All electrical systems operational inspections are to be made using an external power source capable of delivering
and maintaining 28.25 volts ± 0.25 volts.
The Hawker Beechcraft Corporation issues service information for the benefit of owners and operators in the form of two classes
of Service Bulletins. MANDATORY (Red Border) Service Bulletins are changes, inspections or modifications that could affect
safety. The factory considers compliance with these Service Bulletins mandatory. OPTIONAL (No Border) Service Bulletins cover
changes, modifications, improvements or inspections which may benefit the owner. Due to the wide range of information covered
by the OPTIONAL Service Bulletin, each owner or operator is responsible for conducting a thorough review of each OPTIONAL
Service Bulletin to determine if compliance is required based on the applicability of the OPTIONAL Service Bulletin to their
particular set of operating conditions. It is the responsibility of the owner or operator to ensure that all Hawker Beechcraft
Corporation Service Bulletins which are pertinent to their particular operation are complied with.

WARNING
Under no circumstances should the landing gear be operated electrically while the hand
crank is engaged. In the event of such an operation, a tear down and magnetic
inspection should be performed to determine damage to the engagement slot in the
worm shaft.
NOTE
Since the battery voltage is not sufficient to properly cycle the landing gear for this
inspection, use only an external power source capable of delivering and maintaining
28.25 ± 0.25 vdc to the airplane's electrical system throughout the extension and
retraction cycles when performing the landing gear retraction inspection. For more
specific information which may be necessary to accomplish the following items, refer to
Chapter 32.
(1) LANDING GEAR ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY - Place the airplane on three-point jacks and the
retraction cycle started enough to break the down lock tension, apply a sharp load by hand in
an aft direction against the nose gear strut. If this causes the main gear wheels to move
approximately 1/2 to 1 inch, it is a good indication that the gear actuator assembly needs
overhaul and/or adjustment.
(2) DOORS - Check door operation, fit and fair. Check for unusual noise.
(3) GENERAL OPERATION - Cycle the landing gear while checking to ascertain that the position
light switches operate in conjunction with the landing gear position. Check the condition and
operation of the complete landing gear system (Ref. Chapter 32-00-00).
(5) POSITION LIGHTS - Check for security, adjustment, wiring for breaks, condition of insulation,
loose connections and proper indication.
(6) EMERGENCY EXTENSION - Check system for freedom of operation. Check for unusual noise.

MECHANIC ____________________________________________________________
L. Electric Propeller Deicer System - 50 Hour Inspection Guide (Goodrich and McCauley)
The various components of the deicer system should be inspected periodically for incipient defects. The purpose of the following
inspection is to provide a means for detecting and correcting such defects before they render the system inoperative.
(1) Lock the brakes and operate the engines at near take-off power. Turn the deicer system switch ON and observe the ammeter for
at least 2 minutes (3 minutes on McCauley). If the ammeter needle does not rest within the shaded band, except for a flicker at 30
second (90 seconds on McCauley) intervals when the step switch of the timer cycles, refer to the troubleshooting table for the
probable source of trouble.
Warning: Before moving the propeller, make certain that the ignition switch is off and that the engine has cooled
completely. There is always some danger of a cylinder firing when a propeller is moved.
Caution: While following the instructions of Step b., move the propeller back and forth to prevent arcing between the
brushes and the slip ring.
(2) With the engine shut-off, turn the deicer switch ON and feel the deicer boots on the propeller for the proper sequence of heater
operation. The presence of local hot spots indicate severe damage to the deicer heaters, which should be repaired before more
serious damage develops.
(3) Remove the spinner dome and open all access doors pertaining to the wiring and components of the deicer system. Turn the
deicer switch ON and station an assistant in the airplane to observe the ammeter. Flex all accessible wiring, particularly the lead
straps, leads from the slip ring assembly, and the fire wall electrical connectors and their wiring. Any movement of the ammeter,
other than the cycling flicker that occurs at 30 second (90 seconds on McCauley) intervals, indicates a short or open circuit that
must be located and corrected.
(4) To extend the life of the lead strap between the hub clamp and clip, reposition the bend in the strap at a point at least 1/2 inch
from the existing location of the bend.
(5) Check for damaged brush rods or springs and for worn or damaged brushes.
M. Electric Propeller Deicer System - 100 Hour Inspection Guide (Goodrich and McCauley)
(1) Repeat the 50-hour inspection.
(2) Check for radio noise or radio compass interference by operating the engine at near take-off power with the radio gear turned
on. If, under these conditions noise or interference occurs when the deicer switch is ON and disappears when the switch is OFF,
refer to the troubleshooting table for the probable source of trouble.
(3) Check all clamps, clips, mountings, electrical connections, and connectors for tightness and electrical soundness. Also check for
loose, broken or missing safety wire.
(4) Closely check the deicer boots for wrinkled, loose or torn areas, particularly around the outboard end and at the point where the
strap passes under the hub clamp. Look for abrasions or cuts along the leading edge of the flat or thrust face. If the heater wires
are exposed in damaged areas or if the rubber is found to be tacky, swollen, or deteriorated (as from contact with oil or solvent
fluids), replace the damaged deicer boot.
(5) Check that the hub clamps are tight. Inspect for cracks or other damage. Check to see that the cushioning material is not missing
or damaged in the area under the hub clamp or on the edge of the spinner dome. Manually operate the propeller from full pitch to
feathering while checking that the deicer lead straps do not come under tension.
(6) Check the slip rings for gouges, roughened surface, cracks, burned or discolored areas, and for deposits of oil, grease, or dirt.
Clean greasy or contaminated slip rings with solvent (methyl propyl ketone on McCauley or solvent, (53, Table 1, 20-40-00). After
such a cleaning, a run-in time of 5 hours of engine operation must be allowed before the deicer system is turned on.
(7) If uneven wear or wobble is detected, check the alignment of the slip rings on the prop shaft with a dial indicator. While checking
the alignment, push in while turning the prop to eliminate play in the propeller thrust bearing. If the run-out over 360 degrees of
rotation is over 0.005 inch or in excess of 0.002 inch in any 4-inch arc, refer to the paragraph on slip ring alignment in Chapter
30-60-00.
(8) Examine the brush mounting brackets and housings for cracks, deformation or other indications of damage. Check for tight
connections and that the leads are not chafed or binding.
(9) Check that each brush rides fully on its slip ring over 360 degrees of rotation. If the brush is not properly aligned, add or remove
shims under the brush block or elongate the holes in the mounting bracket to raise or lower the brush block to the proper
position. If the brushes ride both high and low with respect to the slip rings in 360 degrees of rotation, the slip ring assembly is
eccentrically mounted and must be replaced.
(10) Check for proper spacing between the brush block and slip rings as indicated in Chapter 30-60-00, Figure 208, 212 or 214. If
this distance is not within the specified limits, loosen the mounting screws and reposition them in the elongated holes until the
block is properly positioned. If necessary, shims can be added between the thrust bearing plate and the mounting bracket until
the brush block is properly located.
(11) Estimate the contact angle of the brush block in relation to the slip rings. If this angle is not approximately 2 degrees, (on
McCauley they are to be parallel) as indicated in Chapter 30-60-00, Figure 208 or 214, loosen the mounting bolts and reposition
the brush block until the proper angle exist between the brush block and slip rings. It should be noted that the spacing
established in Step j. must also be maintained after the proper angle is established.
Warning: Before moving the propeller, make certain that the ignition switch is off and that the engine has cooled
completely. There is always some danger of a cylinder firing when a propeller is moved.
Caution: While following the instructions of Step l., move the propeller back and forth to prevent arcing between the
brushes and slip ring.
(12) With the deicer system operating and a man in the airplane observe the ammeter, visually inspect and physically flex the wiring
from the brush block to each component of the deicer system and the airplane power supply. Jumps of the ammeter needle,
other than the momentary flicker that occurs when the timer switches at 30- or 90- (McCauley only) second intervals, indicates
loose or broken wiring in the area under examination at the moment. In such instances, continue to flex the wiring in the area that
first indicated trouble while checking the continuity through the individual wires of the affected harness until the source of trouble
is located. Use the wiring diagram to trace the circuit of the deicer system.
O. Main Fuel Strainer Screens - Inspect and Clean (Every 100 Hours)
Inspect and clean the screens each 100 hours or more frequently depending on the service conditions and when operating in
localities where there is an excessive amount of dust or sand in the air.

Z. Central Air Filter - Replacement (TC-1014 and After; TE-208 and After)
A central instrument air filter (two installed on airplanes equipped with dual instrumentation) is incorporated in the instrument
plumbing lines to protect the instruments from dust and other foreign particles. This filter(s) is a sealed unit mounted on a bracket
behind the instrument panel and should be replaced every 300 hours (or less during operation in dusty or heavy smoke conditions)
or annually, whichever occurs first. Replacement is made as follows:
(1) Locate the filter(s), mounted centrally behind the control panel at the base of the panel.
(2) Remove the wing nut at the base of the filter housing and remove the filter from the bracket.
(3) Disconnect the hose at the top of the filter by removing the attach clips.
(4) Discard the old filter and install a new filter by reversing the above procedure.
AA. Pressure System In-line Filter - Inspection (TE-452 and After; TH-1 and After; TC-2003 and
After)
On airplane serials TE-452 thru TE-936 and TH-1 thru TH-372, remove both inline filters from the system and check for obstruction
by comparing the resistance to flow with a new filter. Use a dry, low-pressure air source (max. of 10 psi) to accomplish this test. If
the resistance to air flow in a filter removed from the airplane exceeds that of a new filter by more than one psi, the filter should be
replaced. On airplane serials TE-937 and After; TH-373 and After; TC-2003 and After, the filter should be replaced annually, every
300 hours of service time or sooner depending upon operating conditions. The filter must not be subjected to solvents and must be
replaced if this occurs.
AE. Heater Overhaul (TC-1 thru TC-1657; TE-1 thru TE-967, except TE-959; TH-1 thru TH-436)
The heater should be overhauled and pressure tested every 500 hours of heater operation in accordance with the Midland-Ross
Maintenance and Overhaul Manual, P/N 30C57.
AF. Heater Overhaul (TC-1658 and After; TE-959, TE-968 and After; TH-437 and After)

REPAIR OF DAMAGE
Due to the variety and degree of structural damage which may be involved, the best repair or replacement procedure must be
based on the inspection findings of the individual airplane. If the turbulent air inspection indicates that serious structural damage
has occurred, contact Hawker Beechcraft Technical Support, Hawker Beechcraft Corporation, Wichita, Kansas 67201, for
assistance.
Following a turbulent air inspection, an entry covering the extent of inspection, the damage and the repair (if applicable) must

strike has occurred. Most times, an exit location will indicate possible damage to
the components. The entry point is most often the propeller. A darkened area in
the propeller tip may be noticeable after a lightning strike. A 3- to 5-power
magnifier will show slag at the bottom of a nick in the propeller blade. If a strike is
suspected, inspect deep nicks in the blade. Damage after a lightning strike should
be corrected utilizing the procedure specified by the manufacturer.

appear as a burned hole or as a series of burned holes in metallic surfaces.
Plastic parts may be delaminated and/or deformed due to high internal pressures.
Normally two or more points will be found, the entry and the exit points. Antennas
are frequently an entry point of lightning and should be carefully inspected for
evidence of arcing, sooting or pitting.
b. From the point of entry, the strike usually spreads aft in a series of small holes
or burn marks. After the points of entry and exit are found, the structure between
these points should be carefully inspected. Attention should be given to hinges
and hinge pins for possible pitting. Cables, pulleys, bearings, bolts and all bonding
jumpers in the area should be inspected for possible damage. Antennas, electrical
and electronic equipment should be visually checked for damage and functionally
checked for operation. If the strike was near the fuel vent, all plumbing should be
carefully inspected for damage. Steel components may exhibit magnetism and
require degaussing so as not to affect compass systems.
Engine components and filter may become contaminated with volcanic ash.
If an airplane has been operated in or exposed to volcanic ashes, including ash cloud fallout, perform an ash encounter survey to
determine the level of contamination or damage and formulate a maintenance plan to maintain continued airworthiness.
Volcanic ash deposits should be completely removed from all airframe and engine surfaces, including all wing and
flight control enclosures, landing gear wheel well areas and nacelles. If the surface accumulation of ash deposits is
greater than 1/4 inch (6 mm), initial removal should be accomplished with the hand brushes or vacuum equipment.
Ash deposits which collect in close tolerance areas or moving surface hinge points may cause sticky or binding
operation. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) should be worn, when applicable, when removing volcanic ash.
Perform a clear, fresh water rinse of the airplanes exterior structure, including all wing and flight control enclosures and landing
gear wheel well areas (Refer to Airplane Finish Care in section 20-15-00 in your airplane's maintenance manual). Rinse all areas
thoroughly with water. No ash deposits should remain. Avoid spraying water directly on electrical components.
Following a clear, fresh water rinse, inspect airframe and engine cavities and low points for standing water. Remove any standing
water to prevent corrosion formation.
(1) Nose Landing Gear Shock Strut Clean off and wipe dry exposed polished surfaces.
(2) Main Landing Gear Shock Struts Clean off and wipe dry exposed polished surfaces.
(3) Instrument Air Filters Replace instrument line supply filters if volcanic ash found on filter element.
CAUTION
To avoid damaging the barometric sensor; disconnect the autopilot sensor line prior to applying reverse air
pressure to the pitot and static lines.
(4) Pitot and Static System Visually inspect the pitot and static system for ash contamination:
CAUTION
Before blowing the lines through or applying reverse air pressure to the

inputs.
• If the lines and/or drain valves are contaminated, blow the system through
with dry air until contamination is cleared.
• If lines are obstructed, apply reverse air pressure (not to exceed 20 psi) to
the ends of the pitot and static line until obstruction is cleared.
• If the pitot head is contaminated - clean. If the pitot head cannot be
sufficiently cleaned - replace.

After completing the above inspection, HBC recommends completing the lubrication requirements found in Table 202
Lubrication Schedule, in Chapter 12-20-00 in the current model appropriate Airplane Maintenance Manual.
DAMAGE REPAIR
Due to the variety and degree of structural and/or component damage which may be involved, the best repair or replacement
procedure must be based on the inspection findings of the individual airplane. If the contact with volcanic ash inspection
indicates that serious corrosive of abrasion damage has occurred, contact Hawker Beechcraft Technical Support, Hawker
Beechcraft Corporation, Wichita, KS 67201, for assistance.
