safety wiring magnesium parts.
NOTE:

Surface treatments which obscure visual identification of safety wire are
prohibited.

Inconel, monel, wire can be substituted for same diameter and length of carbon steel or corrosion
resistant wire.
(5) Wires are visually identifiable by their colors: natural for inconel and monel, yellow for copper,
and blue for aluminum.

Safety Wire Installation
A.

Method (Refer to Figure 201).

CAUTION: Screws in closely spaced geometric patterns which secure
hydraulic or air seals, hold hydraulic pressure, or used in critical
areas should use the double twist method of safety wiring.
(1) Single wire method of safety wiring shall use the largest nominal size wire listed in Table 201,
which will fit the hole.
(2) The double twist method of safety wiring shall be used as the common method of safety wiring.
It is really one wire twisted on itself several times. The single wire method of safety wiring may
be used in a closely spaced, closed geometrical pattern (triangle, square, circle, etc.), on parts
in electrical systems, and in places that would make the single wire method more advisable.
Closely spaced shall be considered a maximum of two inches between centers.
(3) Use single wire method for shear and seal wiring application. Make sure the wire is installed so
that it can be easily broken when required in an emergency situation. For securing emergency
devices where it is necessary to break the wire quickly, use copper only.
(4) Safety wiring by the double twist method shall be done as follows:
(a) One end of the safety wire shall be inserted through one set of safety wire holes in the bolt
head. The other end of the safety wire shall preferably be looped firmly around the head
to the next set of safety wire holes in the same unit and inserted through this set of safety
wire holes. The "other end" may go over the head when the clearances around the head
are obstructed by adjacent parts.
(b) The strands, while taut, shall be twisted until the twisted part is just short of the nearest
safety wire hole in the next unit. The twisted portion shall be within 1/8 inch of the holes
in each unit. The actual number of twists will depend upon the wire diameter, with smaller
diameters being able to have more twists than larger diameters. The twisting shall keep
the wire taut without over stressing or allowing it to become nicked, kinked or mutilated.
Abrasions from commercially available twist pliers shall be acceptable.
(c) The wire shall be twisted to form a pigtail of 3 to 5 twists after wiring the last unit. The
excess wire shall be cut off. The pigtail shall be bent toward the part to prevent it from
becoming a snag. Safety wiring multiple groups by the double twist double hole method
shall be the same as the previous double twist single hole method except the twist direction
between subsequent fasteners may be clockwise or counterclockwise.
B.

Spacing.
(1) When safety wiring widely spaced multiple groups by the double twist method, three units shall
be the maximum number in a series.
(2) When safety wiring closely spaced multiple groups, the number of units that can be safety wired
by a twenty four inch length of wire shall be the maximum number in a series.
(3) Widely spaced multiple groups shall mean those in which the fastenings are from four to six
inches apart. Safety wiring shall not be used to secure fasteners or fittings which are spaced
more than six inches apart, unless tie points are provided on adjacent parts to shorten the span
of the safety wire to less than six inches.

C.

Tension.
(1) Parts shall be safety wired in such a manner that the safety wire shall be put in tension when
the part tends to loosen. The safety wire should always be installed and twisted so that the loop
around the head stays down and does not tend to come up over the bolt head and leave a slack
loop.
NOTE:
(2)

D.

4.

The safety wire on a castellaed nut can be more secure if it is on the side of the stud
when the slot is close to the top of the nut.

Care shall be exercised when installing safety wire to ensure that it is tight but not over stressed.

Usage.
(1) A pigtail of 0.25 to 0.50 inch (3 to 5 twists) shall be made at the end of the wiring. This pigtail
shall be bent back or under to prevent it from becoming a snag.
(2) Safety wire shall be new upon each application.
(3) When castellated nuts are to be secured with safety wire, tighten the nut to the low side of the
selected torque range, unless otherwise specified, and if necessary, continue tightening until a
slot aligns with the hole.
(4) In blind tapped hole applications of bolts or castellated nuts on studs, the safety wiring shall be
as described in these instructions.
(5) Hollow head bolts are safetied in the manner prescribed for regular bolts.
(6) Drain plugs and cocks may be safetied to a bolt, nut or other part having a free lock hole in
accordance with the instructions described in this text.
(7) External snap rings may be locked, if necessary, in accordance with the general locking
principles as described and illustrated. Internal snap rings shall not be safety wired.
(8) When safety wiring is required on electrical connectors which use threaded coupling rings, or on
plugs which employ screws or rings to fasten the individual parts of the plug together, they shall
be safety wired with 0.020 inch diameter wire in accordance with the safety wiring principles as
described and illustrated. It is preferable to safety wire all electrical connectors individually. Do
not safety wire one connector to another unless it is necessary to do so.
(9) Drilled head bolts and screws need not be safety wired if installed into self-locking nuts or
installed with lock washers. Castellated nuts with cotter pins or safety wire are preferred on
bolts or studs with drilled shanks but self-locking nuts are permissible within the limitations of
MS33588.
(10) Larger assemblies, such as hydraulic cylinder heads for which safety wiring is required but not
specified, shall be safety wired as described in these instructions.
(11) Safety wire shall not be used to secure nor shall safety wire be dependent upon fracture as
the basis for operation of emergency devices such as handles, switches, guards covering
handles, etc., that operate emergency mechanism such as emergency exits, fire extinguishers,
emergency cabin pressure release, emergency landing gear release and the like. However,
where existing structural equipment or safety of flight emergency devices require shear wire
to secure equipment while not in use, but which are dependent upon shearing or breaking
of the safety wire for successful emergency operation of equipment, particular care shall be
exercised to that wiring under these circumstances shall not prevent emergency operations of
these devices.

Cotter Pin Installation
A.

General instruction for the selection and application of cotter pins (Refer to Figure 202).
(1) Select cotter pin material in accordance with temperature, atmosphere and service limitations.
(2) Cotter pins shall be new upon each application.
(3) When nuts are to be secured to the fastener with cotter pins, tighten the nut to the low side
(minimum) of the applicable specified or selected torque range, unless otherwise specified, and
if necessary, continue tightening until the slot aligns with the hole. In no case shall the high side
(maximum) torque range be exceeded.
(4) Castellated nuts mounted on bolts may be safetied with cotter pins or safety wire. The preferred
method is with the cotter pin. An alternate method where the cotter pin is mounted normal to
the axis of the bolt may be used where the cotter pin in the preferred method is apt to become
a snag.

(5) In the event of more than 50 percent of the cotter pin diameter is above the nut castellation, a
washer should be used under the nut or a shorter fastener should be used. A maximum of two
washers may be permitted under a nut.
(6) The largest nominal diameter cotter pin listed in MS24665, which the hole and slots will
accommodate, shall be used; but in no application to a nut, bolt or screw shall the pin size be
less than the sizes described in Figure 202.
(7) Install the cotter pin with the head firmly in the slot of the nut with the axis of the eye at right
angles to the bolt shank, and bend prongs so that the head and upper prong are firmly seated
against the bolt.
(8) In the pin applications, install the cotter pin with the axis of the eye parallel to the shank of the
clevis pin or rod end. Bend the prongs around the shank of the pin or rod end.
(9) Cadmium plated cotter pins shall not be used in applications bringing them in contact with fuel,
hydraulic fluid or synthetic lubricants.

(1) Prior to safetying, both threaded terminals should be screwed an equal distance into the
turnbuckle barrel, and should be screwed in, at a minimum, so no more than three threads of
any terminal are exposed outside the body.
(2) After the turnbuckle has been adjusted to its locking position, with the groove on terminals and
slot indicator notch on barrel aligned, insert the end of the locking clip into the terminal and barrel
until the "U" curved end of the locking clip is over the hole in the center of the barrel.
(a) Press the locking clip into the hole to its full extent.
(b) The curved end of the locking clip will latch in the hole in the barrel.
(c) To check proper seating of locking clip, attempt to remove pressed "U" end from barrel hole
with fingers only.
NOTE:

Do not use a tool as the locking clip could be distorted.

(3) Locking clips are for one time use only and should not be reused.
(4) Both locking clips may be inserted in the same hole of the turnbuckle barrel or in opposite holes
of the turnbuckle barrel.
B.

Use of Safety Wire (Refer to Figure 204).
(1) Some turnbuckles use safety wire. For more information, refer to Federal Publication AC 4313.1B, Safety Methods For Turnbuckles.

CONTROL CABLE WIRE BREAKAGE AND CORROSION LIMITATIONS - MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1.

Examination of Control Cables
A.

Control cable assemblies are subject to a variety of environmental conditions and forms of
deterioration. Some deterioration, such as wire or strand breakage, is easy to recognize. Other
deterioration, such as internal corrosion or cable distortion, is harder to identify. The following
information will aid in detecting these cable conditions.

B.

Broken Wire Examination (Refer to Figure 201).
(1) Examine cables for broken wires by passing a cloth along length of cable. This will detect broken
wires, if cloth snags on cable. Critical areas for wire breakage are those sections of cable which
pass through fairleads, across rub blocks, and around pulleys. If no snags are found, then no
further inspection is required. If snags are found or broken wires are suspected, then a more
detailed inspection is necessary, which requires that the cable be bent in a loop to confirm broken
wires. Loosen or remove cable to allow it to be bent in a loop as shown. While rotating cable,
inspect bent area for broken wires.
(2) Wire breakage criteria for cables in flap, aileron, rudder, and elevator systems are as follows:
(a) Individual broken wires at random locations are acceptable in primary and secondary
control cables when there are no more than six broken wires in any given ten-inch cable
length.

C.

Corrosion.
(1) Carefully examine any cable for corrosion that has a broken wire in a section not in contact
with wear-producing airframe components, such as pulleys, fairleads, rub blocks, etc. It may be
necessary to remove and bend cable to properly inspect it for internal strand corrosion, as this
condition is usually not evident on outer surface of cable. Replace cable if internal corrosion is
found. If a cable has been wiped clean of its corrosion-preventive lubricant and metal-brightened,
the cable shall be examined closely for corrosion. For description of control cable corrosion, refer
to Chapter 51, Corrosion and Corrosion Control - Maintenance Practices.

General
A.

B.

C.
2.

Solvents, sealants and adhesives are composed of a group of chemicals that often prove toxic.
Anyone engaged in maintenance, repair and operation of airplane and airplane accessories may be
exposed to these chemicals.
To help avoid the effects of these toxic substances, work only in a clean, well-lighted and
well-ventilated area. Rubber gloves and protective clothing should be worn. Avoid breathing spray
vapors as they are highly toxic.
When working with toxic substances, always be alert for symptoms of poisoning. If symptoms are
observed, immediate removal of the victim from the contaminated area is most important.

Description
A.

For clarification, the description of solvents, sealants and adhesives are presented in individual
paragraphs.
(1) Solvents.
(a) Solvents are composed of chemicals which are capable of dissolving other materials and
are primarily used as a cleaning agent. Solvent cleaning should be used when it is not
practical to clean parts by vapor degreasing or immersion in chemical cleaners.
(2) Sealants.
(a) Sealants are composed of chemical compounds which are primarily used as a seal against
the passage of air and liquids. Classification of sealants are categorized by type according
to their application.
(3) Adhesives.
(a) Adhesives are composed of a mixture of chemicals which make an adherent that is
primarily used for bonding like or unlike materials, and are classified according to their
application.

INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR FINISH - CLEANING/PAINTING
1.

General
A.

2.

Interior and exterior finish cleaning/painting consists of general information and instructions for
applying chemical film treatments, primer and topcoats to the airplane.

Interior and Exterior Finishes
A.

Detail aluminum parts are chemically pretreated and epoxy primed prior to assembly. The chem-film
pretreatment and the epoxy primer are primary coatings and must be maintained and preserved for
corrosion control. Exterior assemblies that are to be topcoated receive ScotchBrite, hand solvent
cleaning and another overall application of epoxy primer. The airplane exterior then receives an
overall topcoat of polyurethane paint including stripes.

CAUTION: All plastic and fiberglass parts, except bushings, bearings, grommets
and certain purchased antenna covers which are not colored or painted,
shall be colored or painted to match adjacent surface. The head of the
pitot tube must be open and free from paint and other foreign objects.
The surface adjacent to static port must be smooth and free from all paint
imperfection. Do not paint pitot tube, fuel caps, trim tab pushrods where
they operate in an actuator, oleo strut sliding surfaces, standard polished
spinners, exhausts, stall warning vanes, chromed items (handles, locks,
etc.) or the tie-down lugs (located on struts) or light lens. Paint the
landing gear barrels and torque links to match the overall color.
3.

Paint Facility
A.

4.

Painting facilities must include the ability to maintain environmental control of temperature at a
minimum of 65'F (18IC). All paint equipment must be clean. Ac curate measuring containers should
be available for mixing protective coatings. Use of approved respirators while painting is a must
for personal safety. All solvent containers should be grounded to prevent static buildup. Catalyst
materials are toxic, therefore, breathing fumes or allowing contact with skin can cause serious
irritation. Material stock should be rotated to allow use of older materials first, because its useful life
is limited. All supplies should be stored in an area where temperature is higher than 50F (1 'C), but
lower than 90'F (32'C). Storage at 90F (32@C) is allowable f or no more than sixty days, providing it
is returned to room temperature for mixing and use.
(1) Areas in which cleaning or painting are done shall have adequate ventilation and shall be
protected from uncontrolled spray, dust, or fumes.
(2) Areas for prolonged storage of cleaned parts and assemblies awaiting painting shall be free from
uncontrolled spray, dust, or fumes, or else positive means of protecting part cleanliness such as
enclosed bins or wrapping in kraft paper shall be provided.
(3) Areas in which cleaning or painting are done shall be periodically cleaned and dusted.
(4) Compressed air used for dusting and paint spraying shall be free from oil, water and particulate
matter.

Sanding Surfacer
A.

Purpose and Requirements.
(1) Surfacer is applied over fiberglass and ABS assemblies to provide aerodynamic contour,
smoothness and to seal porous surfaces. Application of surfacer also provides a good surface
for a polyurethane finish.
(2) The objective of a surfacer is to fill local depressions, pits, pin holes and other small surface
defects so a smooth surface is obtained for paint. The total surfacer thickness shall not be
greater than 15 mils (0.38 mm). Only enough surfacer shall be applied to obtain a smooth
surface for paint. If less thickness will provide a smooth surface, this is better. A thick layer of
surfacer is less flexible and may crack in service.

MODEL 182/T182
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
(3) To complete the airplane's polyurethane finish over surfacer, begin by applying the intermediate
coat. Apply topcoat (polyurethane enamel) using same procedure.
(4) Should a repair be required (cracked or chipped paint) to areas where surfacer is applied,
sanding surfacer should be removed to expose fiberglass or Kevlar. It may be necessary
to remove all sanding surfacer on that individual assembly and/or component to obtain a
satisfactory finish. For additional information, refer to Cleaning.
(5) Sanding surfacer methods.
(a) Do not intermix vendor material or substitute material. Also, do not substitute instructions.
Select and use one vendor's material and use the corresponding instructions.
B.

Cleaning.

CAUTION: Do not use chemical strippers on ABS plastic and fiberglass assemblies.
Paint stripper solvent will damage these assemblies.
CAUTION: Sanding of paint and/or sanding surfacer must be very carefully
Do not sand into the fabric layers of composite
accomplished.
assemblies as this will result in loss of strength.
(1) Remove paint covering sanding surfacer by sanding. Paint should be removed well beyond
damaged area. For best results, it is recommended to remove all paint covering sanding surfacer
of that individual composite component.
(2) Remove sanding surfacer by sanding from individual component to expose fabric.
(3) Scuff sand area to be refinished with 320 grit paper. Do not over expose fabric.
(4) Clean surface with Methyl n-Propyl Ketone. Follow manufacturer's instructions for final cleaning
prior to sanding surfacer application.
5.

Paint Stripping
A.

Mechanical Stripping
(1) Mechanical methods of stripping include power sanding with a disc or jitterbug type sander,
grinder, hand sanding, and wire brushing.
(a) Ensure mechanical methods do not damage surfaces being stripped. Damage may
include, but is not limited to, cutting fibers of composite structures or scratches in the
surface of metallic surfaces.

CAUTION: Do not use low carbon steel brushes on aluminum,
magnesium, copper, stainless steel or titanium surfaces.
Steel particles may become embedded in the surfaces, and
later rust or cause galvanic corrosion of the metal surfaces.
(2) Mechanical stripping must be used for stripping composite or plastic surfaces.
(3) Mechanical stripping is recommended for surfaces which might entrap chemical strippers and
result in corrosion.
(4) Mechanical stripping is required for painted surfaces masked during chemical stripping.

WARNING: All paint strippers are harmful to eyes and skin. All operators
should wear goggle-type eyeglasses, rubber gloves, aprons and
boots. In case of contact with skin, flush with water. In case of
contact with eyes, flush eyes thoroughly with water and consult
physician immediately. Paint stripping should be done in a well
ventilated area.
WARNING: Use of a heater with an open flame in an area in which stripping with
a methylene chloride-type stripper is used produces hydrochloric
acid fumes. If acid is deposited on airplane it will corrode all
surfaces.
(1) Thoroughly clean airplane surfaces to remove all grease and other dirt which might keep
stripping agent from attacking paint.
(2) All seams and joints must be protected by applying a tape, resistant to strippers, to every
joint to prevent stripping chemicals from entering the skin joints. Chemicals used for stripping
polyurethane paint are very difficult to remove from joints, and may promote corrosion or
deteriorate bonding agents used in assembly of airplane.
(3) Mask following surfaces using plastic sheeting or waxed paper and plastic tape so as to make
a safety margin of at least one-half inch (13 mm) between protected surface and surface to be
stripped.
NOTE:

Do not use masking tape.

(a) Mask all windows and transparencies.

CAUTION: Acrylic windows may be softened or otherwise damaged by
paint stripper, solvent or paint. Use water and grease-proof
barrier material and polyethylene coated tape to protect
windows.
Place barrier material over window and seal around periphery with polyethylene
backed masking tape.
2
Cut second sheet of barrier material an inch (26 mm) or more larger than window.
3
Place second sheet of barrier material over window and seal with polyethylene tape.
Mask all rubber and other non metals.
Composites if possible, shall be removed from airplane prior to stripping.
Mask all honeycomb panels and all fasteners which penetrate honeycomb panels.
Mask all pivots, bearings and landing gear.
Titanium, if used on airplane, must be protected from strippers.
Mask all skin laps, inspection holes, drain holes, or any opening that would allow stripper
to enter airplane structure.

If using spray method, apply a mist coat to area to be stripped, then when paint begins to
lift, apply a second heavy coat.
(b) If applying with brush, brush across the surface only once, in one direction.
Allow stripper coating to lay on the surface until paint lifts.
After paint begins to lift, use a propylene bristle brush to agitate stripper to allow deeper
penetration of stripper.
Remove lifted paint with a plastic squeegee. Dispose of residue in accordance with local
regulations.
Inspect all surfaces for incomplete paint removal.
(a) Repeat previous procedural steps as necessary until all paint is removed.
After stripping airplane, thoroughly rinse to remove any stripping residue.
Remove tape applied to protect joints and other masked areas.
Carefully remove remaining paint at skin joints and masked areas by sanding with a hand or
jitterbug type sander.
If necessary to remove paint from inside skin joints, refer to Cleanout of Skin Joints.
If corrosion is encountered, refer to Structural Repair Manual, Chapter 51, Corrosion/Repair, for
corrosion treatment.

Cleanout of Skin Joints.
(1) Install a surface conditioning disc on a pneumatic drill.
(2) Taper edge of disc to an edge which will allow edge to fit into skin joint seam.
(a) Run disc against a piece of coarse abrasive paper or a mill file until edge is tapered.

CAUTION: Excessive pressure or dwell time will cause scratches or
grooves in metal. Ensure doubler at bottom of joint is not
damaged or gouged in any way by this process.
(3) Using tapered surface conditioning disc, remove paint and other material from joint seams.
(4) Carefully, and using as low speed as possible, remove paint and all other material from joint.
NOTE:
6.

Surface conditioning disc will wear rapidly, it will be necessary to resharpen (retaper)
disc frequently.

Hand Solvent Cleaning

WARNING: Work in a well ventilated area free from sources of ignition. Use only
approved solvents and materials.
CAUTION: Airplane shall be grounded during solvent wipe.
A.

Surface Cleaning.
(1) Apply solvent to a clean wiping cloth by pouring from a safety can or other approved container.
The cloth should be well saturated with solvent. Avoid dipping wipers into open solvent
containers as this contaminates the solvent.
(2) Wipe the surface with the wet cloth as required to dissolve or loosen soils. Work on a small
enough area so that the area being cleaned remains wet with solvent.

to evaporate dry.
(4) Repeat steps (1) through (3) as required and change cloths often.
7.

Maintenance of the Interior and Exterior Primary Coatings and Topcoat
A.

Rework and repair primary coatings on airplane interior and exterior surfaces for protection and
corrosion control.
(1) Minor scratches or defects, which do not penetrate the epoxy primer or which penetrate the
primer and expose bare metal, with the total area of exposed bare metal less than the size of a
dime, touch up as follows:
(a) Hand solvent clean and sand with 320 grit or finer sandpaper.
(b) Clean with compressed air, hand solvent clean again, then wipe with a tack rag.
(c) Mix and reapply epoxy primer (MIL P-23377 or equivalent) as directed by the primer
manufacturer or supplier.
(d) On a properly prepared surface, mix and apply polyurethane topcoat as directed by the
paint manufacturer or supplier.
(2) Major defects which expose bare metal to an area larger than the size of a dime, touch up as
follows:
(a) Hand solvent clean and sand with 320 grit or finer sandpaper.
(b) Clean with compressed air, hand solvent clean again, then wipe with a tack rag.
(c) Apply a spray wash primer or (preferred method) brush chem film primer. Mask the area
to minimize the amount of primer from spreading over the existing epoxy primer. Let cure
according to the product manufacturers recommendations.
(d) Mix and apply epoxy primer (MIL P-23377 or equivalent) to the affected area within four
hours.
(e) If an exterior painted surface, mix and apply polyurethane topcoat as directed by the paint
manufacturer or supplier.

Definition of Sealing Terms
A.

The following definitions are included to provide a basic concept of the special terms used in sealing.
This list is not all inclusive but the more common terms are listed.
(1) Absolute Sealing - There can be no leakage allowed. All openings of any nature through the seal
plane are positively sealed. This is the first level of sealing. (All holes, slots, joggles, fasteners
and seams must be sealed.)
(2) Accelerator (Activator) - Curing agent for sealants.
(3) Application Time - The length of time sealant remains workable or suitable for application to
structure by brush, extrusion gun, spatula or roller.
(4) Base Compound - The major component of a two-part sealing compound which is mixed with the
accelerator prior to application to produce a fuel, temperature, pressure, weather and/or firewall
sealing material.
(5) Brush Coat - Apply an overcoat or continuous film of appropriate sealing compound by use of a
brush.
(6) Fay Seal or Faying Surface Seal - A seal barrier created by the sandwiching of sealant between
mating surfaces of structure. Special attention must be taken to avoid metal chips or dirt at the
faying surface.
(7) Fillet Seal - Sealant material applied at the seam, joint or fastener after the assembly has all
permanent fasteners installed and shall conform to the dimension in applicable figure.
(8) Hole - An opening that has no appreciable depth, such as a tool hole. Holes that penetrate the
seal plane must be metal filled with a fastener, gusset or patch.
(9) Injection Seal - Filling of channels by forcing sealant into a void or cavity after assembly.
(10) Integral Tank - Composition of structure and sealant material which forms a tank that is capable
of containing fuel without a bladder.
(11) Intermediate Seal - The second level of sealing. All holes, slots, joggles and seams in the seal
plane must be sealed. A minor amount of leakage is tolerable and permanent fasteners are not
required to be sealed.
(12) Post-Assembly Seal - A seal that is applied after the structure is assembled. (Fillet and injection
seals.)

20-32-00

Page 204
Jul 3/2006

CESSNA AIRCRAFT COMPANY

MODEL 182/T182
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
(13) Preassembly Seal - Sealant material that must be applied during or prior to the assembly of the
structure. (Faying surface and pre-pack seals.)
(14) Pre-Pack Seal - A preassembly seal used to fill voids and cavities; can be a primary seal used
to provide seal continuity when used in conjunction with a fillet seal. It can be used as a backup
seal to support a fillet across a void. Fill the entire cavity to be prepacked. Usage as a primary
seal should be kept to a minimum.
(15) Primary Seal - Sealant material that prevents leakage and forms a continuous seal plane. This
seal is in direct contact with fuel, vapor, air, acid, etc. With few exceptions, it is in the form of a
fillet seal.
(16) Sealant - A compound applied to form a seal barrier.
(17) Seal Plane - A surface composed of structure, sealant and fasteners on which the continuity of
seal is established.
(18) Shank Sealing - Sealant compound shall be applied to the hole or to both the shank and the
under head area of the fastener in sufficient quantity that the entire shank is coated and a small
continuous bead of sealant is extruded out around the complete periphery of each end of the
fastener when installed. The fastener shall be installed within the application time of the sealing
compound used.
(19) Squeeze-Out Life - Length of time sealant remains suitable for structure assembly in faying
surface seal application.
(20) Tack-Free Time - Tack-free time is a stage, during the cure of the sealant compound, after which
the sealant compound is no longer tacky. When the sealant compound is pressed firmly with the
knuckles, but no longer adheres to the knuckles, the sealant compound is tack-free.
4.

Materials
A.

Type of Sealants - Sealants are categorized by type of usage. Type I sealants are separated into
classes to differentiate the materials according to method of application. Dash numbers following
the class designation indicate the minimum application time (in hours) for Class A and Class B, and
minimum work life (in hours) for Class C. Refer to Table 201 for application time, curing rate, etc., for
Type I sealants.
(1) Type I - Fuel, pressure, and weather sealant.
(a) Class A - Sealant which is suitable for brush application.
(b) Class B - Sealant which is suitable for application by extrusion gun, spatula, etc.
(c) Class C - Sealant which is suitable in faying surface applications.
(d) Quick Repair Sealant - This material is for use only in making repairs when an extremely
rapid curing sealant is required. A possible application includes sealing a leaking fuel tank
on an airplane which must be dispatched within a few hours.
CAUTION: Quick repair sealant must be applied within its working life of 15
minutes. Attempts to work quick repair sealant beyond working life
will result in incomplete wetting of surface and will result in a failed
seal.
(2)

Type VIII - Low Adhesion Access Door Sealant. This Class B sealant is designed for sealing
faying surfaces where easy separation of the joined surfaces is required. The sealant has
low adhesion and forms a gasket that molds itself to fill all irregularities between two surfaces.
The sealant is exceptionally resistant to fuels, greases, water, most solvents and oils including
hydraulic oil.
NOTE:

Time periods presented below are based on a temperature of 77°F (25°C) and 50
percent relative humidity. Any increase in either temperature or relative humidity may
shorten these time periods and accelerate the sealant cure.

General Requirements
A. When working with sealants observe the following requirements.
(1) Unmixed sealants shall not be more than two months old when received. These sealants shall
not be more than six months old when used.
(2) Unmixed sealants stored at temperatures exceeding 80°F (27°C) shall be used within five weeks.
(3) Sealants which have been premixed, degassed and flash frozen shall be maintained at -40°F
(-40°C) or lower and shall not be received more than two weeks beyond the date of mixing.
These sealants shall not be used more than six weeks after the date of mixing.
(4) Frozen sealant shall be thawed before being used. If sealant were applied at a temperature
below 60°F (15°C), it would not be sufficiently pliable for proper application and adhesion could
be critically reduced by condensation of moisture. On the other hand, although sealant must
extrude freely for proper application, it would be subject to excessive slumping if applied at a
temperature above 80°F (27°C). Frozen sealant may be thawed by any suitable means which
does not cause contamination or overheating of the sealant and does not shorten the application
time of the sealant to an impractical period. Examples: Thawing by exposure to ambient air
temperature, accelerated thawing by exposure in a constant temperature bath (using clean, hot
water), accelerated thawing in a microwave oven. In any case, thawing temperature and time
shall be adjusted to give a thawed sealant temperature between 60°F, and 80°F (15°C and 27°C)
at the time the sealant is applied.
(5) Mixed, frozen sealants which have thawed shall not be refrozen.
(6) Complete preassembly operations, such as fitting, filing, drilling, countersinking, dimpling and
deburring, prior to cleaning and sealant application.
(7) Surfaces must be clean and dry, free from dust, lint, grease, chips, oil condensation or other
moisture and all other contaminating substances prior to the application of sealant.
(a) All exposed bonding primer or bonded assemblies which are to be sealed shall be cleaned
using Scotch Brite followed by solvent cleaning using Trichloroethane.
NOTE:

Bond primer shall not be removed; just lightly scuffed with Scotch Brite.

(8) Sealant materials may be applied to unprimed or primed surfaces. Nonchromated or epoxy
primers shall have good adhesion to the substrate material and shall have aged at least 48
hours prior to sealant application. Adhesive bonding primer shall be scotchbrited and cleaned
before applying sealant.
(9) Sealants shall not be applied when the temperature of either the sealant or the structure is below
60°F (15°C).
(10) Sealant applied by the fillet or brush coat methods shall always be applied to the pressure side
of a joint if possible.

Jul 3/2006

CESSNA AIRCRAFT COMPANY

MODEL 182/T182
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
(11) After application, sealants shall be free of entrapped air bubbles and shall not exhibit poor
adhesion. All fillets shall be smoothed down and pressed into the seam or joint with a filleting
tool before the sealant application time has expired.
(12) Where fasteners have been shank or under head sealed, extruded sealant shall be evident
around the complete periphery of the fastener to indicate adequate sealing. Sealant extruded
through a hole by a rivet shall be wiped from the end of the rivet before bucking. Threaded
fasteners which have been shank or under head sealed shall not be retorqued after the expiration
of the application time of the sealant. Prior to torquing, sealant shall be removed from the
threads. In torquing, turn the nut rather than the bolt, if possible.
(13) Pressure testing shall not be accomplished until the sealant is cured.
(14) Sealant shall not be applied over ink, pencil or wax pencil marks. If these materials extend into
the sealing area, they must be removed.
(15) If sealing is to be accomplished over primer and the primer is removed during the cleaning
process, it is permissible to seal directly over the cleaned area and then touch up the exposed
areas after the sealant has been applied and is tack free.
(16) Sealed structure shall not be handled or moved until sealant is tack free (sealant may be
dislodged or have the adhesion damaged). Excessive vibration of structure, such as riveting,
engine run up, etc. is not permitted.
(17) Drilling holes and installing fasteners through a fay sealed area shall be performed during the
working life of the faying sealant or the entire shank and area under fastener head shall be fay
sealed.
6.

7.

Sealant Curing
A.

Room Temperature.
(1) Room temperature curing properties are based on a temperature of 77°F, +5 or -5°F (25°C, +3
or - 3°C) and a relative humidity of 50 percent unless otherwise indicated.
(2) Room temperature curing properties of Type I sealants are given in Table 201.
(3) Curing properties of Type VIII, Class B sealants are the same as for Type I, Class B. Adhesion
to aluminum should be (peel) less than two pounds per inch width (1.4 N per 10 mm width).

B.

Accelerated Curing.
(1) Accelerated curing of sealant can be accomplished in several ways. The procedure to be used
is dependent on the type of sealant and other factors.
(2) The cure of Type I sealants can be accelerated by an increase in temperature and/or relative
humidity. Warm circulating air at a temperature not to exceed 140°F (60°C) may be used to
accelerate cure. Heat lamps may be used if the surface temperature of the sealant does not
exceed 140°F (60°C). At temperatures above 120°F (49°C), the relative humidity will normally
be so low (below 40 percent) that sealant curing will be retarded. If necessary, the relative
humidity may be increased by the use of water containing less than 100 parts per million total
solids and less than 10 parts per million chlorides.

Mixing of Sealants
A.

Requirements.
(1) Sealants shall be mixed or thinned in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations and
thoroughly blended prior to application. All mixed sealant shall be as void free as possible.
(2) Prior to mixing, the sealing compound base and its curing agent, both in their respective original
unopened containers, shall be brought to a temperature between 75°F and 90°F (24°C and
32°C) along with all required mixing equipment.

B.

Hand Mixing of Sealant.
(1) Weigh into clean, wax free containers the correct amount of base and curing agent, per
manufacturers instructions, immediately prior to mixing. An alternate method is to mix the
sealant on a flat plate with a spatula. The scales and weighing process must be controlled
within +2 or -2 percent to ensure good quality.
(2) Do not allow the accelerator to come into contact with the sides of the container.
(3) Materials shall be accurately weighed on scales that are calibrated and maintained for required
accuracy.

(4) Mix the components until the color is uniform taking care not to trap air in the sealant.
(5) Transfer the sealant to another clean container and complete the mix.
C.

Sem-Kit Mixing. (Refer to Figure 201)

WARNING: The cartridge should be held firmly, but must not be squeezed,
as the dasher blades may penetrate the cartridge and injure
the hand.
(1)
(2)

Pull dasher rod to the FULL OUT position so that the dasher is at the nozzle end of the cartridge.
Insert ramrod in the center of the dasher rod against the piston and push the piston in
approximately one inch (25 mm).
NOTE:

(3)

Extra force will be needed on the ramrod at the beginning of accelerator injection into
the base material.

Move the dasher rod in approximately one inch (25 mm), then push the piston in another inch (25
mm). Repeat this action until accelerator is distributed along the entire length of the cartridge.
NOTE:

The accelerator has been fully injected into the cartridge when the ramrod is fully
inserted into the dasher rod.

(4) Remove and properly discard the ramrod.
NOTE:

Mixing the accelerator and base material can be accomplished manually, or as an
alternate method, with the use of a drill motor.

(5) Manual Mixing.
(a) Begin mixing operation by rotating the dasher rod in a clockwise direction while slowly
moving it to the FULL OUT position.
NOTE:

Do not rotate the dasher rod counterclockwise; the four blade dasher inside the
cartridge will unscrew and separate from the dasher rod.

(b) Continue clockwise rotation and slowly move the dasher rod to the FULL IN position.
A minimum of five full clockwise revolutions must be made for each full out stroke and
1
for each full in stroke of the dasher rod. Approximately sixty strokes are necessary
for a complete mix.
NOTE:

If streaks are present in the sealant (viewing through the side of the
cartridge), the sealant is not completely mixed.

(c) End mixing operation with the four blade dasher at the bottom of the cartridge.
(d) Hold cartridge upright; unscrew dasher rod from the four blade dasher by gripping the
cartridge at the four blade dasher and turn the dasher rod counterclockwise. Remove
dasher rod.
(e) Screw appropriate nozzle into the cartridge. If sealant gun is to be used, install cartridge
in gun.
(6) Drill motor mixing.
NOTE:

A tapered rotary file or a 25/64 inch drill bit may be used with a drill motor to turn the
dasher rod.

(a) Insert the rotary file/drill bit into the dasher rod approximately 1/2 inch (13 mm).

WARNING: The cartridge should be held firmly, but not squeezed, as
the dasher blades may penetrate the cartridge and injure
the hand.
(b) Verify the drill motor will rotate the dasher rod clockwise (looking toward the nozzle end of
the cartridge).
(c) With the cartridge held firmly in one hand and the drill motor in the other, rotate the dasher
rod at approximately 50 revolutions-per-minute while moving the dasher rod to FULL IN
and FULL OUT positions.
1
Mix sealant for at least 50 strokes (a stroke is one complete full in and full out stroke
of the dasher rod).
NOTE:

If streaks are present in the sealant (viewing through the side of the
cartridge), the sealant is not completely mixed.

(d) End mixing operation with the four blade dasher at the bottom of the cartridge.
(e) Hold cartridge upright; remove drill motor and rotary file/drill bit from the dasher rod;
unscrew dasher rod from the four blade dasher by gripping the cartridge at the four blade
dasher and turn the dasher rod counterclockwise. Remove dasher rod.
(f) Screw appropriate nozzle into the cartridge. If sealant gun is to be used, install cartridge
in gun.
8.

Cleaning
A.

All surfaces to which sealant is to be applied shall be clean and dry.

B.

Remove all dust, lint, chips, shavings, etc. with a vacuum cleaner where necessary.
Cleaning shall be accomplished by scrubbing the surface with clean cheesecloth moistened with
solvent. The cloth shall not be saturated to the point where dripping will occur. For channels and
joggles, pipe cleaners and/or funnel brushes may be used instead of cheesecloth.
(1) Use solvent A-A-59281 to first clean the integral fuel tank.
(2) Use 0-T-620, 1, 1, 1 - Trichloroethane, Technical, Inhibited only must be used last to finish clean.

C.

D.

The cleaning solvent should never be poured or sprayed on the structure.

E.

The cleaning solvent shall be wiped from the surfaces before evaporation using a piece of clean, dry
cheesecloth in order that oils, grease, wax etc., will not be redeposited.
It is essential that only clean cheesecloth and clean solvent be used in the cleaning operations.
Solvents shall be kept in safety containers and shall be poured onto the cheesecloth. The cheesecloth
shall not be dipped into the solvent containers and contaminated solvents shall not be returned to the
clean solvent containers.
Final cleaning shall be accomplished immediately prior to sealant application by the person who is
going to apply the sealant.
(1) The area which is to be sealed shall be thoroughly cleaned. A small clean paint brush may
be needed to clean corners, gaps, etc. Always clean an area larger than the area where the
sealant is to be applied. Never clean an area larger than 30 inches (0.8 m) in length when
practical. When the area is being scrubbed with a moistened cloth in one hand, another clean
dry cloth shall be held in the other hand and shall be used to dry the structure. The solvent must
be wiped from the surfaces before it evaporates.
(2) The above procedure shall be repeated until there is no discoloration on the clean drying cloth.
Marks resulting from wax or grease pencils must be removed from parts prior to sealing.

F.

G.

H.

Allow all cleaned surfaces to dry a minimum of 5 minutes before the application of sealant materials.

I.

Sealant shall be applied as soon as possible after cleaning and drying the surfaces to be sealed.
Do not handle the parts between the cleaning and sealing operations. Sealant application personnel
handling cleaned surfaces shall wear clean white gloves to prevent surface contamination. In the
event contamination does occur, the surfaces shall be recleaned.

Safety precautions should be observed during the cleaning and sealing operation. Cleaning solvents
are toxic and flammable in most cases. Fresh air masks and/or adequate ventilation are required for
all closed areas. The structure shall be electrically grounded before starting any cleaning or sealing
operation.

Sealing Application
A.

B.

General (Refer to Figure 202).
(1) All new sealing shall be accomplished using the type of sealing material required for the area
being sealed. All sealant repairs shall be accomplished using the same type of sealing material
as that which is being repaired.
(2) Application time of the sealing compound shall be strictly observed. Material which becomes
too stiff and difficult to work or which does not wet the surface properly shall be discarded even
though the application time has not expired.
(3) Prior to sealant application, all surfaces to be sealed must be cleaned. Refer to Cleaning.
Fay Surface Sealing (Refer to Figure 202).
(1) A fay surface seal must be made when a new structure is added to the airplane and a fay surface
seal is necessary.
(a) The fay sealed joints must be closed and attached before the work life is expired as given
in Table 201.
(2) A fay surface seal must be made when the structure and/or parts have been disassembled for
causes other than a defective seal.
(a) Fay sealed joints must be closed and attached before the work life is expired as given in
Table 201.
(3) A fay sealed joint must have sufficient sealant applied so the space between the assembled fay
surfaces is filled with sealant.
(a) A small quantity of sealant must come out in a continuous bead around the edges.
(4) Countersink or ream the holes through the fay sealed joints with temporary or permanent
fasteners installed.
(a) Metal work operations must be completed before the clean and seal operations.
NOTE:

Fabrication and changes done after the seal are not recommended.

(b) Countersink or ream holes through the fay sealed joint with permanent fasteners in every
other hole.
1
Use temporary fasteners (Clecos or bolts) if assembly with permanent fasteners is
not possible.
2
Temporary fasteners must be replaced by permanent fasteners before the expiration
of the fay surface sealant.
3
Remove temporary fasteners and install permanent fasteners with wet sealing
compound.
(5) Immediately after the assembly is completed and all permanent fasteners are installed, remove
any sealant that has not cured and unwanted sealant with clean rags moist with A-A-59107,
Toluene or Methyl Propyl Ketone.
C.

Injection Sealing (Refer to Figure 202).
(1) Sealant must be put into the channel, void or any open space from one point only with a
pneumatic sealant tool.
(a) After sealant is added, air must not be trapped and the channel, void or any open area.
(b) Sealant must be seen at the opposite opening.
1
Cause a blockage at each channel or exit as the sealer is applied in the area so that
sealant is seen at the openings of all applicable channels.
(2) Sealant must be put into wire bundles that go through firewalls and bulkheads to fill any voids
and open areas between the wires.
(a) Bundle ties must be no more than 6 inches (152.4 mm) from the location to be sealed.
(b) Pull the wires apart from each other.

D.

Fillet Sealing.
(1) Fastener considerations:
(a) Do not fillet seal any parts until they are held completely together by permanent fasteners.
(b) Prior to filleting the periphery of bolted structure and fittings, it is necessary that all bolts,
accomplishing the attachment, be properly torqued.
(2) The sealant shall be applied using a sealant gun or spatula.
(3) When using a sealant gun for fillet sealing, the nozzle tip shall be pointed into the seam or joint
and shall be maintained nearly perpendicular to the line of travel. A continuous bead of sealant
shall precede the tip and the tip size, shape and rate of travel shall be such that sufficient sealant
shall be applied to produce the required fillet.
(4) Fillets shall be shaped or formed to meet the size and shape requirements as shown in applicable
figures using the nozzle tip and/or fairing tools to press against the sealant while moving parallel
to the bead. Exercise caution to prevent folds and entrapment of air during application and
shaping of the fillet and work out any visible air bubbles. The fillet shall be formed so that the
highest portion of the fillet is centered over the edge of the structure or fitting. Lubrication in
any form shall not be used for smoothing purposes. In all cases, fillet size shall be kept as near
minimum as practical.
(5) Where it is more convenient or fillet slumping is encountered, the fillet may be applied in two
stages. A small first fillet should be applied which is allowed to cure to a tack-free state, followed
by a second application of sealant sufficient to form the final fillet conforming to the specified
dimensions for a fillet seal. If the first fillet has cured, it must be cleaned before the second
application of sealant is made. If the fillet has only cured to a tack-free state, it shall be wiped
lightly with a gauze pad or cheesecloth pad dampened with cleaning solvent.
(6) Allow the sealant to cure to a tack-free condition prior to the airplane being moved, handled
and/or worked on.
(7) In cases where a fillet seal connects to an injection seal, the full bodied fillet shall extend past
the end of the injection and then taper out.
(8) Lap joint and seam fillets shall be as shown in Figure 202, Sheet 3.
(9) Butt joint fillets shall be as shown in Figure 202, Sheet 3.
(10) Bolts shall be fillet sealed as shown in Figure 202, Sheet 3. The area for sealing shall consist of
the area of the structure surrounding the base of the fastener end plus the entire exposed area of
the fastener. An optional method of sealing threaded fasteners is to apply a brush coat of Type
I, Class A sealant. Where brush coating is used as the method of sealing threaded fasteners,
the sealant must be worked around each fastener with a stiff brush and considerable care to be
effective. A simple pass of the brush with the sealant is not sufficient to produce an effective
seal.
(11) Dome type nutplates shall be fillet sealed as shown in Figure 202, Sheet 3. The area for sealing
shall consist of the area of the structure surrounding the base of the fastener and from there up
over the rivets to the dome.
(12) Hole filling and slot fillets shall be as shown in Figure 202, Sheet 3.
(a) Tooling holes shall be plugged with a shank sealed soft rivet and then brush coated with
Type I, Class A sealant.

Sealant Repair
A.

B.

Materials - Repairs, in general, shall be accomplished with the same type of material as that being
repaired.
NOTE:

Type I, Class B-1/2 is recommended for use during cold weather to obtain an accelerated
cure.

NOTE:

Type I, Quick Repair sealant may be used as a repair for sealant in fuel tanks if desired for
fast cure and rapid dispatch.

Temperature Requirements.
(1) The structure shall be above 60°F (15°C) before the sealant is applied and shall remain above
60°F (15°C) until the sealant is tack-free.
NOTE:

For outside operations only, the temperature of the structure may be allowed to drop
below 60°F (15°C) but not below 58°F (14°C), after application for a period of time
not to exceed 48 hours; however, the structure must be subsequently heated to
above 60°F (15°C) and the sealant allowed to become tack-free before the tanks
are refueled.

(2) The maximum air temperature allowed to come in contact with the curing sealant is 120°F (49°C).
C.

Fillet and Fastener Sealing Repairs.
(1) Repair of damaged or faulty sealant applications shall be accomplished as follows:
(a) Remove all damaged or faulty sealant to ensure solid residual material.
(b) Sealant shall be cut to produce a smooth continuous scarfed face. The sealant shall be
completely removed in the affected areas. The cutting tools should only be made from
nonmetallic materials that are softer than aluminum.
(c) Inspect repair areas for clean and smooth cuts. Loose chunks or flaps of sealant on the
cut areas shall be removed.
(d) Clean the area to be sealed, including the scarfed face of the old seal. Refer to Cleaning.
(e) Apply new fillet seals. Slight overlapping of the fresh material over the existing fillet is
permissible. A large buildup of sealant shall not be allowed.
(f) Rework of a fillet which has been oversprayed or brushed with primer shall be
accomplished by a scarfed joint and removal of the fillet having primer on it, in the area of
the repair. The primer shall not be sandwiched between the old and new sealants.
(g) If the primer is removed during the cleaning operation, it is permissible to apply the new
fillet seal directly over the clean bare metal and then touch up with the proper primer all
exposed areas of bare metal after the sealant has been applied.

D.

Faying Surface Sealing Repair - After determining the area which contains the faulty and/or leaking
faying surface seal, the repair shall be accomplished by applying a fillet seal along the edge of the
part adjacent to the faying surface seal long enough to fully cover the area of the faulty and/or leaking
seal.

E.

Brush Coat Sealing Repair - Repair of damaged or leaking brush coat seals shall be accomplished by
removing the discrepant brush coat. Clean the area of sealant removal and the surrounding structure
and sealant. Refer to Cleaning.

F.

Integral Fuel Tank Sealing Using PR-1826 Class B Rapid Curing Sealant.
(1) Remove damaged section of sealant with a sharp plexiglass scraper. Taper all cuts in old sealant
at 45-degree angles.

(2) Thoroughly clean with solvent and abrade old areas which are to be over coated. Clean one
small area at a time, then dry with a clean cloth before the solvent evaporates.
NOTE:

Always pour solvent on the cloth to maintain a clean solvent supply.

NOTE:

In fuel tanks which have been in operation, the sealant will be soaked and should be
dried in area of the repair with a vapor proof heat lamp or hot air blower before new
sealant is applied.

(3) After the surface has been cleaned and dried, apply a sufficient layer of PR-1826 Adhesion
Promoter with a clean brush or gauze pad. Allow adhesion promoter a minimum of 30 minutes
to dry.
NOTE:

Care must be taken to get a equal, thin layer of adhesion promoter applied to the
surface. There must be a sufficient layer for the full surface, but not too much that
will cause it to drip.

(4) Mix PR-1826 Class B sealant according to instructions supplied with the material.
(5) Apply PR-1826 Class B sealant, 0.125 to 0.375 inch (3.2 to 9.5 mm) thick, to the repair area
with a spatula or paddle shaped tool. Firmly press sealant in place and form to desired shape.
Overlap PR-1826 Class B sealant over old sealant from 0.125 to 0.25 inch (3.2 to 6.4 mm).
NOTE:

Sealant may be applied up to 8 hours after the application of adhesion promoter. After
8 hours, the surface should be recleaned and adhesion promoter reapplied.

(6) Allow sealant to cure a minimum of 2 hours at 77°F (25°C) before refueling. Curing time is based
solely on temperature and will be halved for every 18°F (10°C) increase, and doubled for every
18°F (10°C) decrease from the standard 77°F (25°C).
G.

FRESH AIR DISTRIBUTION - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1.

General
A.

2.

Description
A.

3.

The cockpit/cabin area is ventilated with fresh air by means of external wing root openings, an
adjustable air scoop, and internal ducting.

Fresh air enters the cabin from one of three sources. Two of those sources are located on the leading
edge of the wing (one left and one right) and the other source is located on the right and left sides of
the fuselage, between the firewall and the forward door post.
(1) Fresh air from the leading edge inlets is distributed through a series of ducts to adjustable air
outlet valves (Wemacs). Each wing feeds three Wemacs, with a total of six Wemacs located
throughout the cabin. Wemacs are located at the upper corner of the windshield, between the
instrument panel and forward doorpost, and overhead in the rear passenger area.
(2) Fresh air entering from the right side of the fuselage is controlled by an infinitely positionable
scoop (door). This air is ducted directly into the heated air plenum and is distributed throughout
the cabin.

System Operation
A.
B.

The amount of fresh air entering the cabin can be controlled by any of the six Wemacs. Rotating the
Wemac valve will vary the airflow from fully closed to fully open.
Airflow into the cabin can also be adjusted by the CABIN AIR control cable. Pulling the control fully aft
allows the maximum amount of fresh air to flow through the distribution system. Pushing the control
fully forward closes the scoop (door) and allows no fresh air to flow through the distribution system.
NOTE:

Air temperature in the distribution system can be altered by use of the CABIN HT control.
As the CABIN HT control is gradually pulled out, more and more heated air will blend with
the fresh air from the scoop, and is distributed into the cabin. Either one or both of the
controls may be set at any position from full open to full closed.

MAINTENANCE PRACTICES

1.General
A. The heating and defrosting system is comprised of the heat exchange section of the exhaust mufflers,
a shutoff valve mounted on the firewall, defrosting valve outlet located under the deck just aft of the
windshield, push-pull controls on the instrument panel, outlets, and flexible ducting connecting the
system.
2.

System Operation
A.
Ram air enters the engine compartment through cowling inlets located aft of the propeller. A portion of
this air is directed toward an exit point in the rear engine baffle. This air is directed, via ducting, to the
heat exchange section around the left exhaust muffler. As air passes into the heat shroud and around
the exhaust muffler, it picks up heat from the engine exhaust. The heated air is then directed to the
right exhaust heat shroud. This heated air exits the right heat shroud and isdirected, via ducting, to a
firewall shutoff valve. The shutoff valve is cable controlled from the cockpit, and controls the amount
of heated air entering the cockpit area distribution plenum. From the plenum, various ducts distribute
the heated air to floorboard and defroster outlets.
NOTE:

The cockpit area distribution plenum is also plumbed to receive outside fresh air from the
right external air scoop (door). This arrangement allows a combination of fresh air and
heated air to be mixed and distributed throughout the system.

3.

Heat Shroud Removal/installation
A.
Remove Heat Shroud (Refer to Figure 201 and Figure 202).
(1) Remove engine cowling. Refer to Chapter 71, Cowling - Maintenance Practices.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
ELECTRICAL POWER - GENERAL
1.

2.

Scope
A.

This chapter gives the electrical units and components which control and supply electrical power for
the airplane systems. This includes the alternator, batteries, and relays.

B.

Electrical energy for the airplanes is supplied by a 28-volt, direct current, single primary bus, negative
ground electrical system. A single 24-volt main battery supplies power to the starting system and gives
a reserve source of power if an alternator failure were to occur. Airplanes that have the Garmin G1000
system also have a standby battery. The standby battery is controlled and monitored by the standby
battery controller and supplies power to the G1000 essential bus if there is a failure of the main battery
and the alternator. A power junction box, also referred to as a Master Control Unit (MCU), is attached
to the forward left side of the firewall and includes electrical relays, an alternator control unit (ACU),
an ammeter sensor, an external power receptacle, fuses and/or circuit breakers, in a single box. An
engine-driven alternator is the normal source of power during flight and maintains a battery charge
controlled by the ACU. The external power receptacle is used for ground operation of the electrical
equipment and helps the main battery during ground starts.

C.

Electrical power is supplied to the two primary electrical busses through two 30A fuses, two 30A circuit
breakers, or two 40A circuit breakers in the junction box. These electrical busses supply power to two
avionics busses through 15A circuit breakers. The two avionics busses are controlled by an avionics
master switch. Airplanes that have propeller heat have three electrical busses that supply power
through three 30A fuses, three 30A circuit breakers, or three 40A circuit breakers.

D.

The operation of the main battery and alternator system is controlled by the MASTER ALT BAT switch.
The switch is an interlocking split rocker and is found on the left side of the switch panel. The right
half of the rocker controls the main battery and the left half controls the alternator. It is possible
in this configuration for the main battery to be on-line without the alternator. However, operation of
the alternator without the main battery is not possible. The BAT MASTER switch, when operated,
connects the main battery contactor coil to ground so that the contacts close and supply power to the
system from the main battery only. The ALT MASTER switch, when ON, applies positive voltage to
the ACU and to the alternator contactor coil at the same time, which then applies field voltage to the
alternator field and supplies power to the electrical system from the alternator.

E.

The operation of the standby battery, if installed, is controlled by a three-position STDBY BATT switch.
Normal flight operation is with the switch in the ARM position that lets the standby battery charge from
the G1000 essential bus. If there is an alternator failure, the standby battery controller will not let the
standby battery discharge to the G1000 essential bus until the depletion or failure of the main battery.
It is necessary during preflight to do an energy level acceptance test. Refer to the Pilot's Operating
Handbook, Chapter 4, Starting Engine, for details of the "energy level" acceptance test.

F.

The main battery ammeter is controlled by a sensor found in the power junction box. In flight, without
the use of external power, the meter shows the quantity of current that flows to or from the battery.
With a low battery and the engine at cruise speed, the ammeter will show a large positive output and a
charge of the main battery. When the main battery is fully charged, the ammeter will show a minimum
charge rate.

G.

The standard main battery is a 24-volt, 12.75 Amp-hour (5-hour rate), flooded lead-acid type. The
battery is installed in the tailcone. A heavy-duty main battery is installed in airplanes with propeller
heat systems. The heavy-duty battery is a 24-volt, 15.5 Amp-hour (5-hour rate), flooded lead-acid
type.

Standby Battery Charging
A.

Charge the Battery.
(1) Remove the battery from the airplane and put it in a well-ventilated area to charge. Refer to
Chapter 24, Standby Battery - Removal/Installation.
(2) Connect the battery to the charger with the black, round Standby Battery Connector (P1). A
mating connector (JC032) is available from Cessna Aircraft Company. Refer to the Model 182S/
182T/T182T Wiring Diagram Manual, Chapter 24 Electrical Power - Battery System.
NOTE:

|I

To charge the standby battery, a constant voltage charger, constant current charger,
or a modification of both is used. Use only chargers that are made to charge lead
acid batteries. A constant voltage "fast" charge can be done with a charger that has a
DC voltage between 28.3 and 30.0 volts. A "float" charge can be done with a charger
that has a DC voltage between 27.2 and 28.2 volts.

CAUTION: Never set the charger to a level higher than 30.0 volts or you can
damage the battery.
(3) For a constant current charger, charge the battery per the charger's instructions.
NOTE:

There is no limit on the initial charge current as long as the voltage is not more than
30.0 volts. If it is necessary to set the charger to the battery capacity, use 8 amp-hour
as the standby battery capacity.

(4) For a constant voltage charger, charge the battery for up to 16 hours with a "fast" charge voltage
between 28.3 and 30.0 volts.
NOTE:

Charge times of less than 16 hours can be done, depending on the state of charge
of the battery. The battery can be thought to be completely charged if the charge
current stays stable (approximately .1 to .2 amps) for a minimum of one hour. You can
charge the battery for more than 16 hours if you keep the charge voltages between
the recommended float charge range (between 27.2 and 28.2 volts).

(5) Install the battery. Refer to Chapter 24, Standby Battery - Removal/Installation.
(6) Do the Standby Battery Energy Level Test in the Pilot's Operating Handbook, Chapter 4 - Starting
Engine Procedures. Make sure that the green test light for the standby battery comes on and
stays on for the specified time period.
5.

Standby Battery Storage
A.

For the best battery life, keep the standby battery in a fully charged state when not in use. This is true
when installed on the aircraft and when in long-term storage. To leave the battery in an uncharged
state for a given period of time will decrease the life of the battery. It is recommended to charge the
battery at a minimum of once every three months of inactivity. In warm climates, a more frequent
charge will be necessary.

B.

Do not keep the battery in storage for long periods of time in an environment where the temperature
is more than approximately 77 °F (25 °C). Sun shades that cover the aircraft deck skin that decrease
the temperature of the battery are recommended when the aircraft is parked in direct sunlight.

6.

Standby Battery Capacity Test
A.

The battery capacity must be tested. Refer to Chapter 5, Inspection Time Limits. This test is also
necessary to give the battery condition if the battery voltage decreases to less than 20.0 volts, such
as in unintentional deep discharge.

B.

Battery Capacity Test
(1) Make sure that the battery is fully charged before the capacity test is started. If charge condition
is unknown, charge the battery. Refer to Chapter 24 Standby Battery - Maintenance Practices.
(2) Put the airplane in an area where there are high cabin light levels. Use sunlight or a well-lit
hangar facility.
NOTE:

The photocell on the PFD must cause the PFD light level to be full bright. The
AVIONICS rheostat cannot operate with the primary alternator and battery off.

(3) Turn the STDBY IND rheostat to the full clockwise position.
NOTE:

A stopwatch will be necessary in the following steps to time the battery discharge.

(4) With the BAT/ALT MASTER switch in the OFF position, set the STDBY BATT switch to the ARM
position and immediately start the stopwatch.
(5) Make sure that all of the equipment on the essential bus operates correctly.
NOTE:

After initialization, the PFD operates in full bright mode with only red X's over the NAV
2, COM 2, and XPDR functions.

(6) Make sure that all the standby indicator lights come on.
(7) Make sure that the MFD and all the other electrical and avionic equipment on the primary busses
are not on.
(a) If the conditions in steps 6 through 8 are not met, stop the test and correct these conditions.
(b) Start at Step 1 when the condition has been corrected.
NOTE:

The standby battery initial current discharge is between 2.1 and 3.1 amps as
shown on the PFD standby battery ammeter. The essential bus initial voltage is
approximately 24.2 volts as shown on the PFD essential bus voltmeter.

(8) Continuously monitor the essential bus voltage as shown on the PFD essential bus voltmeter.
The battery capacity is satisfactory if the bus voltage stays above 20.0 volts for a minimum of
55 minutes.
(9) Set the STDBY BATT switch to OFF if the essential bus decreases to 20.0 volts or after 55
minutes.
CAUTION: Do not let the essential bus voltage decrease below 20.0 volts or
you can cause damage to the standby battery. Set the STDBY
BATT switch to the OFF position before the voltage drops below
20.0 volts. Voltage values less than 22.5 volts can decrease quickly
so monitor the voltage closely. If the voltage drops below 20.0 volts,
charge the battery immediately and do the test again.
NOTE:

If the standby battery does not stay above 20.0 volts for 55 minutes during the capacity
test, the battery is not acceptable for return to service.

(10) Charge the battery. Refer to Chapter 24, Battery - Maintenance Practices, Battery Charging.

12-VOLT CABIN POWER SYSTEM - TROUBLESHOOTING
1.

2.

General
A.

The 12-volt cabin power outlet on the pedestal uses a power converter to convert 28-volt DC input
power to 13.8-volt DC output power. In airplanes with the Garmin G1000 the power converter is in the
cockpit on the aft, right side of the firewall. The power converter in all other airplanes is in the tailcone.

B.

The 12-volt cabin power outlet behind the copilot's seat and near the headset jacks on airplanes
with Garmin G 1000 uses a power converter to convert 28-volt DC input power to 13.8-volt DC output
power. The 20 amps of 12-volt power are split evenly between the forward and the aft power outlets.
In airplanes with the Garmin G1000 installed, a CABIN PWR 12V switch is located on the switch panel.

C.

The converter output is used to power electrical devices that require a 12-volt power input. The
electrical connections are made with the use of a terminal block that is on the side of the converter.
The converter's output can be turned on and off by the use of the ON/OFF signal terminal on the
converter's terminal block. When 28 VDC is applied to this terminal, the converter will turn the output
on. When the 28 VDC is removed from the terminal, the output is turned off.

Cabin Power Interface
A.

3.

Complete a Test of the Cabin Power Interface (Refer to Figure 101).
(1) Make sure the ALT/BAT Master switch is in the ON position.
(2) For airplanes with serials 18280001 thru 18281197 and airplanes T18208001 thru T18208185,
use a 12-Volt DC power adapter to do the test. Refer to Tools, Equipment and Materials.
(a) Attach the adapter to the cabin power system.
(3) Use a voltmeter to make sure the output shows 13.4 volts, +0.9 or -0.9 volts at the cabin power
interface.
(4) If the correct voltage is not indicated, refer to the Power Converter troubleshooting procedures.

Power Converter
A.

Test the Power Converter (Refer to Figure 102 and to the Model 182 Wire Diagram Manual, Chapter
24, Power Interface).

Alternator Control Unit Removal/Installation
A.
B.

3.

The Alternator Control Unit (ACU) is found inside the power junction box, also referred to as a Master
Control Unit (MCU) or J-Box. The alternator system includes the ACU, Alternator Contactor, and
alternator field circuit. The ACU functions are as follows:
(1) Alternator Voltage Regulation - The ACU controls the alternator field circuit to supply a main bus
voltage of approximately 28.5 volts.
(2) Low Voltage Annunciation - The ACU monitors the main bus voltage in the power junction box
and supplies an output for low voltage (less than 24.5 +0.35 or -0.35 volts) for the annunciation.
(3) Over-voltage Protection - The ACU monitors the main bus voltage in the power junction box and
disengages the aircraft ALT FIELD circuit breaker. This removes the power from the alternator
system if there is an over-voltage condition greater than 31.75 +0.5 or -0.5 volts.
(4) Reverse Alternator Current Protection - The ACU monitors the alternator output current and
disengages the aircraft ALT FIELD circuit breaker. This removes the power from the alternator
system if there is a reverse alternator current.
(5) Excess Field Current Protection - The ACU monitors the alternator field current and disengages
the aircraft ALT FIELD circuit breaker. This removes the power from the alternator system if
there is an excessive field current.

Remove the Alternator Control Unit. Refer to Power Junction Box - Maintenance Practices,
Component Removal/Installation.
Install the Alternator Control Unit. Refer to Power Junction Box - Maintenance Practices, Component
Removal/Installation.

(19) Torque the nut to between 20 and 25 inch-pounds (between 2.3 and 2.8 N-m).
NOTE:

If the diodes are replaced, do this test again to make sure that all the diodes operate
correctly.

(20) Install the junction box cover with the screws.
C.

Do an inspection of the essential and crossfeed bus diodes. Refer to Figure 201. The inspection
procedure that follows is for airplanes that have the Garmin G1000 avionics system.

CAUTION: Do not remove bus wires from the circuit breakers with the MASTER
BAT switch in the ON position.
(1) Set the battery MASTER BAT, TAXI LIGHT, and LAND LIGHT switches to the ON position.
(2) Make sure that the STDBY BATT switch and the AVIONICS master switch are in the OFF
position.
(3) Make sure that the landing and taxi lights come on.
(4) Make sure that a minimum of 20 volts shows on the primary flight display (PFD) for the main
and essential bus voltmeters.

A minimum of 20 volts shows that there is power to the crossfeed and essential
busses. The GEA-71 must be on to show the voltage of the crossfeed bus. If there
are no red X's on the engine indicators, the GEA-71 is on.

Set the MASTER BAT, TAXI LIGHT, and LAND LIGHT switches to the OFF position.
Remove the screws that attach the power junction box cover to the power junction box.
Remove the power junction box cover.
Remove the hex nut and lock washer that connect the bus wire to the circuit breaker (F1). Refer
to Power Junction Box - Maintenance Practices, Figure 201.
Remove the wire terminal from the F1 circuit breaker stud that has a label of AUX and isolate
the end of the bus wire.
Set the battery MASTER BAT, TAXI LIGHT, and LAND LIGHT switches to the ON position.
Make sure that the landing light comes on and the main and essential bus voltages show a
minimum of 20 volts on the PFD. If the taxi light comes on, the main and essential bus voltages
do not show a minimum of 20 volts, or the PFD does not come on, do a test of the essential
and crossfeed bus diodes with the diode test function of a digital multimeter to find which diodes
must be replaced. Refer to Essential and Crossfeed Bus Diode Multimeter Test.
Set the MASTER BAT, TAXI LIGHT, and LAND LIGHT switches to the OFF position.
Install the bus wire to the circuit breaker (F1) terminal. Use the same hex nut and washer that
was removed.
Torque the nut to between 20 and 25 inch-pounds (between 2.26 and 2.82 N-m).
Remove the hex nut and lock washer that connects the bus wire to circuit breaker (F2). Refer
to Power Junction Box - Maintenance Practices, Figure 201.
Remove the wire terminal from the F2 circuit breaker stud with the label of AUX and isolate the
end of the bus wire.
Set the battery MASTER BAT, TAXI LIGHT, and LAND LIGHT switches to the ON position.

(18) Make sure that the taxi light comes on and the main and essential bus voltages show a minimum
of 20 volts on the PFD. If the landing light comes on, or the main and essential bus voltages do
not show a minimum of 20 volts, or if the PFD does not come on, do a test of the essential and
crossfeed bus diodes with the diode test function of a digital multimeter to find which diodes
must be replaced. Refer to Essential and Crossfeed Bus Diode Multimeter Test.
(19) Set the MASTER BAT, TAXI LIGHT, and LAND LIGHT switches to the OFF position.
(20) Install the bus wire to the circuit breaker (F2) terminal. Use the same hex nut and washer that
was removed. Refer to Power Junction Box - Maintenance Practices, Figure 201.
(21) Torque the nut to between 20 and 25 inch-pounds (between 2.26 and 2.82 N-m).
NOTE:

If the diodes are replaced, do this test again to make sure that all the new diodes
operate correctly.

(22) Install the power junction box cover with the screws.
4.

Essential and Crossfeed Bus Diode Multimeter Test
NOTE:

Do the essential or crossfeed bus diode inspection procedure applicable to your airplane before
the test that follows is done. Refer to Essential and Crossfeed Bus Diode Inspection.

NOTE:

The test that follows must be done only if required by the essential or crossfeed bus diode
inspections. The replacement of all the essential and crossfeed diodes can be done as an
alternative to the test procedure that follows.

A.

Do a test of the essential and crossfeed bus diodes.
(1) Remove the circuit breaker panel to get access to the essential and crossfeed bus diodes. Refer
to Circuit Breaker - Maintenance Practices.
(2) Remove the nut and washer from each diode. Refer to Figure 201.
(3) Isolate the diode from the bus bar on the circuit breaker panel. Do not remove the heat shrinkable
tubing or the wire from the diode.
(4) Do a test of each diode with the diode test function of a Fluke 75, 77, or 87 digital multimeter (or
equivalent digital multimeter with a diode test function).
(a) Connect the negative (-), or common lead of the meter to the threaded part of the diode
and the positive (+) lead of the meter to the opposite end of the wire to which the diode is
soldered. If the diode operates correctly, it will be conductive of an electric current and the
meter will show the forward voltage drop of the diode (approximately 0.2 to 0.8 volts).
(b) Interchange the meter leads. Connect the positive (+) lead of the meter to the threaded
part of the diode and the negative (-), or common lead of the meter to the opposite end
of the wire to which the diode is soldered. If the diode operates correctly, it will not be
conductive of an electric current and the meter will give an open circuit indication. This
indication on the meter will be the same as if the leads are not connected.
(c) Replace each diode that does not give a satisfactory indication during the multimeter test.
Refer to Essential and Crossfeed Bus Diode Removal/Installation.
(5) Install the diodes that give a satisfactory indication during the multimeter test. Refer to Essential
and Crossfeed Bus Diode Removal/Installation.
NOTE:
(6)

When the diodes are replaced, do the applicable essential and crossfeed diode
inspection (3A, 3B, or 3C) again to make sure that all the diodes operate correctly.

Install the circuit breaker panel. Refer to Circuit Breaker - Maintenance Practices.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
INFLATABLE RESTRAINTS - MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
Airplanes with AMSAFE Inflatable Restraint System
1.General
A. This section gives maintenance information for the AMVSAFE Aviation Inflatable Restraint (AAIR). The
AAIR is a self-contained, modular, three-point restraint system that protects occupants from headimpact injury during an accident. The AAIR system has four core components: the air bag assembly,
the inflator assembly, the electronics module assembly (EMVA), and the cable interface assembly.

WARNING: Do not try to open the inflator assembly. Do not apply an electric
current to the electronics connection. The inflator assembly is
a stored, gas/energetic material device and can cause injury if
accidentally deployed.
2.

Inflatable Restraint Component Cleaning
A. AMVSAFE recommends that the AAIR components be cleaned on a regular (annual) basis. Buildup of
dirt and unwanted material can cause problems with system operation, decrease the life of the system,
and cause corrosion of the metal parts in the system. Clean the belt assembly, hoses, cables, inflation
device/cap assembly, and the EMA.

CAUTION: Use care to keep contamination and cleaning agents away from the
hardware assemblies.
CAUTION: Do not let any part of the AAIR soak in any solution. This can cause
damage to the AAIR system. Do not use too much water when you
clean the AAIR parts. Too much water can cause damage to the internal
components and cause them to be unserviceable.
CAUTION: Only use sufficient cleaning agent to make minimal suds. Excess soap
must be removed before the part is installed in the system.
CAUTION: Do not dry the belt assembly in sunlight or near any source of heat. Do
not dry clean the belt assembly. Do not put the belt assembly fully into
water.
CAUTION: Keep the isopropyl alcohol away from the webbing, air bag cover, and
the gas hose material.
CAUTION: Do not use soap or water on metal parts.
(1) Clean non-metallic parts with warm water and a household soap/laundry detergent and a moist
cloth.
(2) Flush the parts with clear water on a clean cloth.
(3) Use a soft brush, and cold soapy solution to clean the webbing, air bag cover, and gas hose by
hand. Use a household liquid soap or detergent
(4) Let the belt assembly dry by air.
(5) Clean all spacers, washers, nuts, and bolts with a lint-free cloth and isopropyl alcohol.
(6) Cover the cable opening into the EMVA with pieces of cloth. Clean the inflator and cables by hand
with a lint-free cloth and a cold water and mild soap solution.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

1.General
A. An Artex ME406 Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) System is installed to help rescue teams find
the airplane in the event of a crash. It is made to operate in a wide range of environmental conditions
and is resistant to the forces caused by many types of accidents.
2.

Description
A.

Artex ME406 ELT.
(1) The Artex ME406 Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) system includes an ELT unit, an integral
battery pack, warning buzzer, internal G-switch, antenna, remote switch, cable assembly, and
antenna coaxial cable. The ELT unit transmits on 121.5 MHz and 406.028 MHz.
(2) The battery pack has two D-size lithium cells mounted under a battery cover. The battery pack
is replaced as necessary in the field.
(3) The ELT activates a buzzer that is installed near the ELT assembly. The buzzer makes a loud
noise to let people know that the ELT is on.
(4) The G-switch is internally installed in the ELT transmitter and is activated with a sudden reduction
in forward speed.

B.

Artex ELT Antenna.
(1) The ELT system uses an antenna to transmit the emergency locator signal. The ELT antenna
is installed on top of the tailcone skin, forward of the vertical stabilizer. The ELT antenna is
connected with a coaxial cable to the ELT unit inside the dorsal.
ELT Remote Switch.
(1) The ELT remote switch is installed on the right panel. The ELT remote switch is a two-position
rocker switch that can be set in the ARM or the ON positions.

C.

3.

Operation

CAUTION: Operate the emergency locator transmitter (ELT) system only during the first
five minutes of each hour. If you must complete the functional test at a time
other than the first five minutes of the hour, you must do the test with a direct
connection to the ELT and a 30 dB attenuator. Refer to the FAA Advisory
Circular AC-91-44A.
CAUTION: Do not operate the emergency locator transmitter (ELT) for more than five
seconds at a time. Do not operate the ELT again for 15 seconds. The ELT
will transmit a 406.028 MHz signal after the ELT is active for approximately
50 seconds. This signal is identified as a distress signal.
A.

B.

Artex ME406 ELT.
(1) During an accident, the ELT will activate automatically and transmit a standard swept tone on
121.5 MHz (emergency frequency). The 121.5 MHz signal will continue until the ELT battery has
expired. Every 50 seconds for 440 milliseconds, the 406.028 MHz transmitter will activate and
send a message to the satellite. The 406.028 MHz transmission will continue for 24 hours and
then stop. During operation, the ELT will receive electrical power from the ELT battery pack only.
ELT Remote Switch.
(1) The ELT can also be activated manually in the cockpit with the ELT remote switch. To manually
activate the ELT, put the ELT remote switch in the ON position. The red LED will come on when
the remote switch is set in the ON position. The ELT remote switch can also be used to do a
test of the ELT system (refer to Artex ME406 Emergency Locator Transmitter - Troubleshooting).
During typical operation, the ELT remote switch will be in the ARM position.

Prepare the Airplane for the ME406 Emergency Locator Transmitter Troubleshooting.
(1) Put the BATTERY switch in the ON position.
(2) Examine the ELT battery to make sure that it is serviceable.
(a) If the battery must be replaced, follow the manufacturers instructions to replace it.
ELT 121.5 MHz Test.
(1) Tune the receiver (usually the aircraft radio) to 121.5 MHz.
(2) Set the ELT instrument panel remote switch to the ON position and wait for 3 sweeps on the
receiver which takes about 1 second.
(3) Set the remote switch back to the ARM (OFF) position immediately and the switch LED and
buzzer will give 1 pulse. If more pulses are displayed, find the problem from the list below.
(a) One flash - Shows that the system is operational and that no error conditions were found.
(b) Three flashes - Shows an open or short condition on the antenna output or cable. Use the
list below to isolate and repair the problem:
1
Examine that the coaxial cable is connected and in good condition. Do a continuity
check of the center conductor and shield. Examine for a shorted cable.
2
Examine for a intermittent connection in the coaxial cable.
3 Examine the antenna installation if this error code persists. This can be examined
with a VSWR meter. Examine the antenna for opens, shorts, and a resistive ground
plane connection.
(c) Four flashes - This shows a low power condition. This occurs if the output power is below
approximately 33 dBm (2 watts) for the 406.028 MHz signal, or 17 dBm (50mW) for the
121.5 MHz signal. Also this can show that the 406.028 MHz signal is off frequency. For
this error code the ELT must be sent back for repair or replacement.
(d) Five flashes - This shows that the ELT has not been programmed, however this does not
show erroneous or corrupted programmed data.
(e) Six flashes - This shows that the G-switch loop between pins 5 and 12 at the D-sub
connector is not installed. The ELT will not activate during a crash.
1
Do a resistance test to make sure the harness D-sub jumper is installed. There must
be less than 1 ohm of resistance between pins 5 and 12.
(f) Seven flashes -This shows that the ELT battery has too much accumulated operation time
and must be replaced to meet FAA specifications.
Put the BATTERY switch in the OFF position.

should be reregistered with the applicable authority. When an aircraft with a ME406
ELT changes tail number or country registration, the ELT will need to have the new
identification data entered. The ELT will also need to be registered with the applicable
authority.

2.

The ailerons receive the input from the pilot or copilot control wheel. The torque tubes, bearings,
cable quadrants, pulleys, cables, bell cranks, and pushrods help to supply the input to the ailerons.
When you turn the control wheel, the four bearing roller assemblies on the end of the control wheel
tube turn. This turns a square control tube assembly inside of and extending from the control wheel
tube. Attached to the square tube is a quadrant that operates the aileron system. The aileron system
is controlled by the two control wheels. The interconnect cables, turnbuckle, and adjustment terminals
give synchronized control to the two control wheels. The forward end of the square control tube is
installed in a bearing block on the firewall. It rotates with the control wheel and does not move in a
fore-and-aft direction.
As the control wheel moves in a fore-and-aft direction, the four bearing roller assemblies on the end
of the control wheel tube decrease the friction. Bearings in the sleeve assembly let the control wheel
tube turn. The sleeve assembly is attached to the control wheel tube by a sleeve and a retaining
ring. The sleeve moves in a fore-and-aft direction with the control wheel tube. The movement lets
the push-pull tube attached to the sleeve assembly operate an elevator arm assembly. One elevator
cable is attached to the elevator arm assembly. A torque tube connects one arm assembly to the other
arm assembly on the opposite end of the torque tube, where the other elevator cable is attached. The
pilot and copilot control wheels are both linked to the aileron and elevator control systems when dual
controls are installed.

Control Wheel Removal/Installation
NOTE:

3.

The pilot and copilot control wheel removal/installation is typical.

A.

Control Wheel Removal (Refer to Figure 201).
(1) Disconnect the electrical connector from the control wheel.
(2) Remove the screws that attach the control wheel to the control tube.
(3) Remove the control wheel.

B.

Control Wheel Installation (Refer to Figure 201).
(1) Attach the control wheel to the control tube with the screws.
(2) Connect the electrical connector to the control wheel.

(1) Remove the control wheel. Refer to Control Wheel Removal/Installation.
(2) Remove the glide plug.
(3) Disconnect the push-pull tube at the sleeve assembly.
(4) Remove the screws from the collar at the instrument panel.
(5) Remove the pilot's center instrument panel. Refer to Chapter 31, Instrument And Control Panels
- Maintenance Practices.
(6) To help remove the control wheel tube, remove the snap ring from its locking groove to permit
more movement of the sleeve assembly.
(7) Carefully pull the control wheel tube aft and work it out through the instrument panel.
(a) If removal of control tube assembly is necessary, go to step 3.A.(8).
(8) Remove the access plates 520AB and 620AB. Refer to Chapter 6, Access/Inspection Plates Description and Operation.
(9) Remove the safety clips from the turnbuckles at the direct cable, and loosen the tension.
(10) Remove and discard the safety wire from the turnbuckle at the interconnect cable, and loosen
the tension.

FLAP CONTROL SYSTEM

-

MAINTENANCE PRACTICES

1.General
A. The wing flap control system contains an electric flap motor, transmission assembly, drive pulleys,
push-pull rods, cables, and a follow-up control. Power from the motor and the transmission assembly
is transmitted to the flaps by a system of drive pulleys, cables, and push-pull rods. Electric power to
the motor is controlled by two microswitches mounted on a floating arm assembly, a cam lever, and a
follow-up control. As the flap control lever is moved to the desired flap setting, the attached cam trips
one of the microswitches, activating the flap motor. As the flaps move to the position selected, the
floating arm is rotated by the follow-up control until the active microswitch clears the cam, breaking
the circuit and stopping the motor. To reverse flap direction, the control lever is moved in the opposite
direction, causing the cam to trip the second microswitch, which reverses the flap motor. The follow-up
control moves the cam until it is clear of the second switch, shutting off the flap motor. Limit switches
at the flap actuator assembly control flap travel as the flaps reach the full UP or DOWN positions.

FLAP FOLLOW-UP AND INDICATING SYSTEM - MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1.

General
A.

2.

The flap follow-up and indicating system consists of a sheathed cable assembly, pointers and
microswitches. One end of the cable is attached to the flap operating switch operating arm. The
other end is clamped to the flap direct cable, above the headliner in the rear cabin area. Motion of the
flap cable is transmitted through the follow-up control to the pointer, attached to the switch mounting
arm. Pointer moves along a scale as the flaps are extended or retracted. When the motion of the
switch mounting arm with the attached operating switches positions the "active" operating switch to
clear the cam on flap lever, flap motor circuit is broken and flaps stop at selected position.

Flap Follow-Up and Indicating System Removal/Installation
A.

Remove Flap Control Lever. (Refer to Figure 201).
(1) Remove follow-up control torque tube from switch mounting arm.
(2) Remove flap UP S1007 and DOWN SI008 operating switches from switch mounting arm. Do not
disconnect electrical wiring at switches.
NOTE:

B.

Install the Left and Right Fuel Quantity Senders (Refer to Figure 204).
NOTE:

Do the fuel quantity calibration only after installation of the fuel level sender.

(1) Examine the gaskets for cracks or other damage that can prevent the gasket from making a
good seal. If the gaskets have damage, or if there are signs of fuel leaks, install new gaskets.
Always install new gaskets when you install a new fuel level sender./

CAUTION: Do not bend the float arm of the fuel level sender.
(2) Carefully install the fuel quantity sender into the fuel tank and attach the nut ring with screws.
(3) Connect the wire ring terminals to the fuel level sender.
(4) Install the headliner. Refer to Chapter 25, Cabin Panels - Removal/Installation.
5.

Fuel Tank Vents Adjustment/Test
A.
B.

DESCRIPTION - A vent line is installed in the outboard end of each fuel tank and extends overboard
through the lower wing skin near the point where lift struts attach to the underside of the wings.
TEST - Fuel vents may become clogged as shown by field experience, and can cause fuel starvation
of the engine. If the bleed hole in the vent valve becomes clogged, over- pressurization can occur due
to normal temperature variation. This would usually occur when the airplane engine is not operating.
The procedure that follows must be used to make sure that the fuel vent and bleed system operate
correctly.
(1) Attach a rubber tube to the end of the vent line below the wing.

WARNING: Clogged vent lines and bleed holes can cause either fuel
starvation or the pressurization of the fuel tanks by fuel
expansion. You must clean any fuel vent found clogged or not
operating correctly before the airplane is returned to service.
(2) As you do the test, put a cap on the vent in the opposite wing.
(3) Blow air into the tube to pressurize the tank. If air can enter the tank, the vent line is open.
(4) After the tank is pressurized with a small quantity of air, insert the end of the rubber tube into a
container of water and look for a continuous stream of bubbles. This shows that the bleed hole
in the valve assembly is open, and that the valve assembly releases tank pressure.
(5) After completing step B.(3), blow air into the tube again to pressurize the tank. Crimp the rubber
tube to keep pressure in the tank. Loosen, but do not remove, the filler cap on the opposite wing.
If pressure is released through the filler cap, the cell crossover line is open. Remove the rubber
tube from the end of the vent line below the wing.
(6) Do steps B.(1) thru B.(5) again on the opposite wing.
NOTE:

A serviceable wing fuel vent check valve will release positive pressure through the
bypass port from the fuel tank. An unserviceable wing fuel vent check valve will not
release positive pressure through the bypass port from the fuel tank.

(7) If the fuel vent check valve is unserviceable, do the procedures that follow (Refer to Figure 205).

Fill the fuel tanks with fuel and examine the tanks for leaks. If leaks are apparent, defuel,
disassemble, and seal the tanks again until no leaks are found. Refer to Chapter 28, Fuel
Bay Sealing - Maintenance Practices.
(8) Make sure that the vent line is in the correct position in relationship to the wing struts. Refer to
Figure 206 and to Adjustment Procedures below.
(a) Put a six-inch scale perpendicular to the wing skin and measure the distance from the wing
skin to the end of the fuel vent line.

WARNING: One of the fuel vent lines must stay set behind the lift strut
with the dimensions given in Figure 204. This position will
give protection against ice formation in at least one vent
tube.
NOTE:

It may be necessary to remove the strut cuff to get an accurate measurement
using the six-inch scale.

1

The distance from the wing skin to the bottom of the fuel vent line must be 3.46 inches,
+0.03 or -0.03 inch.
(b) Using a six-inch scale, measure the straight line distance from the back of the wing strut
to the end of the fuel vent line.
1
The distance from the strut to the end of the fuel vent line must be 1.12 inches, +0.03
or -0.03 inch.
(9) If adjustments are necessary for the fuel vent line, do the procedure that follows.
(a) Remove and keep the access panels (510KB1 from the left wing and 610KB from the right
~ ~~~~wing).
Refer to Chapter 6, Access/inspection Plates - Description and Operation.
(b) Loosen the clamp on the fuel vent line.
(c) Adjust the fuel vent line with your hand to the proper dimensions.
(d) Tighten the clamp on the fuel vent line.
(e) Install the access/inspection plates.

I
C.

ADJUSTMENT - In some cases, fuel may flow in different quantities through each nozzle when the
fuel selector valve is in the BOTH position. This is caused by different quantities of pressure applied
to each of the individual fuel tank vents. Correct this condition with the procedure that follows.
NOTE:
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
(5)
(6)

This procedure must be done during a sequence of routine flight operations. Special flights
to measure and adjust the fuel tank feed rates are not recommended.

Examine the venting system to make sure that the lines are open, all connections are tight, and
that the system operates correctly.
Park the airplane on level ground and set fuel selector switch in the BOTH position. Keep the
airplane parked until the tank levels are equal, or until the two tanks are full.
After takeoff, with the fuel selector in the BOTH position, climb to an altitude where there is no
turbulence.
Adjust the airplane for straight and level flight. Make sure that the airplane is free of yaw by
adjusting the rudder to align the ball to the center of the turn coordinator. Fly at maximum cruise
power for a minimum of one hour.
At the end of the hour, and while still in straight and level flight, record the fuel tank levels as
shown on the fuel gage.
If the fuel tank levels are different by more than 5.0 gallons, do the applicable steps that follow
after the airplane is on the ground.
(a) Find the fuel tank with the most remaining fuel. With your hand, move the fuel vent on the
bottom of the wing outboard 0.25 inch.
(b) Find the fuel tank with the least remaining fuel. With your hand, move the fuel vent on the
bottom of the wing inboard 0.25 inch.
NOTE:

One of the vents must remain positioned behind the strut as illustrated in Figure
206 for icing protection.

to clean the umbrella , and remove all cotton fibers. Repeat these steps until the cotton swabs
show no discoloration.
(4) Replace the umbrella if the vent shows that there is a leak or shows deterioration.
NOTE:

It can be faster to buy and replace the fuel filler cap assembly, which is an alternative
to the removal of the umbrella.

CAUTION: Be careful when you remove the umbrella stem. If the umbrella
stem breaks when you remove it, make sure you remove all the
stem parts from the vent before you install the new umbrella.
If the stem parts are left in the vent, the vent will not operate
correctly.
(a) To remove the umbrella, apply lubricant to the umbrella stem with MIL-PRF-5606 hydraulic
fluid to prevent damage to the stem.
(b) When you install the new umbrella, apply lubricant to the stem with MIL-PRF-5606
hydraulic fluid. Use a small blunt tool to install the knob on the umbrella into the check
valve body.

FUEL BAY SEALING - MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1.

General
A.

The fuel bays may need to be resealed if a leak has developed or if the wing has been repaired. This
procedures provides instructions for sealing fuel bays, classifying fuel leaks and testing fuel bays after
repair.

2.

Tools and Equipment
A.

3.

Refer to Fuel - General, for Tools and Equipment.

Classification of Fuel Leaks
A.

B.

Fuel leaks are classified in to one of four categories based on the observed size of the leaks.
Dependent on where the leak is located, immediate corrective action may be required prior to flight.
Leaks may be classified as follows and are illustrated in Figure 201:
(1) Stains - An area of 0.75 inch (19.05 mm) or less in diameter.
(2) Seep - An area from 0.75 inch to 1.50 inch (19.05 mm to 38.1 mm) in diameter.
(3) Heavy Seep - An area from 1.50 inch to 4.00 inch (38.1 mm to 101.6 mm) in diameter.
(4) Running Leak - Size varies with location and intensity of leak.
The following leaks require corrective action before further flight:
(1) Running leaks in any area.
(2) Stains, seeps or heavy seeps in an enclosed area.
NOTE:

C.
4.

5.

An enclosed area is defined as the wing leading edge and the section of wing inboard
or outboard of the fuel bays.

The following leaks require correction when the airplane is grounded for other maintenance:
(1) Stains, seeps or heavy seeps not in an enclosed area.

Sealing Fuel Leaks
A.

Determine Source of Leak.
(1) Fuel can flow along a seam or structure of the wing for several inches, making the leak source
difficult to find. A stained area is an indication of the leak source.
(2) Fuel leaks can be found by testing the complete bay as described in Testing Integral Fuel Bay.
(3) Another method of detecting the source of a fuel leak is to remove access doors and blow with
an air nozzle from the inside of the bay in the area of the leak while soap bubble solution is
applied to the outside wing skin.

B.

Repair Leak.
(1) Remove existing sealant in the area of the leak.
(2) Clean the area and apply a filet seal. Press sealant into leaking area with a small paddle, working
out all air bubbles.
(3) If leakage occurs around a rivet or bolt, replace the rivet or loosen bolt, retorque and reseal
around nutplate.
(4) Apply Type VIII sealant to access doors, fuel quantity transmitter, etc., as required and reinstall
to structure. Refer to Chapter 20, Fuel, Weather and High-Temperature Sealing - Maintenance
Practices.
(5) Allow sealant to cure completely.
(6) Test fuel bay for leakage. Refer to Testing Integral Fuel Bay.

Testing Integral Fuel Bay
A.

The fuel system consists of two vented, integral fuel tanks (one in each wing). The following procedure
should be used only after sealant has fully cured.
(1) Remove vent line from vent fitting and cap fitting.
(2) Disconnect fuel lines from bay.

PROPELLER HEAT (T182 ONLY) - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1.

General
A.

2.

A propeller electrical heated boot system is standard equipment.

Description and Operation
A.

The system is of an electrothermal type. It has electrically heated boots bonded to each propeller
blade. There is a slip ring assembly for power distribution to the propeller boots and a brush block
assembly to transfer electrical power to the rotating slip ring. A propeller heat timer/monitor cycles
electrical power to the boots in the correct sequence and monitors the boot's heater current. There is
propeller heat indication for either correct or failed system operation. A toggle switch labeled PROP
HEAT controls the engine propeller heat system.
The propeller heat system also includes a larger alternator for additional current capacity. It has a
higher Amp/Hour Battery to support the additional current load required by the propeller heat system.
The propeller heat system applies heat to the surfaces of the propeller blades where ice would
normally adhere. This heat, plus centrifugal force and the blast from the airstream, removes
accumulated ice.
When the PROP HEAT switch is placed in the ON position, the timer controls electrical power through
the brush block and slip ring to the three propeller heat boots in intervals of 90 seconds on and 90
seconds off. The propeller heat system is off when the switch is placed in the OFF position. Operation
of the propeller heat system can be checked through the propeller heat annunciation. If the correct
amount of current does not flow to all three elements, the timer/monitor recognizes the condition,
removes current flow to all heating boots, and turns on the amber PROP HEAT annunciation. The
green PROP HEAT annunciation is on during the correct operation of the propeller heat system.

TROUBLESHOOTING

General
A. A troubleshooting chart has been developed to aid the maintenance technician in system
understanding. Referto Figure 101 for airplanes without Garmin GlOQO and Figure 102 for airplanes
with Garmin G1000.
B. The propeller heat timer has a 90-second ON cycle and a 90-second OFF cycle. The timer measures
the 90-second cycle interval of the de-icing boots and the correct electrical current (12.5 to 19 amps)
delivered to the de-icing boots. If the 90-second cycle interval or the electrical current delivered to the
de-icing boots is not in permitted limits, the timer causes these to show as faults.
The timer also monitors pin 6 and pin 8 for electrical grounds. If a ground is not applied to pin 6, the
timer causes this to show as a fault. If a ground is applied to pin 8, as occurs when one of the crew
sets the PROP HEAT switch to TEST, the timer causes this to show as a fault and also resets.
When there are faults, the timer disconnects the power that is supplied to the de-icing boots on pin
1, supplies a ground on pin 3 to start the amber alert, and removes a ground from pin 2 to stop the
green alert.
NOTE:

Operation of the propeller heat system for longer than 60 seconds without the propeller
rotation can cause damage to the de-icing boots.

NOTE:

Operation of the propeller heat system at below 24 volts can result in less than sufficient
power for normal operation.

MAIN LANDING GEAR - MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1.

2.

General
A.

The main landing gear maintenance practices give removal/installation instructions for the left main
landing gear. Removal/installation for the right main landing gear is typical unless noted.

B.

The tubular, spring-steel main landing gear struts are attached to the aircraft at inboard and outboard
forgings in the belly of the aircraft. A bracket is bonded to each strut for attachment of a step. Hydraulic
brake lines go down the main gear struts. The axles, main wheels, and brake assemblies are installed
at the lower end of each strut.

C.

The aircraft has fuselage fairings, attached to the fuselage and the tubular strut fairings with screws.
The tubular strut fairings cover the tubular landing gear struts, and attach to the fuselage fairings at
the upper end and to cover plates at the lower end. The cover plates attach to the tubular strut fairings
at the upper end and are clamped to the tubular struts at the lower end. Brake fairings are installed
at the lower end of the tubular strut fairings and are attached to the wheel speed fairings by screws
around their outer perimeters. The speed fairings are installed over the wheels and are attached to
mounting plates attached to the axles. The wheel fairings have adjustable scrapers installed in the
lower aft part of the fairings directly behind the wheels.

Main Landing Gear Fairings Removal/Installation
A.

Brake Fairing Removal (Refer to Figure 201).
(1) Remove the screws from the lower side of the brake fairing.
(2) Remove the brake fairing from the landing gear.

B.

CAUTION: You must keep the scraper clean for the tire to turn correctly. Make
sure you complete a check of the clearance every time the scraper
has been disturbed, the tire changed, and when you install the
speed fairings. You can cause damage to the equipment if the
correct clearance is not set between the tire and the scraper. If
any mud, snow or ice collects on the scraper, it will prevent the tire
from correct movement.
(5) Do a check of the clearance between the tire and the scraper.
(a) Clean off any dirt or ice that has collected on the scraper.
(b) Adjust the clearance as necessary to have a minimum of 0.55 inch (14 mm) to a maximum
of 0.80 inch (20 mm).

NOTE:

The best alignment setting is zero toe-in and zero camber at normal operating weight.
Standard empty weight is 1910 pounds. Maximum useful load is 1200 pounds. Maximum
gross weight is 3110 pounds.

(1) Make sure that the floor is level where you do the work on the airplane.
(2) Ballast the aircraft to the normal operating weight. Put the ballast as close to the aft door frame
fuselage station as possible.
(3) Use tapered shims between the flange of the axle and main axle fitting to do the main wheel
alignment. Always use the minimum number of shims possible to get the necessary result.
Follow the illustration for the alignment procedure.
NOTE:

If you remove or loosen a self-locking nut beyond the locking area of the nut, you can
use it again unless the nut can be run up finger tight. When fiber-type self locking
nuts are used again, check the fiber carefully to make sure that it has not lost locking
function or become brittle.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
NOSE LANDING GEAR - MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1.

General
A.

The nose gear has a steering nosewheel, mounted in a fork, attached to an air/oil oleo shock strut.
The shock strut is attached to the firewall with upper and lower strut fittings.

B.

Nose wheel steering is accomplished through the use of the rudder pedals. A steering bungee links
the nose gear to a whiffletree (bell crank) which is operated by push-pull rods connected to the rudder
bars. Steering is afforded up to approximately 10 degrees each side of center, after which brakes may
be used to gain a maximum deflection of 30 degrees right or left of center. A flexible boot is used to
seal the fuselage entrance of the steering bungee. A sprocket operated screw mechanism to provide
rudder trim is incorporated at the aft end of the bungee. The trim system is operated by a trim control
wheel mounted in the pedestal.

C.

The steering bungee assembly is spring loaded, and should not be disassembled internally. The
steering bungee assembly is connected to the steering torque arm on the nose gear strut by a bearing
end assembly, and to the whiffletree (bell crank) by a rod assembly.
Torque links keep the lower strut aligned with the nose gear steering system, but permit shock strut
action.

D.

2.

E.

Shimmy Damper (For airplanes that do not have the Lord Shimmy Damper) - The shimmy damper
gives resistance to shimmy when it moves hydraulic fluid through small orifices in a piston. The
damper piston shaft is attached to a stationary part, and housing is attached to the nosewheel steering
torque arm assembly, which moves as the nosewheel turns, causing relative motion between the
damper shaft and the housing.

F.

Shimmy Damper (For airplanes with the Lord Shimmy Damper) - The shimmy damper uses rubber
with a lubricant to absorb nosewheel vibration. The damper piston shaft is attached to a stationary
part, and housing is attached to the nosewheel steering torque arm assembly, which moves as the
nosewheel turns. This movement causes relative motion between the damper shaft and the housing.

Nosewheel Speed Fairing Removal/Installation
A.

Nosewheel Speed Fairing Removal (Refer to Figure 201).
(1) Deflate nose gear strut.
(2) Weight or tie down tail of airplane to raise nose wheel from floor.
(3) Remove nose wheel axle stud.
(4) Remove bolt securing speed fairing, cover plate and tow bar spacers at top of strut.
(5) Slide speed fairing up and remove nose wheel. Loosen scraper as necessary.
(6) Rotate speed fairing 90 degrees to centerline of airplane and work fairing down over the nose
gear fork to remove.

B.

Install Nose Wheel Speed Fairing (Refer to Figure 201).
(1) With speed fairing 90 degrees to center line of airplane, work fairing up over nose gear fork.
(2) Slide fairing up and install nose wheel in fork. Install axle stud.
(3) Position speed fairing over nose wheel and tighten axle stud nut until a slight bearing drag is
obvious when the wheel is rotated. Back off nut to the nearest castellated and install cotter pin.
(4) Install bolt, tow bar spacers, washers and nut attaching fairing and cover plate to strut.

CAUTION: You must clean the scraper for the tire to turn correctly. Make sure
you complete a check of the clearance every time the scraper has
been disturbed, the tire changed and when you install the speed
fairings. Damage will result if the correct clearance is not set
between the tire and the scraper. If any mud, snow or ice collects
on the scraper, it will prevent the tire from correct movement.
(5) Do a check of the clearance between the tire and the scraper.
(a) Clean off any dirt or ice that has collected on the scraper.

Wheel Balancing
A.

Since uneven tire wear is usually the cause of wheel unbalance, replacing the tire will probably correct
this condition. Tire and tube manufacturing tolerance permits a specified amount of static unbalance.
The light weight point of this tire is marked with a red dot on the tire sidewall and the heavy weight
point of the tube is marked with a contrasting color line (usually near the inflation valve stem). When
installing a new tire, place these marks adjacent to each other. If a wheel shows evidence of unbalance
during service, it may be statically balanced but not dynamically balanced.

3.

General
A.

Brake system maintenance practices provide removal/installation and inspection/repair of the brake
master cylinders; removal/installation, inspection/repair, and rigging of the parking brake system.

B.

The hydraulic brake system is comprised of two master brake cylinders, located immediately forward
of the rudder pedals, brake lines connecting each master cylinder to its wheel brake cylinder, and the
single-disc, floating cylinder-type brake assembly, located at each main landing gear wheel.

C.

The brake master cylinders, located immediately forward of the pilot's rudder pedals, are actuated by
applying pressure at the top of the rudder pedals. A small reservoir is incorporated into each master
cylinder for the fluid supply. Mechanical linkage permits the copilot pedals to operate the master
cylinders.

D.

The wheel brake assemblies employ a floating brake assembly and a disc which is attached to the
main wheel.

E.

The brake lines are of rigid tubing, except for flexible hose used at the brake master cylinders. A
separate line is used to connect each brake master cylinder to its corresponding wheel brake cylinder.

F.

The parking brake system consists of a handle and ratchet mechanism, connected by a cable to
linkage at the brake master cylinders. Pulling out on the handle depresses both brake master cylinder
piston rods and the handle ratchet locks the handle in this position until the handle is turned and
released.

ATTITUDE AND DIRECTION - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1.

General
A.

Attitude and direction navigation systems are systems which use magnetic or gyroscopic forces to
sense and display the direction or attitude of the airplane. This includes the magnetic compass,
horizon gyro, directional gyro, and turn coordinator (roll rate gyro) indicator.

B.

The magnetic compass is located on the airplane centerline of the upper forward windshield. The
compass is independent of other navigation systems and does not supply information to other airplane
systems.

C.

The three gyroscopic instruments that indicate attitude and direction are mounted in the center pilot
panel assembly. The directional gyro and turn coordinator provide information to the autopilot system.

2.

3.

General
A.

This section gives maintenance information, removal and installation procedures, and operational
checks for the horizon attitude gyro, directional gyro, and turn coordinator.

B.

On airplanes without Garmin G1000, three gyroscopic instruments show the attitude and direction of
the airplane. The instruments are found in the center pilot panel. These instruments are the horizon
attitude gyro, directional gyro, and turn coordinator.

C.

On airplanes with Garmin G1000, two gyroscopic instruments give attitude and direction. The horizon
gyro is in the center instrument panel. The horizon gyro gives attitude and direction and is the middle
standby instrument. The turn coordinator gives roll rate data to the autopilot and is installed on the
left side of the center instrument panel. The turn coordinator cannot be seen in the cockpit.

Operation Notes
A.

The vacuum system supplies airflow necessary to move the gyro rotor in the horizon gyro. Incorrect
operation of the vacuum system will cause the horizon gyro to operate incorrectly.

B.

It is necessary for the horizon gyro to have 4.5 to 5.5 in.hg. of vacuum to operate correctly. The gyro
will reach rated performance with correct vacuum applied in a minimum of 3 minutes of rotor spin time.

C.

The gyro rotor can continue to spin for approximately 15 minutes after vacuum in the system is
removed. It can show a change in the roll and/or pitch indication while the rotor speed decreases.
The gyro rotor will remain in a roll and/or pitch indication when stopped until the system starts again.

D.

If a gyro has been shut down and started again before the rotor has been permitted to stop, more time
will be necessary to get the correct pitch and roll indication.

Precautions
A.

Gyroscopic instruments are very sensitive. They have precision bearings on the gyroscope rotor,
pivots, and yoke shaft. Be careful when you move or touch the instrument when it is out of the airplane.
If you are not careful when you move or touch the instrument, you can cause damage to the bearings.
Dirt and other contaminants can also cause damage to the bearings. Obey these special precautions
when you move, install, remove, or ship any gyroscopic instruments.
(1) To prevent damage to the gyro, do not move a gyro after the electrical power or vacuum
pressure is removed and before the gyro rotor has stopped. The gyro rotor will not fully stop for
approximately 15 minutes after the electrical power or vacuum pressure is removed.
(2) During the removal of instruments, put soft material between the instruments and the control
column.
(3) Do not shake or cause vibration of the panel or the instruments.
(4) Do not hit the gyroscope against any other object. Do not shake the gyroscope or put the
gyroscope on a hard surface. If you are not careful, you can cause damage to the instrument.
CAUTION: Always be very careful when you move or hold gyroscopic
instruments, because you can easily cause damage.
(5)
(6)
(7)
(8)
(9)

Do not remove any wires, labels, tie straps, or any other parts of the gyro that are installed by
the manufacturer.
Visually examine the gyro for any external damage. There must be no scratches, dents, or dings
on any part of the gyro. Do not install gyros that have scratches, dents, or dings.
If you must ship a gyroscopic instrument, make sure that all the female ports have plugs that
you can remove, and that all the male receptacles have plastic caps that you can remove.
Put connector caps on all the electrical pin connectors to make sure that they are not bent or
broken.
Put all gyros in Styrofoam or other soft material for storage and transportation. If possible, ship
the gyroscope in the box from the manufacturer in which it was received.

(10) Keep the plugs in the ports unless the instrument is installed in an aircraft or maintenance
personnel are doing a test.
4.

Prepare the Gyroscopic Instruments for Shipping
A.

All gyros that are shipped must obey the instructions that follow.
(1) All ports and vents must have plugs installed in them.
(2) All initial seals from the manufacturer must be installed and not damaged.
(3) All gyros must be carefully put in the same type of container in which the replacement gyro was
received.
(4) Put connector caps or adhesive tape on all electrical pin connectors to make sure that they are
not bent or broken.

5.

Horizon Attitude Gyro Description and Operation
A. The vacuum system supplies the air flow necessary to move the gyro rotor in the horizon attitude gyro.
Incorrect operation of the vacuum system will cause the horizon attitude gyro to operate incorrectly.
Problems with the vacuum system can cause incorrect indication and decreased performance.
B. The horizon attitude gyro must have between 4.5 and 5.5 in.hg. of vacuum to operate correctly. With
the correct vacuum applied, the gyro will get rated performance in a minimum of 3 minutes of rotor
turn time.
C. The horizon attitude gyro rotor can continue to turn for approximately 15 minutes after the vacuum in
the system is removed. It can show a change in the roll and/or pitch indication while the rotor speed
decreases. When fully stopped, the gyro rotor will stay in a roll and/or pitch indication until the system
starts again.
D. If a gyro has been stopped and started again before the rotor fully stops, more time will be necessary
for the gyro to correctly indicate the pitch and roll of the airplane.

6.

Horizon Attitude Gyro Removal/Installation
A. Horizon Attitude Gyro Removal (Refer to Figure 201 or Figure 202).

CAUTION: Make sure that the gyro rotor has fully stopped before you move the
instrument. The gyro rotor will not stop for approximately 15 minutes
after the electrical power or vacuum source is removed. Damage to the
instrument will occur if the instrument is moved before the gyro rotor has
stopped.
CAUTION: Be careful with the gyroscopic instruments. Do not hit, shake, or put the
instruments on a hard surface. Put soft material between the gyroscopic
instruments and any hard surface. Damage to the instruments will occur
if the instruments are not carefully moved. The manufacturer's warranty
can become void if the gyro is not kept in its initial condition as received
from the manufacturer.

GDL-69A FIS - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1.

General
A.

The GDL-69A Flight Information System (FIS) is a remote-mounted component of the Garmin G 1000
avionics system. The GDL-69A gives weather and FIS information to the pilot. The information is
controlled and seen through the Multi-Function Display (MFD). Information is sent from the data link
receiver to the MFD through the high-speed data bus ethemet data path.
With a current subscription, XM satellite radio service is available with the GDL-69A. The signals that
the data link receives from satellites give better coverage than land-based transmissions. The XM
radio is tuned through the MFD. Analog audio is sent to the audio panel and shares the AUX music
input with the external audio entertainment input.
GDL-69A capabilities include:
·
Graphical NEXRAD Data (NEXRAD)
Graphical METAR Data (METAR)
·
Textual METAR Data
Textual Terminal Aerodrome Forecasts (TAF)
City Forecast Data
·
Graphical Wind Data (WIND)
Graphical Echo Tops (ECHO TOP)
·
Graphical Cloud Tops (CLD TOP)
Graphical Lightning Strikes (XM LTNG)
Graphical Storm Cell Movement (CELL MOV)
NEXRAD Radar Coverage (displayed with NEXRAD data)
SIGMETs/AIRMETs (SIG/AIR)
·
Surface Analysis with City Forecasts (SFC)
County Warnings (COUNTY)
Freezing Levels (FRX LVL)
Hurricane Track (CYCLONE)
Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFR).

B.

The GDL-69A XM Weather Data Link is the receiver for the FIS, and is installed behind the instrument

OXYGEN - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1.

Description and Operation
A.

The system has an oxygen cylinder and regulator assembly, filler valve, pressure gage, pressure lines,
outlets, and mask assemblies. The oxygen cylinder is attached aft of the baggage compartment. The
pilot's mask supply line gives a larger flow of oxygen than the passenger mask supply lines. The
pilot's mask has a microphone, keyed by a switch button on the pilot's control wheel. The filler valve
is found on the left side of the tailcone.

WARNING: Do not let oil, grease, or other lubricants near high-pressure
oxygen because it can cause a fire. Do not smoke or have an open
flame in or near the airplane while you work on the oxygen system.
B.

Oxygen flow to the outlet ports starts when the oxygen control valve knob, located in the overhead
console, is put in the ON position and mask hoses are connected to the overhead oxygen ports.
Each oxygen port has a spring-loaded valve which prevents the flow of oxygen until a mask
hose is connected. Each mask hose has an oxygen flow indicator for visual proof of oxygen
flow.
The oxygen system has an emergency release indicator with a green disc installed. The green disc will
be pushed out if there is too much oxygen pressure in the system. When there is too much pressure
in the oxygen system, a safety disc inside the oxygen regulator will release oxygen from the oxygen
tank to the emergency release indicator. The oxygen pressure will then push out the green disc and
release oxygen outside the airplane. The indicator disc will release oxygen at a pressure of 80 psi
+30 or -30 psi (551 kPa +208 or -208 kPa).
(1) The emergency release indicator is installed inside the tailcone on the left side. The green
indicator disc can be seen when it is not removed, from the outside of the airplane on the left
side of the tailcone.
(2) A indicator disc that has been removed shows a possible problem. Refer to Oxygen Maintenance Practices.
NOTE:

C.

Airplanes T18208309 and on do not have an emergency release indicator disc installed.
These airplanes have a vent found in the tailcone for emergency oxygen release.
The information that follows is found on the shoulder, neck, or top head of the oxygen cylinder to help
in correct identification.
(1) Cylinder specification followed by service pressure. For example, ICC or DOT-E8162.
(2) Cylinder serial number. This is found below or directly after the cylinder specification. The
symbol of the purchaser, user, or maker, if registered with the Bureau of Explosives, can be
found directly below the serial number. The cylinder serial number can possibly be found in an
alternative location on the cylinder top head.
(3) Inspector's official mark. This is found near the serial number.
(4) Date of manufacture. This is the date of the first hydrostatic test. For example, 6-98 for June
1998. The dash between the month and the year figures can be replaced with the mark of the
inspection agency or agency doing the test. For example, 6L98.
(5) Hydrostatic test date. The dates of subsequent hydrostatic tests must be steel-stamped (month
and year) directly below the original manufacturer date. The dash between the month and year
figures can be replaced with the mark of the testing agency.
(6) A Cessna identification placard. This is found near the center of the cylinder body.
(7) Halogen test stamp (if applicable). The phrase "Halogen Tested," the date of the test (month,
day, and year), and the inspector's mark is found below the Cessna identification placard.

General
A.

2.

Before you do maintenance on the oxygen system, you must read and understand these maintenance
practices.

Precautions

WARNING: Do not smoke or have an open flame near the airplane while you do
maintenance on the oxygen system. Make sure all electrical power is
disconnected and that the airplane is correctly grounded. Oils, grease,
and solvents can burn or explode when near to oxygen under pressure.
A.
B.
C.

Make sure every port on the system is always fully clean and free of water, oil, grease, and solvent
contamination.
Put a cap on all openings immediately after you remove a component. Do not use tape or caps which
will cause moisture to collect.
Lines and fittings must be clean and dry. One of the methods that follow can be used to clean lines.

CAUTION: Most air compressors are lubricated with oil, and a minimum amount
of oil can be carried by the airstream into the system. Use a waterlubricated compressor to blow tubing clean only when nitrogen or argon
is not available. The air must be clean, dry, and filtered.
(1) Wash with a vapor-degreasing solution of stabilized trichloroethylene that conforms to MIL-T7003. Then blow tubing clean with a jet of nitrogen gas (BB-N-411) Type 1, Class 1, Grade A or
Technical Argon (MIL-A-18455).
(2) Flush with naptha that conforms to Specification TT-N-95. Then blow clean and dry with clean,
dry filtered air.
(3) Flush with anti-icing fluid that conforms to MIL-F-5566 or anhydrous ethyl alcohol. Rinse
thoroughly with fresh water and dry with a jet of nitrogen gas (BB-N-411) Type 1, Class 1,
Grade A or Technical Argon (MIL-A-18455).
(4) Flush with hot inhibited alkaline cleaner until free from oil and grease. Rinse with fresh water
and dry with a jet of nitrogen gas (BB-N-411) Type 1, Class 1, Grade A or Technical Argon
(MIL-A-18455). Put a cap on all lines immediately after they are dry.
(5) Do not fabricate pressure lines. Replace lines with factory parts, by part number.
(6) Make sure that your hands are free of dirt and grease before you install the oxygen tubing or
fittings.

to the regulator metering poppet can occur.
CAUTION: When a component of the oxygen system has been removed,
installed, replaced, or the system has been disassembled in any
way, the oxygen system must be purged and a check for leaks
must be done.
D.

Use only S1465 Teflon lubricating tape on threads of male fittings. Do not use lubricating tape on
coupling sleeves or outside of flares. Use care to prevent contamination of Teflon tape with oil, grease,
or other lubricants. The Teflon tape must be used in accordance with the instructions that follow.
(1) Lay the tape on the threads close to the end of the fitting; Apply the tape clockwise on standard
threads and counter-clockwise on the left-hand threads.
(2) Apply enough tension while you wind to make the tape form into thread grooves.
(3) After the installation of the tape is complete, keep tension on the tape and pull it apart in the
direction it was applied. The necessary result is a ragged edge, which makes the tape stay in
place. (If you shear or cut it, the tape can unwind.)
(4) Press the tape well into the threads.
(5) Make connections.

E.

Keep all of the tools used for the installation of the oxygen tubes or fittings free of dirt, grease, and
oils.
NOTE:

3.

An accurate record of the number of recharges must be kept by the owner or his agent if
the cylinder is recharged an average of once every other day or more.

Replacement of Components
A.

Use Figure 201 to help you as you remove and install components in the oxygen system.
NOTE:

Oxygen cylinder and regulator assemblies cannot always be installed in the field exactly

To remove all of the oxygen system, lower the headliner and remove the soundproofing to get access
to the lines. Refer to Chapter 25 Equipment/Furnishings - Maintenance Practices.

Oxygen Release Indicator Disc
NOTE:
A.

Airplanes T18208309 and On do not have an emergency release indicator disc installed. These
airplanes have a vent found in the tailcone for emergency oxygen release.

A release of the indicator disc can be the result of a malfunction. Do the steps that follow to make sure
the oxygen cylinder operates correctly before you install a new indicator disc. (Refer to Figure 201).
(1) Look at the indication on the oxygen gage in the overhead console. If the indication on the
gage shows the oxygen cylinder is less than full, then fill the cylinder. Refer to Oxygen System
Charging.
(a) Look at the oxygen gage to see if it fills with oxygen.
(b) If the cylinder will not fill with oxygen, then you must replace the oxygen cylinder or you
must do an overhaul. Refer to Replacement of Components.
NOTE:
(c)

The oxygen cylinder and regulator are removed and installed together as one
assembly.

A Scott Aviation approved service center must do the overhaul. Contact Scott Aviation at
(716) 686-1666 to find an approved service center.
NOTE:

The phone number for Scott Aviation after close of business hours is (716) 6835100.

(2) To install a new indicator disc, press the disc past the snap ring in the oxygen release indicator
fitting found in the left side of the tailcone.
(3) Do a functional test of the oxygen system. Refer to Oxygen Function Test.
5.

Oxygen Cylinder Inspection Requirements
A.

6.

Oxygen Mask Inspection
A.

7.

Oxygen Cylinder Inspection (Refer to Figure 201).
(1) Do an inspection of the full external surface of the cylinder for an indication of damage.
(a) Make sure to carefully examine the neck of the cylinder for cracks, distortion, or damaged
threads.
(2) Complete an inspection of the cylinder to see if markings are clear.
(3) Complete an inspection of the date of the last hydrostatic test. If the test date is expired, do not
let the cylinder go back to service until the test has been done.
(4) Complete an inspection of the cylinder mounting bracket, bracket hold-down bolts, and cylinder
holding straps for cracks, deformation, a clean surface, and correct attachment.
(5) Do a check for signs of interference, chafing, deformation, or deterioration in the area adjacent
to where the cylinder is stored and attached.

Oxygen Mask Inspection.
(1) Do a check of the oxygen masks for fabric cracks and rough face seals.
(2) Flex the mask hose gently all over and check for signs of deterioration or dirt.
(3) Do an examination of the mask and hose storage compartment for cleanliness and general
condition.

Oxygen Mask Maintenance
A.

Oxygen Mask Cleaning and Care.
(1) Clean and disinfect the mask assemblies after use, as applicable. Use care to avoid damage to
the microphone assembly while you clean and sterilize the mask assemblies.
(2) Wash the mask and the hose with a mild soap solution and rinse it with clean water.

35-01-00

Page 206
Jul 3/2006

CESSNA AIRCRAFT COMPANY

MODEL 182/T182
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
(3) To sterilize, rub the mask and hose with a gauze or sponge soaked in a water and merthiolate
solution. This solution must contain 1/5 teaspoon of merthiolate per one quart of water. Wipe
the mask and hose with a clean cloth and air dry.
(4) Make sure that each mask breathing tube end is free of nicks and that the tube end will fit into
the cabin oxygen receptacle easily and will not leak.
(5) If a mask assembly has leaks, you cannot breathe through it, or has a damaged microphone,
return the mask assembly to the manufacturer or a repair station.
(6) Replace the hose if it shows signs of deterioration.
8.

Oxygen System Functional Testing
A.

9.

After the regulator and the cylinder assembly have been replaced or overhauled, do the flow and
internal leakage tests that follow to make sure that the system operates correctly.
(1) Fully charge the oxygen system in accordance with the procedures outlined in this section.
(2) Disconnect the line and the fitting assembly from the pilot's mask and the line assembly. Put the
outlet end of the line and the fitting assembly into the cabin outlet and attach the opposite end
of the line to a pressure gage (the gage must be calibrated in one-pound increments from 0 to
100 PSI). Put the control lever in the ON position. The gage pressure should read 75 PSI, +10
or-10 PSI.
(3) Put the mask and the line assemblies into all remaining cabin outlets. With oxygen flowing from
all outlets, the test gage pressure must still be 75 PSI, +10 or -10 PSI.
(4) Put the oxygen control lever in the OFF position and let the test gage pressure fall to 0 PSI.
Remove all the adapter assemblies, but do not remove the one with the pressure gage. The
pressure must not rise above 0 PSI after one minute. Remove the pressure gage and the adapter
from the oxygen outlet.
(5) If you do not get the specified pressure readings when you do this test, remove and replace the
cylinder regulator assembly and do the test again.
(6) Connect the mask and the line assemblies to each cabin outlet and do a check of each mask
for correct operation.
(7) Do a check of the pilot's mask microphone and control wheel switch for correct operation. After
the check, return all of the masks to the mask case.
(8) Recharge the oxygen system in accordance with these procedures.

System Leak Test
A.

When there are leaks in the system, you must find the opening. Frequently you can find leakage if
you listen for the hissing of gas as it escapes. If you cannot hear the oxygen as it escapes, you must
soap test all of the lines and connections with a Castile soap and water solution or specified leak-test
material. Make the solution sufficiently thick to stay on the contours of the fittings. At the end of the
leakage test, remove all of the leak detector or soap and water solution.
CAUTION: Do not try to tighten the connections while the system is charged.

10. Oxygen System Charging
A.

Charge Oxygen System (Refer to Figure 201).
WARNING: Be sure to ground the aircraft and the equipment used to service
the system before you charge the oxygen system.
(1) Use only aviator's breathing oxygen per MIL-0-27210 to charge the oxygen system.
(2) Do not charge the oxygen cylinders if the equipment fittings used to service the system or the
filler valve is corroded or contaminated. If necessary, clean with stabilized trichloroethylene and
let air dry. Do not let the solvent enter the internal parts.
(3) If the cylinder is empty, do not charge, as the cylinder must then be removed, inspected, and
cleaned.

CESSNA AIRCRAFT COMPANY

MODEL 182/T182

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
CAUTION: A cylinder which is empty can be contaminated. The regulator
and cylinder assembly must then be disassembled, inspected, and
cleaned by an FAA approved facility before filling. Contamination,
as used here, means dirt, dust, or foreign material, or air in large
quantities. If a gage line or filler line is disconnected and you
put caps on all of the fittings immediately, no contamination of
the cylinder will occur unless temperature variation has caused
a suction in the cylinder. Air contains water vapor which can
condense and freeze. Since there are very small orifices in the
system, it is very important that this condition not occur.
(4) Connect the charging cylinder line from the oxygen service cart to the filler valve.
(5) Slowly open the valve on the oxygen service cart and charge the airplane oxygen bottle to correct
the pressure. Refer to Table 1 for charging pressures at different temperatures.
(6) Ambient temperature listed in the chart is the air temperature in the area where the system is to
be charged. Filling pressure refers to the pressure to which aircraft cylinders must be filled. This
table gives approximations only and assumes a rise in temperature of approximately 25° F,due
to heat of compression. This table also assumes the aircraft cylinders will be filled as quickly
as possible and that they will only be cooled by ambient air; no water bath, or other means of
cooling can be used.

VACUUM SYSTEM - MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1.

2.

Description and Operation
A.

The vacuum system has a filter, vacuum gage, vacuum instruments, regulator valve, vacuum manifold,
low vacuum annunciator switches, engine-driven vacuum pumps, and related plumbing.

B.

On airplanes without Garmin G1000, the source of vacuum air is in the cabin and is pulled through
the system by the engine-driven vacuum pumps. This air goes through the gyro filter at the cabin
inlet source before it goes through the vacuum gage and gyro instruments. The vacuum is controlled
by the regulator valve. The regulator valve is on the aft side of the firewall. The vacuum air is then
pulled through the vacuum manifold and past the low vacuum annunciator switches and then into the
vacuum pumps.

C.

On airplanes without Garmin G1000, vacuum pressure is measured by the low vacuum annunciator
switches in the engine compartment. The vacuum gage in the instrument panel shows the vacuum
pressure.
(1) The vacuum gage gives a direct indication of the system vacuum in inches of mercury (in.hg.).
(2) The low vacuum annunciator switches are part of the panel annunciator warning system.
(a) If the left vacuum switch (SN012) senses a vacuum below 3.0 in.hg., the VAC annunciator
will show L VAC.
(b) If the right vacuum switch (SN011) senses a vacuum below 3.0 in.hg., the VAC annunciator
will show VAC R.
(c) If both switches sense a vacuum below 3.0 in.hg., the VAC annunciators will show L VAC
R.
(3) For more information on the maintenance practices for the panel-mounted annunciator (UI005),
refer to Chapter 31, Annunciator Panel - Maintenance Practices.

D.

On airplanes with Garmin G1000, the source of vacuum air is in the cabin and is pulled through
the system by the engine-driven vacuum pump. The vacuum pressure is measured by a vacuum
transducer. The air goes through the gyro filter at the cabin inlet source before it is goes through the
horizon gyro indicator. The vacuum is controlled by the regulator valve. The regulator valve and the
vacuum transducer are on the aft side of the firewall.

Vacuum Pump Removal/Installation
NOTE:

Removal/installation is typical for the vacuum pumps.

A.

Vacuum Pump Removal (Refer to Figure 201).
(1) Remove the engine cowl. Refer to Chapter 71, Cowl - Removal/Installation.
(2) Remove the cooling shroud.
(3) Disconnect the hoses from the inlet and outlet ports of the vacuum pump.

Vacuum Manifold Test (For airplanes with the Parker Airborne manifold)
A.

9.

The vacuum manifold must be tested periodically to determine its condition and serviceability. Refer
to Chapter 5, Inspection Time Limits for inspection intervals. Refer to Parker Hannifin Corporation/
Airborne Division's Product Reference Memo #39 (or latest revision) for the procedures.

Vacuum Pressure Adjustment/Test (For airplanes with the Parker Airborne regulator valve or the
Aero Accessories regulator valve)
NOTE:

Before the adjustment procedure, the entire pneumatic system must be inspected and tested for
leaks, restrictions, and unserviceable components. Failure to correct all system anomalies will
lead to reduced dry air pump service life.

A.

Prepare the System for the Test (Refer to Figure 201).
(1) Remove the gyro (central air) filter.

B.

Do a Check of the Regulator Valve.

CAUTION: Make sure that the temperature of the engine does not go above the
maximum engine temperature during the adjustment/test of the regulator
valve.
NOTE:

At engine speeds between 1200 RPM and full throttle, suction must fall between 4.5 in.hg.
and 5.5 in.hg. (green range on gage).

(1) Start the engine, warm up to the normal operating temperature, and run at static RPM. Refer to
Pilot's Operating Handbook and FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual.
(2) Make sure the suction gage indication does not go above 5.5 in.hg.
(3) Run the engine at 1200 RPM and make sure the gage indication does not go below 4.5 in.hg.
(4) If the suction indication falls outside of the range, shut down the engine and adjust the regulator
valve in the steps that follow.
(a) Bend the locking tab upward on the lower surface of the regulator valve.

CAUTION: Be careful when you turn the adjustment screw. Do not turn
it too much in either direction. When you turn it too much in
either direction, damage can occur to the equipment.
(b) Turn the adjustment screw on the lower surface of the regulator valve in the direction to
increase or decrease the pressure as necessary.
NOTE:

As you face the adjustment screw, when you turn it clockwise the pressure
increases. When you turn it counterclockwise, the pressure decreases.

(c) Tap the regulator after you adjust it to help reset the components.
(d) Bend the locking tab downward to keep the adjustment screw in place when the correct
pressure has been set.
(5) Run the engine at static RPM and make sure the gage indication does not go above 5.5 in.hg.
(6) Run the engine at 1200 RPM and make sure the gage indication does not go below 4.5 in.hg.
(7) Shut down the engine.
(a) For airplanes without the Garmin G1000, make sure that the L VAC R lights come on.
(b) For airplanes with the Garmin G1000, make sure that the low vacuum annunciator visual
and aural warnings come on.
(8) Attach the filter element to the gyro (central air) filter.
(9) Before you start the engine, make sure that the low vacuum annunciations are on.
(a) For airplanes without the Garmin G1000, make sure that the L VAC R lights are on.

STRUCTURES - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1.

Description
A.

The fuselage is of semimonocoque construction and consists of three major sections: forward
section, center section, and tailcone section. Construction consists of formed bulkheads, longitudinal
stringers, reinforcing channels and skin. Frame members of the cabin section are constructed of
formed bulkhead channels. Bulkheads are formed "U" channel sections. Principal material is 20240 alclad aluminum alloy which, after forming, is heat treated to a 2024-T42 condition and painted
with epoxy primer. All bulkheads in the fuselage are constructed of formed sheet metal or reinforced
sheet metal.

B.

The wings are of all-metal, strut-braced, semi monocoque construction, utilizing two spars. Each wing
consists of an outer wing panel with an integral fuel bay, an aileron and a flap. Flanged upper and
lower edges of all ribs serve as cap- strips, in addition to providing rigidity to the rib. The skin, riveted
directly to each rib flange, provides the cellular strength for each successive rib bay. The nose, center,
and trailing edge rib segments are riveted together through the front and rear spars to form the basic
airfoil sections. Alclad stringers stiffen the skin between ribs. Spars are comprised of machine milled,
tapered extrusions riveted to sheet metal webs.

C.

The full cantilever, all-metal tail group consists of a vertical stabilizer and rudder, and a horizontal
stabilizer and elevators. The horizontal stabilizer is of one-piece construction, consisting of spars,
ribs and skins. Elevators are constructed of aluminum spars, ribs and skin panels. The skin panels
are riveted to ribs and spars. A balance weight is located in the outboard end of each elevator, forward
of the hinge line. An elevator trim tab, attached to the elevator, is constructed of a spar, ribs, and skin;
all riveted together. The vertical stabilizer is constructed of a forward spar, an aft spar, ribs and skin.
The rudder is constructed of spars, ribs and skin panels. The rudder trim tab is constructed of a spar,
ribs, and skin; all riveted together.

D.

The main landing gear is constructed of 6150 alloy spring steel tubing with attaching parts of high
strength 7075-T73 aluminum alloy forgings. Nose gear components are 4130, 6150 alloy steel and
7075-T73 aluminum alloy forgings.

E.

The engine mount is constructed of welded 4130 steel tubing.

F.

The engine cowling consists of upper and lower formed aluminum sections. The upper section
includes an oil inspection/filler door, and the lower section includes an air induction scoop with an
engine induction system air filter. Both sections are removable.

Characteristics of Corrosion
A.

3.

This section describes corrosion so the maintenance technician can identify the various types of
corrosion and apply preventative measures to minimize corrosion activity. For corrosion control and
corrosion damage, refer to the Single Engine Structural Repair Manual 1996 and On.

Corrosion is a natural phenomenon which destroys metal by chemical or electrochemical action and
converts it to a metallic compound, such as an oxide, hydroxide, or sulfate. All metals used in airplane
construction are subject to corrosion. Attack may take place over an entire metal surface, if exposed,
or it may be penetrating in nature, forming deep pits. It may follow grain boundaries or it may penetrate
a surface at random. Corrosion may be accentuated by stresses from external loads or from lack
of homogeneity in the metallic structure or from improper heat treatment. It is promoted by contact
between dissimilar metals or with materials which absorb moisture, such as wood, rubber, felt, dirt,
etc.
(1) The following conditions must exist for electrochemical corrosion to occur. Refer to Figure 1 for
an illustration of electrochemical corrosion.
(a) There must be a metal that corrodes and acts as the anode.
(b) There must be a less corrodible metal that acts as the cathode.
(c) There must be a continuous liquid path between the two metals which acts as the
electrolyte, usually condensation and salt or other contamination.
(d) There must be a conductor to carry the flow of electrons from the cathode to the anode.
This conductor is usually in the form of a metal-to-metal contact (rivets, bolts, welds, etc.)
(2) The elimination of any one of the four conditions described above will stop the corrosion reaction
process.
(3) One of the best ways to eliminate one of the four described conditions is to apply an organic
film (such as paint, grease, plastic, etc.) to the surface of the metal affected. This will prevent
the electrolyte from connecting the cathode to the anode, and current cannot flow, therefore,
preventing corrosion reaction. Refer to Figure 1 for a typical organic film application.
(4) At normal atmospheric temperatures, metals do not corrode appreciably without moisture, but
the moisture in the air is usually enough to start corrosive action.
(5) The initial rate of corrosion is usually much greater than the rate after a short period of time.
This slowing down occurs because of the oxide film that forms on the metal's surface. This film
tends to protect the metal underneath.
(6) When components and systems constructed of many different types of metals must perform
under various climatic conditions, corrosion becomes a complex problem. Salt on metal surfaces
(from sea coast operation) greatly increases the electrical conductivity of any moisture present
and accelerates corrosion.
(7) Other environmental conditions which contribute to corrosion are:
(a) Moisture collecting on dirt particles.
(b) Moisture collecting in crevices between lap joints, around rivets, bolts and screws.

Types of Corrosion
A.

Corrosion Types.
(1) Direct Surface Attack - The most common type of general surface corrosion results from direct
reaction of a metal surface with oxygen in the atmosphere. Unless properly protected, steel
will rust and aluminum and magnesium will form oxides. The attack may be accelerated by salt
spray or salt-bearing air, by industrial gases or by engine exhaust gases.
(2) Pitting - While pitting can occur in any metal, it is particularly characteristic of passive materials,
such as the alloys of aluminum, nickel and chromium. It is first noticeable as a white or gray
powdery deposit similar to dust, which blotches the surface. When the deposits are cleaned
away, tiny pits can be seen in the surface.
(3) Dissimilar Metal Corrosion - When two dissimilar metals are in contact and are connected by an
electrolyte (continuous liquid or gas path), accelerated corrosion of one of the metals occurs.
The most easily oxidized surface becomes the anode and corrodes. The less active member

of the couple becomes the cathode of the galvanic cell. The degree of attack depends on the
relative activity of the two surfaces; the greater the difference in activity the more severe the
corrosion. Relative activity in descending order is as follows:
(a) Magnesium and its alloys.
(b) Aluminum alloys 1100, 3003, 5052, 6061, 220, 355, 356, cadmium and zinc.
(c) Aluminum alloys 2014, 2017, 2024, 7075 and 195.
(d) Iron, lead and their alloys (except stainless steel).
(e) Stainless steels, titanium, chromium, nickel, copper, and their alloys.
(f) Graphite (including dry film lubricants containing graphite).
Intergranular Corrosion - Selective attack along the grain boundaries in metal alloys is referred to
as intergranular corrosion. It results from lack of uniformity in the alloy structure. It is particularly
characteristic of precipitation hardened alloys of aluminum and some stainless steels. Aluminum
extrusions and forgings in general may contain nonuniform areas, which in turn may result in
galvanic attack along the grain boundaries. When attack is well advanced, the metal may blister
or delaminate, which is referred to as 'exfoliation'.
Stress Corrosion - This results from the combined effect of static tensile stresses applied
to a surface over a period of time. In general, cracking susceptibility increases with stress,
particularly at stresses approaching the yield point, and with increasing temperature, exposure
time and concentration of corrosive ingredients in the surrounding environment. Examples
of parts which are susceptible to stress corrosion cracking are aluminum alloy bell cranks
employing pressed-in taper pins, landing gear shock struts with pipe thread-type grease fittings,
clevis joints and shrink fits.
Corrosion Fatigue - This is a type of stress corrosion resulting from the cyclic stresses on a metal
in corrosive surroundings. Corrosion may start at the bottom of a shallow pit in the stressed area.
Once attack begins, the continuous flexing prevents repair of protective surface coating or oxide
films and additional corrosion takes place in the area of stress.

Typical Corrosion Areas
A.

This section lists typical areas of the airplane which are susceptible to corrosion. These areas should
be carefully inspected at periodic intervals to detect corrosion as early as possible.
(1) Engine Exhaust Trail Areas.
(a) Gaps, seams and fairings on the lower right side of the fuselage, aft of the engine exhaust
stack, are typical areas where deposits may be trapped and not reached by normal cleaning
methods.
(b) Around rivet heads, skin laps and inspection covers on the airplane lower fuselage, aft of
the engine secondary exhaust stack, should be carefully cleaned and inspected.
(2) Battery Box and Battery Vent Opening.
(a) The battery, battery cover, battery box and adjacent areas, especially areas below
the battery box where battery electrolyte may have seeped, are particularly subject to
corrosive action. If spilled battery electrolyte is neutralized and cleaned up at the same
time of spillage, corrosion can be held to a minimum by using a weak boric acid solution
to neutralize the battery electrolyte (ni-cad battery) or baking soda solution to neutralize
the lead acid-type battery electrolyte. If boric acid or baking soda is not available, flood
the area with water.
(3) Steel Control Cables (including Stainless Steel).
(a) Checking for corrosion on control cables is normally accomplished during the preventative
maintenance check. During preventative maintenance, broken wires and wear of the
control cables are also checked.
(b) If the surface of the cable is corroded, carefully force the cable open by reverse twisting
and visually inspect the interior. Corrosion on the interior strands of the cable constitutes
failure and the cable must be replaced. If no internal corrosion is detected, remove loose
external rust and corrosion with a clean, dry, coarse-weave rag or fiber brush.
NOTE:

Do not use metallic wools or solvents to clean installed cables. Use of metallic
wool will embed dissimilar metal particles in the cables and create further
corrosion. Solvents will remove internal cable lubricant, allowing cable strands
to abrade and further corrode.

After thorough cleaning of the exterior cable surface, apply a light coat of lubricant (VV-L800) to the external cable surface.
(4) Internal Fuel Tanks.
(a) The presence of soil contamination (a brown slimy substance) and pitting-type corrosion
may occur in the lower areas of the integral fuel tanks of certain airplanes. This condition
can cause a general degradation of some top coating and some depolymerization and
loosening of sealant materials in lower areas.
(b) The contaminants resemble normal aluminum corrosion products, including a considerable
quantity of iron. The brown, slimy deposits are microbial in nature. Examination of the
corrosion pits by metallurgical techniques indicate the presence of intergranular attacks.
(c)

5.

Corrosion Detection
A.

6.

Corrosion Defoliation. The primary means of corrosion detection is visual, but in situations where
visual inspection is not feasible, other techniques must be used. The use of liquid dye penetrant,
magnetic particle, X-ray and ultra-sonic devices can be used, but most of these sophisticated
techniques are intended for the detection of physical flaws within metal objects, rather than the
detection of corrosion.
(1) Visual Inspection. A visual check of the metal surface can reveal the signs of corrosive attack,
the most obvious of which is a corrosive deposit. Corrosion deposits of aluminum or magnesium
are generally a white or grayish-white powder, while the color of ferrous compounds varies from
red to dark reddish-brown.
(a) The indications of corrosive attack are small, localized discolorations of the metal surface.
Surfaces protected by paint or plating may only exhibit indications of more advanced
corrosive attack by the presence of blisters or bulges in the protective film. Bulges in lap
joints are indications of corrosive build-up which is well advanced.
(b) In many cases the inspection area is obscured by structural members, equipment
installations or, for other reasons, are awkward to check visually. In such cases, mirrors,
borescope or similar devices can be used to inspect the obscured areas. Any means
which allows a thorough inspection can be used. Magnifying glasses are valuable aids
for determining whether or not all corrosive products have been removed during clean up
operations.
(2) Liquid Dye Penetrant Inspection. Inspection for large stress-corrosion or corrosion fatigue cracks
on nonporous or nonferrous metals may be accomplished using dye penetrant processes. The
dye applied to a clean metallic surface will enter small openings or cracks by capillary action.
After the dye has an opportunity to be absorbed by any surface discontinuity, the excess dye is
removed and a developer is applied to the surface. The developer acts like a blotter and draws
the dye from cracks or fissures back to the surface, giving visible indication of any fault that is
present on the surface. The magnitude of the fault is indicated by the quantity of dye brought
back to the surface by the developer.

Corrosion Damage Limits
A.
Following cleaning and inspection of the corroded area, the actual extent of the damage may
be evaluated using the following general guidelines and good, sound maintenance judgement.
Determine the degree of corrosion damage (light, moderate, or severe) with a dial-type depth gage,
if accessibility permits. If the area is inaccessible, clay impressions, or any other means which will
give accurate results, should be used. In the event the corrosion damage is severe, contact Cessna
Propeller Aircraft Product Support for assistance.
(1) Light Corrosion - Characterized by discoloration or pitting to a depth of approximately 0.001 inch
maximum. This type of damage is normally removed by light hand-sanding or a minimum of
chemical treatment.
(2) Moderate Corrosion - Appears similar to light corrosion except there may be blistering or some
evidence of scaling or faking. Pitting depths may be as deep as 0.010 inch. This type of damage
is normally removed by extensive hand-sanding or mechanical sanding.
(3) Severe Corrosion - General appearance may be similar to moderate corrosion with severe
blistering exfoliation and scaling or flaking. Pitting depths may be as deep as 0.10 inch. This
type of damage is normally removed by extensive mechanical sanding or grinding (if not
complete part replacement).

CABIN DOORS - DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
1.

Description
A.

2.

A cabin door is installed on each side of the airplane. Each door has an outer sheet skin that is
chemically bonded to an inner pan assembly. Each door has a latch assembly, an inside handle, a
pair of external hinges, and a doorstop assembly.

Operation
A.

The cabin doors open by the inside or outside handle, that is connected to internal components.
(1) The cabin door latch is a two-part assembly latch base, external handle, spring-loaded latch bolt
and pull-bar assembly, and a spring-loaded catch pin assembly. The interior handle base plate
assembly is directly connected to the cabin door latch by an adjustable push rod assembly. This
push rod assembly has two clamps attached 180 degrees apart on the main rod. These clamps
operate a cable assembly that moves a cable pin from the top aft end of the cabin door into the
aft top door sill.
(2) The door latch exterior handle is extended when the cabin door is open. The handle is held in
position by the spring-loaded latch catch engaged with the latch bolt through the hole in the bolt.
The push rod assembly will move forward. The attached cable assembly will be retracted from
the top door sill with the cable pin in a recess in the pin guide. The interior handle will move
approximately 15 degrees aft of the vertical position.

B.

The cabin doors close and latch by the internal or external handle connected with internal components.
(1) The cabin door moves the catch pin over the actuator attached to the cover plate. The cover
plate is on the rear door post. The catch pin disengages the latch catch from the latch bolt as the
catch pin is moved forward. The latch handle extends and the pull-bar assembly compresses.
The latch handle is pulled in and the latch bolt is moved on the latch striker. The latch striker is
on the rear door post.
(2) The push rod assembly moves aft and moves the cable pin from the pin guide in the door into
the top aft door sill receptacle when the exterior handle is pushed flush with the fuselage skin.
The interior door handle has moved from approximately 15 degrees aft of the vertical position
to approximately 45 degrees forward of the vertical position. The interior handle pushed to the
horizontal position, flush with the armrest, will overcenter the door latch.

C.

The cabin doors have a key lock.
(1) The key lock turns and moves the pin into the exterior latch handle when the cabin door is closed
and the exterior latch handle is flush.
NOTE:

(2)

It is possible to lock the cabin door when the exterior handle is used and the push rod
assembly is not adjusted correctly. The rigging and adjustment procedures must be
used to correctly adjust the push rod.

An optional Medeco lock is installed on the cabin doors on some airplanes.

Tools, Equipment and Materials

3.

This section provides instructions and tips for cleaning and installing windshields and windows used
in the airplane.

For a list of required tools, equipment and materials, refer to Windows - General.

Cleaning Instructions

CAUTION: Windshields and windows (acrylic-faced) are easily damaged by
improper handling and cleaning techniques.
CAUTION: Do not use methanol, denatured alcohol, gasoline, benzene, xylene,
methyl propyl ketone, acetone, carbon tetrachloride, lacquer thinner,
commercial or household window cleaning sprays on windshields or
windows.
A.

Instructions For Cleaning.
(1) Place airplane inside hangar or in shaded area and allow to cool from heat of sun's direct rays.
(2) Using clean (preferably running) water, flood the surface. Use bare hands with no jewelry to feel
and dislodge any dirt or abrasive materials.
(3) Using a mild soap or detergent (such as a dishwashing liquid) in water, wash the surface. Again
use only the bare hand to provide rubbing force. (A clean cloth may be used to transfer the soap
solution to the surface, but extreme care must be exercised to prevent scratching the surface.)
(4) When contaminants on acrylic windshields and windows cannot be removed by a mild detergent,
Type II aliphatic naphtha, applied with a soft clean cloth, may be used as a cleaning solvent. Be
sure to frequently refold cloth to avoid redepositing contaminants and/or scratching windshield
with any abrasive particles.
(5) Rinse surface thoroughly with clean fresh water and dry with a clean cloth.
(6) Hard polishing wax should be applied to acrylic surfaces. (The wax has an index of refraction
nearly the same as transparent acrylic and will tend to mask any shallow scratches on the
windshield surface.)
(7) Acrylic surfaces may be polished using a polish meeting Federal Specification P-P-560 applied
per the manufacturers instructions.
NOTE:

4.

When applying and removing wax and polish, use a clean, soft cloth, such as cotton
flannel.

Windshield and Window Preventive Maintenance
Utilization of the following techniques will help minimize windshield and window crazing.
General Notes and Techniques For Acrylic Windshields.
(1) Keep all surfaces of windshields and windows clean.
(2) If desired, wax acrylic surfaces.
(3) Carefully cover all surfaces during any painting, powerplant cleaning or other procedure that
calls for use of any type of solvents or chemicals.
(4) Do not park or store airplane where it might be subjected to direct contact with or vapors from:
methanol, denatured alcohol, gasoline, benzene, xylene, methyl propyl ketone, acetone, carbon
tetrachloride, lacquer thinner, commercial or household window cleaning sprays, paint strippers,
or other types of solvents.
(5) Do not leave sunvisors up against windshield when not in use. The reflected heat from these
items causes elevated temperatures on the windshield. If solar screens are installed on the
inside of the airplane, make sure they are the silver appearing, reflective type.

Do not use a power drill motor or other powered device to clean, polish, or wax surfaces.

Windshield and Window Installation Techniques
A.

Installation Techniques.
(1) Special drills must be used when drilling holes in acrylic. Standard drills will cause the hole to
be oversized, distorted, or excessively chipped.
(2) Whenever possible, a coolant, such as a plastic drilling wax, should be used to lubricate the drill
bit.
(3) Drilled holes should be smooth with a finish of 125 rms (root mean square).
(4) The feed and speed of the drill is critical. Refer to Table 1 for thickness versus drill speed
information.

Table 1. Material Thickness vs. Drill Speed

Thickness (inches)

Thickness (mm)

Drill Speed (RPM)

0.062 to 0.1875

1.57 to 4.76

(5) In addition to feed and speed of the drill bit, the tip configuration is of special importance when
drilling through acrylic windows and windshields. Tip configuration varies with hole depth, and
the following information applies when drilling through acrylic:
(a) Shallow Holes - When hole depth to hole diameter ratio is less than 1.5 to 1, the drill shall
have an included tip angle of 55 degrees to 60 degrees and a lip clearance angle of 15
degrees to 20 degrees.
(b) Medium Deep Holes - When hole depth to hole diameter ratio is from 1.5 to 1 up to 3 to 1,
the drill shall have an included tip angle of 60 degrees to 140 degrees and a lip clearance
angle of 15 degrees to 20 degrees.
(c) Deep Holes - when hole depth of hole diameter ratio is greater than 3 to 1, the drill shall
have an included tip angle of 140 degrees and a lip clearance of 12 degrees to 15 degrees.
(6) Parts which must have holes drilled shall be backed up with a drill fixture. Holes may be drilled
through the part from one side. However, less chipping around holes will occur if holes are drilled
by drilling the holes from both sides. This is accomplished by using a drill with an acrylic backup
piece on the opposite side. Remove the drill from the hole and switch the backup plate and finish
drilling from the opposite side.
6.

Windshield Rain Repellent
A.

Repcon is a rain repellent and surface conditioner that may be used to increase the natural cleaning
of the windshield during rain. Apply in accordance with manufacturers instructions.

Temporary Repairs
A.

Temporary repairs to windshields and windows can be accomplished using the following steps. Refer
to Figure 202 for an illustration of repair techniques.
(1) When a crack appears, drill a hole at end of crack to prevent further spreading. Hole should
be approximately 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) diameter, depending on length of crack and thickness of
material.

(2) Temporary repairs to flat surfaces can be accomplished by placing a thin strip of wood over each
side of the surface, and inserting small bolts through the wood and plastic. A cushion of sheet
rubber or airplane fabric should be placed between wood and plastic on both sides.
(3) A temporary repair can be made by drilling small holes along both sides of crack, 1/8 to 1/4 inch
(3.2 to 6.4 mm) apart, and lacing edges together with soft wire. This type of repair is used as a
temporary measure only, and as soon as facilities are available, panel should be replaced.

WINGS AND WING STRUTS - MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
1.

Description and Operation

WARNING: Some right wings have a spar cap of 0.100 inches thick, and are
not to be used on increased weight STC's (such as float planes).

2.

A.

Each metal wing is a semicantilever, semimonocoque type, with two main spars and suitable ribs for
the attachment of the skin. Panels are riveted to ribs, spars and stringers to complete the structure.
An all metal, piano hinged aileron, flap and detachable wing tip are mounted on each wing assembly.
Each wing also incorporates an integral fuel bay located between the two spars at the inboard portion
of the wing. Each wing is supported in position by a single lift strut. It consists of a streamlined tube
riveted to two end fittings for attachment at the wing and at the fuselage.

B.

For a skeletal view of the wing assembly, refer to Chapter 6, Airplane Stations - Description and
Operation.

Wing and Strut Removal/Installation
A.

MODEL 182/T182

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
CAUTION: Make sure you rotate the eccentric bushings together. If you rotate
just one, you will destroy the alignment between the off-center bolt
holes in the bushings. A nonalignment of a bolt will result in a force
on the bolt which will damage the hole in the wing spar.
(3) Loosen the aft wing spar nuts and rotate eccentric bushings simultaneously until the bushings
are positioned with the thick side of the eccentrics up.
NOTE:

This will lower the trailing edge of the wing, and decrease wing heaviness by
increasing angle of incidence of the wing.

(4) Torque the front wing spar bolts 290 to 410 inch-pounds.
(5) Torque the rear wing spar bolts 450 to 500 inch-pounds.
(6) Install the fairing strip.
(7) Test fly the airplane.

CAUTION: Make sure the eccentric bushings are rotated simultaneously.
Rotating them separately will destroy the alignment between
the off-center bolt holes in the bushings, thus exerting a
shearing force on the bolt, with possible damage to the hole
in the wing spar.
(a) If the wing heavy condition continues, remove the fairing strip on the lighter wing, loosen
the nut and rotate the eccentric bushings simultaneously until the bushings are positioned
with the thick side of the eccentrics down.
NOTE:

This will raise the trailing edge of the wing, thus increasing wing heaviness to
balance heaviness in the opposite wing.

(8) Torque the rear wing spar bolts 450 to 500 inch-pounds.
(9) Install fairing strip and repeat flight test.
4.

Strut Damage and Repair Criteria

CAUTION: If the strut is severely dented, cracked or deformed, it must be replaced.
A.

Damage Caused by the Strut Fairings.
NOTE:

The following procedures are applicable only to the specific areas of the strut.

(1) The strut must be replaced if a groove is more then 0.010 inch in depth and is less then 0.75
inch from a rivet center.
(2) The strut must be replaced if a groove is more than 0.75 inch from a rivet center and the groove
depth is more then 0.025 inch.
(3) If groove depth is less than 0.025 inch and is more than 0.75 inch from a rivet center, the strut
must be repaired. tapering gradually to the original surface and burnishing out to a smooth finish.
(a) Blend and smooth the surface area of the groove. Make sure not to remove any more
material from the groove.
(b) Check the area using a dye penetrant to make sure there are no cracks.
(c) Apply Alodine and repaint the area.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
B.

Damage Caused by the Cabin Door.
NOTE:

The following applies to the wing struts with grooves worn in the lower trailing edge. This
type of damage can occur with cabin door usage with a missing or incorrectly adjusted
door stop. A incorrectly adjusted door stop allows the door to hit against the aft edge of
the strut at the lower end.

(1) The strut must be replaced if a groove is deeper than 50 percent of the original material thickness.
(2) Repair the strut if a groove is less than 50 percent of the original material thickness.
(a) Blend and smooth the surrounding surface area of the groove. Make sure not to remove
any more material from the groove.
(b) Check the area using a dye penetrant to make sure there are no cracks.
(c) Apply Alodine and repaint the area.
(d) Rig the door to prevent door from rubbing the strut tube.
5.

Wing Tip Removal/Installation
A.

Remove the Wing Tip (Refer to Figure 202).
(1) Remove the wing tip.

Troubleshooting Chart
A.

Use the chart that follows and the information in Chapter 74, Ignition System - Troubleshooting to
help with engine and fuel system troubleshooting. For more information than that given in this chapter,
refer to the applicable engine manuals and publications listed in the Introduction, List of Manufacturers
Technical Publications.

NOTE:
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
(5)
(6)
(7)

If the engine operates at a lower power than usual, use the troubleshooting chart and the
procedures that follow to find the cause of the low power condition.

Align the airplane 90 degrees to the right of the wind direction.
Operate the engine at full throttle in accordance with procedures given in the Pilot's Operating
Handbook and the approved Airplane Flight Manual.
Record the engine revolutions per minute (RPM).
Align the airplane 90 degrees to the left of the wind direction.
Operate the engine again at full throttle.
Record the RPM again.
Calculate the average RPM from the recorded RPM figures. The RPM must be between 2350
and 2400 RPM.
NOTE:

(8)

Differences in atmospheric pressure, temperature, and humidity can have an
important effect on run-up RPM. Low static run-up RPM information must be used
with other troubleshooting procedures to find if other maintenance is needed.

If the run-up shows low power, do a check of the items that follow.
(a) Make sure that the alternate air door operates correctly and that the door stays closed
while the airplane is in operation.
Measure the magneto timing, and examine the spark plugs and ignition harness. Make
(b)
sure that they are correctly set and are in good condition.
(c) Make sure that the fuel injection nozzles are clean and free from contamination. Make sure
that the un-metered fuel flow is correct.
(d) Make sure that the induction air filter is clean and in good condition. Clean or replace the
induction air filter, as necessary.
Do the engine compression check.

2.

Description and Operation
A.

The engine has a top cowl, two side cowls and a bottom cowl. The front of the engine has a top and
bottom or a left and right nose-cap that is made of composite material. The cowls use quick-release
fasteners that lock into receptacles for easy removal and installation. The nose-caps attach to each
other with screws.

B.

There are two cowl flaps in the bottom cowl. They help control the engine temperature and operate
by a control lever in the cockpit.

Side Cowl Removal/Installation
NOTE:

The removal and installation is typical for the left and right side cowl.

A.

Remove the Side Cowl (Refer to Figure 201).

Remove the marked material from the cowl.
NOTE:

A 0.75 inch (19 mm) drum sander will work good to remove the cowl
material.

(d) Align the cowl on the airplane and use duct tape to hold it in position.

CAUTION: Do not use a regular drill or damage to the receptacle can occur
if you drill too deep.
(e) Use a counterbore with an applicable size pilot to fit the pilot hole and spot-face the cowl
to 0.470 inch (12 mm) for the number (1) hole.
(f) Install a quick-release fastener with a grommet and lock it in position at hole number (1).
(g) Remove the duct tape so you can move the cowl as necessary to align the holes that
remain.

CAUTION: Make sure you spot-face and install the quick-release fasteners
and grommets in the sequence shown on Figure 202, Detail A.
(h) Use a counterbore to spot-face each pilot hole and install each quick-release fastener and
grommet in the sequence shown in Figure 202, Detail A.
1
If the pilot hole is not centered over the receptacle, use a small round file to move the
center of the pilot hole so it will be aligned over the receptacle.
If you increase the pilot hole diameter in the cowl with a round file, you must change
2
the counterbore pilot to fit the pilot hole.
3
If you do not have the correct size pilot for the counterbore, use a piece of steel
sheet-metal and drill a hole to the same diameter as the counterbore pilot which can
be used as a template to help guide the counterbore.
NOTE:

The template thickness must be sufficient to help keep the counterbore
aligned with the receptacle. Use a minimum thickness of 0.032 inch (0.81
mm) material for the template.

Clamp the template to the bottom side of the cowl hole. Make sure to align the
template pilot hole over the receptacle as you align it.
b
With the template as a guide, spot-face the pilot hole with the counterbore.
After all the cam-locks are installed, the cowl edges must be cut to the correct size.
a

(i)

CAUTION: Make sure you mark the cowl for the correct clearance. You
cannot have more than 0.060 inch (1.524 mm) clearance
between the edges of the cowl. If you cut too much off the
cowl, the cowl cannot be used.
