3. Structure of the Maintenance Manual

The MM has been prepared in accordance with the Air Transport Association (ATA) Specification
Number 100 for Manufacturers Technical Data.

A. Division of Subject Matter

The MM is divided into 5 major sections. Each of these sections is subdivided into chapters. A list
of effective pages and the table of contents are provided at the beginning of each MM chapter.

(1) General Ch. 05 - 12


(2) Airframe Systems Ch. 20 - 37
(3) Structures Ch. 51 - 57
(4) Propeller Ch. 61
(5) Power Plant Ch. 71 - 80

Each chapter is made distinct by a separator sheet with the chapter number and the title.

B. The Page Numbering System

(1) The page numbering system consists three-element numbers separated by dashes.

The first element of the division identify a system:


e.g. 27 Flight Controls (a chapter)

The following element designate a subsystem in the system:

e.g. 27-30 Elevator (a section)

If system consists of several subsystems, further sections are added:


e.g. 27 - 31 Elevator Trim control (a further section)

The last element permits the identification of the individual units in a system or subsystem.
However, this comes only then for carrying if the extent of description requires this.

Example:

27 - 10 - 00

Chapter/ Section/ Subject/


System Subsystem Unit
(here Flight- (here
Controls) Ailerons)

AQUILA AT01 Introduction
Aviation by Excellence AG MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(2) When the chapter/system element number is followed with zeros in the section/subsystem
and subject/unit element number (28-00-00), the information is applicable to the entire
system.
(3) When the section/subsystem element number is followed with zeros in the subject/unit
element number (28-20-00), the information is applicable to subsystem within the system.
(4) The subject/unit element number is used to identify information applicable to units within
the subsystems.

This breakdown of the chapters provides a good overview and facilitates exchange of revised
pages. Since the most of systems are relatively simple and noncomplex, the third element is
used only at more complicated systems, i.e. if it appears necessary a unit or device to treat in
greater detail.

(5) All maintenance data given in the MM is separated into specific types of information.
That facilitates work with the manual. For this purpose, page number blocks are reserved
depending on type of information.

B. Effectivity

This Maintenance Manual is "customized". It includes the following effectivity identification


system to show modification and/or configurational differences.

(1) The MM starts with a List of Effective Chapters. Each chapter is listed with the date of issue
or revision.

(2) To identify the aircraft an effectivity statement (i.e. Garmin Avionics) or a six-digit numeric
indicator is shown in the effectivity column in the table of contents if applicable.
(a) The six-digit numeric indicator begins with the last three digits of the lowest assigned
number, to indicate first effectivity, and ends with the last three digits of the highest
assigned number, to indicate last effectivity, of an unbroken sequence of assigned
numbers. A hyphen is shown between the numbers. Open ended effectivity is
indicated by "999" in the last effectivity if applicable. For example: 023-999 indicates
aircraft 023 and subsequent.

(3) Effectivity Block


The system provides further direct annotation of the applicability on pages. On pages not
applicable for all aircraft at the bottoms left-hand corner a effectivity block appears. The
effectivity identification placed in this block may be a six-digit numeric indicator (Ref. to
(2)(a)) or an effectivity statement. (Refer to Figure 01)
All information appearing on that page applies only to the aircraft noted in the effectivity
block.

NOTE: Pages with no effectivity block may be followed by pages which have effectivity
blocks and vice versa and bear identical page numbers.

C. Revisions

(1) Maintenance manual revisions, result by different reasons (regulation changes, technical
changes, typographical errors and so on), will be published regularly.

A notification about a revision contains short data to explain the respective revision and
contains:

- revised manual chapters


- reason of revision
- affected airplane serial numbers

(2) In the event of urgently necessary revisions between regular updating, temporary revisions
will be published. The relevant manual pages are yellow and are usually considered during
the next scheduled revision of the maintenance manual.

(3) Identifying Revised Material


(a) Revisions and /or additions will be identified by a vertical black line (revision bar) along
the outside of the page opposite only that portion of the printed matter that was
changed. This also applies to illustrations.

Page 06
INTRODUCTION
30.04.08
AQUILA AT01
Introduction
Aviation by Excellence AG MAINTENANCE MANUAL

(b) When technical changes cause unchanged text to appear on a different page(s), a
revision bar will be placed in the outside margin, opposite the chapter/section/subject,
page number and date of all affected pages, providing no other revision bar appears on
the page.

(4) Revision Incorporating


(a) To keep track and for ease of use, a revision affects the complete chapter. All pages of a
chapter have the same date the date of issue or revision. Therefore always, if necessary,
the complete chapter is to be removed and inserted.
(a) MM revisions contain an effectivity page. Chapters to be removed or inserted are listed
in sequence and assigned with the respective action.
In the record of revisions, in front of the MM, the accomplished revision is to be
documented as required.
(b) Temporary revisions come as single pages. Incorporate them as noted in the effectivity
page delivered with the revision. With appearance of the corresponding regular
revision of the MM, they lose its effectivity and will be removed.

D. WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, and NOTES

If maintenance operations on the airplane are practiced, general safety and maintenance rules
must be always considered.
In addition, the MM contains adjuncts to the text used to highlight or emphasize important and
critical instructions.

WARNING:

Hazard for maintenance personnel!

CAUTION:

Hazard for systems and equipment!

NOTE:

Specific information

E. Abbreviations

Where it appears reasonable, abbreviations are used. They are conforming to a recognized
standard.

WEIGHING

1. General

A. For safety and in order to achieve the performances and flying characteristics, which are designed
in the aircraft, it should be flown with the weight and center of gravity (C.G.) position within the
approved operating range.

Whenever new equipment is added or any modification work is done, which may have an effect
on the empty weight or C.G. position, an empty weight determination and a center of gravity
location is to be redefined.

2. Tools, Equipment and Material

Required in Quantity Equipment Parts No. Manufacturer

3.A. 3 Industry scales - commercially


500 kg available
(approx. 1100 lbs)
Scale capacity

3. Weighing Procedure

A. Weighing can be carried out by means of mechanical or electrical scales. The instructions of the
scale manufacturer are to be considered.

Preparation:
(1) Be certain that all items checked in the aircraft equipment list are installed in the proper
location in the aircraft.
(2) Clean and dry the aircraft, remove foreign items such as bags, rags, tools, etc.
(3) De-fuel aircraft except for unusable fuel (refer to 12-11-00).
(4) Fill engine operating fluids (oil, coolant) and brake fluid up to the maximum markings (refer
to 12-12-00, 12-14-00, 12-15-00).
(5) Move sliding seats to the most forward position.
(6) Retract flaps completely.
(7) Place all control surfaces in neutral position.

After these preparations, place scales under each wheel. Be sure that no side forces act on the
scales to avoid wrong readings.
After this level the aircraft such as described in section 08-20-00 "Leveling".

NOTE: Weigh the aircraft inside a closed building to prevent errors in the scale readings
due to wind.

Close the canopy and then weigh the aircraft. The weight shown on each scale can now be
entered into the weight data form (see Abb.201). Deduct the non-aircraft parts, if any (i. e. wheel
chocks), from each reading.

3. Torques

NOTE: When a specific torque is not provided in the maintenance instructions contained in this
Maintenance Manual, use the standard torque patterns shown in table 201.

A. A correct torque application is very important. Undertorque can result in unnecessary wear of
nuts and bolts, as well as the parts they secure. Overtorque can cause failure of a bolt or nut from
overstressing the threaded areas. Uneven or additional loads that are applied to the assembly
may result in wear or premature failure. To ensure that correct torque is applied, observe the
following:

(1) Be sure that the torque applied is for the size of the bolt shank not the wrench size.

(2) Calibrate the torque wrench at least once a year, or immediately after it has been abused or
dropped, to ensure continued accuracy.

(3) Be sure the bolt and nut threads are clean and dry, unless otherwise specified by the
manufacturer.

(4) Run the nut down to near contact with the washer or bearing surface and check the friction
drag torque required to turn the nut. Whenever possible, apply the torque to the nut and not
the bolt. This will reduce rotation of the bolt in the hole and reduce wear.

(5) Add the friction drag torque to the desired torque. This is referred to as "final torque," which
should register on the indicator or setting for a snap-over type torque wrench.

(6) Apply a smooth even pull when applying torque pressure. If chattering or a jerking motion
occurs during final torque, back off the nut and retorque.

(7) Many applications of bolts in aircraft/engines require stretch checks prior to reuse. This
requirement is due primarily to bolt stretching caused by overtorquing.

(8) When installing a castle nut, start alignment with the cotter pin hole at the minimum
recommended torque plus friction drag torque.

(9) Do not exceed the maximum torque plus the friction drag. If the hole and nut castellation do
not align, change washer or nut and try again. Exceeding the maximum recommended
torque is not recommended.

(10) When torque is applied to bolt heads or capscrews, apply the recommended torque plus
friction drag torque.

(11) If special adapters are used which will change the effective length of the torque wrench, the

FRESH AIR DISTRIBUTION - DESCRIPTION

1. General

A. Fresh air with outside temperature for ventilation and heated fresh air for heating and windshield
defrosting can reach the cabin. The amount of fresh air can be regulated.

2. Description and Operation

A. Direct Fresh Air Supply


(1) For the supply of fresh air into the cabin, two adjustable eyeball ventilators are provided.
These are located on the far left and right instrument panel.
The ram air reaches through an NACA air intake on each outer side of the cabin and a duct to
the eyeball ventilator.
(2) The amount of fresh air can be adjusted by pivot tabs inside the eyeball ventilators.

B. Supply of Heated Fresh Air


(1) Ram air flows through a shroud attached to the exhaust and a duct to the heat relief valve.
The heat relief valve is located on the firewall in the engine compartment. By means of it the
amount of heated air can be regulated. It is actuated by a control „CABIN HEAT“, located on
the center pedestal below the instrument panel, via a control cable.
Passing the firewall the hot air travels through the heated air distributor that is located in the
cabin at the firewall. The heated air will be distributed to the area of the pilot and co-pilot's
feet and to the canopy.
(2) If the „CABIN HEAT“ knob in the full forward position the heat relief valve is closed and
heated air cannot enter the cabin. If the knob is pulled out, the heat relief valve is opened.
Additional heat is available by pulling the knob out further. Maximum heat is available with
the cabin heat knob in the most rear position.
For maximum effect, the fresh air nozzles should be closed.

ALTERNATOR SYSTEM - DESCRIPTION

1. Introduction

A. The Alternator system supplies the electrical equipment of the AQUILA AT01 with electrical
power if engine is running. That represents main current source in the power supply design.

B. The alternator system consists of the following components:

- Alternator
- Alternator Circuit Breaker
- Alternator Warning Light
- Switch ALT

2. Descriptions and Operation

A. The Alternator is installed on the forward left side of the engine, to the left of the gearbox. The
engine drives it by a drive belt.
The alternator incorporates an internal voltage regulator.
The Alternator circuit breaker is installed within the circuit breaker panel on the far right side of
the instrument panel. The Alternator system is protected by it against overloading.
The red alternator warning light is located within the row of annunciator lights on the instrument
panel above the VHF Transceiver.

B. The Alternator is supplied by an excitation voltage by the battery when turning ON the switch
„ALT / BAT“.
If the engine runs, the alternator generates a three-phase current that is rectified and regulated by
the internal voltage regulator. The voltage regulator gives a 14 V D.C. voltage with an engine
speed at least of 800 R.P.M to the aircraft bus. The maximum current load conducts 40 ampere.

BATTERY SYSTEM - DESCRIPTION

1. Introduction

A. The battery system supplies the electrical equipment of the AQUILA AT01 if the alternator does
not work. It represents the auxiliary power source in supply design.

B. The battery system consists of the following components:

- Battery
- Battery relay
- Switch "BAT"
- Voltmeter
- Ammeter

2. Descriptions and Operation

A. The AQUILA AT01 has a 12-volt, 19-ampere hour, lead-acid battery, which is installed in a battery
tray on the front-right side of the firewall. It is accessible if the upper engine cowling is removed.
The battery box is vented. The vent line discharges out the bottom of the engine cowling,
preventing the build up of dangerous or explosive gasses within the engine compartment. The
battery relay is fixed above the battery at the engine mount.

B. To connect battery to the aircraft bus the „BAT“ switch, located on the lower left instrument panel,
must be placed in ON position. As a result, the battery relay is connected to ground. The other
relay terminal is permanent supplied with positive voltage by the battery. In this way the aircraft
bus bar is supplied with current via the battery relay.
An ammeter is available for monitoring power supply. The voltmeter is connected with the aircraft
bus bar. The ammeter measures by means of a shunt the charge or discharge current of the battery.
Both instruments are located on the right instrument panel in the instrument cluster.

ELECTRICAL LOAD DISTRIBUTION - DESCRIPTION

1. Introduction

A. Distribution of electrical power supplied by the alternator and/or battery is accomplished by bus
bars. The bus architecture allows power to be routed to the essential circuitry if any one of the
main power sources fails.
All essential electrical accessories in the system are protected by push pull type circuit breakers
resettable in flight. The circuit breaker panel is on the far right instrument panel. It is labeled as to
each circuit's identity. The circuit breakers have their rated values identified on the top of the
shaft.

B. For power routing throughout the aircraft, refer to wiring diagrams shown in 91-00-00.

2. Descriptions and Operation

A. The AQUILA AT01 electrical system has two main bus bars: the aircraft bus bar and the avionics
bus bar. To the aircraft bus bar, all systems are connected which are essentially for aircraft
operation. The avionics bus bar, supplies the avionics equipment with power.

B. Both, the alternator output and the battery are connected with the aircraft bus via a 50A circuit
breaker. The 50A circuit breakers are located on the right instrument panel within the circuit
breaker panel.
From the aircraft bus bar the current is distributed via circuit breakers to electrical circuits of
several systems and components, and via „AVIONICS“ switch to the avionics bus bar. From there,
it also reaches the several components of the avionics equipment via circuit breakers.
The "AVIONICS" switch allows removing of avionics equipment separately from residual electrical
system.

2. Descriptions and Operation ( Refer to Fig. 01)

A. The KANNAD 406 AF ELT is designed to transmit on three frequencies 125,5 MHz, 243 MHz and
406 MHz. The two basic emergency frequencies (121,5 and 243 MHz) are mainly used for homing
in the final stages of the rescue operations. The 406 MHz frequency is used by the COSPAS-
SARSAT satellites for precise pinpointing and identification of the aircraft in distress.
The KANNAD 406 AF ELT can be activated either automatically when a crash occurs or manually
by means of a control switch at the front panel. The incorporated g-switch activates the unit if it
detects a deceleration along the longitudinal axis greater than 4.5 feet per second.
Once activated, the transmitter operates continuously on 121,5 and 243,0 MHz. The modulation is
an audio frequency sweeping downwards from 1420 Hz to 490 Hz with a repetition rate of 3 Hz.
Simultaneously, during the first 24 hours of operation, a 112 bit digital message (identification only
in the short message configuration) is transmitted on 406,025 MHz every 50 seconds with a output
power of 5 W.

B. The KANNAD 406 AF ELT is installed on the baggage compartment floor immediately behind the
right seat back. The ELT antenna is located on top of fuselage behind the cabin.

FLAP CONTROL SYSTEM - DESCRIPTION

1. Introduction

A. This section describes that portion of the flight control system, which controls the position and
movement of the flaps. Flap control system rigging procedure is provided.
The AQUILA AT01 is equipped with electrical actuated flaps. They are operated and fixed in
desired position by an electrical flap actuator.

2. Description and Operation

A. The wing flaps system consists of a three-position selector switch which is incorporated in the
instrument panel, a LED flap position indicator near the three-position selector switch, the electric
flap actuator, located under the baggage floor, a torque tube, pushrods and the flaps on each wing.

B. The linear flap actuator drives the torque tube interconnected between the left and right flaps.
Limit switches are attached to the flap actuator. They identify flap position and surface travel, and
turn off the actuator once the desired position is achieved i.e: 17° or 35°.
The flap actuator has a slip coupling to prevent mechanical damage if a restriction occurs. In the
event of the electric flap control circuit, torque tube/actuator geometry prevents the flaps from
causing an uncontrollable flight condition.

B. For an illustration of flap control system design and function refer to Figure 1.
