MAINTENANCE MANUAL
CAUTION: Jacking of an airplane for the purpose of landing gear operation, inspection,
servicing or maintenance should be accomplished within and enclosed
building or hangar. In the interest of safety, should it become necessary
to jack the airplane in the open, wind velocity in any direction and terrain
variations, must be compensated for prior to jacking the airplane.
This chapter contains TIME-LIMITED INSPECTIONS, a TIME-LIMITED MAJOR MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULE, and a CONTINUOUS INSPECTION PROGRAM along with procedures for UNSCHEDULED
MAINTENANCE CHECKS. This program has been developed to enable the owner/operator to accomplish
inspections and maintenance on a progressive basis in accordance with 14 CFR Part 91.409 (f) (3).
The Textron Aviation Inc. approved inspection program for aircraft contained in the chapter is specifically
for the Model 1900D Airliner. Any variation to the inspection program must be approved in writing by the
FAA Flight Standards District Office (FSDO), or Airworthiness Authority. The inspection program meets
the requirement of both 14 CFR Part 91 and 14 CFR Part 135.
NOTE: A flight cycle is defined as: Engine start-up and increase to full or partial power (as required
during a normal flight), one landing gear retraction and extension and a complete shutdown.
The inspection program in this chapter is based on numbers of flight hours, cycles of operation or
calendar time. The basis for calendar-time-limited inspections is the date on the "ORIGINAL STANDARD
AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE", FAA Form No. 8100-2, which is issued with a new airplane.
Additionally, Textron Aviation Inc. recommends that operators record the number of cycles experienced
on individual components for purposes of complying with inspections based on cycle count. Hobbs meter
time or airplane log sheets can be used for determining when inspections and maintenance based on
flight hours will be due. However, the method chosen for recording flight hours should remain constant
throughout the life of the airplane.
The times in this inspection program have been established only as a guideline to give the owner/operator
a benchmark from which to begin the program. The service history or fleet experience of a particular
operation may indicate that departure from the times in this chapter would be advantageous. If, however,
changes to a previously approved program are desired, they must be submitted to the FSDO for approval.
All inspections listed in this chapter should be accomplished with reference to this Maintenance Manual
and the appropriate supplier maintenance publications. Maintenance information on most of the major
components of the airplane is contained in the Model 1900 Airliner Series Component Maintenance
Manual.
A. Inspection Program
The Model 1900D Airliner inspection program has been developed to enable an owner/operator to
accomplish inspections and maintenance on an on-going basis in accordance with 14 CFR Part 91.409
(f) (3). A complete inspection cycle is 1,200 hours or 24 months. The inspection cycle is divided into six
Detailed Inspections and each inspection cycle is done at 200 hours with each consecutive Detailed
Inspection 200 hours after the previous inspection. The Detailed Inspections provide a thorough
inspection of specific components and systems and occur at 200-hour intervals.
For newly added items, as an example; A new inspection requirement added to the second 200-hour-
Interval Detailed Inspection need not be accomplished until the next scheduled second 200-hour-
Interval Detailed Inspection, unless otherwise stated .

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
NOTE: The time periods listed in this chapter do not constitute a guarantee the item will reach
the period without malfunction as the aforementioned factors cannot be controlled by
the manufacturer.
C. Time-Limited Inspections
This subchapter lists items that are subject to a thorough inspection based on flight hours, cycles of
operation or calendar time. These TIME-LIMITED INSPECTIONS do not meet the criteria established
for more detailed and frequent inspections listed in the CONTINUOUS INSPECTION PROGRAM
subchapter. The first TIME-LIMITED INSPECTION of an item must be accomplished not later than
the period stated in this subchapter unless prior experience indicates otherwise. Discrepancies noted
and corrective action taken during these TIME-LIMITED INSPECTIONS should be recorded in the
appropriate airplane records.
Requirements added to the TIME- LIMITED INSPECTIONS, TIME-LIMITED MAJOR MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULE or the CONTINUOUS INSPECTION PROGRAM, need not be complied with immediately.
Unless otherwise directed by relevant Communique or Service Bulletin.
A new requirement added to the TIME-LIMITED INSPECTIONS need not be complied with until one
year from the date the new requirement was published, unless otherwise stated.
For example a new inspection requirement added to the second 200-hour-Interval Detailed Inspection
need not be accomplished until the next scheduled second 200-hour-Interval Detailed Inspection. A
new requirement added to the TIME-LIMITED INSPECTIONS that specifies a 12 month inspection
interval may be introduced using a reasonable phase in schedule.
D. Time-Limited Major Maintenance
The subchapter under this heading is a MAJOR MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE. This schedule
lists components of the Model 1900D Airliner which require periodic major maintenance. The
first Major Maintenance of an item must be accomplished not later than the period stated in this
subchapter unless prior experience indicates otherwise. The components listed may require
complete replacement or major repair based on numbers of flight hours, cycles of operation or
calendar time applicable to the particular component. If more frequent checks or servicing of one
or more of these components are necessary, these additional requirements will be listed in the
CONTINUOUS INSPECTION PROGRAM.
E. Continuous Inspection Program
The Textron Aviation Inc. recommended CONTINUOUS INSPECTION PROGRAM provides a
means of inspecting and maintaining the aircraft on a 50- and 200-hour basis. Routine inspections
and servicing are conducted every 50 hours of operation. A Detailed inspection of specific areas
and systems of the aircraft is conducted every 200 hours for a period of 1,200 hours. Work sheets
are provided at the end of the Routine and each Detailed Inspection to record discrepancies and
corrective actions taken. At the end of each 1,200-hour cycle the owner/operator will have performed
a complete inspection of the entire airplane. Although the times of Routine and Detailed inspections
may be altered, each item should be accomplished as stated in the CONTINUOUS INSPECTION
PROGRAM. A detailed preamble to this subchapter is included and should be read and understood
before beginning the CONTINUOUS INSPECTION PROGRAM.
F. Unscheduled Maintenance Checks - Maintenance Practices
This subchapter is assembled in table form to allow a technician to perform checks for damage after
operating the aircraft in conditions which could require unscheduled maintenance. Specific conditions,
such as lightning strikes, turbulent air penetration and hard landings etc., are included. Inspection
instructions are included for each of the conditions listed.

NOTE: Items not listed are to be repaired or replaced when necessary. If items are worn, inoperative,
inaccurate, intermittent and are not repairable through normal maintenance practices, they
must be overhauled or replaced.
A. Chapter 21 - Environmental Systems
B. Chapter 23 - Communications
I. Chapter 79 - Oil
1. General
The owner or operator is ultimately responsible for maintaining the airplane in an airworthy condition,
including compliance with all applicable Airworthiness Directives as specified in Title 14 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 39, or as specified by the directives of the national aviation authorities.
The owner or operator should select only qualified personnel to maintain the airplane, and ensure that the
airframe and power plant mechanic inspecting the airplane has access to all necessary manuals and
service information as well as to an approved inspection guide.
It is further the responsibility of the owner or operator to ensure that the airplane is inspected in conformity
with the requirements covered in 14 CFR Part(s) 91.409 (f) (3), 121.367, 125.247 or 135.419 of the Code
of Federal Regulations or as specified by the directives of the national aviation authorities. These CFR
Parts cover the requirements concerning approved airplane inspection programs. Textron Aviation
Inc. (TAI) has prepared this Continuous Inspection Program to assist the owner or operator in meeting
the foregoing responsibilities.
It is the responsibility of the owner or operator to obtain specific FAA (or national aviation authority),
approval for the continuous inspection program the owner or operator adopts.
NOTE: In addition to the inspections prescribed by this schedule, the altimeter instrument and static
system and all ATC transponders MUST be tested and inspected at 24 month intervals or
anytime the system is opened in compliance with the requirements specified in 14 CFR Part(s)
91.411 and 91.413 or as specified by the directives of the national aviation authority.
Information contained herein is applicable to all Model 1900D Airliner airplanes except where
differences are indicated by serial number effectivity.
A. Special Conditions Cautionary Notice
Extremely high-utilization airplanes and/or airplanes operated in extreme climates may need more
frequent inspections for wear, corrosion, and lubrication. Under these conditions, the items listed
in this program should be accomplished as outlined until the owner/operator can establish his own
inspection periods based on experience or another program which has had prior approval. Engine
power and performance runs should be tailored to each operation to achieve reliable, cost-effective
maintenance. Depending on the maintenance performed and components replaced, a GROUND
PERFORMANCE CHECK (Ref. Chapter 76-10-02) may be required in lieu of the normal Inspection
Run. Refer to the applicable maintenance procedures.
NOTE: The time periods in this schedule do not constitute a guarantee the item will reach the
period without malfunction as the aforementioned factors cannot be controlled by the
manufacturer.
WARNING: Genuine Textron Aviation Inc. parts are produced and inspected
under rigorous procedures to insure airworthiness and suitability
for use in Textron Aviation Inc. airplane applications. Parts
purchased from sources other than those listed, even though
outwardly identical in appearance, may not have the required
tests and inspections performed, may be different in fabrication
techniques and materials, and may be dangerous when installed
in an airplane.
The TAI recommended Continuous Inspection Program is provided to maintain the Model 1900D
Airliner airplanes that are utilized by owners and operators on a continuous basis. Should the
owner/operator elect to use the TAI recommended program, the complete program must be
accomplished at least one time every 24 calendar months.
The complete inspection program for each airplane is divided into several parts consisting of a
Routine Inspection of the airplane every 50 hours of service time and a Detailed Inspection of
a portion of the airplane every 200 hours of service time, thus providing a complete inspection
of the airplane every 1,200 hours. The 50-hour or 200-hour interval between performance of
the procedures here must not be exceeded by more than 10%. Any extension of either the 50-
hour or 200-hour interval must be subtracted from the following 50-hour or 200-hour interval as
appropriate, with no time extension permitted. This method will provide greater availability of the
airplane during normal operating hours without sacrificing the quality desired during maintenance
and inspection periods.
(2) Definitions
The terminology pertaining to the inspection procedures and their use as explained in this manual
are in accordance with Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 1, 43 and 91, issued by the Federal
Aviation Administration. These terms are defined as follows:
Continuous Inspection - A continuous inspection is a continuing airworthiness inspection of
an airplane and its various components and systems at scheduled intervals in accordance with
procedures prescribed by the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration.
Detailed Inspection - Detailed inspection consists of a thorough examination of the appliances,
the airplane and components and systems with such disassembly as necessary.
Flight Time - Flight time shall mean the total time from the moment the airplane first moves
under its own power for the purpose of flight until the moment it comes to rest at the next point
of landing (Block-to-block time).
Maintenance - Means inspection, overhaul, repair, preservations, and the replacement of parts,
but excludes preventive maintenance.
Pilot in Command - Pilot in command shall mean the pilot responsible for the operation and
safety of the airplane during the time defined as flight time.
Preventive Maintenance - Means simple or minor preservative operations and the replacement
of small standard parts not involving complex assembly operations.
Routine Inspection - Routine inspection consists of visual examination or check of the
appliances, the airplane and its components and systems insofar as is practicable without
disassembly.
Time in Service - Time in service, as used in computing maintenance and inspection time
records, is the time from the moment the airplane leaves the ground until it touches the ground
at the end of the flight.
(3) Forms and Records
The forms and records used with the Continuous Inspection Program consist of a Routine
Inspection form, six separate 200-Hour Interval Detailed Inspection forms, Continuous
Inspection Work Sheets and In-Flight Work Sheets.
Routine Inspection Work Sheet - This Work Sheet lists the airplane components which are to
be checked at each 50-flight-hour interval of service time. At each 200-Hour Interval Inspection,
this form will be completed in addition to the 200-Hour Interval Detailed Inspection form.
200-Hour-Interval Detailed Inspection Form - Six separate and individual 200-Hour Interval
Detailed Inspection forms are used with the Continuous Inspection Program. Each form covers
only one portion of the airplane and is designated as 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th 200-Hour
Interval Detailed Inspections. Completion of the 6th of the 200-Hour Interval Detailed Inspection
will provide a complete airworthiness inspection of the airplane.
Continuous Inspection Work Sheet - This form is used in conjunction with each of the
inspection forms to provide a list of all discrepancies which are found during the inspection and
their corrective action.
In-Flight Work Sheet - Copies of this Work Sheet are to be kept in the airplane and will be used
by the pilot in command to list any discrepancy which occurs during a flight. When the flight is
completed, this form will then be forwarded to the Maintenance Shop for proper disposition.
If the Continuous Inspection Program is discontinued, written notification must be sent to the
local FAA Flight Standards district office or as specified by the national aviation authority.
C. Inspection Procedures
(1) Routine Inspections (50-Hour Intervals)
A Routine Inspection of the airplane shall be conducted each 50 hours of time the airplane is
in service. This inspection consists mainly of a visual inspection of the major components of
the airplane so that the general condition of the engine and propeller can be checked. This
inspection may be conducted by persons qualified to do preventative maintenance. Refer to
Chapter 5-20-01 for complete instructions for conducting routine inspection.
(2) Detailed Inspections (200-Hour Intervals)
Six separate Individual Detailed Inspections of the airplane are required to accomplish one
complete inspection. Only a portion of the airplane's components or systems are inspected
at each 200-hour interval, thus accomplishing a complete inspection of the airplane once every
1,200 hours of time in service. Items requiring attention at periods of less than 1,200 hours are
duplicated on the appropriate Detailed Inspection form. These inspections are to be conducted
by a properly qualified mechanic or someone under their supervision. Complete instructions for
conducting the 1st through 6th Detailed Inspections are contained in Chapters 5-20-02, 5-20-03,
5-20-04, 5-20-05, 5-20-06 and 5-20-07.
D. Discrepancies
Discrepancies found on the airplane during an inspection will be listed on the Continuous Inspection
Work Sheet. Two lines are provided on the work sheet for each item. The discrepancy will be entered
on the top line of the entry space, and the corrective action which is taken will be noted on the bottom
line. If more than one line is required to state the discrepancy, as many entry spaces as are necessary
may be used. The same method should be used for corrective action explanations which require more
than one line, except the bottom lines of the extra spaces will be used. Each separate entry on the
sheet will be numbered in the ITEM block 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. As many work sheets as necessary will be
used to list all discrepancies with the entry numbers in the ITEM block continuing in sequence on each
of the additional pages. All discrepancies listed must be corrected before the work sheet is routed to
the airplane file.
Discrepancies that affect the airworthiness of the airplane will require the necessary corrective action
to be accomplished before the airplane is returned to service.
Discrepancies that do not affect the airworthiness of the airplane may, at the discretion of the
maintenance crew chief, be carried over to the next inspection period. All discrepancies thus carried
over will be retained in the Shop File until corrected, and will also be reflected on the Shop Status
and Scheduling Board.
Discrepancies which occur during a flight will be entered on the In-Flight Work Sheet by the pilot in
command or other responsible person. At the end of the flight this work sheet is then submitted to the
responsible person in the Transportation Maintenance Department or local equivalent.
E. Away-From-Station Requirements
Away-From-Station Inspection. If the airplane is to be away from the home location at the time an
inspection is due, the pilot in command of the flight will take with him all forms which will be required
for the inspection and a copy of this manual. The detailed inspection will be conducted or supervised
by one of the following:
1. A certified airframe repair station.
2. An appropriately rated certified mechanic with inspection authorization.
The results of the inspection will be noted on the proper forms which are then brought back to the home
location. The pilot will be responsible for all inspection forms and work sheet entries with inspectors
and/or mechanics signature and identification.
Away-From-Station Discrepancies. Discrepancies affecting the airworthiness of the airplane, when
the airplane is away from the local station, will be corrected by one of the following:
1. A certificated airframe repair station.
2. An appropriately rated certified mechanic.
The discrepancy and the corrective action taken is to be listed on the In-Flight Work Sheet. The
pilot will be responsible for all work sheet entries with mechanic's and/or inspector's signature and
identification.

NOTE: A hard landing is any landing made by an airplane with a vertical decent rate greater than 600
ft/min (feet per minute) when the airplanes gross weight is less than or equal to the Maximum
Landing Weight (MLW). Closely related to a hard landing is an overweight landing, which is
defined as landing the airplane with a vertical decent rate greater than 360 ft/min (feet per
minute) when the airplanes gross weight is greater than MLW but less than Maximum Take-Off
Weight (MTOW). An overweight landing is also any landing when the airplane gross weight is
greater than MTOW.
As it is difficult to accurately determine vertical descent velocity, the following inspections, checks
and tests must be performed whenever a hard or overweight landing has been reported
or suspected. It is not possible to define specific details of the inspection procedure to be
performed after every incident due to the wide variations in weight, speed, nature, and
direction of loads that can be encountered. It is therefore recommended that before starting
the inspection the pilot is consulted for information regarding the landing conditions .
Ascertain, for example:
1. Whether the landing was straight, drifting, wing low, nose or tail heavy.
2. If any noise indicative of structural damage was heard.
3. The weight of the airplane and the fuel.
This inspection should be carried out after a hard landing and before the airplane is certified as
ready for further flight. The inspections are conducted at two levels. The first level consists of
determining if any external damage has occurred and looking for evidence of internal structural
failure. The second level is concerned with a more detailed inspection of any damaged areas
which were indicated in the findings of the first level inspection. If it is determined by the first
level inspection that there is no damage to the airplane, it is not necessary to proceed to
the second level inspection.
WARNING: Even though wrinkles in the wing or fuselage skin surface may be slight
enough to be considered as negligible, a close inspection of the internal
supporting structure may reveal serious damage.
A. First Level
B. Second Level
NOTE: Because shock loading may be transmitted along one structural member to another,
carefully inspect the surrounding and supporting structure in any damaged area found in
the first level inspection.
NOTE: This inspection should be carried out after the airplane has been subjected to high G loading
while flying through extreme or severe turbulent air and before the airplane is returned to
service. The inspection is conducted on two levels. The first level consists of determining if
any external damage has occurred and looking for evidence of internal structural failure. The
second level is concerned with a more detailed inspection of damaged areas which were
indicated in the findings of the first level inspection. If it is determined by the first inspection that
there is no damage to the airplane, it is not necessary to proceed to the second level inspection.
Extreme - Airplane is violently tossed about and is practically impossible to control. May cause
structural damage.
Severe - Airplane may be momentarily out of control. Occupants are thrown violently against the
belts and back into the seat. Unsecured objects are tossed about.
WARNING: Even though wrinkles in the wing or fuselage skin surface may be slight
enough to be considered as negligible, a close inspection of the internal
supporting structure may reveal serious damage.
A. First Level
B. Second Level
NOTE: Because G loading may be transmitted along one structural member to another, carefully
inspect the surrounding and supporting structure in any damaged area found in the
first level inspection.
CAUTION: After a sudden stoppage the engine's governor, autofeathering valve or pump
must not be returned to service, they must be overhauled or replaced.
NOTE: This inspection should be carried out after the landing gear doors have been deployed at an
airspeed above the critical deployment speed and before the airplane is returned to service.
The inspection will be conducted on two levels. The first level consists of determining if any
external damage has occurred and looking for evidence of internal structural failure. The
second level is concerned with a more detailed inspection of damaged areas which were
indicated in the findings of the first level inspection. If it is determined by the first level of
inspection that there is no damage to the landing gear door and surrounding structure, it is not
necessary to proceed to the second level inspection.
WARNING: Even though wrinkles in the skin surfaces may be considered slight
enough to be considered as negligible, a close inspection of the internal
supporting structure may reveal serious damage. Determine that the
surfaces are in their normal configuration when stowed or deployed.
A. First Level
B. Second Level
NOTE: Since loads may be transmitted along one structural member to another, carefully inspect

11. Inspection After Flight in Airspace with a Low Contamination of Volcanic Ash
NOTE: Refer to Textron Aviation Inc. Model 1900 Airliner Series Model Communique No. 94.
Textron Aviation Inc. does not recommend airplanes operate in areas of volcanic emissions.
However, if operated in low ash concentrations, limit the amount of time spent in the
environment and perform a visual inspection to include (but not limited to) the following areas
for signs of abrasion or ash contamination during pre/post-flight walk around (reference
appropriate Flight Manual):
NOTE: If you have additional questions or need further support, please contact your Regional Field
Representative or Textron Aviation Inc. Technical Support at 1-800-429-5372 or 316-676-3140.
Engine manufacturers have issued guidance for operations in areas where volcanic ash may be
present. Textron Aviation Inc. recommends contacting applicable engine manufacturers for specific
instructions/recommendations.
If the airplane is located in an area where volcanic ash may settle, hangar the airplane when possible. If
the airplane must be parked outside, ensure that all protective covers are installed. It should be noted that
volcanic ash is acidic and can cause corrosion damage unless properly removed. If volcanic ash has
collected on airplane surfaces or been deposited in structural cavities or low points, Textron Aviation Inc.
recommends removal of loose ash using low pressure compressed air or vacuum equipment followed by
a thorough clear, fresh water rinse of the structure making sure to remove any pooling or standing water.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) should be worn, when applicable, when removing volcanic ash.

1. General
To facilitate the location of various assemblies, components, areas and structural members of the airplane,
reference points are measured in inches along three axes (Ref. Figure 1). When a specific component,
assembly or structure is located in this manual by reference points it can be easily found by measuring
from known points on the airplane. The station diagrams shown in Figures 2, 3, 4 and Figure 5, illustrate
the position of these points on the airplane. The following reference points are used in this manual:
CENTERLINE (CL): A vertical plane dividing the airplane, nacelles, and engines in half longitudinally.
FUSELAGE STATION (FS): A length measurement along a perpendicular to the centerline of the airplane.
Fuselage Station 0.00 is located 14.20 inches forward of the nose radome.
WATERLINE (WL): A vertical measurement from a horizontal plane located below the bottom of the
fuselage. Waterline 0.00 is located 75.00 inches below the fuselage bottom.
BUTTOCK LINE (BL): A width measurement left or right of and parallel to the centerline. Right or Left
is added to indicate the direction from the centerline (LBL or RBL). Buttock Line 0.00 is the centerline
of the airplane.
HORIZONTAL STABILIZER STATION (HSS): A width measurement left or right of and parallel to the
centerline of the horizontal stabilizer. Stabilizer station 0.00 is the centerline of the horizontal stabilizer.
See Figure 5 for the relation of HSS 0.00 to BL 0.00.
CANTED STABILIZER STATION (CSS): A line perpendicular to the rear spar at the intersection of the
same numerical value on the VSS (Ref. Figure 6).
CANTED FUSELAGE STATION (CFS): A lofted line located at an angle to the fuselage station. The
canted fuselage station location is determined by the fuselage station located at the intersection of the
canted station and WL 131.94.
WING STATION (WS): A width measurement left or right of and parallel to the centerline of the airplane.
Wing station 0.00 is on BL 0.00 at WL 78.25. The wing stations are perpendicular to the wing reference
plane (WRP) which inclines outboard at 6° from the horizontal plane at WS 0.00.
VERTICAL STABILIZER STATION (VSS): A vertical measurement parallel with the waterline (WL) (Ref.
Figure 6).
RUDDER STATION (RS): A line perpendicular to the rudder hinge line.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. General
In order to simplify the location of airplane components, aid in maintenance planning and provide a simple
way of identifying access doors and panels, the airplane has been divided into easily identifiable areas
referred to as zones (Ref Figure 1, Figure 2, and Figure 3).
These zones follow a logical arrangement with boundaries generally defined by major structural
components of the airplane, i.e. bulkheads, wing spars, ribs, major partitions, cabin floorboards, control
surface boundaries, etc.
Zone identification is provided by a three-digit number that adheres to a standardized major zone
description. The numbering sequence within these major zones will, in most instances, conform to the
following order: front to back, left to right (within the fuselage), bottom to top and inboard to outboard
(pertaining to the wing). In some instances, the zone number will be enclosed within parentheses ( ). The
parentheses indicate that the zone is on the right side of the fuselage, wing, nacelle or the stabilizer.
Zone Description
100 Lower Half of Fuselage (radome, side nose avionics
compartments, compartments under the lower
nose shelf, area below the flight compartment floor,
cabin floor and cabin seat decks to the aft pressure
bulkhead).
200 Upper Half of Fuselage (compartments above the
lower nose shelf, area above the flight compartment
floor, cabin floor and cabin seat decks to the
aft pressure bulkhead including the baggage
compartment).

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. General
Various panels are located throughout the airplane to allow entry into enclosed areas for maintenance
and servicing purposes. These consist of access panels, floorboard panels, service doors and fairings.
Figures 1 through 8 locate the panels and list the components and areas accessible through each panel.
Each access panel is located and indexed with an identifying number. When the identifying number is
enclosed in parentheses (), the panel is on the right side of the fuselage, wing, nacelle or the stabilizer.
The identifying number is composed of two parts: a three-digit airplane zone number designating the
smallest zone in which the panel is located and a one to three letter suffix (Ref. 6-40-00). The first letter,
the primary identifier, in the suffix identifies the panels in sequence, i.e., inboard to outboard, front to rear,
bottom to top, starting with "A" within each zone. The second and third letter, the locator, locates the
panels in relation to the airplane, i.e., top, bottom, left, right, etc. Panels on the boundary between two
airplane zones are identified by the zone from which they are removed. Areas such as the landing
gear wheel wells, wing leading edges, nose radome, etc. are identified by the zone number only since
each of these areas is a zone in itself. For removal and installation of the individual panels, refer to the
appropriate Chapter (28, 52, 53, 55 and/or 57).
NOTE: Items marked with an asterisk (*) are present when the FA2100 Flight Data Recorder is
installed on the aircraft. Refer to the MODEL 1900D AIRLINER FLIGHT DATA RECORDER
(FA2100) MAINTENANCE MANUAL SUPPLEMENT, P/N 129-590000-109 for information on
these items if the FA2100 Flight Data Recorder is installed.

1. General
CAUTION: Jacking of an airplane for the purpose of landing gear operation, inspection,
servicing or maintenance should be accomplished within an enclosed
building or hangar. In the interest of safety, should it become necessary
to jack the airplane in the open, wind velocity in any direction and terrain
variations must be compensated for prior to jacking the airplane. Rapid
depletion of the standby battery will occur if the EFIS switches are selected
ON when the airplane is on jacks.
NOTE: It is recommended to disconnect the standby EFIS battery prior to maintenance requiring the
airplane to be put on jacks.
A. Hoisting
The airplane may be hoisted for maintenance or parts replacement. An overhead crane capable of
20 feet of vertical lift is required to lift the aircraft four feet from the ground, allowing for one foot of
vertical stretch in the nylon webbing.
NOTE: If it is necessary to hoist the airplane with one or both engines removed, use a sling
under the tail of the airplane.
A hoisting sling assembly (129-390001-1) is available from Textron Aviation Inc. This sling assembly
is designed to lift a 10,000 pound airplane, the approximate empty weight of the Model 1900D Airliner
(Ref. Figure 1).
B. Jacking
Each of the three jacks used to lift the airplane should have a lifting capacity of at least 10,000 pounds.

to jack the airplane in the open, wind velocity in any direction and terrain
variations must be compensated for prior to jacking the airplane.
A. Three-Point Jacking (Preferred Procedure)
NOTE: Each of the three jacks used to lift the airplane should have a lifting capacity of at least
10,000 pounds.
CAUTION: Position airplane on a flat, hard, oil free surface prior to any jacking
operations.Do not attempt any jacking operations outdoors during
strong, gusty winds. If the airplane must be lifted outdoors, always face
the airplane into the wind.Ensure area is clear of obstacles that could
damage the airplane during raising operations.
NOTE: If tail stand is installed, remove tail stand during jacking operations.
(1) Position a tripod jack (3) at the nose of the airplane directly under each jack pad with two of the
jack legs (4) perpendicular to the fuselage (Ref. Figure 201).
(2) Position a tripod jack (3) at each wing of the airplane directly under each jack pad with two of
the jack legs (4) parallel to the fuselage (Ref. Figure 202).
(3) Extend jack extension (1) of each jack to contact securely with its associated jack pad (Ref.
Figures 201 and 202).
WARNING: Ensure that the landing gear is in the fully down and locked
position. Failure to do so may result in injury to personnel and
damage to the airplane.
CAUTION: Ensure area is clear of obstacles that could damage the airplane during
lowering operations.Keep the jack follower nut within two inches of the
jack shoulder at all times during three-point jacking and lowering.Never
lower just one side of the airplane at a wing jack point. Imbalance could
cause the airplane to topple from the jack.
(1) Ensure that the landing gear is in the fully down and locked position.
(2) Wipe down the extended surface of each landing gear strut using a shop rag dampened with
hydraulic fluid.
CAUTION: Keep the jack follower nut within two inches of the jack shoulder at
all times during three-point jacking and lowering.
(4) Operate jacks to loosen the jack follower nuts (2), then slowly release pressure from the jack
pump cylinder (6) to lower the airplane slowly to the ground (Ref. Figures 201 and 202).
CAUTION: Ensure that all jacks are fully retracted and that the airplane has
settled prior to jack removal. Damage to the airplane may occur.
(5) Remove the jacks (3) from under the airplane.
C. Nose Jacking
CAUTION: Position airplane on a flat, hard, oil free surface prior to nose jacking
operations.Do not attempt nose jacking operations outdoors if the wind
velocity will exceed 30 knots. If the airplane must be lifted outdoors,
always face the airplane into the wind.Ensure area is clear of obstacles

contact with the ground (Ref. Figure 203).
CAUTION: Ensure area is clear of obstacles that could damage the airplane during
lowering operations.Ensure that the nose landing gear is in the fully
down and locked position. Failure to do so may result in injury to
personnel and damage to the airplane.Keep the jack follower nut within
two inches of the jack shoulder at all times during nose jacking and
lowering.
(1) Ensure that the nose landing gear is in the fully down and locked position.
(2) Wipe down the extended surface of the nose landing gear strut using a shop rag dampened with
hydraulic fluid.
(3) Ensure that the airplane weight is off the tail stand (2), then remove the tail stand (2) (Ref. Figure
203).
(4) Operate nose jack to loosen the jack follower nut (2), then slowly release pressure from the jack
pump cylinder (6) to lower the airplane slowly to the ground (Ref. Figure 201).
(5) Remove the jack (3) from under the airplane.
E. Single-Point Jacking (For Wheel, Tire and Brake Maintenance Only)
WARNING: This procedure is intended for wheel and brake maintenance only.
Never perform any other landing gear maintenance procedures
using the Single-Point Jacking Procedure.Never jack the airplane
in an unsheltered area where winds in excess of 35 knots will be
encountered.
NOTE: Any jack used to lift the airplane should have a lifting capacity of at least 10,000 pounds.
CAUTION: Position airplane on a flat, hard, oil free surface prior to any jacking
operations.Do not attempt any jacking operations outdoors during
strong, gusty winds. If the airplane must be lifted outdoors, always face
the airplane into the wind.Ensure area is clear of obstacles that could
damage the airplane during raising operations.
NOTE: If tail stand is installed, remove tail stand during jacking operations.
(1) Place airplane chocks forward and aft of the landing gear wheels that are not being jacked.
NOTE: In ice or snow conditions, ice-grip wheel chocks are preferred. Sandbags may be
used if ice-grip chocks are not available, or if the airplane is parked on a steel mat.
(2) Position a tripod jack (3) at the wing of the airplane directly under the jack pad with two of the
jack legs (4) parallel to the fuselage (Ref. Figure 202).
(3) Extend jack extension (1) of the jack to contact securely with its associated jack pad.

(3) Remove the jack (3) from under the airplane.
(4) Remove the strut limiter from the landing gear strut.
1. Procedures
NOTE: If it is necessary to hoist the airplane with one or both engines removed, use a sling
under the tail of the airplane.
A hoisting sling assembly (129-390001-1) is available from Textron Aviation Inc. This sling assembly
is designed to lift a 10,000 pound airplane, the approximate empty weight of the 1900D Airliner (Ref.
Figure 201).
(1) Remove all baggage and loose equipment.
(2) Remove all fuel if possible.
(3) Place the forward strap at Fuselage Station 184.25 and the aft strap at Fuselage Station 392.25.
(4) Attach the sling to the overhead crane at a position corresponding to Fuselage Station 284.00.
This lift point represents the airplane center of gravity on a standard airplane with 700 pounds of
fuel. Additional fuel will move the lift point aft. The lift point moves forward to Fuselage Station
283.00 with zero fuel.
NOTE: Guy ropes between the wing tip and lift point may be required to offset any
imbalanced weight in the wings.
(5) Gently take up slack in the hoist and lift the airplane.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. Procedures
A. Weighing the Airplane
Periodic weighing of the airplane may be required to keep the Basic Empty Weight current. Frequency
of weighing is to be determined by the operator. All changes to the airplane affecting the weighing
and/or balance are the responsibility of the airplane operator. A worksheet to record the weight and
balance data has been provided (Ref. Figure 201). A Dimensional Data illustration has been provided
(Ref. Figure 202).
(1) The airplane may be weighed on wheels or jack points. Three jack points are provided. One is
on the nose section of the fuselage at station 83.5 and the two main support points are on the
wing center section rear spar at station 326.1. Wheel reaction locations should be measured as
described in paragraph (6) below.
(2) Fuel should be drained preparatory to weighing. Fuel is drained from the drain ports with the
airplane in static ground attitude. After tanks are drained, 14.6 pounds of trapped fuel remains in
the airplane at fuselage station 278.6. The remainder of the unusable fuel (drainable unusable)
is 69.7 pounds at station 304.6 and must be added to a drained system to obtain the aircraft
Basic Empty Weight configuration.
(3) Engine oil must be at the full level in each tank. Total engine oil aboard when both tanks are full
is 57.5 pounds at an arm of 249.3 inches.
(4) To determine airplane configuration at time of weighing, installed equipment is checked against
the airplane equipment list or superseding forms. All equipment must be in its proper place
during weighing.
(5) The airplane must be supported on the scales in a level attitude. Leveling reference points are
located on the forward entrance door frame. Leveling is accomplished with a plumb bob or
optical methods. Jack pad weighing may require the nose gear shock to be secured in the static
position to prevent its extension. Leveling for wheel weighing may be accomplished by varying
the amounts of air in the shocks and tires.
(6) Measurement of the reaction arms for a wheel weighing is made using the nose reference point
(FS 95.89). Using a steel measuring tape, measure the distance (with the airplane level on the
scales) from the reference (a plumb bob hung from the center of the reference point) to the axle
center line of the nose gear and then from the later point to the main wheel axle center line. The
main wheel axle center line is best located by stretching a string parallel to the fuselage center
line. The locations of the wheel reactions will be approximately at an arm of 315 inches from
main wheels and 30 inches for the nose wheel.
(7) The Basic Empty Weight and Moment must include full oil and unusable fuel as well as a full
charge for any other fluid system in the airplane (e.g. hydraulic or oxygen). The appropriate
weights and moments must be added on the weighing form if any of these items are not in the
airplane as weighed. (Ref. Steps (2) & (3)). Items weighed which are not part of the empty
airplane are subtracted, e.g. usable fuel.
(8) Weighing should always be made in an enclosed area which is free from air currents. The scales
used should be properly calibrated and certified in accordance with the Bureau of Standards.
NOTE: Each new airplane is delivered with a basic empty weight and center of gravity, and
equipment list, all pertinent to that specific airplane. It is the owner's responsibility to
ensure that changes in equipment are reflected in a new weight and balance and
in an addendum to the equipment list. There are many ways of doing this; it is
suggested that a running tally of equipment changes and their effect on basic empty
weight and CG is a suitable means for meeting both requirements.
It is recommended that duplicate copies of the Basic Empty Weight and Balance sheet
and the Equipment List be made and kept in an alternate location in the event the
original handbook is misplaced.
1. Procedures
A. Leveling the Airplane
The airplane can be leveled by using a precision level, a plumb bob and plumb bob support assembly
(1, Table 1, 08-00-00). The plumb bob support assembly attaches to the upper fuselage skin just aft
of the cabin door frame. A Phillips-head screw in the fuselage skin (located immediately aft of the
lower end of the cabin door) marks the plumb bob target. Figure 201 shows the plumb bob support
attachment and target screw positions.
(1) Raise the airplane on tripod jacks according to the instructions given in Chapter 7-10-00,
JACKING-MAINTENANCE PRACTICES.
(2) Place a precision level on the aft baggage compartment floorboard parallel to the wings. Raise
or lower the jack under one of the wings until the airplane is laterally level.
(3) Remove the 10-32 set screw from the upper attachment position in the fuselage skin.
(4) Insert the plumb bob support assembly into the hole that the set screw was removed from and
tighten the plum bob support assembly finger tight.
(5) Adjust the cord length through the plumb bob support assembly until the plumb bob hangs below
the fuselage. Secure the cord with the thumbscrew on the support assembly.
(6) Raise or lower the jack under the nose as required to align the plumb bob cord with the centerline
of the target screw. This will level the airplane longitudinally.
NOTE: Suspending the plumb bob in a can of engine oil will dampen its movement.
(7) Remove the plumb bob support assembly from the fuselage and install the 10-32 set screw in
the upper attachment position. Remove the level from the baggage compartment floorboards.

1. Procedures
A. Towing
With the tow bar connected to the towing lugs on the upper torque knee fitting of the nose strut, the
airplane can be steered with the nose wheel when moving it by hand or with a tug. Although steering
is automatic when the airplane is being towed by the nose strut, someone should ride in the pilot's
seat to operate the brakes in the event of an emergency. Do not tow the airplane with rudder locks
installed, except on airplanes equipped with power steering, as severe damage to the steering linkage
can result. When using a tug, observe turn limits marked on the nose gear strut to prevent damage
to nose gear. When spotting the airplane, do not push on the propeller or control surfaces.
CAUTION: Never exceed the turning limits marked on the nose gear strut during
ground handling (Ref. Figure 201). The nose gear steering stop lugs
are designed to withstand the loads normally imposed through steering
from the cockpit, not to prevent turn limitations from being exceeded
during towing. It is possible to overcome the stop during ground handling
and damage the steering linkage and nose strut. If the steering stop
limitations are exceeded inspect the nose gear steering stop lugs for
cracks, bending or distortion (Ref. Chapter 05-50-00, INSPECTION IN
THE EVENT OF A BENT NOSE STEERING STOP).
CAUTION: Never tow or taxi with a deflated strut. Even brief towing or taxiing with
a deflated strut may cause severe damage.

1. Procedures
A. Parking
Set the brakes by depressing the pilot's brake pedals and pulling out the parking brake control handle.
Do not attempt to lock the parking brake by applying force to the parking brake handle. It controls a
valve only and cannot apply pressure to the brake system. To release the brakes, depress the brake
pedals and push the parking brake control handle in.
CAUTION: Do not set the parking brake during low temperatures when the
accumulation of moisture may cause the brakes to freeze, or when they
are hot from severe use.
B. Control Locks
WARNING: The flight control gust locks provided by Textron Aviation Inc.
for its products are in compliance with federal regulations to
provide an unmistakable warning to the pilot when the lock is
engaged.When necessary or desirable to use flight control gust
locks, use only the flight control gust lock assembly specified
by Textron Aviation Inc. for that particular airplane.When a flight
control gust lock assembly is used, the lock must be correctly and
fully installed, including the rudder pedal lock and throttle control
lock.
The control lock (1, Table 1, 10-00-00) consists of a U-shaped clamp and two pins connected by a
chain. The pins lock the primary flight controls and the U-shaped clamp fits around the engine power
control levers and serves to warn the pilot not to start the engines with the control locks installed. It
is important that the locks be installed or removed together to prevent the possibility of an attempt to
taxi or fly the airplane with the power levers released and the pins still installed in the flight controls.
Perform the Control Lock Installation Procedure (Ref. Chapter 27-70-00).
WARNING: Before staring the engines, remove the control locks.Remove the
control locks before towing the airplane. If towed while the rudder
lock is installed, serious damage to the steering linkage can result.
C. Landing Gear Downlocks
Landing gear downlocks (2 and 3, Table 1, 10-00-00) are provided to manually lock the main landing
gear and the nose landing gear in the down position while the airplane is on the ground. The downlocks
should be installed for safety reasons to prevent inadvertent retraction of the landing gear while the
airplane is parked. The nose gear downlock (3, Table 1, 10-00-00) is a channel that is installed over
the nose gear hydraulic actuator rod and secured with a safety pin. The main gear downlocks (2,
Table 1, 10-00-00) are installed on the forward side of the main gear drag brace and secured in place
with a safety pin installed through the lower hole of the upper drag brace and the downlock.
D. Engine Cold Weather Precautions
Frozen precipitation may be blown into the exhaust stacks if windy conditions exist and particularly if
the airplane is parked downwind without covers installed. Ice ingestion, coupled with residual engine
heat following engine shutdown, may allow water to seep by gravity flow into the compressor section
and refreeze as the engine cools down and becomes cold soaked in subfreezing temperatures.
In cold weather conditions, park the airplane into the wind if possible and install exhaust stack covers.
CAUTION: If turbine wheel ice is suspected, monitor N1 closely during engine start.
If no N1 spool-up occurs, abort the start in order to avoid overtemp of the
starter/generator.
1. Procedures
A. Storage
The following procedures are designed to protect the airplane while it is scheduled to be inactive for
periods of time as outlined below. These procedures should be considered the minimum necessary to
protect the airplane. Each operator should take whatever additional steps to protect the airplane they
consider necessary. These procedures are not intended to be accomplished on airplanes that are
not flown because of extensive maintenance activities or for reasons other than scheduled periods of
inactivity.
B. Engine Preservation
Aircraft in flyable storage should have their engines run at least once per week. Refer to Pratt &
Whitney Maintenance Manual P/N 3041195, Chapter 72-00, Preservation Procedures, for detailed
instructions.

Ground Points
Figure 201 (Sheet 1)
1. Procedures
A. Mooring
Three mooring eyes are provided, one on each outer main wing spar and one on the rear fuselage
between the ventral fins. To moor the airplane, chock the wheels fore and aft, install the control
lock (1, Table 1, 10-00-00) and tail stand assembly (9, Table 1, 10-00-00). Tie the airplane down at
all three mooring eye points and the landing gear torque knees on the nose and main gear. Avoid
overtightening the rear line and pulling the nose of the airplane up so far that wind will create lift on
the wings. If extreme weather is anticipated, it is advisable to nose the airplane into the wind. When
mooring the airplane, install the engine inlet and exhaust covers, pitot tube covers, air conditioning
intake scoop plug, propeller restraints, and the optional nose and main landing gear shock strut
limiters. (4,5,6,7,10 and 11, Table 1, 10-00-00).
B. Mooring For High Winds
CAUTION: High winds can cause structural damage to the airplane. therefore, if
time permits, park the airplane inside a hangar. if at all possible, move
the airplane to a safe weather area when winds above 75 knots are
expected
(1) Separate the airplane from all others by a distance slightly greater than the wing span, with the
nose mooring eye three to five feet downwind from the ground anchor.
(2) Position the airplane with its nose into the expected wind, or as nearly so as possible within
the limits determined by the fixed locations of the ground tiedown rings. If necessary, up to a
45-degree difference in direction is satisfactory.
(3) Center the nose wheel.
(4) Deflate the nose gear shock strut to within 3/4 inch of the fully deflated position and install the
tail stand assembly (9, Table 1, 10-00-00) in order to lower the nose and reduce the angle of
attack of the wings.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to tow or taxi the airplane once the nose gear shock
strut is deflated.
(5) If time permits, fill all fuel tanks to capacity.
(6) Install the nose and main gear landing gear shock strut limiters (10 and 11, Table 1, 10-00-00).
(7) Chock the wheels fore and aft with the proper size and type of wheel chock. Tie each pair
of chocks together with rope or join wooden chocks together with wooden cleats nailed to the
chocks.
NOTE: In ice or snow conditions, ice-grip wheel chocks are preferred. Sandbags may be
used if ice-grip chocks are not available, or if the airplane is parked on a steel mat.
(8) Tie the airplane down at all three mooring eyes and all three landing gear as shown in Figure
201, using aircraft cables 1/4 inch in diameter with two wire rope clips or bolts, or using chain
tested for a 3000-pound pull. Do not use rope. Remove all slack from the mooring lines.
(9) Place the trim tab controls in the neutral position. Place the wing flaps in the UP position.
(10) Install the gust control locks (1, Table 1, 10-00-00) as instructed in CONTROL LOCKS (Ref.
10-10-00).
(11) Perform BATTERY DISCONNECTION procedure (Ref. Chapter 24-31-00).
(12) If extremely high winds are expected, mooring security can be further increased by placing
sandbags along the wings to break up the aerodynamic flow of air over the wing, thereby
reducing the lift generated by the wing. Place the sandbags on the spar cap, distributed so that
the weight does not exceed 20 pounds per inch.
(13) After the high winds have passed, inspect the airplane for visible signs of structural damage and
for evidence of damage from flying objects. Service the nose gear shock strut and connect the
battery.

MODEL 1900D AIRLINER
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. Procedures
Servicing procedures included in this Chapter pertain to systems and components using fluids or gases
that can be replenished, such as the engine oil system, oxygen system, fuel system, and the hydraulic
system.
2. Fuel System
A. Water and Foreign Material Contamination
All hydrocarbon fuels contain some dissolved and some suspended water. The quantity of water
contained in the fuel depends on temperature and the type of fuel. Kerosene, with its higher aromatic
content, tends to absorb and suspend more water than aviation gasoline. Along with the water, it
will suspend rust, lint and other foreign materials longer. Given sufficient time, these suspended
contaminants will settle to the bottom of the tank. However, the settling time for kerosene is five times
that of aviation gasoline. Due to this fact, jet fuels require good fuel handling practices to assure
that the 1900D Airliner is serviced with clean fuel. If recommended ground procedures are carefully
followed, solid contaminants will settle and free water can be reduced to 30 parts per million (ppm), a
value that is currently accepted by the major airlines.
Since most suspended matter can be removed from the fuel by sufficient settling time and proper
filtration, it is not a major problem. Dissolved water has been found to be the major fuel contamination
problem. Its effects are multiplied in airplanes operating primarily in humid regions and warm climates.
Dissolved water cannot be filtered from the fuel by a micronic type filter, but can be released by
lowering the fuel temperature, such as will occur in flight. For example, a kerosene fuel may contain
65 ppm (8 ounces per 1000 gallons) of dissolved water at 80°F. When the fuel temperature is lowered
to 15°F, only about 25 ppm will remain in solution. The difference of 40 ppm will have been released
as super-cooled water droplets which need only a piece of solid contaminant or an impact shock to
convert them to ice crystals. Tests indicate that these water droplets will not settle during flight and are
pumped freely through the system. If they become ice crystals in the tank, they will not settle since the
specific gravity of ice is approximately equal to that of kerosene. 40 ppm of suspended water seems
like a very small quantity, but when added to suspended water in the fuel at the time of delivery, it is
sufficient to ice a filter. While the critical fuel temperature range is from 0 to -20°F, which produces
severe system icing, water droplets can freeze at any temperature below 32°F.
Water in jet fuel also creates an environment favorable to the growth of a microbiological sludge in
the settlement areas of the fuel tanks. This sludge, plus other contaminants in the fuel, can cause
corrosion of metal parts in the fuel system as well as clogging the fuel filters. Even though the
1900D Airliner utilizes the latest corrosion-resistant materials and techniques, the possibility of filter
clogging and corrosive attacks on various fuel system components may occur if contaminated fuels
are introduced.
Since fuel temperature and settling time affect total water content and foreign matter suspension,
contamination can be minimized by keeping equipment clean, using adequate filtration equipment
and careful water-drainage procedures, storing the fuel in the coolest areas possible, and allowing
adequate settling time. Underground storage is recommended for fuels. Filtering the fuel each time
it is transferred will minimize the quantity of suspended contaminants carried by the fuel.
B. Fuel Contamination Control
The primary means of fuel contamination control by the owner/operator is good housekeeping. This
applies not only to fuel supply, but to keeping the airplane system clean. The following is a list of
Steps that may be taken to recognize and prevent contamination problems.
(1) Know your supplier. It is impractical to assume that fuel free from contaminants will always be
available, but it is feasible to exercise precaution and be watchful for signs of fuel contamination.
(2) Assure, as much as possible, that the fuel obtained has been properly stored, that it is filtered
as it is pumped to the truck, and again as it is pumped from the truck to the airplane.
(3) Perform filter inspections to determine if sludge is present.
(4) Maintain good housekeeping by periodically flushing the fuel tankage system. The frequency of
flushing will be determined by the climate and the presence of sludge.
(5) Use only clean fuel servicing equipment.
(6) After refueling, allow a three hour settling period whenever possible, then drain a small amount
of fuel from each water drain valve to check for the presence of water (Ref. Figure 201).
C. Fuel-Handling Safety Information
Fuel handling and maintenance on or near the fuel system when flammable fuel vapors are present
must be performed as cautiously as possible to prevent a fire or an explosion. The following safety
information must be complied with when handling fuel or during maintenance of the airplane fuel
system.
WARNING: Before fueling, the aircraft must be bonded to the fuel source to
equalize static electricity between the fuel source and the aircraft.
Grounding of the aircraft and/or fuel truck is not recommended
because it does not prevent sparks at the fuel source, and the
grounding cable may not be sufficient to discharge the electrical
current.
WARNING: Do not drain fuel tanks near the end of the working day and
allow them to stand empty overnight. It could make conducive
conditions for producing explosive vapors. If the system is not
completely empty, residual fuel drains down the sides of the
tank and forms puddles. During the night, fuel from the puddles
evaporates into the air in the tank and a critical fuel-air ratio
develops. An explosion could be set off by a spark. Avoid such a
lapse of time between draining and purging of the fuel tanks.
WARNING: Ensure that the area is well ventilated before draining fuel.
WARNING: Place the battery and generator switches in the OFF position.
Disconnect all electrical power from the airplane before fueling.
WARNING: If the fuel contacts the eyes, rinse with cool, fresh water and seek
medical attention immediately. Avoid allowing fuel to contact the
skin. When contact cannot be avoided, wash with mild soap and
water.
WARNING: Visually inspect all connections and hoses for leaks. If any leaks
are indicated or develop, discontinue servicing.
CAUTION: The use of aviation gasoline shall be limited to 150 hours operation
during each Time Between Overhaul (TBO) period.
The use of gasoline as a jet fuel should be minimized wherever possible due to adverse effects to the
hot section parts and the corrosion of turbine vanes.
NOTE: Jet A - Aviation Kerosene Type fuel with -40°F (-40°C) Freeze Point.
Jet A-1 - Aviation Kerosene Type Fuel with -58°F (-50°C) Freeze Point.
Jet B - A low grade kerosene type fuel with a freeze point of -60°F (-51°C), similar to
MIL-T-5624 grade JP-4, which has a freeze point of -76°F (-60°C)
CAUTION: Do not allow any fuel to come into contact with the deicer boot.
(3) The filler caps for the auxiliary tanks are located inboard of the nacelles and aft of the main
spars. The main tank filler caps are located on the leading edges near the wing tips. To remove
the fuel filler caps, raise the handle and turn it counterclockwise to unlock the cap. Lift the cap
and remove it from the filler neck.
CAUTION: Do not rest the fuel nozzle in the filler neck of the tank.
(4) Place the fuel nozzle in the filler neck so the flapper is open. Hold the nozzle with the hands
while filling the tank.
CAUTION: Do not fly the airplane with fuel in the auxiliary tanks only, even for
flights of short duration.
(5) Fill the main tanks first, then the auxiliary tanks. Refer to Table 202 for capacities.
(6) When filling is complete, place the fuel filler cap in the filler neck with the arrow pointing forward.
Press down and turn the handle clockwise to lock the cap in place.
(7) If possible, allow the fuel to settle for three hours and then drain a small amount of fuel from
each of the sump drain valves to check for water contamination.
F. Draining the Fuel System
WARNING: The fuel handling safety information under the heading FUEL
HANDLING SAFETY INFORMATION in this Chapter must be
complied with.
The fuel drain valve for the main tank is located immediately outboard of the lower nacelle structure
in the wing skin forward of the boost pump. The fuel drain valve for the auxiliary tank is located under
the auxiliary pump access cover. Each tank may be drained through its respective fuel drain valve, or
the auxiliary tank fuel may be pumped into the main tank and all fuel drained through the main tank
fuel drain valves (Ref. Figure 201).
(1) Before beginning the defueling operation, statically ground the airplane structure to the defueling
container and to the ramp. If the auxiliary tank is being drained, remove the pump access cover
512BB or 612BB (Ref. Chapter 6-50-00, WING ACCESS PANELS - LOWER SURFACE).
(2) Position an approved container large enough to hold the fuel that is to be drained under the drain
valve, and open the filler cap on the tank being drained.
(3) Remove the plug from the fuel drain valve and screw an AN815-12 or an AN832-12 union with
a drain line (1, Table 1, 12-00-00) into the drain valve. Screwing the union into the drain valve
will open the check valve; thus, the drain line should be in the catch container before the union
is screwed into the drain valve.
(4) When fuel stops flowing from the fuel drain valve, open the sump drain valves to drain the residual
fuel. Open the sump drain valves with a fuel sump drain wrench (2, Table 1, 12-00-00) or with a
screw driver by pushing up. Rotate the valve one half turn to lock it open.
(5) After fuel has drained to desired level ensure fuel drain valves and sump drain valves are properly
closed. Install plug on fuel drain valve (removed in Step 3) and safety wire.
(6) After refueling the affected tank ensure the fuel drain valves and sump drain valves (opened in
Steps (3) and (4)) do not leak.
G. Draining the Fuel System (Alternate Method)
WARNING: The fuel handling safety information under the heading FUEL
HANDLING SAFETY INFORMATION in this Chapter must be
complied with.
CAUTION: Do not fly the airplane with fuel in the auxiliary tanks only, even for flights
of short duration.
(1) Position an approved defueling container large enough to accommodate the amount of fuel to
be removed from the airplane and statically ground the fuel container to the ramp.
(2) Before beginning the defueling operation, statically ground the airplane structure to the defueling
container and to the ramp (Ref. Figure 201).
(3) Remove the lower accessory panel 414L and/or 424R panel as required (Ref. Chapter 6-50-00,
NACELLE/COWLING ACCESS PANELS).
(4) Place the BATT switch to the ON position and pull the applicable FIRE PULL handle to close the
firewall shutoff valve.
(5) Place the BATT switch to the OFF position.
(6) Disconnect firewall fuel hose (2) at engine driven fuel pump (1) and connect a drain line to the
firewall fuel hose. Cap the engine driven fuel pump fitting to prevent contamination (Ref. Figure
202).
(7) Perform the APPLYING GROUND POWER procedure (Ref. Chapter 24-40-00).
(8) Push in the applicable FIRE PULL handle to open the firewall shutoff valve.
NOTE: This procedure will also drain the auxiliary fuel tank by placing the AUX PUMP
switch in the AUTO position. If desired, fuel may be left in the auxiliary fuel tank
by placing the AUX PUMP switch to the OFF position.
WARNING: Do not allow the standby boost pump to run without fuel
flowing for more than three minutes.
(10) To prevent overheating of the standby boost pump, visually confirm fuel is flowing into the fuel
container.
(11) When the fuel flow begins to slow, place the applicable (LEFT or RIGHT) STANDBY PUMP
toggle switch, located on the fuel control panel on the LH sidewall, to the OFF position.
NOTE: The opposite wing may be defueled without relocating the equipment by using the
fuel cross transfer system, although the rate of flow will be much slower.
It would be much faster to move the equipment to the opposite wing and repeat the
entire procedure.
(12) If no further defueling is required proceed to Step (13). If the opposite wing is to be defueled
using the cross transfer system, perform the following Steps:
(a) Position the TRANSFER FLOW toggle switch, located on the fuel control panel, toward the
wing with the defueling equipment connected.
WARNING: Do not allow the standby boost pump to run without fuel
flowing for more than three minutes.
(b) To prevent overheating of the standby boost pump, visually confirm fuel is flowing into the
fuel container.
(c) When the fuel flow begins to slow, place the TRANSFER FLOW toggle switch to the OFF
position.
(13) Pull the applicable FIRE PULL handle to close the firewall shutoff valve.
(14) Disconnect the drain line from the firewall fuel hose (2) (Ref. Figure 202).
(15) Remove the cap from the engine driven fuel pump (1) and connect the firewall fuel hose (2).
(16) Install the lower accessory panel 414L and/or 424R panel as required (Ref. Chapter 6-50-00,
NACELLE/COWLING ACCESS PANELS).
(17) Push in the applicable FIRE PULL handle to open the firewall shutoff valve.
(18) Perform the REMOVING GROUND POWER procedure (Ref. Chapter 24-40-00).
(19) Use the sump drain valves to remove remaining fuel.
H. Water Draining
Prior to flight, the fuel system should be drained of water. Allow as much time as possible before
draining to permit the water to settle and collect at the sump drain valves. All sump drain valves are
in the wing and nacelle skins (Ref. Figure 201). Open the valve with a fuel sump drain wrench (2,
Table 1, 12-00-00) or with a screwdriver. Push up on the center of the valve. To lock the valve open,
turn the valve a half turn.
Access to the collector tank fuel filter is through access door 531BB (631BB) next to the outboard
side of the nacelle and forward of the main spar. Refer to the Chapter 6-50-00 WING ACCESS
PANELS - LOWER SURFACE illustration in the AIRPLANE ACCESS PANELS - DESCRIPTION AND
OPERATION section. To open, push up and turn the valve handle counterclockwise with the slotted
end of the fuel sump drain wrench (2, Table 1, 12-00-00).
I. Fuel Additives
All JP-4 jet fuel produced in the U.S.A. is required to contain anti-icing additive conforming to MIL-
I-27686 or MIL-I-85470 (19, Table 2, 12-00-00) in concentrations of 0.10 to 0.15 volume percent.
However, all other fuels, including airplane kerosene, contain no additives.
Condensation of water in the fuel tanks increases the possibility of microbiological contamination of
the fuel, which can damage skins, coatings and sealants in the fuel tanks. The biocidal agent (3, Table
2, 12-00-00) contains biocidal and anti-fungicidal agents. Use of these additives in the fuel tanks will
reduce the possibility of contamination of the fuel and clogging of fuel filters and lines.
These anti-icing additives and biocidal agents may be used separately or together in the fuel system
with no detrimental effect on fuel system components.
J. Anti-Icing Additive, MIL-I-27686 or MIL-I-85470
MIL-I-27686 or MIL-I-85470 Jet Fuel Anti-Icing Additive (19, Table 2, 12-00-00) is an anti-icing agent.
It should be noted that anti-icing additive does not alter the freeze point of the fuel; however, when
dissolved water separates from the fuel during a drop in temperature, the additive quickly separates
from the fuel to preferentially dissolve in the water, thereby depressing the freezing point of the water
to prevent the formation of ice in the fuel. The additive must be precisely blended into the fuel by
a metering device that permits injection of the agent into a flowing stream of fuel to ensure even
dispersal. Fuel distributors may tank or batch blend, or it may be preferred to blend at the airplane
when fueling. If the tanker truck is not equipped with a HI FLO Prist blender (Model PHF-204), it
may be necessary to carry the anti-icing and the blending device in the airplane. When blending the
anti-icing agent with fuel, the concentration of additive should not be less than 20 fluid ounces per 156
gallons of fuel or more than 20 fluid ounces per 104 gallons of fuel. When adding previously blended
fuel, the additive concentration should not be less than 0.10 percent by volume or more than 0.15
percent by volume. This additive should be used on a continuous basis.
What biocidal/antifungal properties do MIL-I-27686 OR MIL-I-85470 fuel additives have?
Fuel additives conforming to MIL-I-27686 OR MIL-I-85470 do not have any specific referenced biocidal
requirements. Prior to the mid 90's MIL-I-27686, or ethylene glycol monomethyl (EGMME) was used.
Some manufacturers (namely Prist) were able to market the anti-ice compound as microbiostat (not
microbiocide, - stat means it controls or retards growth, - cide means it kills microbes) because they
had their product certified as a pesticide. In the mid 90's, the industry transferred from the use of
MIL-I-27686 to MIL-I-85470 diethylene glycol monomethyl ether (DEGMME). It is widely believed that
DEGMME does have a retarding effect on microbial growth, but is not officially claimed by additive
manufacturers. If any fungal or microbial growth is found in the fuel system, a biocidal agent should
be used.
K. Biocidal Agent
CAUTION: Drain water prior to refueling with biocidal agent. Excessive water
concentrations in contact with excessive biocidal agent concentrations
can result in formation of solid crystalline products in a fuel system.
Biocidal agent (3, Table 2, 12-00-00) is not an anti-icing agent and is intended to be used specifically
as a fuel biocide. The compound is an extremely efficient biocidal agent and is soluble in fuel as well as
water. The biocidal agent disperses throughout the entire fuel system to even the most remote areas
soon after introduction into the system. The compound is used as a periodic preventive treatment in
concentrations of 135 parts per million (ppm) when the airplane has been operated in an environment
conducive to fungal or microbial contamination, or when such contamination is evidenced by dirty
sump drains, clogged filters, odor, or visual evidence in the tanks, etc.
CAUTION: Kathon FP 1.5 is approved for the initial shock of fuel tanks. Do not use
Kathon FP 1.5 for preventative treatment.
NOTE: Kathon FP 1.5 Suggested use is once every six months as a shock treatment.
Operating the airplane with a biocidal dosage at less than the recommended concentration
may create and environment conducive to fungal and microbial contamination.
Biobor JF in concentrations not to exceed 270 ppm, or Kathon FP 1.5 in a concentration of 100 ppm
may be used as a single dose shock treatment to clean out and sterilize a very contaminated system.
Any system that is contaminated should be treated at the concentration level for the appropriate
biocide used. When sterility is achieved, the Biobor JF at the 135 ppm level may be used. Parked
airplanes require only one treatment until fuel is burned off or replaced. The biocidal agent is not
volatile and may remain in the tank until the fuel is used.
The preferred method of introducing biocidal agents into the fuel is by injection through a metering
device. If no metering device is available, blending may be accomplished by batch blending or by
over-the-wing blending while filling the tanks. When half of the required quantity of fuel has been
added, gradually introduce the compound directly into the stream of fuel while adding the other half
of the fuel. Complete mixing is necessary, depending upon the severity of the contamination.
Biobor JF or Kathon FP 1.5 must be used at a high enough concentration to kill, not just control the
infestation. The mixture must be able to contact the entire surface of the fuel tank interior and remain
in contact a minimum of 36 to 72 hours for Biobor JF or 12 to 72 hours for Kathon FP 1.5 to affect
the kill. The longer the time the biocide remains the better the biocide will work. During the soak time
the airplane should not be moved or the engines run. Refer to Table 204 or Table 205 for fuel ratios
for specified concentrations as an aid in blending. Tank surfaces, gages, filters and linings should be
inspected or replaced as necessary, depending upon the severity of the contamination. Be sure to
account for residual fuel in the tanks so that proper dosage is maintained.
NOTE: To estimate the fluid ounces of Biobor JF required to give a concentration of 270 ppm,
multiply pounds of fuel by 0.004. For 135 ppm multiply pounds of fluid by 0.002.
Density of Jet Fuel: 1 gallon weighs 6.714 pounds.

3. Oil System
The engines are serviced with a synthetic lubricating oil specified in Pratt & Whitney Canada Service
Bulletin No. 14001. Service Bulletin No. 14001 states that oil brands must not be mixed. When switching
to another approved brand, drain and flush the entire oil system.
Servicing the engine oil system primarily involves maintaining the engine oil at the proper level. The
engine oil tank is provided with a filler neck and a quantity dipstick and cap located at the 11 o'clock
position on the accessory gear case. The dipstick is marked in U.S. quarts and indicates the amount
required to fill the tank. Access to the oil dipstick cap is gained by opening the small access door, 412BTC
(422BTC) in the upper aft cowling (Ref. Chapter 6-50-00, NACELLE/COWLING ACCESS PANELS).
CAUTION: Do not mix different brands of oil when adding oil between oil changes.
Different brands of oil may be incompatible due to the difference in their
chemical structure.
The total oil tank capacity is 2.5 gallons (10 quarts). An additional 4.4 quarts of oil is required to fill the
lines and cooler, giving a total system capacity of 14.4 quarts; however, because of the oil trapped in the
system, no more than 13 quarts should be added during an oil change.
A. Check
Check the oil level as follows: any time the oil has been changed or the engine has remained stationary
for more than 12 hours:
(1) Run the engine at idle for two minutes.
(2) Shut down the engine and check the oil level.
4. Tires
CAUTION: Tires that have picked up a fuel or oil film should be washed down as soon
as possible with a detergent solution to prevent contamination of the rubber.
Table 206. Tire pressure
Main Landing Gear Tires Main Landing Gear Tires Nose Landing Gear Tires
(Loaded) (On Jacks)
97 +5/ -0 psi 93 +5/ -0 psi 60 +5/ -0 psi
Tire pressure should be checked on a regular basis. The intervals may be determined by individual
experience utilizing operating schedules and servicing requirements.
Maintaining the proper tire inflation pressure shown in Table 206 will help to avoid damage from landing
shock and contact with sharp stones and ruts, and will minimize tread wear. When inflating the tires,
inspect them for cuts, cracks, breaks and tread wear. The pressure of a serviceable tire that is fully
inflated should not drop more than 4% over a 24 hour period. For the most accurate reading, tire pressure
should be checked when the tires are cool; consequently, wait at least two hours (three hours in hot
weather) after a flight before checking tire pressure.
5. Hydraulic System
Servicing the landing gear hydraulic system consists of maintaining the correct fluid level. A fill can,
located just inboard of the left nacelle and forward of the main spar under access door 511CT contains
a cap and dipstick assembly marked FILL WARM - COLD (Ref. Chapter 6-50-00 WING ACCESS
PANELS - TOP SURFACE). Prior to removing the fill can lid, the knob on the manual bleed valve must be
depressed to relieve air pressure in the power pack reservoir. Add MIL-H-5606 hydraulic fluid (8, Table 2,
12-00-00) as required to fill the system. Approximately 2 3/4 gallons of hydraulic fluid is required to fill
a completely empty system.
NOTE: When filling the hydraulic system, the air being displaced by the hydraulic fluid will need to be
relieved out the manual bleed valve. Occasionally depress the button on the manual bleed
valve to relieve this air pressure and to allow the system to fill faster. This action will also allow
the dipstick reading to more accurately indicate the amount of fluid in the system.
6. Brake System
Brake system servicing is limited primarily to maintaining the hydraulic fluid level in the reservoir mounted
in the upper left corner of the aft bulkhead of the nose avionics compartment. When no fluid is visible in
the reservoir sight glass, add a sufficient quantity of hydraulic fluid (8, Table 2, 12-00-00) to raise the fluid
level to the lower edge of the filler neck. Approximately one gallon of fluid is required to fill a completely
empty system if power steering is installed. If power steering is not installed, approximately 1/2 gallon of
fluid is required to fill a completely empty system.
Check the quantity of oil contained in the see-through oil sump and add oil as required to maintain a full
sump. The manufacturer's recommendation for lubricating oil to be used in the air cycle machine is Exxon
2389; however, any oil conforming to MIL-L-7808 (revision G or later) (27, Table 2, 12-00-00) may be
used. Approximately 1/2 pint of fluid is required to fill a completely empty air cycle machine (Ref. Chapter
21-51-00, AIR CYCLE MACHINE SERVICING).
WARNING: When filling the oxygen system, use only MIL-O-27210 Aviator's
Breathing Oxygen (31, Table 2, 12-00-00). Do not use oxygen intended
for medical purposes, or industrial purposes such as welding. Such
oxygen may contain excessive moisture that could freeze in the
valves and lines of the oxygen system.Avoid making sparks and keep
all burning cigarettes or fire away from the vicinity of the airplane.
Make sure that the oxygen shutoff valve control (placarded OXYGEN
PULL ON) located on the pilot's left subpanel is in the OFF position.
Inspect the filler connection for cleanliness before attaching it to the
filler valve. Make sure that your hands, tools, and clothing are clean,
particularly of grease or oil, for these contaminants may ignite upon
contact with pure oxygen under pressure. As a further precaution
against fire, open and close all oxygen valves slowly.
To prevent overheating, fill the oxygen system slowly by adjusting the recharging rate with the pressure
regulating valve on the cart. At a temperature of 70°F, the two 77.9 cubic foot (2205 liters) cylinders
should be filled to 1,850 psig. This pressure may be increased an additional 3.5 psig for each degree of
increase in temperature; conversely, for each degree of drop in temperature, reduce the pressure for the
cylinder(s) by 3.5 psig (Ref. Table 207). If at any time, in the process of servicing and purging the system
or replacing the oxygen cylinders, it becomes necessary to disconnect a fitting, the threads of the fitting
should be wrapped with MIL-T-27730 anti-seize tape (36, Table 2, 12-00-00) prior to being connected
back into the system. Refer to Chapter 35 for maintenance practices.
NOTE: Refer to Advisory Circular 43.13-1A for the additional servicing precautions recommended by
the FAA on the oxygen systems. For additional information, refer to Chapter 35.

(2) Locate the waste drain valve access door 281AB (Ref. Chapter 6-50-00, FUSELAGE ACCESS
PANELS), for ground servicing, on the bottom of the aft fuselage (FS 456) just to the right of the
center of the airplane.
(3) Open the access door (1) and examine the ground servicing panel for leaks (Ref. Figure 203).
(4) Release the waste-drain-valve cap handle (3) and open the waste-drain-valve cap (4).
(5) Connect the dump connector (7, Table 1, 12-00-00) for the lavatory service unit (5, Table 1,
12-00-00) to the waste-drain-valve opening.
(6) Release the rinse/fill valve handle (7) and open the rinse/fill valve (6).
(7) Connect the fill connector (6, Table 1, 12-00-00) for the lavatory service unit to the rinse/fill
connector on the ground servicing panel.
(8) Push the inner door handle (5) to open the waste-drain-valve inner door.
(9) Pull and lock open the inner-drain-valve operating handle (2).
(10) When the toilet is empty, rinse as follows:
(a) While the inner-drain-valve operating handle (2) is locked open, supply water from the fill
tank on the lavatory service unit.
(b) After adequate water has circulated through the system, stop the flow of water, then release
the inner-drain-valve operating handle (2).
(11) Disconnect the dump connector from the waste drain opening.

(4) Push the flush button to circulate the antifreeze throughout the system.
(5) Place the FURN switch in the OFF position.
(6) Perform the REMOVING GROUND POWER procedure (Ref. Chapter 24-40-00).
D. Electrical Toilet Cleaning
NOTE: For sanitary reasons, wear elbow length rubber gloves for any work requiring
contact with tank fluids or parts within the tank area.
(1) Disconnect the terminal to the timer and separate the motor wires at the quick-disconnect. Use
the hand holds on the tank when removing the toilet from the airplane.
(2) Holding the drain over a commode, rotate the three fasteners securing the pump and motor
assembly to the top of the tank a quarter turn each.
(3) Lift the subassembly straight up with the bail, approximately four inches, to free the plug from
the drain until the contents of the tank have drained into the commode.
(4) Attach a hose to the short extension protruding from the pump and force water into the tank to
reverse flush the filter and loosen the entrapped material for discharge through the drain.
(5) Seat the plug back in the drain.
(6) Rinse the tank interior with water under 50 to 75 psi of pressure to force a flow through the flush
ring and the bowl.
(7) Open the drain when the tank is full.
(8) Check the tank interior for cleanliness through the opening for the pump and motor assembly. If
necessary, repeat the rinse until the tank interior is clean.
(9) Remove the drain hose and install the pump and motor assembly. Rotate the three fasteners a
quarter turn each.
(10) Connect the terminal to the timer and connect the motor quick-disconnect wires.
(11) Charge the tank with 1.5 gallons of water mixed with toilet cleaner (43, Table 2, 12-00-00) in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
NOTE: The short extension from the pump has two closures, a screw-in plug for the female
hose fitting and an integrally molded check valve to prevent leakage when the unit is
in operation. Always replace the screw-in plug after the rinse and charge procedure.
In extremely low temperature areas it will be necessary to add a nonflammable
automobile-type antifreeze to the water/chemical mixture in the tank. A ratio of
water to antifreeze comparable to that for an automobile should be used, based
upon the lowest temperature to be met in cold weather operation.
1. Procedures
This Chapter is supplemented by Chapter 20-10-01 of the 1900 Airliner Series Corrosion Control Manual.
CAUTION: Never wash an engine while it is running or hot. After the engine has been
shut down, allow it to cool for at least one hour prior to washing. Electrical
components and plugs on the engine and in the engine compartment should
be covered/protected during the engine wash. Use dry shop air to dry all
components after washing. Do not allow water into the engine air inlet or the
exhaust. Do not direct high pressure water or solvent directly into mechanical
parts having air vent holes, such as the fuel control units.
A. Salt Water Contamination
If the exterior surface of the engine is contaminated with salt, it should be washed thoroughly with
water prior to the next flight of the airplane. Demineralized water is not required for this purpose. At
no time should an engine be left in a contaminated (salted) condition for any extended period of time,
such as overnight.
B. Fire Extinguisher Agent Contamination
In the event of engine contamination by fire extinguishing agents, refer to the latest revision of PT6A-
67D Engine Maintenance Manual P/N 3038336 or subsequent (Ref. Chapter 72-00-00, ENGINE,
TURBO PROP INSPECTION).
(4) Stubborn oil or soot deposits on cowlings, wheel wells, etc. may be removed gently with
automotive tar removers.
B. Cleaning After Curing Period
(1) Wash the airplane regularly. Use mild detergents and water only. Rinsing thoroughly with clear
water prevents detergent residue buildup that can dull the paint appearance.
(2) Normally, waxing is not necessary; however if waxing is desired, select a high quality automotive
or airplane waxing product. Never use rubbing compounds or abrasive cleaners of any type.
C. Environmental Fallout (Acid Rain)
In certain areas of the country where chemicals may be present in the atmosphere, it is best to avoid
outside storage when damp conditions exist. Acids which remain in standing water can stain the paint
topcoat and cause permanent damage to the finish. Flush off residual moisture with clean tap water
and dry the surface. At this time, waxing the surface can provide protection from acid rain damage.
D. Waxing Airplane Finishes
A good coat of wax will protect the airplane finish from the sun's rays and protect the surface against
oxidation. Use a high quality automotive or airplane wax. Do not use a wax containing silicone
because silicone materials are difficult to remove.
E. Surface Deicer Boots
The surfaces of the deicer boots should be checked for indications of engine oil after servicing and
at the end of each flight. Any oil spots that are found should be removed with a nondetergent soap
and water solution. Care should be taken when cleaning to avoid scrubbing the boots because the
conductive coating (A56B) must not be removed from the boot surface. The boots are made of soft,
flexible stock that can be damaged if gasoline hoses are dragged over the surface of the boots or if
ladders or platforms are rested against them.
F. Landing Gear
The landing gear (nose and main) should be washed with low pressure water and mild detergent as
soon as is practical following operation on salty or muddy runways. Using low pressure air, blow off
all water before flight or storage of the airplane.
G. Placard Replacement
Ensure all placards are in place and legible whenever the airplane has been repainted or touched up
after repairs. Replace any placards that have been defaced after such repainting or repairs.
H. Plastic Windows
The plastic windows should be kept clean and waxed at all times. To prevent scratches and crazing,
wash the windows carefully with plenty of soap and running water.
CAUTION: When washing the windshield, do not use water from a bucket or pail.
Sand, dirt particles or other debris may collect in the standing water and
cause scratches in the plastic.
Use the palm of the hand to feel and dislodge dirt and mud. A soft cloth, chamois or sponge may
be used only for the purpose of carrying water to the surface of the window. After washing, rinse the
window thoroughly with running water and dry it with a clean, moist chamois. Do not rub the plastic
window with a dry cloth, because this will cause an electrostatic charge which attracts dust.
Remove oil and grease with a cloth moistened with kerosene (20, Table 2, 12-00-00), aliphatic naptha
(2, Table 2, 12-00-00) or hexane (18, Table 2, 12-00-00), then rinse the window with clear water.
NOTE: It is essential that the windshield wipers be thoroughly cleaned. Operating the
wipers when they are dirty is a common source of scratches on the windshield. Do
not attempt to polish out such nicks or scratches in the glass surface.
The most effective method of cleaning upholstery is directly dependent on the type of upholstery
involved. For instance, a fabric type of upholstery that has been flame-proofed should never be treated
by the application of cleaners with a water base. The reason for this is that the flame retardant on the
fabric is water soluble and will be diluted to a point where the fire-resistant quality is rendered useless.
Also, the natural capillary action of the water in the fabric will cause the salts of the flame-retardant
chemicals to rise to the surface resulting in unsightly faded spots.
NOTE: Clean wool and wool blended upholstery fabrics by dry cleaning ONLY. After 5 dry
cleanings, have the upholstery treated with a fire retardant at a service company or spray
the fabric with a fire retardant (6, Table 2, 12-00-00) or equivalent.
Clean the fabric upholstery manually as follows:
(1) Remove the upholstery from the airplane.
(2) Use a stiff-bristled brush and brush the upholstery along the weave. (A nylon-bristled fingernail
brush can be used).
(3) Vacuum the entire surface to remove any salt residue or dirt stains.
(4) Apply dry cleaning solvent (35, Table 2, 12-00-00) sparingly on a lint-free cloth and clean stains
as required.
(5) Allow the upholstery to completely dry.
(6) Treat the upholstery with a fire retardant (6, Table 2, 12-00-00).
(7) Install the upholstery.
Clean leather upholstery with a nonabrasive, chemically neutral, nonreactive, emulsion-type
cleaner such as saddle soap. Apply it over the dirty surface using a sponge or soft cloth (use
a gentle, wiping motion; do not scrub). Do not allow the cleaner to dry on the material surface.
Wipe the cleaner off before it drys. Treat leather after cleaning with wax or a leather conditioner.
B. Interior Cabin Trim
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the plastic interior trim, never use MPK, naptha,
mufti, stoddard solvent, gasoline, lacquer thinner, or other types of paint
cleaners as cleaning agents.
Using soap and water, wash the plastic interior trim. Scrubbing with a brush and detergent soap will
usually provide adequate cleansing; however, alcohol may be used to remove contaminants that are
soluble in alcohol.
5. Lubrication
A. Sealed Bearings
Sealed bearings are prepacked with grease and do not require periodic lubrication. Sealed bearings
must be replaced when normal airplane inspection procedures indicate that the bearing will no longer
operate satisfactorily. The lubrication of sealed bearings must not be attempted unless facilities are
available for removing and replacing seals. When sealed bearings are cleaned and lubricated, the
work must be done in strict compliance with applicable bearing maintenance directives.
B. Wheel Bearing Lubrication
G. Lubrication Schedule
Lubrication illustrations are organized with related items requiring lubrication grouped together
(Ref. Figures 202 thru 211). Each lubrication point is identified and indexed for location on the
accompanying illustration. Lubrication time intervals were established to occur only at times
coincident with the detailed inspection intervals specified (Ref. Chapter 05-20-00).
NOTE: It is allowable to substitute Aeroshell 17 for Aeroshell 7, except as stated in the lubrication
schedule.
CAUTION: Do not use Aeroshell 17 on the engine cam plate and pins or the
propeller hub.

1. Information
A. Deicing and Anti-Icing of Airplanes on the Ground
(1) Deicing is the removal of ice, frost and snow from the airplane's exterior after it has formed.
Anti-Icing is a means of keeping the surface clear of subsequent accumulations of ice, snow
and frost.
(2) Snow and ice on an airplane will seriously affect its performance. Even formation of a smooth
covering of ice on the wing will change the contour of the wing, producing an increase in drag
and a reduction in effective lift coefficient. Frost or frozen snow may present an even greater
hazard since the surface texture is rough and will seriously disrupt the smooth flow of air across
the wing.
B. Deicing and Anti-Icing Fluids
(1) Textron Aviation Inc. has evaluated and approved the following deice/anti-ice fluids for use on
this model:
(a) SAE Type I Anti-Icing Fluids (Unthickened-Type Fluids) Type I fluids (7, Table 2, 12-00-00)
mainly provide protection against refreezing when there is no precipitation.
(b) SAE Type II Anti-Icing Fluids (Thickened-Type Fluids) Type II fluids (7, Table 2, 12-00-00)
provide protection against refreezing when precipitation occurs.
(c) SAE Type III Anti-Icing Fluids (Thickened-Type Fluids) Type III fluids (7, Table 2, 12-00-00)
provide protection against refreezing when precipitation occurs
(d) SAE Type IV Anti-Icing Fluids (Thickened-Type Fluids) Type IV fluids (7, Table 2, 12-00-00)
provide protection against refreezing when precipitation occurs.All approved Type I, Type
II, Type III and Type IV fluids may be used for either deicing or anti-icing at any dilution as
allowed by the fluid manufacturer's recommendations.Textron Aviation Inc. cannot accept
responsibility for damage to the airplane finish, windows, rubber seals, etc. resulting from
the use of deicing fluids not conforming to the specified specifications.These fluids were
chosen according to the following specifics:
1 Noncorrosive.
2 Do not deteriorate rubber, painted surfaces, or plastics.
3 Have a high flash point.
4 Nontoxic.
5 Good self-wetting and antifoaming characteristics.
WARNING: Type I, Type II, Type III and Type IV; Glycols are listed in the 'harmful'
category. You must wear protective goggles, protective gloves and
clothing when you handle this material. Keep the material away from
skin and eyes.
CAUTION: Make sure that the correct fluid application equipment and correct
procedures are used by qualified personnel so that the fluid will perform to
the specifications.
CAUTION: Each product is unique and reference must be made to the manufacturers
recommendations and the FAA guidelines which are published each year.
CAUTION: Though these fluids pass the DTD crazing test for transparent panels, do not
apply hot spray directly onto window panels or seals as damage may occur.
CAUTION: The fluids identified in this procedure are for ground deicing/anti-icing only
and are not intended for and do not provide protection during flight.
CAUTION: Residue from thickened deicing/anti-icing fluids (Type ll, Type III or Type
lV) can remain in aerodynamically quiet areas and accumulate over time.
This residue can re-hydrate and expand into a gel-like material that could
freeze during flight and cause restrictions in the flight control systems. The
accumulation of residual fluid is more prevalent when using a one-step
deicing/anti-icing process which is commonly used in Europe.
CAUTION: For operators using the one-step application process, visually inspect flight
control systems for the presence of dry or re-hydrated fluid at least twice
during the winter operations season.
CAUTION: For operators using the two-step application process, visually inspect flight
control systems for the presence of dry or re-hydrated fluid once at the end
of the winter operations season, as a recommended minimum procedure.
CAUTION: Each operator must determine their own frequency of inspection based on
the operational tempo of their airplane or fleet. For additional information
concerning this guidance please contact the HBC field service representative
or the Technical Support telephone line.
A. Guidelines to Holdover Times (HOT)
(1) Visit FAA web site (www.faa.gov) and in the search field type [Holdover Time Tables] and press
go/search. A listing will be called up that will include (but is not limited to) documents that read
"FAA - Approved deicing Program Updates" for the current year. When the Web Site cannot be
accessed or questions arise, contact FAA Flight Standards, Washington DC at 202.267.8166 or
Textron Aviation Inc. 1.800.429.5372 or 316.676.3140.
(2) Before take-off the pilot in command must be satisfied the airplane is clear of frost, snow or ice,
within the limitations stated in the applicable Aircraft Flight Manual.
(3) If the holdover time is exceeded and visual/tactile investigation of flight surfaces is not possible,
then the airplane should be returned for further treatment with deicing/anti-icing fluid prior to
takeoff.
(4) Freezing point of SAE/ISO Type I fluid mixture used must be at a minimum of 10°C (18°F) below
OAT.
B. General Application
WARNING: Make sure the airplane is grounded before any work is started.
WARNING: While these procedures are done, the surfaces will be very slippery
due to snow, ice, or deicing/anti-icing fluid; use a servicing stand
whenever possible. If a stand is not available, use mainplane
mats, safety belts, and take other similar precautions. Always
stand upwind of the airplane.
WARNING: Deicing /anti-icing fluids are toxic. Avoid contact with skin and
eyes, use goggles and protective clothing.
CAUTION: Wing skin temperatures may differ and in some instances be lower
than the OAT. A stronger mix (more glycol) can be used under these
conditions.The deicing/anti-icing fluid used must be to a concentration
and at a temperature in accordance with the fluid manufacturer's
instructions, provided the following limitations are not exceeded:
• For heated fluids, a temperature of 60°C (140°F) at the nozzle is desirable.
The upper temperature limit shall not exceed fluid and airplane manufacturer's
recommendations.
• Before you apply fluid, ground the airplane and make sure the covers and blanks
are installed to the static vents, pitot heads, and stall detector vanes.
CAUTION: To prevent possible ingestion of deicing fluid, do not operate the engines
or APU (if applicable) while deicing is in progress.
CAUTION: After snow is cleared from the surfaces, make sure the areas listed
below are free from snow or ice:
• All air intakes
• Control surface hinges
• Gaps between wing trailing edge shroud and flaps, airbrakes and ailerons
• Gaps between horizontal stabilizer and elevators
• Gaps between rudder and vertical stabilizer
• Wheel brakes
• Landing gear bays
• All doors and external drains
• Cold air unit ram air exhaust outlet and duct
CAUTION: Deicing/anti-icing fluid must not come into contact with landing gear
electrical plugs and harnesses.
Minor leaks or spills of deicing fluid in storage areas must be soaked up with an absorbent material,
such as sawdust, vermiculite, an all-purpose commercial oil absorbent, or sand. Carefully shovel the
absorbent/deicing fluid into an appropriate container for disposal.
Spilled, leaked, or contaminated deicing fluid must be disposed of in strict compliance with all
applicable federal, state, and local regulations and ordinances.
J. Remove Salt or Chemical Agents
CAUTION: Do not use high pressure water; damage may result to electrical
equipment and lubricated components.
(1) Where contamination has occurred on the structure, due to the airplane landing on airfields
where the snow or ice has been dispersed with salt or chemical melting agents:
(a) Wash down the affected areas with clean water as soon as possible. A wetting agent, such
as detergent cleaner (Teepol TS610) or Comprex A, may be added in small quantities.
(b) When the time or conditions prevent removal of the contamination at outstations, this must
be noted in the technical log, so that appropriate action may be taken to remove it at main
base.
K. Residue from Deice/Anti-Ice
(1) Inspection
(a) Gain access to areas, potentially affected by residue, where flight controls and other
systems components are located.
(b) Visually inspect for the presence of dry or rehydrated residue anywhere in these areas.
The residue may be difficult to see, especially if dry. Dry residue tends to be in the form
of a thin film that may be partially covered with grease or dirt. Rehydrated residue often
appears as a gel-like substance which is thicker and therefore more visible.
(2) Cleaning
(a) After identifying any residue it should be removed by using warm water with rags and/or
soft bristle brushes to clean the gel-like material away.
CAUTION: Make sure the water or compressed air does not cause any
residue to enter areas that are not accessible. Do not allow
runoff from the cleaning process to enter other areas of the
airplane.

1. Procedures
Threads of nuts and bolts to be torqued must be clean and free of all lubricants unless otherwise specified.
The loss of normal friction by contamination may result in overtorquing.
LEGEND:
T = Actual (Desired) Torque
Y = Apparent (Indicated) Torque
L = Effective Lever Length
E = Effective Length of Extension
EXAMPLE:
T = 135 inch-pounds
Y = Unknown
L = 10.0 inches
E = 1.5 inches
If a torque wrench is not available, an acceptable method of checking the torque is to attach a spring
scale (Ref. Figure 202) to a conventional flex or "T" handle inserted into an adapter. Force should be
applied in a direction perpendicular to an imaginary line extending from the center of the bolt through the
spring scale attaching point.
To calculate the force in pounds (scale reading) required to obtain the specified torque, divide the
torque in inch-pounds by the distance in inches between the center of the bolt and the scale attaching
point. For example, if the specified torque is 200 inch-pounds and the distance is 15 inches, a pull of
13.3 pounds must be applied.
When a torque wrench adapter is used, the length of the adapter must be added to the length of the flex
or "T" handle wrench and a value calculated for that particular combination. The following is a typical
example in finding a desired value.

1. General
Some types of electronic components are easily damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD), and require
special handling and storage procedures. ESD is a release of stored electrostatic charge which has been
generated by actions such as contact, rubbing, or separating of materials. A charge of this type can
damage electrical and electronic equipment installed in the airplane. In some instances, the damage
may not be immediate, but progressive. Components and items of equipment that can be damaged
by electrostatic discharge are considered to be electrostatic discharge sensitive (ESDS). Electronic
components that are considered to be electrostatic discharge sensitive include integrated circuits,
transistors and diodes, monolithic and hybrid microelectronics, MOS capacitors, thin film resistors, and
piezoelectric crystals. Any circuit or piece of equipment containing ESDS components is subject to ESD
damage if certain handling precautions are not observed.
Personnel who remove, inspect, test or install instruments and equipment containing ESDS components
must be aware of the possibility of ESD damage, and should handle ESDS components in accordance
with procedures covered in this chapter. Proper procedures and policies for the handling of ESDS
components and equipment should be adhered to for the following reasons:
• Control of ESD damage, from time of component manufacture to time of actual installation, must be
verifiable and must be maintained by use of established industry standards.
• Established policy dictates that all personnel follow certain procedures to prevent damage to ESDS
components and equipment.
• Personnel in interacting areas of responsibility must be aware of their obligation to maintain proper
ESD-controlled environments.
Table 1 lists several materials and the associated electrostatic charge polarity and magnitude for each.
Materials at the top of the list are capable of producing the greatest amount of positive electrostatic
charge, while materials at the bottom of the list are capable of producing a similar negative electrostatic
charge. Items of dissimilar polarity provide the greatest potential for electrostatic discharge. Numeric
values have not been assigned to the listed materials, as static charge levels are not constant, and will
vary with ambient conditions. A greater possibility of ESD exists when the positions of listed items in
Table 1 are farther apart. For example, an individual using his/her hands to pick up a PVC pipe has more
potential for producing ESD than does an aluminum part contacting a steel part.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. Procedures
A. Removal/Installation of ESDS Equipment
Observe the following procedures when removing or installing ESDS equipment:
CAUTION: Tools with plastic or insulated handles should not be used around ESDS
devices. These tools can carry a static charge which does not readily
discharge during the grounding process. Insulated tools should be used
only during power-on testing of aircraft systems to prevent electrical
shock to maintenance personnel performing the tests.Some circuit
board assemblies may be protected by plastic covers. These covers
can store an electrostatic charge. Use a static control work station to
neutralize any electrostatic charge on the covers before touching a
printed circuit board. Store the covers a safe distance from the work
area.
(1) When using test equipment, discharge all test leads to the ground prior to connection to the
ESDS circuit under test.
(2) Use a portable static control work station when removing ESDS circuit boards from card cages
and enclosures at the airplane.
(3) Place removed ESDS equipment on the static dissipative surface of the work station before
opening the static shielding container holding the replacement ESDS equipment.
(4) Just prior to engaging a cable connector with its mating receptacle, touch the connector shell
to the receptacle shell to neutralize any electrostatic charge on the connector or the installer's
body.
(5) Maintain protective coverings on stored ESDS equipment.
B. Handling of ESDS Components and Equipment
All personnel handling ESDS components and equipment should receive instruction in the proper
handling of such items. Observe the following handling rules to prevent damage to ESDS components
and equipment:
(1) Keep ESDS components and equipment inside ESD protective packaging until opened at a static
control work station.
(2) Before unsealing ESD protective packages, place the packages on the work surface of a static
control work station.
(3) Do not use pressure air nozzles to remove dust from ESDS printed circuit boards. Rapid
movement of air, combined with airborne dust particles, can create an electrostatic charge that
will destroy ESDS components.
(4) Always wear a grounding wrist strap when opening any ESD protective package.
(5) Avoid touching circuit components or connector pins when handling ESDS components or
equipment.
(6) Never place any ESDS component, before or after assembly, on a nonconductive surface or in
a container not specifically designed for storage of ESDS devices.
(7) Protect ESDS components and equipment with protective containers, conductive caps, and/or
pin-shorting devices.
(8) Store and transport ESDS components and equipment in ESD protective containers. Seal all
protective containers with an ESD warning label prior to shipment.
(9) Place all loose ESDS components and equipment into ESD protective containers BEFORE
removing a grounding wrist strap.
(10) Keep the work station free of any material not required to accomplish the assigned task.
(11) Follow established ESD protection rules and procedures.
(12) Always use a static control work station, either permanent or portable, when removing ESDS
components and equipment from protective packaging.
(13) Use only grounded, electrically isolated, and temperature controlled soldering irons that have
been rated for use with ESDS components and equipment. Use only hand tools that have
conductive or static dissipative handles or grips. Test equipment, such as scopes and meters,
must be rated for use around ESDS components and equipment.
(14) Avoid exposing ESDS components and equipment to large electromagnetic or electrostatic fields
such as transformers or transmitting antennas.
C. Controlling Static Charge Buildup
Four basic techniques are employed in ESD control. These are:
(1) MINIMIZE THE CHARGE BUILDUP - Minimize electrostatic charge buildup by using conductive
or static dissipative flooring and static-dissipative work surfaces. Wear leather shoes, cotton
socks, and a grounding ankle strap to dissipate body charge buildup. Wear cotton clothing
instead of wool or synthetics. Use an ionized air blower to dissipate charges from nonconductive
items.
(2) DRAIN OFF THE CHARGE TO GROUND - The human body is a good electrical conductor
and for that reason electrostatic charges on the body can be dissipated by skin contact with a
grounding device such as a wrist or ankle strap. Always wear a grounding wrist strap when
opening ESD containers or handling exposed ESDS components and equipment.
(3) NEUTRALIZE THE CHARGE - Nonconductors, such as polystyrene coffee cups, plastic bags,
and some clothing develop electrostatic charges that cannot be neutralized by grounding.
Ionized air flow will neutralize an electrostatic charge on a nonconductor as long as the ionized
air blower puts out both positive and negative ions.
(4) MINIMIZE THE EFFECTS OF ELECTROSTATIC FIELDS - The immediate environment
surrounding ESDS components and equipment must be free of electrostatic fields or must have
suitable static shielding to minimize induced effects from electrostatic fields.
D. Permanent Static Control Workstation
A static control work station provides for static-free handling of ESDS components and equipment by
diverting, to ground, electrostatic charges on conductive objects (Ref. Figure 201).
A permanent static control work station consists of the following items:
CAUTION: Never wear a grounding wrist strap over clothing. The strap must be in
contact with the wearer's skin to adequately dissipate any electrostatic
charge. Under certain conditions, personnel using a grounding wrist
strap may need to use a lotion-type skin moisture enhancer to provide
a low-resistance connection between the wrist and the wrist strap.
(1) GROUNDING WRIST STRAP - Each person that handles ESDS components and equipment
must wear a grounding wrist strap to dissipate bodily electrostatic charges. The wrist strap must
fit firm against the skin and release quickly in case of an emergency. The wrist strap incorporates
a 1-megohm current-limiting resistor, in series with the ground cord, to protect the wearer from
electrical shock hazards.
(2) STATIC-DISSIPATIVE WORK SURFACE - Conductive mats on the work bench surface are
designed to remove electrostatic charges from conductive items placed on the mat.
(3) CONDUCTIVE FLOORING - Conductive flooring is used when additional control of ESD is
required. To maintain total control over ESD, use conductive chairs, a grounding heel strap,
and conductive shoes. Conductive flooring in ESD control areas must be free of all wax or other
nonconductive coatings.
(4) HARD GROUND CONNECTION - Grounding of the static control work station is accomplished
through one or more copper ground rods driven into moist earth to a depth sufficient to provide
a low resistance path from the work station to ground. All work station connections to ground
are made through a one megohm resistor to protect work station personnel from electrical shock
hazards by limiting current flow to ground.
NOTE: Check building grounds to ensure that there is no current looping from other nearby
grounds.
Ensure that the source of current is external and not static.
(5) IONIZED AIR BLOWER - The ionized air blower provides a constant flow of positive and negative
ions over the work station surface to neutralize electrostatic charges on nonconductive materials
in the air flow path. The use of an ionized air blower, in combination with a static control work
station, provides additional protection for ESDS components and equipment. Since it is not
always possible to eliminate all static charge accumulators (Styrofoam, plastic, etc.) from a work
area, the ionized air blower is used to provide additional protection by flooding the work area with
balanced negative/positive ionized air. Static charge accumulators should always be kept away
from static-free areas, but inadvertent static is difficult to control, especially when developed by
such common items as clothing, footwear, combs, and pens. An ionized air blower will help
control some of this inadvertent buildup.
(6) STATIC DISSIPATIVE SEATING - Chairs used at ESD protected work stations must be
conductive, and if padded, must be covered with static dissipative material.
(7) CONDUCTIVE CONTAINERS - ESDS devices must be transported in approved containers
to prevent ESD damage. These special containers are made of metal or special conductive
plastic. Before static-sensitive components and equipment are removed from a static control
work station, they must be packaged in containers that provide at least as much protection as
that provided by the work station. Conductive boxes, kit trays, and similar types of approved
containers provide complete ESD protection to ESDS components and equipment while in
transit.
(8) GROUNDING HEEL STRAP - A grounding heel strap can provide additional ESD protection.
The heel strap makes contact with the wearer's skin at the ankle, and extends to the bottom of
footwear to make contact with a conductive mat or conductive flooring. The grounding heel strap
can be used in combination with a grounding wrist strap to provide maximum ESD protection.
(9) ANTISTATIC/CONDUCTIVE CLOTHING - Many types of clothing generate electrostatic
charges. To remove some of this buildup, work station personnel should wear outer garments
that help dissipate electrostatic charges. Cotton ranks among the best fabrics for antistatic
protection. Do not wear synthetic or wool fabrics around ESDS devices, as these fabrics retain
electrostatic charges.
E. Portable Static-Control Workstation
A portable static control work station provides for static-free handling of ESDS components and
equipment during maintenance operations at the airplane. The typical portable work station is
available as a field service kit that is used to dissipate electrostatic charges before the charges can
damage ESDS components and equipment (Ref. Figure 202).
A typical portable static control work station consists of the following items:
(1) GROUNDING WRIST STRAP - Each person who handles ESDS components and equipment
must wear a grounding wrist strap to dissipate bodily electrostatic charges. The wrist strap
must fit firm against the skin and should release quickly in case of emergency. The wrist strap
incorporates a 1-megohm current-limiting resistor, in series with the ground cord, to protect the
wearer from electrical shock hazards.
(2) STATIC-DISSIPATIVE WORK SURFACE - A conductive mat is an integral part of the portable
work station, and is designed to remove electrostatic charges from conductive items when those
items contact the mat.
(3) HARD GROUND CONNECTION - Ground the portable work station to the airframe or to a
common ground as shown. All portable work station connections to ground are made through
1-megohm current-limiting resistors to protect maintenance personnel from electrical shock
hazards.
CAUTION: Do not use clips or staples when sealing any ESDS package. Do not
use carbon-filled, conductive bags. Remove ESDS components and
equipment from protective, static-shielded containers only at a static-
control work station after attaching a grounding wrist strip and verifying
that ESD producing items are not on the static-dissipative work surface.
ESD protective packaging requirements, unless otherwise defined by specification, shall conform to
the following:
• Class 1 - Package in multi-layer conductive type bags consisting of an inner and outer layer of
antistatic (surface resistivity of 109 to 1014 ohms per square inch) or static dissipative (surface
resistivity of 105 to 109 ohms per square inch) material with a middle layer of conductive material
(surface resistivity of 10 ohms or less).
• Class 2 - Package in a static dissipative material possessing a surface resistivity of 105 to 109
ohms per square inch. Materials specified for Class 1 may also be used.
• Class 3 - Package in an antistatic material possessing a surface resistivity of 109 to 1014 ohms
per square inch.
Place all ESDS devices in approved static shielding containers before packing in shipper's normal
exterior containers. Use antistatic cushioning or fill materials. Do not use static generating materials,
such as polyethylene, Styrofoam, or paper.
Antistatic packaging is generally pink or blue in color. The material differs from common plastic in
that an antistatic compound is incorporated into the material during the manufacturing process. This
type of packaging DOES NOT provide static shielding, and is generally used to package instruction
sheets, data sheets, and other non-ESDS materials prior to introduction into a static-free environment.
All non-ESDS items, that are to enter an ESD work station, require repackaging in antistatic materials.
Conductive static-shielding packaging differs from antistatic packaging, in that it has the ability to shield
the devices, contained within from external static charges. Conductive static-shielding packaging is
available in the form of bags and rigid containers.
H. Marking of ESDS Components and Equipment
All ESDS components and equipment should be marked appropriately with an ESDS symbol as shown
(Ref. Figure 205).
NOTE: ESDS symbols (circle with arrows pointing into the circle from equidistant positions or a
hand inside of a triangle with an angling bar across the triangle) are yellow on a black
background or black on a yellow background.
Mark unit containers with the ESDS caution label on the outside of the package. Mark exterior
containers with an ESD caution label as shown (Ref. Figure 208). Apply marks directly to each
ESDS printed circuit board, assembly cover, equipment enclosure, or access door that would expose
ESDS devices if removed. Mark appropriately using decal transfer, stencil, silk screen, or any other
method meeting permanent legibility requirements.
Display ESDS symbols in a prominent package location to alert all personnel to the presence of ESDS
devices and equipment. The ESDS symbol should be at least 1/4 inch diameter. ESDS symbols that
are attached to circuit boards should contrast with the circuit board base color. Enclosures that contain
ESDS circuit boards should be identified by bright orange paint on the outer face of the enclosure.

1. General
The following terms are defined as used in the system description:
• ELECTRICAL BOND: A reliable electrical connection between conductive parts which provides
electrical conductivity.
• ELECTRICAL BONDING: Conductive parts are considered electrically bonded when they are
mechanically inter-connected to maintain a common electrical potential.
• GROUND: A conducting connection, whether intentional or accidental, by which an electrical current
or equipment is connected to maintain a common electrical potential.
There are two basic types of electrical bonding; direct and indirect. Both are accomplished by using
mechanical methods to attach the electrical conductors. Bolts, rivets, conductive laminates, flashing and
bonding jumpers are commonly used.
Whether direct or indirect, all electrical bonding must reflect high maintenance standards to maintain
the electrical integrity. Many times, an ill-prepared surface may initially provide sufficient grounding
properties, but experience a rapid deterioration in conductivity when corrosion from contaminants or
moisture appears on the bonding surface. All bonding surfaces should be free of primer or coatings not
compatible with electrical conductance. This includes but is not limited to, all protective films such as
anodize, grease, oil, paint, lacquer, or other finishes with high resistance properties. Once the electrical
bonding surface is cleaned, and the necessary protective coatings applied, the component is installed and
a resistance check is performed to verify continuity of the electrical bond.
A. Direct Electrical Bonding
Direct electrical bonds are frequently used for metal-to-metal joints. Before assembly, the joints are
treated with a conductive film that prevents corrosion of the bonding surface. Most direct electrical
bonds involve the installation of components on aluminum.
B. Indirect Electrical Bonding
When direct electrical bonding methods are impractical, indirect bonding methods are used. Indirect
electrical bonding is most commonly accomplished by using bonding jumpers to make the desired
connection. These flexible metal straps are attached to a prepared metal surface using screws, studs,
nuts and washers. The connection is always as short as possible and uses a single jumper. Two
bonding jumpers connected in a series is unacceptable, as this can double the resistance between
the ground plane and bonded component. Bonding jumpers are also used to electrically connect
tubes between joints.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
NOTE: Do not use emery cloth or iron oxide sandpaper. Use only aluminum oxide or silicon carbide
sandpaper.
NOTE: A stainless steel wire brush with a pilot may be used to clean small areas (Ref.
Figure 201).
(2) Clean the bonding surface thoroughly with MPK (1, Table 1) to remove any oils or contaminants.
NOTE: Do not touch the bonding surface with bare hands. Body oils or acids may prevent
adhesion of the alodine film or cause corrosion.
(3) Shake the alodine solution (2, Table 1) vigorously just prior to application, then apply to the
bonding surface with a clean Scotch Brite pad, sponge, brush or cloth.
NOTE: The alodine solution should have an amber color. If the solution is coffee colored it
has been contaminated. Repeat the cleaning procedure if contaminated alodine has
been applied to the bonding surface.
(4) Keep the treated area wet with alodine for approximately 3 to 5 minutes until a yellow color
develops. Should the alodine not change color, it is an indication that the surface was not
properly cleaned.
(5) After the alodine has changed color rinse the area with clean, deionized water and gently wipe
dry. Touch-up any areas where the alodine does not cover the bonding surface. Care must be
taken not to damage the alodine coating as it is still soft when bonding.
NOTE: The bonding surfaces must be assembled within one hour of alodine treatment.
Once dried, alodine must be softened before it can be effectively used in bonding.
If more than an hour has passed, soften the alodine by applying wet alodine to
the dried surface.
(6) Install the component being electrically bonded. Perform the ELECTRICAL BONDING CHECK
procedure.
(7) Seal around the edges of the electrical bond with conformal coat per MIL-I-46058 (3, Table 1).
If the assembly was originally protected by primer, prime the assembly with primer (4, Table 1)
and apply the original finish as required.
NOTE: The bond area must be refinished within 24 hours of electrical bonding to preserve
the integrity of the bond. If the bond involves a structural component, it must be
fillet sealed at the edges or seams with sealant (5, Table 1) to prevent moisture from
entering and deteriorating the electrical bonding surfaces. Refer to 20-08-00 for
information on airplane finishes.
B. Corrosion Resistant (CRES) Steel Surfaces
(1) Remove all grease and oil from the electrical bonding surface with cleaner (6, Table 1).
(2) Remove all paint or lacquer from the electrical bonding surface with MPK (1, Table 1).
NOTE: Use care not to remove any zinc or cadmium plating from the steel surfaces.
NOTE: The bond area must be refinished within 24 hours of bonding to preserve the
integrity of the bond. If the bond involves a structural component, it must be fillet
sealed at the edges or seams with sealer (5, Table 1) to prevent moisture from
entering and deteriorating the electrical bonding surfaces. Refer to 20-08-00 for
information on airplane finishes.
C. Stainless Steel and Titanium Surfaces
(1) Remove all oil and grease from the electrical bonding surface with cleaner solvent (6, Table 1).
(2) Remove all paint or lacquer from the electrical bonding surface with MPK (1, Table 1).
(3) Allow the electrical bonding surface to thoroughly dry.
(4) Lightly sand the electrical bonding surface.
(5) Use cleaner solvent (6, Table 1) to clean the electrical bonding surfaces and wipe dry with a
clean rag.
(6) Install the component being electrically bonded. Perform the ELECTRICAL BONDING CHECK
procedure.
(7) After a good bond has been verified with the resistance check procedures, it must be fillet

1. General
This airplane uses carbon steel control cables of multiple wire construction with the number of strands
varying according to the diameter of the cable. The carbon steel wire is helically twisted into strands and
the strands wound about other strands forming the flexible carbon steel cable.
Control cable pressure seals are installed on the control cables where they pass from a pressurized
area to a non pressurized area. The pressure seal is molded synthetic rubber and is split to the center
permitting removal of pressure seal without disturbing the control cable. A light grease (1, Table 1) is
packed into the pressure seals to maintain minimum friction between the control cables and pressure seals
and maintain cabin pressurization. Grease should be visible on the section of the control cables which
pass through pressure seals. For information on the control cable pressure seals (Ref. Chapter 12-20-00).

1. Procedures
A. Control Cable System Inspection
CAUTION: When inspecting control cables, always wear gloves to avoid injury from
frayed or broken wires.
NOTE: When a control cable is removed from the airplane, the cable should be dipped in
corrosion preventive compound (2, Table 1). Excess corrosion preventive may be
removed by wiping with a clean cloth.
Anywhere a cable is not visible, the flight controls shall be manipulated so that 100% of all
cables can be inspected.
Inspect the control cable system as follows:
(1) Inspect the control cables for incorrect routing, fraying and twisting. Look for interference with
adjacent airplane structure, equipment, wiring, plumbing and other control cables (Ref. Figure
201).
(2) Monitor control cable movement for freedom, looseness and full travel.
(3) Visually inspect all swaged fittings for distortion, cracks or broken wires at the fitting.
(4) Turnbuckles should have the proper thread exposure and be correctly safety wired.
(5) Locate any control cable broken or corroded wires as follows:
(a) Inspect the control cables near fairlead pulleys by passing a cloth along the length of the
cable. If a snag is found, closely examine the cable to determine the extent of the damage.
(b) Any suspect cable should be removed and placed in a loop position and checked for
additional broken wires.
NOTE: Individual broken wires are acceptable in primary and secondary control
cables at random locations when there are no more than three broken wires
on any given three foot cable segment.
(c) Inspect the control cables with broken wires for evidence of corrosion. If necessary, remove
the control cable, form it into a loop, and check the center strand for corrosion. Replace
any control cable that shows evidence of corrosion.
NOTE: The interior of all turnbuckles should be coated or filled with grease (1, Table
1) for corrosion protection.
B. Control Cable Storage
Control cables should be stored straight or in a coil. When stored in coil form, the coil inside
diameter should not be less than 150 times the control cable diameter, or bent in a radius of not
less than 75 times the control cable diameter. Coils should not be flattened, twisted or folded during
storage. Storage requirements should apply until the control cable is installed in its normal position
in the airplane. If only a part of the control cable is installed in an assembly, control cable storage
requirements apply to the portion of the control cable that has not been installed.
C. Control Cable Pulley Inspection
Inspect all control cable pulleys as follows:
NOTE: Control cable pulleys are installed along the control cables where a change of direction is
needed.
(1) Inspect all control cable pulleys for roughness, sharp edges and the presence of foreign material
embedded in the grooves (Ref. Figure 202).
(2) Inspect all control cable pulley bearings for smooth rotation, freedom from flat spots and foreign
material.
(3) Inspect all control cable pulleys for proper alignment.

(2) Center a bearing removal socket, with an inner diameter larger than the bearing outer race and
1/2 inch deeper than the bearing width, on the bearing housing (Ref. Figure 201).
(3) Center a bearing removal socket smaller in diameter than the bearing outer race.
(4) Install a washer and bolt through one of the sockets, through the center of the bearing and then
through the opposite socket as shown.
(5) Install a washer and nut on the bolt threads.
(6) Tighten the nut on the bolt until the pressure is sufficient to release the bearing from the bearing
housing.
C. Bearing Housing Inspection
Inspect the bearing housing for any grooves, cracks, warpage or hole elongation. The bearing housing
bearing contact surface must be smooth and uniform.
D. Bearing Installation Using Retaining Compound
CAUTION: When cleaning bearing surfaces never allow solvent to enter the
bearing. Never touch the bearing or bearing housing surfaces with bare
hands. Use a clean cloth to cover the bearing to prevent contamination
after they have been cleaned.
(1) Clean the outer surface of the bearing race with solvent (1, Table 1) and wipe dry.
(2) Coat the surfaces where a retaining compound is to be applied with primer (2, Table 1). This
includes the bearing outer surface, bearing housing mating surface and the bearing housing
retention flange if applicable.
(3) Allow the primer (2, Table 1) to air dry for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.
NOTE: The retaining compound (3, Table 1) may be applied before or after bearing
installation in the bearing housing.
(4) Apply a thin coat of the retaining compound (3, Table 1) to the bearing and the bearing housing
mating surfaces where the primer (2, Table 1) was applied.
(5) Center the bearing on the bearing housing.
(6) Using the hydraulic or mechanical pressure method shown, apply pressure to the bearing until
it is firmly seated in the bearing housing. Pressure on the bearing must be applied in direct
alignment to the bearing housing for the bearing to seat properly (Ref. Figure 201).
(7) Apply retaining compound (3, Table 1) to the area between the bearing and the bearing housing.
(8) The retaining compound must cure before the bearing is put into service. Curing may be
accomplished with one of the following:
(a) Allow the bearing and bearing housing to remain at room temperature for 24 hours without
any movement of the parts.
(b) Heat the bearing and bearing housing to 275°± 10° F and maintain that temperature for 15

1. General
Except for specific instructions required to satisfy a certain application, the following procedures are
standard methods used to install various locking devices used in conjunction with bolts, screws and nuts.
A. Self-Locking Nuts
Where self-locking nuts are used, the following procedure applies:
(1) Self-locking nuts shall be new for each application.
(2) For self-locking nuts, note the torque necessary to turn the self-locking nut before the self-locking
nut is seated.
(3) Add the above torque to the value detailed in the assembly instruction for the application. Use
this new value as the total applied torque.
B. Slotted, Steel Locknuts (Prevailing Torque Type)
Effective locking of slotted, steel locknuts on bolts requires the full engagement of all locknut threads.
The chamfered section of the locknut ID does not exert force on the bolt. It is not necessary that the
bolt be flush with or protrude from the outer face of the locknut.
C. Lockwire and Cotter Pin Requirements
When tightening a castellated nut for cotter pin installation, alignment of the slot must be obtained
without exceeding the maximum torque. If this is not possible, replace the nut. After tightening the
nut to the recommended torque, the nut must not be loosened to permit insertion of a cotter pin. If
the slot in the nut or lockwire hole in the bolt or screw is not correctly aligned at the minimum torque
value given, the nut, screw or bolt should be further tightened to the next alignment position, but the
maximum torque value given must not be exceeded. Should alignment still be impossible without
exceeding the maximum torque, back off the nut one half turn and torque.
Lockwire and cotter pins must never be reused. All lockwire and cotter pins must fit snugly into drilled
holes in the bolts and studs for locking purposes. Bushings and plugs must be lock wired to the
adjacent boss or casing. Never lockwire bushing to plug. Cotter pins should be installed so that the
head fits into the slot of the castellated nut and, unless otherwise specified, one end of the pin should
be bent over the stud or bolt and the other end flat against the flat of the nut.
D. Taper Pin Installation
Taper pins are used where movement between two parts is not wanted and other fastener options are
not desired.
E. Recommended Materials
The recommended materials listed in Table 1 as meeting federal, military or vendor specifications
are provided for reference only and are not specifically required by Textron Aviation Inc. Any product
conforming to the specification may be used subject to availability. The products included in these
Tables have been tested and approved for aviation usage by Textron Aviation Inc., by the vendor

operations performed on the airplane, practically all are derived from the basic examples
shown in Figure 202.
Observe the following guidelines when installing lockwire:
(1) New lockwire must be used.
(2) Use the same type and diameter of lockwire as that employed during the initial assembly. Except
where otherwise specified, the wire used on the airplane power plant is heat and corrosion
resistant steel wire of 0.0025 inch diameter.
(3) Lockwire must be tight after installation to prevent failure due to rubbing or vibration.
(4) Lockwire must be installed in a manner that tends to tighten and keep a part locked in place,
thus counteracting the natural tendency of the part to loosen.
(5) Lockwire must never be overstressed. It will break under vibrations if twisted too tightly. The
lockwire shall be pulled taut when being twisted, but shall have minimum tension, if any, when
secured.
(6) Lockwire ends must be bent towards the engine, or structure, to avoid sharp or projecting ends
which might present a safety hazard or vibrate in the air stream.
(7) Internal wiring must not cross over or obstruct a flow passage when an alternate method can be
used.
B. Lockwire Hole Alignment
Check the units to be lock wired to make sure that they have been correctly torqued and that the
wiring holes are properly positioned in relation to each other. When there are two or more units, it is
desirable that the holes in the units be in the same relationship to each other. Never overtorque or
loosen units to obtain proper alignment of the holes. It should be possible to align the wiring holes
when the units are torqued within the specified limits. However, if it is impossible to obtain a proper
alignment of the holes without either over- or under torquing, select another unit which will permit
proper alignment within the specified torque limits.
C. Lockwire Twisting
To prevent mutilation of the twisted section of the wire when using pliers, grasp the wire at the ends
or at a point that will not be twisted. Lockwire must not be nicked, kinked or mutilated. Never twist
the wire ends off with the pliers and, when cutting off ends, leave at least three complete turns after
the loop, exercising extreme care to prevent the wire ends from falling into areas where they might
create a hazard or cause damage. The strength of the lockwire holes is marginal.
D. Cotter pin Installation
Use the following to select and install cotter pins for the desired application (Ref. Figure 203):
(1) Install new cotter pins.
(2) Select cotter pin material in accordance with temperature, atmosphere and service limitations
as specified in Table 201.
(3) When nuts are to be secured to a fastener with cotter pins, tighten the fastener to the low side
(minimum) of the applicable specified or selected torque range, unless otherwise specified, and
if necessary, continue tightening until the nut slot aligns with the fastener hole. Maximum torque
must never be exceeded.
(4) Castellated nuts installed on fasteners are safetied with cotter pins. The preferred method is with
the cotter pin bent parallel to the axis of the fastener. The alternate method, where the cotter
pin is mounted perpendicular to the axis of the fastener, may be used when the cotter pin in the
preferred method is apt to become a snag.
(5) If 50% or more of the cotter pin diameter is above the nut castellation, a washer should be used
under the nut or a shorter fastener should be installed. A maximum of two washers may be
permitted under a nut.
(6) Use the largest nominal diameter cotter pin listed in MS24665 that the hole and slots will
accommodate. No application of a cotter pin to any nut or fastener is permitted if the fastener
hole size is less than the required hole and slot size for the cotter pin.
(7) Install the cotter pin head firmly in the slot of the nut with the axis of the cotter pin eye at right
angles to the fastener shank. Bend the cotter pin prongs so the cotter pin head and upper prong
are firmly seated against the fastener and the lower prong against the nut.
(8) In clevis pin or rod end 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 clevis pin or rod
end as shown in Figure 203.
(9) Cadmium plated cotter pins should not be used in applications bringing them in contact with fuel,
hydraulic fluid or synthetic lubricants.
NOTE: The turnbuckle barrel must be filled with grease (1, Table 1) before the threaded terminals
are screwed into the turnbuckle barrel.
Safety turnbuckles with lock clips as follows (Ref. Figure 204):
(1) New lock clips must be used.
(2) Screw both threaded terminals an equal distance into the turnbuckle barrel so that no more than
three threads of either terminal is exposed outside the body.
(3) If necessary, adjust the terminals until the cable is to the proper tension, adjust the turnbuckle
to the locking position (groove on terminals and slot indicator notch on barrel should be aligned)
and insert the end of the locking clip into the terminal and turnbuckle barrel end until the U curved
end of the locking clip is over the hole in the center of the turnbuckle barrel.
(4) Press the locking clip in the hole in the center of the turnbuckle barrel to its full extent.
(5) The curved end of the locking clip will latch in the hole in the center of the turnbuckle barrel.
(6) To check proper seating of the locking clip, attempt to remove the pressed U end from the
turnbuckle barrel using fingers only. Do not use a tool to check the lock clip installation as the
locking clip could be distorted.
(7) Repeat the previous Steps for installation of the locking clip on the opposite end of the turnbuckle
barrel.
(8) Both locking clips may be inserted in the same side of the turnbuckle barrel center hole or in
opposite sides of the turnbuckle barrel center hole.
H. Taper Pin Installation (Typical AN386 Only)
Taper pins are utilized in various places on the 1900D Airliner where no movement between the two
parts is desired and other fastener options are not as desirable as the taper pin installation. This
information only relates to type AN386 taper pins with a 0.5 inch-per foot taper and requires the use
of a reamer with the same taper. Taper reams that have a 0.5 inch-per-foot taper are available from
either a machine shop supply store or tool supply store and is usually referred to as a Brown and
Sharpe taper.
Refer to Figure 205 and Figure 206 for illustrations relating to torque tube hole location and taper pin
installation.
Refer to the narrative and Table 202 for the procedure used to correctly size and ream the torque tube
hole for the taper pin.
NOTE: In practice, to ensure the correct fit of taper pins to the corresponding holes, taper ream
the holes to an undersize condition. The finish taper ream is done with a taper ream
having the original taper (a taper reamer that has not been sharpened or ground).
Sharpened or ground reamers have been known to create a problem in maintaining
the proper ratio between the small and large hole. The ratio between the two holes is
critical for correct seating of the taper pins.
(1) Drill a hole (Ref. Figure 205) as detailed in Table 202 for the appropriate diameter taper pin.
(2) Rough and finish the taper ream to the correct diameter and a smooth, consistent surface. The
diameter is correct when the small end of the taper pin extends a maximum of 0.062 inch through
the part when the pin is seated (Ref. Figure 206). Light tapping with a rawhide mallet may be
necessary to seat the taper pin.
NOTE: Gaging the depth from the surface of the large end of the hole is not recommended
due to the thickness tolerances of the parts when assembled and taper pin diameter
tolerances.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. Procedures
A. Airplane Finish Cleaning
CAUTION: Since paint films do not obtain a hard finish for considerable time after
drying, airplanes that have been recently painted should not be polished
or waxed until the finish has cured for at least 60 days.Prior to washing,
attach the pitot cover securely and plug or mask off all other openings.
Be particularly careful to mask off all static air buttons before washing
or waxing. Use special care to avoid washing away grease from any
lubricated area. Prior to cleaning, cover such areas as wheels, brakes,
etc., and lubricate after cleaning as necessary. Always be sure all
makings and coverings are removed before returning the airplane to
service.
(1) Remove dust and dirt from painted surfaces with a cellulose sponge and cool tap water.
(2) Remove oil and grease with a cloth dampened with solvent (3, Table 1).
CAUTION: When washing the airplane with mild soap and water, use special
care to avoid washing away grease from any lubricated area. After
washing the wheel well areas with solvent, lubricate all lubrication
points. Premature wear of lubricated surfaces may result if these
precautions are not observed.Harsh soaps and detergents will
damage the airplane finish.
(3) Remove insects with a cellulose sponge and a mild Ivory or Lux soap and water solution.
(4) Carefully rinse the surface to remove ALL soap.
(5) Dry the cleaned surface thoroughly with a chamois to prevent water marks.
B. Environmental Fallout (Acid Rain)
After the specified curing period of new paint, avoid outside storage when conditions exist where
moisture may collect on painted surfaces. Acids which remain in standing water can stain the paint
topcoat and cause permanent damage to the finish. Flush off residual moisture with clean tap water
and dry the surface. At this time, waxing the surface can provide protection from acid rain damage.
C. Waxing Airplane Finishes
A good coat of wax will protect the airplane finish from the sun's rays and protect the surface against
oxidation. Any good automotive polish or wax may be used.
D. Placard Replacement
All placards must be in place and legible. Whenever the airplane has been repainted or touched up
after repairs, replace any placard that has been defaced or is missing.
E. Urethane Paints
NOTE: Any time the paint on the airplane is stripped for repainting, whether the repaint is to be
on a localized area of the airplane or on the entire airplane, a thorough inspection for
possible hidden corrosion should be conducted.
The need for an extremely hard finish for protection against sandblast during takeoff and landings
led to the development of urethane coatings for airplanes. Urethane paint dries to a high gloss and
retains color much better than standard finishes. It is unaffected by the chemicals in hydraulic fluids,
deicer fluids and fuels and requires less care and maintenance than standard finishes.
NOTE: After any painting repairs, inspect placards to ascertain that none have been covered
with paint.
F. Urethane Paint Repair Procedures
NOTE: The time normally required for urethane paint to cure must be extended at temperatures
below 70°F. The paint will not cure at temperatures below 60°F.
This airplane is finished with pretreatment (wash) primer, urethane primer and a top coat of urethane
enamel. The following procedures include cleaning, paint stripping, paint preparation, priming,
applying a urethane topcoat and an alternate method for small repairs not requiring paint stripping.
Careful observance of these procedures should result in a smooth, hard, glossy finish with firm
adhesion for maximum life.
NOTE: Precut stripes, numeral and letter patterns are available through Textron Aviation Inc.
G. Stripping and Cleaning Urethane Paint
CAUTION: Do not use stripper of any type for removing paint from fiberglass, nylon
or composite surfaces. Paint must be removed from these surfaces
with fine sandpaper, using care not to sand into the material. Never
use aluminum foil to mask electrothermal windshields during paintings,
because most metal brighteners will combine with the aluminum to form
a hydrogen gas that eats away the stannous oxide used as an anti-static
coating on electrothermal windshields. If metal brighteners are used,
cover the windshields with paper or pasteboard masking material.
Because of their resistance to chemicals and solvents, urethane paints and primers require a special
paint stripper. If a urethane stripper is not available, a good enamel stripper may be used. Removing
the finish with such a substitute will require several applications while working the stripper in with a
stiff brush or wooden scraper.
(1) Mask around the edge of the skin or skins containing the damaged area. Use a double thickness
of heavy paper to prevent accidental splashes of paint stripper from penetrating the masking.
NOTE: For the best results these directions must be followed carefully, for some
manufacturers require that the primer be allowed to set for 1/2 hour after the catalyst
and base have been mixed while others recommend immediate use after mixing.
(2) Apply a coat of urethane primer with a spray gun using 35 to 40 psi of air pressure. A spotted
appearance only indicates that the coat is thin.
(3) If the initial primer coat is allowed to cure for more than 24 hours before the topcoat is applied,
sand the primer slightly to roughen the surface and assure adhesion. Wipe off the sanding dust
with a cloth dampened with solvent (8, Table 1), then apply the topcoat.
J. Urethane Topcoats
(1) Mix the paint and catalyst as instructed by the manufacturer.
(2) Apply the topcoat with a spray gun at 35 to 45 psi of air pressure. Two coats are normally
required to fully conceal the primer and build up the topcoat film necessary for adequate service
life and beauty. The urethane finish will normally cure to approximately 85% of its full hardness
in 24 hours at temperatures of 80°F or higher.
K. Urethane Touch-Up Repair
(1) Mask around the skin containing the damaged area.
(2) Remove all loose edges of paint by using a high tack adhesive tape around the edge of the
damaged area.
(3) Using a coarse sandpaper, fair the edge of the damaged area with the metal.
(4) When the edge of the paint begins to fair into a smooth joint, use a fine grade of sandpaper to
eliminate the scratches left by the coarse paper. Take care to avoid removing any more metal
than is absolutely necessary.
(5) Wash the sanded area with solvent (2 or 8, Table 1). Change often to clean wash cloths so that
all of the sanding dirt will be picked up.
(6) After the area to be touched up has been cleaned until all traces of discoloration are gone, apply
a thin coat of pretreatment primer (4, Table 1) to the damaged area.
NOTE: If a metal conversion coating such as iridite or alodine is used, the wash primer
coating can be dispensed with. If the metal has not been treated with a metal
conversion coating but no wash primer is available, carefully clean the surface to be
touched up and apply urethane primer (7, Table 1) to the bare metal. This should
produce a satisfactory undercoat for the repair area.
(7) After the urethane primer has cured for 24 hours, sand the area under repair with medium fine
sandpaper. Sand the edge of the repair area until the indentation where the metal and old paint
meet is gone. If necessary, apply additional urethane primer until the juncture of old paint with
metal is no longer visible.
(8) Spray on two urethane topcoats.
2. Nose Radome
NOTE: Repainting the radome will affect the transmissivity requirements of the radome; therefore, a
maximum of three thin coats of polyurethane paint only should not be exceeded. Use of
any paint other than polyurethane is not recommended. When preparing the radome for
repainting, use a fine grit sandpaper, but do not sand into the black anti-static coating beneath
the finish paint coat.
Multiple coats of anti-static coating will change resistance; therefore, anti-static coating should NOT
be repaired with additional coats of anti-static coating or flat black paint.
A. New Radome Installation
(1) Trim, fit, drill and countersink the new radome to fit the airplane.
(2) Touch up the anti-static paint in all countersunk screw holes with one coat of 528-104 or 528-
306 flat black anti-static paint (9, Table 1). Ensure that the paint covers the entire inside of the
countersink and makes contact with the anti-static paint or primer on the exterior of the radome.
NOTE: Observe the manufacturer's safety recommendations when using the above
cleaners to clean the radome.
B. Radome Protective Boot Maintenance
Maintenance of the unpainted protective boot is a paste wax application when needed to prevent
staining. The protective boot should be replaced at the first indication of damage.
C. Radome Protective Boot Installation
Install the 3M radome protective boot as follows:
(1) Thoroughly wash the refurbished and primed radome with solvent (11, Table 1) and wipe dry.
(2) Using a marking pen, place a + on the top center of the radome for boot orientation. Place a
zero at one end of the + symbol.
(3) With the protective liner still in the protective boot, place the boot on the radome.
(4) Rotate the protective boot until the best fit is obtained on the radome.
(5) Place a + and zero on the protective boot at the same location as the + and zero on the radome.
(6) Remove the protective boot from the radome, turn the protective boot inside out and place over
the radome. At this time, disregard the orientation marks.
(7) Carefully remove the transparent protective liner from the protective boot.
(8) Saturate the exposed adhesive surface of the protective boot with a wetting solution of 25%
solvent (11, Table 1), 75% water and 1 teaspoon of liquid detergent (Ivory or Joy) per gallon of
wetting solution to prevent adhesive-to-adhesive bonding.
NOTE: The entire adhesive surface of the protective boot must be saturated with the
wetting solution.
NOTE: Care must be taken to avoid leaving blisters under the protective boot.
(13) If small blisters still remain under the protective boot, pierce them with a safety pin and relieve
the entrapped air or wetting solution. Work with the squeegee if necessary.
(14) Wrap the edge of the protective boot outer circumference at the desired location with 1/2-inch
wide masking tape.
CAUTION: Use extreme care during the trimming of the protective boot. The
razor blade must not cut into the radome.
(15) Using an industrial razor blade, trim the protective boot at the edge of the 1/2-inch wide masking
tape.
(16) Place the radome in a bake oven at 125° to 150° for 20 minutes.
NOTE: If a bake oven is not available, a heat lamp at the same temperature may be used.
If no heat lamp or oven is available, the radome must set for 24 hours at room
temperature for the adhesive to cure.
CAUTION: The air inlet ducts are lined with a coated glass fabric which is to be left
intact. The use of sandpaper that is too coarse, or a urethane stripper,
could cause damage to this area when removing the topcoat.
(1) Remove the topcoat of urethane enamel on the affected areas with a fine grade of sandpaper,
being careful not to remove the primer material.
(2) Apply the first coat of elastomeric polyurethane (12 and 13, Table 1) in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommendations, then allow to dry for one hour.
(3) Apply the second coat and allow to dry for one hour.
(4) Apply the third coat and allow to dry for 48 hours.
(5) After the 48 hour drying period, the topcoat may be applied.
7. Rubber Seals
Apply one coat of a thoroughly dissolved solution of one part rubber treatment (15, Table 1) and two parts
water to all rubber surfaces that are to come in contact with either metal or other rubber surfaces.
NOTE: The door seal retainer may be painted or left paint free, but must be
kept free of paint overspray.
CAUTION: Do not apply primer or paint to the interior surface, the packing seat area or
to the threaded attach holes.
Apply epoxy-polyamide primer to the exterior surface only and scuff sand with fine sandpaper prior to
applying finish paint coating.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. Procedures
The fuselage is sealed to prevent air loss for airplane pressurization. The fuel cells are sealed to prevent
fuel leakage. Most other sealed areas are sealed to protect the airplane from damaging elements.
A. General
The following instructions aid in resealing the airplane.
(1) Two part sealers should not be more than two months old when obtained. The sealer should not
be more than six months old when used.
(2) Sealers which have been premixed and flash frozen should be maintained at -40°F or lower and
should not be received more than two weeks beyond the date of mixing. These sealers should
not be used more than six weeks after the date of mixing.
(3) Frozen sealers should be at room temperature before being used. Frozen sealer must be
defrosted by any means which does not cause contamination or overheating of the sealer and
does not shorten the application time of the sealer. Defrosting temperature and time should be
adjusted to give the sealer a temperature between 60 to 80°F at the time the sealer is applied.
(4) Frozen sealers which have been defrosted should not be refrozen.
(5) 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 sealer.
(6) Naphtha Type II or Isopropyl Alcohol (TT-I-735) are the only cleaners which may be used on
plastic transparencies.
(7) Sealers may be applied to unprimed or primed surfaces, primer must be applied 48 hours prior
to sealer application.
(8) Sealers should not be applied when the temperature of either the sealer or airplane structure is
below 60°F.
(9) Pro-Seal 890 A-1/2, B-2 or B-4 are the only sealers approved for use on plastic transparencies.
(10) Sealers applied by brush coat method should always be applied on the pressurized side of the
seal.
(11) After application, all sealer should be smoothed down and pressed into the seam or joint.
(12) Extruded sealer should be evident around the complete periphery of the fastener to indicate
adequate sealing. Sealer should be wiped from the end of the rivet shank before bucking.
(13) Any pressure testing should not be attempted until the sealer has cured to the manufacturer's
instructions.
(14) Sealer should not be applied over ink, pencil or wax (grease) pencil marks.
(15) On sealers to be applied over primed areas from which the primer was removed during cleaning,
seal directly over the cleaned area. Touch up the exposed areas with primer after the sealer has
been applied and is tack free.
(16) Sealed components should not be handled or moved until the sealer is not tacky when touched.
(17) Drilling holes and installing fasteners through a sealed area shall be performed during the
working life of the sealer.
NOTE: The surface to receive the sealer application must be clean for proper sealer
adhesion. Any type of oil or contamination will not allow the sealer to adhere to a
surface.
B. Surface Preparation for Bonding/Sealing
The surface may be prepared as follows:
(1) Drill all holes to their proper size and remove any burrs from around the holes and between any
material.
(2) Remove any previously applied sealer. Use a Plexiglas or stiff plastic scraper and a rag
dampened with methyl ethyl ketone (metal surfaces) or naphtha (plastic surfaces) to aid in the
removal of the old sealer.
NOTE: Do not use a metal scraper to remove the old sealer. Do not use methyl ethyl
ketone on an acrylic scraper.
(3) Wipe the surface clean with a clean white cloth dampened with methyl ethyl ketone (metal
surfaces) or naphtha (plastic surfaces) and wipe dry. Let the solvent air dry after wiping.
(4) Wipe the surface clean with a clean white cloth.
(5) If zinc chromate primer was removed during the cleaning, prime the surface with zinc chromate
primer, MIL-P-8585. Allow to dry for 48 hours. Reclean to remove the excess primer and any
overspray.
C. Sealer/Adhesive Preparation
The time needed to complete the repair and the work time of the sealer/adhesive are important factors
in determining the proper sealer/adhesive.
NOTE: The manufacturer's recommendations and instructions must be followed at all times.
Frozen sealer/adhesive cannot be refrozen.
Any 2 part sealer/adhesive must be mixed with the base or catalyst it was shipped with. The base
or catalyst left from a previous order should not be used unless the batch number of the base and
catalyst are the same. The 2 part sealers/adhesives may be mixed as follows:
(1) Using a clean spatula, weigh out the proper amount of base required for the repair in a clean
wax free cup.
(2) Before removing any catalyst, stir the catalyst with a clean spatula. Discard the spatula. Using
a clean spatula, weigh the correct amount of catalyst in the cup with the base.
NOTE: Do not allow the catalyst to touch the side of the mixing cup or spill during the
weighing or mixing of the sealer/adhesive.
(3) Hand mix the base and catalyst together until the mixture is uniform in color with no streaks or
lumps.
D. Sealer/Adhesive Application (Ref Figure 201 and Figure 202).
The sealer/adhesive may be applied as follows:
(1) Ensure the surface is clean and free of oil or contamination as instructed under the heading
"SURFACE PREPARATION FOR BONDING/SEALING".
(2) Apply sealer/adhesive 1/32 inch thick to the cleaned surface using a spatula or air pressure
applicator.
(3) Place the part in place and install temporary or permanent fasteners. If temporary fasteners are
installed, enough pressure must be applied to ensure solid contact of the surfaces with no gaps
existing in the applied sealer/adhesive.
NOTE: Any fasteners to be installed in the airplane pressurized area must be dipped in
sealer before installation.
(4) All permanent fasteners required to accomplish the repair should be installed during the work
time of the sealer. The recommended work time of the sealer is established by the manufacturer
of the sealer.
NOTE: Fasteners with torque requirements must be torqued to final torque requirements
during the recommended work time of the sealer. The nut should be turned to take
torque readings if possible. No torque may be applied after the sealer has reached
the maximum recommended sealer work time. It is recommended that torque sealer
from Table 201 be applied to all torqued fittings and fasteners after the final torque
has been applied.

1. General
Field repair of fiberglass components should be limited to those areas without an excessive amount of
heat. In areas where fiberglass is used, with heat reaching a temperature near 300°F (149°C) or above, a
special phenolic resin-impregnated fiberglass is used. It is recommended that these parts not be repaired
unless there is a shop available which is equipped for this type of fiberglass repair.
A. Recommended Materials
The recommended materials listed in Table 1 as meeting federal, military or supplier specifications
are provided for reference and are not specifically required by Textron Aviation Inc. Any product
conforming to the specification may be used subject to availability. The products included in these

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. Procedures
Fiberglass damage may be repaired as instructed under the following appropriate headings.
CAUTION: This repair is not applicable for use on air conditioning ducts, heating ducts
or interior plastic parts of the airplane.
NOTE: Heat lamps may be used to accelerate the cure time of the mixture. Cure times are
approximate, depending on temperature and relative humidity. DO NOT sand if
tacky or rubbery, since the material is not sufficiently cured.
(6) After the resin has cured at room temperature for 8 to 12 hours, sand with 320 grit sandpaper
for the final smoothing.
(7) Paint if necessary.
B. Fiberglass Major Damage Repair
CAUTION: This repair is not applicable for use on the air conditioning ducts, heating
ducts, interior plastic parts of the airplane.
Major damage to fiberglass is damage that extends through the glass cloth plies but is less than 2
inches in length and 1/2 inch wide.
Damage that exceeds the major damage specifications requires part replacement. The major damage
repair may be made as follows:
NOTE: It may be necessary for aerodynamic smoothness or appearance to install the repair
glass plies to the inside of the damaged part.
The shop area should be clean, the temperature approximately 70° and the relative humidity at 50%
for ideal fiberglass repair conditions.
(1) Clean the damaged area with solvent (1, Table 1) and wipe dry.
(2) Push down on the area surrounding the damage to determine the full extent of the damage.
(3) Remove the damaged fiberglass by sanding or cutting at a 15° angle (Ref. Figure 201).
(4) Remove any flaky edges and feather the surface back at 15°, approximately 1/2 inch from the
cut out area.
(5) Sand the area surrounding the damaged area approximately 1 1/2 inches from the edge. Feather
the edges to allow the glass-cloth patches to lay in the feathered area.
(6) Clean with solvent (1, Table 1) and wipe dry.
(7) Prepare the glass-cloth plies for the repair. The first ply should be 1 inch larger in diameter than
the repair area. The additional glass-cloth plies should be 1 inch larger in diameter than the
preceding ply and should overlap the preceding glass-cloth ply by 1/2 inch on all sides.
NOTE: A course mesh glass-cloth ply may be used for the plies applied to the interior
of the damaged part for this repair. A fine-mesh glass-cloth ply is recommended
for the exterior ply.
(8) Apply the glass cloth plies impregnated with aerodynamic smoother (3, Table 1) with the smallest
patch first and each additional patch 1 inch larger in diameter than the preceding patch. Work
any air bubbles from the mixture as the patches are applied. Mix the aerodynamic smoother (3,
Table 1) resin as described below:
(a) Mix 100 parts of aerodynamic smoother (3, Table 1) to 10 parts of hardener(4, Table 1) by
weight, with 5% flexilizer (5, Table 1) added. Application time is 30 minutes.
(b) Brush the mixture on both sides of the prepared glass-cloth plies. Work the mixture through
the glass cloth. Work the air bubbles to the surface.
(9) After the glass-cloth plies have been applied on the inner or outer side, allow the aerodynamic
smoother (3, Table 1) to cure approximately 4 hours.
NOTE: Cure times are approximate, depending on temperature and relative humidity. DO
NOT sand if tacky or rubbery, since the material has not sufficiently cured. Sand
smooth with course sandpaper and wipe clean with solvent (1, Table 1).
A support for the glass-cloth plies may be necessary during the repair. The support may
be any object with the same contour as the damaged part. Release films should be
used to separate the support from the glass-cloth plies. Use C-clamps or blocking
to hold the support in place. After the material has sufficiently cured, remove the
support and sand smooth with course sandpaper.
(10) Feather the opposite side of the repair approximately 0.050 deep and 1 inch larger in diameter
than the damaged area.
(11) Clean with solvent (1, Table 1) and wipe dry.
(12) Brush both sides of a fine-mesh glass-cloth ply with a mixture of aerodynamic smoother (3, Table
1), as mixed in Step (8)(a), and work into the glass-cloth ply.
(13) Center the patch on the sanded area and remove any air bubbles.
(14) Allow to cure for 4 hours and sand smooth with course sandpaper.
NOTE: Cure times are approximate, depending on temperature and relative humidity. DO
NOT sand if tacky or rubbery since the material has not sufficiently cured.
(15) After 8 hours, sand with 320 grit sandpaper to the original thickness to obtain the required finish
smoothness.
(16) Paint if necessary.

A. Determination of Serviceability When Part Life is Unknown
14 CFR Part 43 requires that all persons who remove life-limited parts from airplanes safely control
these parts. Acceptable methods to control these parts are defined by 14 CFR Part 43. In certain
circumstances the life status of a part may not be known. The following guidelines may be used to
assess the life status of an aircraft part. Note that this is not an exhaustive list.
WARNING: If the life status of a part cannot be determined, the part shall be
considered to be beyond its safe life and must be disposed of in
accordance with 14 CFR Part 43.
(1) If the part is original to the airplane:
(a) For determining compliance with calendar time life limitations, the beginning of the part life
shall be the date of issuance of the original aircraft airworthiness certificate.
(b) For determining compliance with usage related life limitations, the total aircraft hours,
landings, or cycles shall be considered as appropriate.
(2) If the part is a replacement:
(a) For determining compliance with calendar-time life limitation, consider the calender time
since the logbook verified installation date plus any prior usage of the replacement part.
(b) For determining compliance with usage related life limitations, consider the airplane hours,
landing, or cycles as appropriate, accrued since the logbook verified part installation plus
any prior usage of the replacement part. Once the life of the part is determined, the part
should be controlled by one of the acceptable methods outlined in 14 CFR Part 43.

MODEL 1900D AIRLINER
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. General
The environmental system makes use of engine bleed air for cabin pressurization, cabin heating and the
motive force to operate the air cycle machine (ACM), the primary source of cabin cooling during flight.
A vapor cycle system, driven by the right engine is used on the ground and to augment the air cycle
machine cooling during times of greater heat loads when additional cooling during flight is required.
A system of valves, regulators and temperature and pressure sensors controls all physical aspects of
the bleed air flowing into the cabin. Two outflow valves, operated by the pressurization controller and
mounted on the aft pressure bulkhead, provide a controlled exit for the pressurization air in order to
maintain a preselected pressure differential between the cabin environment and the outside air.
Conditioned bleed air is distributed and recirculated by two distinctly different duct systems. The outlets
in the lower cabin sidewalls deliver conditioned bleed air and recirculated cabin air to the cabin while
cool air outlets in the cabin mid sidewall provide for cabin air recirculation and additional cooling by
the vapor cycle system.
Temperature regulation is provided by the cabin temperature controller mounted in the center cabin
overhead upholstery. Various modes of temperature control are provided by the controlling circuitry; the
system can be controlled manually by the flight crew or automatically by the cabin temperature controller;
the evaporator blowers can be also operated independently without temperature control.
3. Distribution
Bleed air from the engines is precooled and delivered to the cabin through outlets in the lower cabin
sidewalls for pressurization, heating and cooling from the air cycle machine (Ref. Figure 1). The vapor
cycle system recirculates and further cools the cabin air as required and distributes the air through
adjustable cool air outlets. The vapor cycle system makes use of the two evaporator blowers in order to
recirculate the cooled cabin air. Evaporator coils are mounted on the inlet side of the evaporator blowers
to facilitate the exchange of heat between the cabin air and the cooling media when the vapor cycle
system is operating. Refer to 21-20-00 for a more detailed explanation of the operation of this system.
4. Pressurization Control
Cabin pressurization is maintained at a selected level by the cabin pressure controller mounted in the
pedestal. The cabin pressure controller has settings for cabin altitude and rate-of-change. The sole
function of the cabin pressure controller is to control the outflow valves which open or close proportional to
the degree of vacuum being provided by the cabin pressure controller. The cabin pressure controller will
automatically maintain cabin pressure at some level below the maximum operating pressure differential
that exists between ambient pressure and the altitude setting on the cabin pressure controller. Should
a fault in the cabin pressure controller cause it to fail to maintain cabin pressure differential below the
maximum, the outflow valves are calibrated to open and dump the excess cabin pressure.
21-00-00 Page 1

BEECHCRAFT®
MODEL 1900D AIRLINER
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
A vacuum is supplied to the cabin pressure controller through a normally open solenoid-type valve
(preset solenoid valve E104) to the outflow valves through a normally closed solenoid-type valve (dump
solenoid valve E105). These two valves are energized through the CABIN PRESSURE switch (S118)
on the pedestal extension. When the switch is in the DUMP mode, both solenoid valves are energized
and a vacuum is switched from the cabin pressure controller to the outflow valves, opening them and
dumping the cabin pressure to the outside. 21-30-00 contains complete information for troubleshooting
and maintenance of this system.
5. Heating
Bleed air from the engines enters the cabin distribution ducts for heating through an electrically operated
rotary valve (the ACM bypass valve).
The air cycle machine bypass valve opens when heating is required and modulates the output of the
air cycle machine. As the cabin temperature controller continues to ask for increased heating, the air
cycle machine bypass valve continues to open until it is fully open. When the cabin temperature controller
begins asking for cooling, the air cycle machine bypass valve begins closing. When the air cycle machine
bypass valve is fully closed, the entire flow of bleed air is directed through the air cycle machine.
The air cycle machine bypass valve also serves the purpose of switching the vapor cycle system
compressor in for additional cooling or out when heating is required. Refer to 21-40-00 for more
information on heating.
6. Cooling
All cabin cooling is provided by the air cycle system and, when required, by the vapor cycle system. Vapor
cycle system cooling is initiated by the cabin temperature controller (E160) calling for more cooling,
causing the ACM bypass valve to close. Switching activity of the ACM bypass valve when it closes turns
on the vapor cycle system. Refer to 21-50-00 for general information and preliminary troubleshooting
of the cooling system.
A. Air Cycle System
The air cycle machine utilizes engine bleed air to drive a compressor which compresses the bleed air
to a point where the excess heat of compression can be removed through the use of heat exchangers;
when this pressure is released as the bleed air expands, the resultant heat deficit with respect to
ambient initiates cooling. The sequence in the air cycle machine is as follows:
(1) Bleed air enters the air cycle machine through the first stage heat exchanger where excess heat
is removed.
(2) Bleed air travels through the air cycle machine compressor where it is compressed to a higher
pressure and temperature.
(3) The compressed bleed air passes through the second stage heat exchanger where the excess
heat of compression is removed.
(4) The compressed bleed air passes through the air cycle machine turbine to provide the motive
force necessary to drive the compressor and cooling air fan. As the compressed bleed air passes
through the turbine, it expands, causing an additional amount of heat to be lost which results in
the air being cooler than the cabin ambient.
Refer to 21-51-00 for detailed maintenance information concerning this system.
B. Vapor Cycle System
When heat loads are such that the air cycle system is producing maximum cooling, a signal is
transmitted to the temperature controlling circuitry which causes the refrigerant compressor clutch
to be engaged, thereby turning the compressor and initiating the cooling cycle of the vapor cycle
system.
21-00-00 Page 2

BEECHCRAFT®
MODEL 1900D AIRLINER
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
A condensing coil and blower assembly, located in the right forward inboard wing, removes
excess heat from the high temperature, high pressure gaseous refrigerant being discharged from
the compressor, allowing the refrigerant to condense to the liquid state. The high pressure, low
temperature liquid refrigerant, passes through a metering device (thermostatic expansion valve)
into the evaporator where the pressure is relieved and the refrigerant allowed to evaporate into the
gaseous state that produces a heat deficit in the gaseous refrigerant. Cabin air is circulated over
the evaporator coil where heat is transferred from the cabin air to the gaseous refrigerant. The low
pressure, low temperature refrigerant then returns to the compressor and the entire cycle is repeated.
Once the vapor cycle system is actuated, it will remain in operation until such time as the ACM bypass
valve has opened fully, at which time a signal is transmitted to the heat side of the heat/cool command
relay (K205) and vapor cycle cooling is terminated.
Certain measures have been taken to protect the vapor cycle system from damage during normal
operation. A 40°F outside air temperature switch (S259) keeps the system from being actuated while
in low ambient temperature conditions; this switch closes at 50° ± 5°F and opens at 30° ± 5°F. High
pressure and low pressure switches turn the system off in the event operating pressures exceed the
maximum or minimum safe operating limits. 21-52-00 contains information to aid in troubleshooting
and maintaining this system in proper operating condition.

7. Temperature Control
Temperature control is accomplished by the cabin temperature controller (E160) which makes use of
temperature-sensitive resistance devices to register cabin temperatures.
The totally solid state circuitry in the cabin temperature controller issues commands to the air cycle
machine bypass valve (E159) to control the amount of cooling provided by the air cycle machine. When the
air cycle machine is providing maximum cooling, the cool command from the cabin temperature controller
is routed through a switch in the bypass valve to the cool side of the heat-cool command relay, energizing
the compressor clutch (E16) of the vapor cycle system and initiating vapor cycle system cooling.
Heat commands, issued by the cabin temperature controller, cause the ACM bypass valve to open and
duct uncooled bleed air into the cabin. When heating is required and the ACM bypass valve opens fully,
the heat command from the cabin temperature controller is routed to the heat side of the heat-cool
command relay and the vapor cycle system is turned off.
Electrical schematics and troubleshooting tables in 21-60-00 will aid the technician in properly maintaining
this system.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. General
Bleed air from the P3 stage of the engine is precooled to 450°F ± 25°F by the precooler heat exchanger
mounted immediately aft of the engine oil cooler. A precooler bypass (E14) and a precooler-through (E15)
valve modulate the amount of bleed air passing through the precooler. The two valves operate opposite of
each other; when the through valve is opening, the bypass valve is closing and vice versa. The bleed air
is pressure regulated to 37 ± 3 psig by the pressure regulator/shutoff valve (Ref. Figure 1).
When the bleed air control switch is turned on, all three environmental bleed air valves are energized
(precooler-through valve, precooler bypass valve and pressure regulator/shutoff valve). If bleed air
pressure is adequate, a temperature controller assumes control of the two precooler valves and
pneumatically controls the valves in varying degrees in order to maintain the specified bleed air
temperature.
A. Bleed Air Valve Switches (S1) and (S2)
There are two BLEED AIR VALVES switches, a left (S1) and a right (S2) on the R inboard subpanel
(A224). Each BLEED AIR VALVES switch controls four valves. The pneumatic system bleed air
shutoff valves, left (E177) and right (E178), are held shut by voltage when the control switch is in the
INST & ENVIR OFF position. The pressure regulator/ shutoff valves, left (E101) and right (E102),
and precooler valves, bypass (E14) and through (E15), are controlled by the bleed air control module
(A317) after being actuated by the control switches (S1 and S2). These valves are operated by bleed
air pressure after being actuated. The air cycle machine (ACM) heater (E184) is turned on by either
the left (S1) or right (S2) switch. When the BLEED AIR VALVES switches are placed in the ENVIR
OFF position, the butterfly valve in the precooler bypass valves (E14) and the corresponding bleed air
pressure regulator/shutoff valves (E101 and E102), close a switch that lights up a white annunciator
on the caution/advisory annunciator panel (E302) (Ref. Figure 1). See Detail A, Figure 5 of 21-00-00
for location of the white annunciators on the caution/advisory annunciator panel (E302).
B. Bleed Air Control Module (A317)
Relay logic is provided by the bleed air control module (A317). Inputs from the control switch,
overpressure switches and overtemperature detector will shut the valves on the selected side. When
a pressure or temperature fault is detected by the bleed air control module (A317) (Ref. Figure 1),
28 VDC is applied to the warning legend annunciator panel (E1) located in the center of the glare
shield above the instrument panel. Red annunciators on the annunciator panel (E1) light up when a
fault has been encountered. When a fault is encountered, LEDS on the pcb also light up. Red LEDS
for the right or left side mean a pressure fault and green LEDS indicate a temperature fault. (Ref.
21-00-00, Figure 5, Detail C).
C. Overpressure
Three overpressure switches monitor bleed air pressure, one for each side of the bleed air system
and a third located near the air cycle machine (ACM). The ACM pressure switch (S315) has two
sets of contacts, one for each side of the system, and closes at 40 ± 1 psi on increasing pressure to
indicate an overpressure condition. The left (S303) and right (S304) pressure switches close at 44
± 1 psi on increasing pressure to indicate an overpressure condition. An overpressure signal to the
bleed air control module (A317) will occur only when one side (S303 or S304) and the ACM pressure
switch (S315) close. When an overpressure is reported, the relay logic removes the voltage from
the precooler valves and the pressure regulator/shutoff valve on the affected side. The same signal
and relay logic will illuminate the L/R ENVIR FAIL warning annunciator lights. Anytime the pressure
regulator/shutoff valve closes, the L/R ENVIR OFF caution/advisory annunciator lights illuminates. A
surge tank between the left and right overpressure switches and the bleed air line dampens pressure
surges and provides a stable bleed air reference (Ref. Figure 1).
D. Overtemperature

MODEL 1900D AIRLINER
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Three overtemperature sensors, left (E112), right (E113) and the ACM (E303), monitor bleed air
temperature and report it to the overtemperature detector (E243). Like the pressure switches, there is
a sensor for each side of the bleed air system and one near the air cycle machine (ACM). If bleed air
temperature exceeds 500°F± 10°F, signals from the overtemperature detector actuate the relay logic
to remove voltage from the precooler valves and the pressure regulator/shutoff valve on the affected
side. The same signal and relay logic will illuminate the L/R ENVIR FAIL warning annunciator lights.
Anytime the pressure regulator/shutoff valve closes, the L/R ENVIR OFF caution/advisory annunciator
lights illuminates (Ref. Figure 1).

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. Procedures
Should an abnormal temperature be encountered, evaluation of the precooler system and controls
is indicated. Abnormal bleed air pressures will be corrected by troubleshooting of the pressure
regulator/shutoff valve and controls.
Table 101 presents a scheme of troubleshooting in a logical sequence of checks and should serve as a
guide for the technician in narrowing down faults to a small portion of the overall system.
Note:
1. Perform the BLEED AIR TEMPERATURE CHECK in Maintenance Practices.
2. Perform the PRECOOLER VALVES FUNCTIONAL CHECK in Maintenance Practices.
3. Perform the BLEED AIR PRESSURE CHECK in Maintenance Practices.
4. Clean and inspect the temperature controller as instructed in the Model 1900 Airliner Series Component
Maintenance Manual.
1. Procedures
Maintenance of the environmental bleed air system will usually be limited to replacing valves and
performing certain maintenance checks. Bleed air lines should be opened only when necessary.
The precooler-bypass valves and their interconnecting network should be removed as an assembly.
Space restrictions make it extremely difficult to perform any kind of maintenance, other than functional
checks, on the valves while installed in the airplane.
A. Precooler Valves Functional Check
Air pressure, taken directly from the bleed air line, operates the precooler bypass (E14) and through
(E15) valves. Solenoids on each valve control the valve in order to maintain the on/off status of
the valves. A temperature controller modulates the air pressure, providing proportional control of
the two precooler valves. On rising bleed air temperatures, the temperature controller reduces the
temperature control line air pressure which causes the through valve to begin opening and the bypass
valve to begin closing; the inverse of this occurs on decreasing bleed air temperature.
In the de-energized state, the on/off solenoid on the through valve closes (Ref. Figure 201) and
prevents the pressure-drive-line air from escaping through the temperature controller. The bypass
valve solenoid opens when de-energized to relieve pressure on the through-valve diaphragm, allowing
the through-valve spring to open the valve.
(1) Remove the forward upper and lower cowling, the oil cooler inlet duct and the lower aft cowling
(Ref. Chapter 71-10-00, NACELLE/COWLING - MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES).
(2) Set both BLEED AIR VALVES switches to INST & ENVIR OFF position (Detail A, Figure 202).
(3) Disconnect the flexible bleed air hose descending the left side of the engine from the bleed air
manifold inlet and install an AN818-16D cap on the fitting.
(4) Fabricate an orifice plate 2.09 inches in diameter with a 0.064 to 0.071 inch orifice in the center
of the plate. The orifice plate may be fabricated out of 0.032 inch thick 2024-T3 aluminum sheet.
(5) Remove the clamp from the coupling on the duct just downstream of the temperature controller,
insert the fabricated orifice plate between the flanges and install the coupling; tighten the clamp
nut only enough to prevent excessive leakage.
(6) Disconnect the instrument and deice bleed air line and cap the fitting with an AN818-12D cap.
(7) Observe the valve position indicators on the valve bodies. The bypass valve should be closed
and the through valve should be open.
(8) Connect a precooler to the manifold (either a spare or the one from the lower aft cowl).
(9) Disconnect the fuel purge system line from the manifold fitting and connect a filtered air source
regulated to 35 ± 5 psig.
(10) Check the valve position indicators; both valves should be closed.
(11) Apply 28 vdc to the airplane and open the appropriate bleed air valve switch. The bypass valve
should now be open and the through valve should remain closed (simulation of cool running
engine). If the bypass valve remains closed and the through valve open, the temperature
controller (Detail C, Figure 202) is defective and should be replaced.
(12) Loosen the temperature control line connection on the temperature controller, allowing the
pressurized air to escape. The bypass valve should now close and the through valve should
open (simulation of high temperature engine operation).
(13) Should either valve fail to operate as indicated, replace the valve or temperature controller as
indicated. Reconnect the flexible hose to the manifold inlet, tightening the nut to 35 ± 2 inch-
pounds.
(14) Remove the orifice plate from the coupling downstream of the temperature controller and install
the clamp, tightening the clamp nut to 35 ± 2 inch-pounds.
(15) Remove the cap and connect the instrument and deice bleed air line.
(16) Disconnect the air source and connect the fuel purge system line.
(17) Restore the aircraft to pretest configuration.
B. Bleed Air Temperature Check
Bleed air temperatures are continuously monitored by the overtemperature detector (E243).
Overtemperature sensors, left(E112), right (E113) and ACM (E303), mounted in the bleed air
lines, change resistance in response to changes in bleed air temperature. Logic circuits in the
overtemperature detector make use of this information and, through this logic and relays, close the
pressure regulator/shutoff valve on the affected side.
Following is a procedure for determining if the bleed air temperature is within normal operating limits.
(1) Locate the overtemperature detector module (E243) rack under floorboard 153ATC (Ref. Details
A and C, Figure 4, 21-00-00).
(2) Remove the connector (P118) from the overtemperature detector (E243).
(3) Operate the engines at 1,540 rpm and 3,000 foot-pounds of torque.
(4) Measure the resistance between pins 2 and 3 of the connector for the left engine or between
pins 15 and 16 for the right engine with a multimeter (1, Table 1, 21-00-00).
(5) Resistance should be between 445 and 515 ohms for a normally operating system. Any readings
between 200 and 445 ohms or between 515 and 700 ohms indicates a fault in the precooler
valves or temperature controller. Any reading below 200 ohms or above 700 ohms indicates a
faulty overtemperature sensor (Ref. Figure 203).
C. Bleed Air Pressure Check
Bleed air pressures are maintained at 38 ± 2 psig by the pressure regulator/shutoff valves. Failure of
the valves to maintain proper pressure can be detected by measuring the bleed air pressures. Two
environmental bleed air test ports, located on the inboard side of the right and left wheel wells, have
been provided for this purpose.
(1) Locate the bleed air test port in the wheel well (Ref. Detail A, Figure 201, 21-11-03) and remove
the cap.
(2) Connect a 0 to 50 psi pressure gage (2, Table 1, 21-00-00) to the test port.
(3) Slowly advance the engine from idle to 1,540 rpm and 3,000 foot-pounds of torque.
(4) If the bleed air pressure increases to 37 ± 3 psig, then drops as the power is increased,
the precooler-through valve may be sticking shut. Perform the PRECOOLER VALVES
FUNCTIONAL CHECK.
(5) If the bleed air pressure increases steadily but does not stabilize at 38 ± 2 psig, the pressure
regulator/shutoff valve should be replaced or adjusted. Adjust per 21-11-03.
D. Environmental Operational Overpressure Test
(1) Place the BLEED AIR VALVES switches, left (S1) and right (S2), in the OPEN position and rotate
the cabin temperature mode switch (S6) to the P TEST position.
(2) Run the engines up to 85% N1
(3) The MASTER WARNING annunciator lights should illuminate.
(a) The L ENVIR FAIL and L ENVIR OFF and R ENVIR FAIL and R ENVIR OFF annunciator
lights should illuminate.
(b) If the left and/or right lights do not illuminate within several seconds, increase N1 to 90%.
E. Environmental Operational Overtemperature Test
(1) Rotate the cabin temperature mode switch (S6) to the T position.
(2) The ENVIR FAIL and MASTER WARNING annunciator lights should illuminate immediately.
(3) The ENVIR OFF annunciator light should illuminate.

1. General
Air produced to cool and heat the airplane cabin is distributed through insulated ducting to outlets in
the sidewall above the floor and outlets in the sidewall arm rests. The flight compartment receives
conditioned air through outlets in the floor, ceiling and from under the instrument panel. Distribution
ducting for the air cycle system is independent of the ducting for the vapor cycle cooling system. Refer
to Chapter 21-11-00 for engine bleed air control.
A. Vapor Cycle Air Distribution
Cool air produced by the vapor cycle cooling system is distributed by the vent blowers through
insulated ducts to the passenger compartment and the flight compartment. The cool air outlets
can be adjusted to control the direction and amount of airflow and are located in the passenger
compartment armrests and in the flight compartment overhead panel. The cool air outlets are
operated by rotating the nozzle to turn on or off and adjust the airflow. The outlet ball permits moving
the nozzle to direct the flow of air (Ref. Figure 1).
The vent blowers for the vapor cycle cooling system are located immediately forward of each
evaporator and will operate in high speed or low speed when the cabin temperature mode switch
(S6) is set to each position (Ref. Figure 2). When the blower control switch (S4) is set to AUTO,
the vent blowers, forward (B106) and aft (B112), will operate in the LO speed when the cabin
temperature mode switch (S6) is set to each position except OFF. When the blower control switch
is set to HI or LO (airplane serials UE-1 thru UE-6) or HI or OFF (airplane serials UE-1 thru UE-6
with Kit No. 129-5000 installed and UE-7 and After), the blowers will operate in the selected speed
regardless of the position of the cabin temperature mode switch. The low speed relays, forward
(K141) and aft (K143), are energized through the VENT BLOWER CONTROL circuit breaker (CB7),
the cabin temperature mode switch, and the blower control switch. The circuit breaker is located
on the underfloor circuit breaker panel (A187) (Ref. Detail B, Figure 4, 21-00-00). When the cabin
temperature mode switch is set to OFF, the low speed relays are energized through the blower
control switch when in the LO position on airplane serials UE-1 thru UE-6 and when in the OFF
position on UE-7 and After and on UE-1 thru UE-6 with Kit No. 129-5000 installed. The low speed
relays can be energized through the cabin temperature mode switch when the blower control switch
is set to AUTO. When the vent blower control switch is set to LO or AUTO, only the low speed relays
are energized and power is supplied through the 30-ampere limiters to each vent blower at the LO
terminal on UE-1 through UE-6 or at the OFF terminal on UE-7 and After and on UE-1 thru UE-6 with
Kit No.129-5000 installed. A thermal protection device in the low speed circuit (LO terminal) of the
ventilation blower (modified by Vendor Part Kit No. 630-203-1 or Vendor Part Kit No. BC80A-901-3)
provides thermal protection to the vent blower assembly. The thermal protection device will interrupt
power to the low speed circuit resistor at a specified temperature setting. This protects the vent
blower from overheating due to shorted brush lead-wires or deteriorated armature bearings which
can cause smoke or fumes to enter into the vent system. The vent blower control switch is located on
the copilot's inboard subpanel. The relays are located adjacent to the blowers (Ref. Figure 2). The
high speed relays are energized through the blower control switch when it is set to the HI position.
When the high speed relays are energized, power is supplied through the closed contacts of the high
speed relays and the low speed relays to the HI wire of each vent blower.
B. Air Cycle System Distribution
Conditioned bleed air, produced by the air cycle machine cooling system, is distributed through
insulated ducting to floor outlets in the passenger compartment and the flight compartment. The floor
outlets in the passenger compartment are in the sidewall just above the floor and have a protective
covering. The flight compartment floor outlets are under the pilot's seats and directs the conditioned
air forward. A flapper valve is installed in the ducting at the junction of the ejector tube and the main
distribution duct at approximately FS 270. The flapper valve is controlled by a push-pull cable located
on the copilot's inboard subpanel. The control cable can be pulled to divert most of the conditioned
bleed air forward to the flight compartment (Ref. Figure 1).

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Ambient air can be supplied to the cabin through the air cycle system ducting when the airplane is
depressurized. A manually controlled valve located in the nose ram air duct can be opened to allow
air to enter the airplane through the ram air door solenoid valve and the manual valve when the cabin
pressure control switch is set to DUMP. The control for the manual shutoff valve is a push-pull cable
mounted under the copilot's inboard subpanel.
C. Defrost and Flight Compartment Heat
Conditioned bleed air, produced in the air cycle machine, is distributed through insulated ducting to
outlets located forward of the instrument panel for heating and windshield defrost. Push-pull cables
allow the pilot and copilot to control butterfly valves that control the amount of conditioned bleed air
flow from the outlets. The pilot's control is located on the pilot's outboard subpanel and the copilot's
control is located on the copilot's outboard subpanel.
Conditioned bleed air for windshield defrost is controlled by a push-pull cable control located on the
pilot's inboard subpanel. The control cable is pulled to allow conditioned bleed air flow through a
butterfly valve to the windshield.

1. Procedures
Improper rigging of the flapper valve in the conditioned bleed air ducting may cause improper operation of
the air cycle system. Refer to the procedure listed under MAINTENANCE PRACTICES of this section
to rig the flapper valve.
1. Procedures
A. Conditioned Bleed Air Flapper Valve Rigging
When the flapper valve in the main ducting is closed to decrease the airflow to the aft outlets, the
valve should not shutoff the flow of air to the aft outlets completely. If the flapper valve or control cable
is removed or adjusted, the flapper assembly should be rigged to close with approximately 0.3 inch
clearance of the main duct when the control cable on the copilot's inboard subpanel is pulled to its
stop (Ref. Figure 201).
B. Nose Ram Air Flapper Valve Rigging
The valve installed in the nose ram air inlet duct closes the inlet completely. The valve should be
rigged completely closed when the VENT manual control is pushed in to its stop.
C. Heat And Defrost Valve Butterfly Rigging
The butterfly valves in the pilot's heat outlet, the copilot's heat outlet, and the defrost duct, shut off the
flow of air to the outlets. Each valve should be rigged completely closed when the applicable cable
is pushed in to its stop (Ref. Figure 202).

the two holes of the air outlet and screwing it in clockwise.
1. General
A. Pressurization of the airplane cabin is controlled by the cabin pressurization controller, a pneumatic
relay, two solenoid valves, and two outflow valves. The cabin pressure controller, pneumatic relay,
preset (E104) and dump (E103) solenoid valves, and one orifice are installed within the pedestal
extension in the flight compartment. The cabin pressure control switch (S118) is mounted on the top
of the extension. The switch panel includes the controls for the cabin pressure controller. The cabin
rate-of-climb indicator and the cabin differential pressure indicator are mounted above the pedestal
under the annunciator panel. The volume tank is mounted on the forward inboard side of the pedestal.
The vacuum regulator and one orifice are installed on the aft side of the forward pressure bulkhead.
Orifices installed in the vacuum lines, in the cabin pressure controller and in the pneumatic relay help
limit the rate of change in cabin pressurization. Filters are installed in the cabin air ports on the cabin
pressure controller and the pneumatic relay. Outflow valves sense atmospheric pressure through
plumbing that connects the valves to static air pressure ports located on the left and right sides of
the fuselage aft of the cargo door. These static ports are separate from the static ports connected to
the instruments mentioned in Chapter 34-11-00. The outflow valves are installed on dump vent ducts
located on the aft pressure bulkhead. A low point drain valve is located at FS 163 on the right side
under the cabin floor panel 132AT (Ref. Chapter 06-50-00). The drain is used to relieve any water
that may collect in the control line between the dump valve solenoid and the outflow valves.
B. Vacuum for the pressure controller is controlled by a vacuum regulator located immediately aft of the
forward pressure bulkhead. This regulator is used only in the pressurization system and maintains
the vacuum between 3.75 and 4.75 inches Hg. The regulator is connected to the vacuum manifold.
For further information on the vacuum system (Ref. Chapter 37-00-00).
C. The inflow of air for cabin pressurization is environmental bleed air from the left and right engines.
The inflow pressure is controlled by bleed air regulator/shutoff valves installed in the bleed air lines
connected to each engine compressor. For information on the valves and the control of bleed air from
each engine (Ref. 21-11-00).
D. When the cabin pressure control switch (S118) is set to PRESS (pressurize) prior to takeoff, the
energized preset solenoid (E104) shuts off the regulating vacuum to the cabin pressure controller
(Ref. Figures 1 and 2). The energized pressure dump solenoid (E103) opens, making vacuum control
available to the outflow valves. The vacuum control is amplified by the pneumatic relay and allows
the diaphragm in the outflow valves to open so the cabin pressure altitude and the rate of change of
cabin pressure can be set on the cabin pressure controller.
E. In flight (when the squat switch is opened), the preset solenoid (normally open) is de-energized and
allows vacuum to be applied to the cabin pressure controller. The dump solenoid valve (normally
closed) de-energizes and shuts off direct vacuum to the outflow valves. The cabin pressure controller
then controls the outflow valves through the pneumatic relay. The pneumatic relay amplifies the
vacuum control from the cabin pressure controller to allow the outflow valves to be controlled in
tandem. The function of each valve is identical. Each outflow valve contains a relief valve that relieves
cabin pressure according to the rate-of-change and altitude set on the cabin pressure controller unless
the valve relieves pressure when the cabin-to-atmosphere pressure differential exceeds a maximum
of 5.0 ± 0.1 psig. The volume tank provides a vacuum memory to allow the cabin pressure controller an
accurate rate-of-change control. If atmospheric pressure exceeds cabin pressure, a negative pressure
relief diaphragm in each outflow valve opens the valves to allow atmospheric pressure to relieve cabin
negative pressure. The CABIN PRESSURE SWITCH can be set to TEST position to deenergize the
preset and dump solenoids and allow the pressure control system to function as though the airplane
were in flight.
F. Ambient air can enter the cabin when the cabin pressure differential is minimal and the ram air door
solenoid latch is opened (de-energized) by setting the cabin pressure control switch to DUMP. If the
VENT manual control is pulled to open the butterfly in the ram air inlet, ambient air is allowed to flow
into the ram air inlet, through the solenoid controlled door on the forward pressure bulkhead, and into
the conditioned bleed air duct in the flight compartment. When the cabin pressure control switch is
set to the PRESS position, the ram air door solenoid latch is energized to the closed position and
magnetically holds the ram air door closed.

MODEL 1900D AIRLINER
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
G. When the airplane lands (the left squat switch is in the down position), the preset solenoid and the
dump solenoid are energized and the cabin is allowed to depressurize through the opened outflow
valves.
H. Cabin pressure altitude and the cabin-to-atmosphere pressure differential are indicated on the
differential pressure indicator located above the control pedestal under the annunciator panel.
The differential pressure indicator is vented to the static ports and to cabin pressure. The cabin
rate-of-climb indicator is located on the left side of the differential pressure indicator. The pressure
differential is expressed in psig and the pressure altitude is expressed in thousands of feet. The
cabin rate-of-climb indicator allows monitoring of the rate of change of cabin pressurization. Cabin
pressure altitude and the rate of change of cabin pressure altitude can be controlled by using the
appropriate adjustment knob located on the cabin pressure controller. However, the differential
pressure indicator and the cabin rate-of-climb indicator are not directly connected to the cabin
pressure controller. Turning the rate-of-change selector clockwise will increase the rate of change of
cabin pressurization and turning the selector counterclockwise will decrease the rate of change.
I. The cabin differential pressure switch (S122) is located forward and below the differential pressure
indicator (under the instrument panel). The cabin deferential pressure switch is vented to the static
ports and to cabin pressure. The cabin differential pressure warning circuit is separate from the
pressurization control circuit. The cabin differential pressure switch closes at an increasing cabin
pressure of 5.25 ± 0.15 psig and opens on a decreasing pressure of 4.4 psid. When the cabin
differential switch closes, it lights up the red CAB DIFF HI annunciator light located on the warning
annunciator panel in the center of the glareshield. Refer to Figure 3 for wiring circuit. Refer to Ref.
Figure 5 in 21-00-00, for location of the switch.
J. If cabin pressure altitude exceeds 10,000 +0 -500 feet, the cabin altitude warning pressure switch
(S117) closes, and the warning annunciator light labeled CABIN ALT HI will illuminate. The cabin
altitude warning circuit is separate from the pressurization control circuit. The pressure switch in the
altitude warning circuit is installed on the fuselage electrical equipment panel located beneath cabin
floorboard 143ATC in line with the front row of passenger seats. Refer to Figure 3 for wiring circuit.
Refer to Ref. Figure 4 in 21-00-00, for location of the switch.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. Procedures
This troubleshooting section contains a simple AIRBORNE FUNCTIONAL TEST to determine that the
cabin is pressurizing properly and the AIRBORNE SYSTEM CHECK to check that the entire system is
functioning properly during flight. In addition, there are two methods to check the CABIN LEAK RATE.
The FLIGHTLINE GROUND TEST is a simplified version which requires running an engine and using the
airplane's pressurization controls. The HANGAR GROUND TEST does not require starting the engines,
uses test equipment to monitor cabin pressure, and includes three configurations for attaching test
equipment for pressurizing the cabin.
A. Airborne Functional Test
(1) Prior to flight, start at least one engine and set N1 to 85%. Set the applicable LEFT or
RIGHT BLEED AIR VALVES switch to OPEN. Set the cabin pressure controller at an altitude
approximately 1000 feet below field pressure altitude or to sea level on the dial, whichever is
the higher altitude, and hold the CABIN PRESSURE switch in the TEST position for at least
45 seconds. The cabin rate-of-climb indicator and the cabin pressure altitude should show
a decrease. If the cabin pressure controller is set above field pressure altitude, the cabin
rate-of-climb indicator will drop, then stabilize at zero when the CABIN PRESSURE switch is
held in the TEST position. Pressurization will not occur unless the cabin pressure controller is
set below field pressure altitude.
(2) After performing the procedures outlined in Step (1), operate the system with the CABIN
PRESSURE switch in the PRESS position. Prior to takeoff, set the desired cabin pressure
altitude and the rate-of-climb on the cabin pressure controller.
As the airplane leaves the ground, the cabin will pressurize at the rate set on the cabin rate-of-
climb selector until the preset cabin altitude is reached, or until the maximum pressure differential
is reached. The cabin will then maintain pressurization according to the maximum differential
pressure of the outflow valves (5.0 ±0.1 psig). The maximum differential pressure for each valve
is identical. Cabin altitude will continue to climb at a slower rate than the airplane until cruise
altitude is reached. Cabin pressure will then stabilize.
B. Airborne System Checks
Troubleshooting of the pressurization system is best carried out in two phases: data collection and
data analysis. Data is collected as a result of a series of operational checks performed and recorded
on the PRESSURIZATION CHECKS WORKSHEETS. The data is then applied to troubleshooting
Table 102 where certain fault possibilities and appropriate corrective actions are suggested.
The pressurization checks are performed in four stages: prestart, preflight, climb and cruise.
Occasionally, at certain points during the checks, the procedure suggests terminating the entire
check procedure until the currently revealed fault is corrected. Beyond these points, any further data
collection would most likely yield unreliable results.
It is suggested that no attempt to analyze data be made during the data collection phase of the
troubleshooting. It is also suggested that, when performing the pressurization checks and analyzing
the data, the technician not deviate from the logical progression that has been established by these
procedures.
The PRESSURIZATION CHECKS WORKSHEET may be copied by maintenance personnel; such
copying will not constitute a violation of Textron Aviation Inc. copyrights.
C. Preflight Procedure
(1) Start the engines according to the procedure outlined in the pilot's operating handbook.
(2) Place the LEFT (S1) and RIGHT (S2) BLEED AIR VALVES switches to the OPEN position and
time the outflow valves opening cycles: it may take up to 30 seconds for the valves to open fully.
Replace any valve that does not open.
(3) Place the LEFT (S1) and RIGHT (S2) BLEED AIR VALVES switches to the OFF position and time
the closing of the valves: closing time for these valves should be between 15 and 30 seconds.
Replace either valve for excessive closing time.
NOTE: An outflow valve which operates too quickly or too slowly may cause "bumps" when
in transit between pressurized and non pressurized operation.
(4) Set the copilot's altimeter and the test altimeter to 29.92 in. Hg. and record the field pressure
altitude (FPA) from the copilot's altimeter and the cabin pressure altitude (CPA) from the test
altimeter. If a discrepancy exists between the two altimeter readings, set the copilot's altimeter
to the same altitude setting as the test altimeter.
(5) Place the LEFT (S1) and RIGHT (S2) BLEED AIR VALVES switches to the OPEN position and
increase engine rpm to high idle.
(6) Set the cabin pressure controller cabin altitude dial to 1000 feet below FPA or to the lowest
reading on the dial, whichever is the higher altitude.
NOTE: When the FPA is below sea level at low elevation airports during high barometric
pressure days, this check can not be performed and should be no cause to
condemn any component in the pressurization system.
(7) While monitoring the outflow valves, hold the CABIN PRESSURE control switch in the TEST
position.
(8) The cabin rate-of-climb indicator should indicate a descent within 45 seconds. If the cabin will
not pressurize at this point, discontinue these checks; the cabin leak rate is too great or the cabin
ram air door may not be closed.
(9) When the cabin rate of change stabilizes, turn the rate knob to minimum (fully CCW) and notice
that the cabin rate of change decreases. Replace a controller that shows no change in rate
response.
(10) When the cabin altitude stabilizes (cabin rate-of-climb indicator reads zero), record the cabin
altitude from the test altimeter and the airplane's cabin altitude indicator; record cabin altitude
setting shown on the cabin pressure controller and the reading from the cabin differential
pressure gage.
(11) While still holding the CABIN PRESSURE switch in TEST, turn the cabin altitude select dial on
the cabin pressure controller to 500 feet above FPA.
(12) The cabin rate-of-climb indicator should indicate a rate of climb. Turn the rate control knob on
the cabin pressure controller to the maximum rate and notice an increase in the rate of climb:
the cabin should stabilize at FPA. Replace a cabin pressure controller that shows no change in
rate response.
(13) Set cabin altitude on the cabin pressure controller to 2000 feet above FPA and the rate control
knob to the 12 O'CLOCK position.
(14) Place LEFT and RIGHT BLEED AIR VALVES switches to OFF.
D. During Climb
(1) Place LEFT and RIGHT BLEED AIR VALVES switches to OPEN.
NOTE: Should the cabin fail to begin pressurizing after passing through the cabin altitude
selected on the cabin pressure controller, discontinue these checks: the left landing
gear squat switch is not opening the preset (E104) and dump (E103) solenoid
valves circuit.
(2) Select SL on the cabin pressure controller and climb the airplane to 12,000 feet pressure altitude
according to the copilot's altimeter: record this altitude on the worksheet. Cabin altitude should
stabilize between 450 and 850 feet.
E. During Cruise
(1) Cabin Leak Check
(a) Place LEFT and RIGHT BLEED AIR VALVES switches to OFF and record the cabin rate-
of-climb when the rate stabilizes: the cabin rate-of-climb will initially indicate a rate above
the actual leak rate, stabilize, then begin to decrease gradually. Record the cabin climb
rate at the point where the cabin rate begins to decrease gradually.
NOTE: If the cabin leak rate exceeds 2400 fpm, terminate these checks, land and
correct the cabin leak rate.
(b) Place LEFT and RIGHT BLEED AIR VALVES switches to OPEN and permit the cabin
altitude to stabilize once again.
(2) Single Source Check
(a) Place LEFT BLEED AIR VALVES switch to OFF.
(b) Reduce power towards high idle on the right engine and record the engine N1 speed at the
point where cabin altitude begins to climb. Do not reduce power below high idle.
(c) Restore power to the right engine and place the LEFT BLEED AIR VALVES switch to
OPEN.
(d) Permit the cabin altitude to stabilize again and place the RIGHT BLEED AIR VALVES switch
to OFF.
(e) Reduce the power towards high idle on the left engine and record the engine N1 speed at
the point where cabin altitude begins to climb. Do not reduce power below high idle. The
minimum N1 required to maintain differential should be 85% or lower.
(f) Restore power to the left engine and place the RIGHT BLEED AIR VALVES switch to
OPEN.
(3) Maximum Differential Check
(a) Before beginning the next check, ensure that the airplane is at the pressure altitude
selected earlier, 12,000 feet.

WARNING: Never open the cabin door, cargo door, flight compartment
windows, escape hatches, or access panels while the cabin
is being pressurized during this test.Always have at least two
people inside the airplane during this test. Persons inside
the airplane during this test must be free of obesity, heart
disorders and respiratory or ear infections, and must be
emotionally stable.
(2) Attach a sign on the outside of the cabin door that reads: DANGER - AIRPLANE IN PRESSURE
TEST.
(3) Gain access to the yellow AN929-6 test cap (test port No. 2) (Ref. Figure 101) in the cabin
pressurization control plumbing in the pedestal extension to bypass the cabin pressure controller
and allow the pressurization system to establish a climb rate even though the airplane may be
sitting at sea level.
(4) Remove the test cap and install a suitable adjustable needle valve. Start with the valve shut.
(5) Set the altimeter to 29.92 in.-Hg and note the field pressure altitude (FPA). Use the FPA and the
graph (Ref. Figure 102) to establish the maximum climb rate equivalent to maximum allowable
leakage. Even though the airplane will not leave the ground, the climb rate will decrease as the
cabin is pressurized and will increase as the cabin leaks. It is the positive climb rate that can
be used as a measure of maximum allowable leakage when the cabin is pressurized to 4.3 psi
differential. In the example given on the graph in Figure 102, the FPA was 3800 feet; therefore,
the airplane instrumentation "feels" like it is at 3800 feet. The 3800 feet value is converted to the
cabin climb rate of 2210 ft/min when the cabin is pressurized to a 4.3 psi differential, the climb
rate should not exceed 2210 ft/min; otherwise the cabin is leaking more than is acceptable.
WARNING: DO NOT allow the cabin descent rate to exceed 1000 ft/min
as discomfort will be imposed on the pilots or maintenance
personnel.
(6) Set the cabin pressure controller rate selector knob to the full clockwise position.
(7) Secure all windows, doors, escape hatches, and access panels that are part of the pressure
vessel.
NOTE: It may be necessary to increase engine N1 after the test has begun in order to reach
4.3 psi cabin differential. Adjust the needle valve after any engine N1 change to
maintain the rate-of-descent at or below 1000 ft/min.
(15) When 4.3 psi cabin differential is reached, set the BLEED AIR VALVES switches to INST &
ENVIR OFF. Observe the indicated cabin rate- of-climb: the value will initially indicate a higher
rate, stabilize, then begin to decrease gradually. Record the cabin climb rate at the point where
it begins to decrease gradually. If the climb rate exceeds the limit determined in Step (5), the
maximum allowable leakage is excessive and should be corrected.
G. Maximum Differential Check
A maximum differential check may be performed at this time if the mechanic has any reason to
question the operation of the outflow valves.
WARNING: Never open the cabin door, cargo door, flight compartment
windows, escape hatches, or any access panels while the
cabin is still pressurized during this test.
(13) Open the flight compartment storm window to verify that the cabin pressure is completely bled
off.
(14) Shut down the engines.
(15) Remove the needle valve installed at the test port. Replace and tighten the test port cap.
H. Cabin Leak Rate Ground Test Equipment
Test units used to ground test the cabin for pressurization leaks must include air inlet filters and a
pressure relief valve to prevent damage to the airplane. The typical test unit used to check the cabin
leak rate will consist of an air blower, a dry filter, pressure relief valve, airplane pressure indicator, a
rate-of-climb indicator, air flow indicator, unit pressure indicator, unit air temperature indicator, unit air
control/dump valve, shop air regulator, and a shop air pressure indicator.
The method for interfacing the test equipment to the airplane will vary. Some test equipment splices
into the bleed air plumbing in the nacelles with a "Y" pressure hose or an optional single 2-inch
pressure hose attached to an adapter plate in the fuselage belly.
The test units and adapter plate available for the HANGAR GROUND TEST FOR CABIN LEAK RATE
that include the safety features and instrumentation described above are:
(1) Cabin Pressurization Units and adapter (4, Table 1, 21-00-00).
NOTE: When it is desirable to pressurize the cabin with the single 2-inch pressure hose and
the adapter plate required is not supplied, the following adapter plate may be used:
NOTE: The safety net required to secure the cabin door and the safety straps required to
secure the cargo door may also be purchased from Textron Aviation Inc.:
NOTE: A fuselage safety net (6, Table 1, 21-00-00) that covers the entire fuselage for
pressure testing is available. When using this net, the cabin door safety net and
cargo door safety straps are not required.
I. Hangar Ground Test for Cabin Leak Rate
Carefully review the technical data provided with the test unit prior to initiating the test procedure.
(1) Connect ground power and set the MASTER SWITCH to ON.
(2) Disconnect the vacuum (relay) line (9) from the T-fitting (12) that connects outflow valves (10).

Test Unit (4, Table 1, 21-00-00).
1 Remove the control cable access panel 121 DBC located just aft of the nose wheel
well in the fuselage skin.
2 Install and seal the adapter plate (4, Table 1, 21-00-00) where the access panel was
removed.
3 Connect the 2-inch pressure nose and sense line from the test unit to the adapter
plate.
(b) Configuration 2 - Use this configuration when using test equipment that requires splicing
into the bleed air plumbing at each nacelle to pressurize the cabin.
1 Open each left plenum panel of the engine cowling.
2 Disconnect the flexible bleed air hose (1) from the bleed air manifold fitting (2) (Ref.
Figure 104).
3 Attach the "Y" pressure hose from the test unit to the bleed air manifold fitting in each
nacelle (2).
4 Set the cabin temperature mode switch (S6) to MAN. Hold the MAN TEMP switch (S5)
in the INCR position until the ACM bypass valve is completely open, then release it.
5 Set the rate control knob on the cabin pressure controller to the full clockwise position.
6 Bypass the airplane's circuitry to energize the solenoids of the pressure regulator/
shutoff valves and the precooler valves as follows:
a Remove floorboard 153ATC (Ref. Figure 4, 21-00-00, Detail A) to gain access
to the electrical equipment PCB rack at FS 205.
b On the bleed air control module (A317) (Ref. Figure 4, 21-00-00,, Detail C),
apply 28 VDC to pin 16 of the edge board connector P517 and P518 and leave
the airplane's cables connected to the PCB.
(c) Configuration 3 - Use this configuration when using test equipment with a 2-inch pressure
hose and the adapter plate.
1 Remove the control cable access panel 121DBC (Ref. Figure 3, Chapter 06-50-00)
located just aft of the nose wheel well in the fuselage skin.
2 Install and seal the adapter plate (5, Table 1, 21-00-00) where the access panel
121DBC was removed.
3 Open the right avionics compartment door.
4 Locate the AN bulkhead fitting mounted in the pressure bulkhead immediately below
the tube assembly of the vacuum regulator.
5 Remove both caps on the fitting, one inside the flight compartment and one inside
the avionics compartment.
6 Connect the sense line from the test unit to the fitting on the pressure bulkhead in the
avionics compartment to sense cabin pressure.
(5) Exit all personnel from the airplane.
(6) Close and latch the cabin door, flight compartment storm windows, cargo door, escape hatches,
and any access panels that would contribute to cabin pressurization.
(7) Secure the cabin door with the safety net and secure the cargo door with two safety straps called
out under CABIN LEAK RATE GROUND TEST EQUIPMENT or use heavy strength nylon web
safety straps. The minimum breaking force of the straps should be 26,000 pounds. If making
structural repairs to the pressure vessel, attach a safety net large enough to cover the entire
pressure vessel.
WARNING: Never open the cabin door, cargo door, flight compartment
windows, escape hatches, or access panels while the cabin is
pressurized during this test. DO NOT leave the test area during
the test.
(8) Attach a sign on the outside of the cabin door that reads: DANGER - AIRPLANE IN PRESSURE
TEST.
(9) Connect shop air to the test unit.
(10) Adjust the shop air on the test unit to 15 psi.
(11) Turn the test unit ON to start the blower.
(12) Open the pressure hose shutoff valve.
(14) When the cabin pressure reaches 4.3 psi, decrease the air flow valve until the climb rate indicator
reads zero. At this point the amount of airflow into the cabin is equal to the amount of air escaping
the cabin.
NOTE: Standard cubic feet per minute (SCFM) is the true value of cubic feet per minute
taking into consideration the effects of temperature and pressure on a gas, in this
case, air.
(15) Read the air flow indicator and convert the reading to SCFM by using temperature and pressure
conversions supplied with the test unit technical data. If there are no conversion graphs provided
with the test unit, and the air flow indicator reads cubic feet per minute directly, use the Flow Rate
Correction Graph to compensate for ambient temperature and pressure in the cabin and obtain
a SCFM reading (Ref. Figure 105).
(16) If the 4.3 psi is maintained with a maximum flow rate of 67 SCFM, the pressure vessel of the
airplane is satisfactorily air tight.
(17) If the flow rate is exceeded, listen for pressure leaks in the following areas:
NOTE: Leaks can be detected by sound and pinpointed by feel. It may be necessary to
attain maximum pressure, then shut down the test unit so the sound of the blower
will not interfere with the detection of leaks in the pressure vessel.
WARNING: Never open the cabin door, cargo door, flight compartment
windows, escape hatches, or access panels while the cabin
is pressurized.
(21) Depressurize the airplane completely. On the TRONAIR Cabin Pressurization Unit, turn the air
control valve to full decrease position to dump pressure. When the rate-of-climb indicator is at
the horizontal position and the pressure gage reads zero, the cabin is depressurized.
(22) Disconnect the pressure hose(s) from the airplane.
(23) Disconnect the sense line from the airplane.
(24) Remove the safety net from the cabin door.
(25) Remove the safety straps from the cargo door.
(26) Connect all bleed air plumbing, if disconnected.
(a) Connect the vacuum (relay) line (9) to the T-fitting (12) that connects the outflow valves
(10) (Ref. Figure 103).
(b) Connect the flexible bleed air hose (1) to the bleed air manifold fitting (2) (Ref. Figure 104).
(c) Locate the AN bulkhead fitting mounted on the pressure bulkhead immediately below the
tube assembly of the vacuum regulator. Connect both caps on the fitting, one inside the
flight compartment and one inside the avionics compartment.
(27) Remove the test leads from the bleed air control module (A317), if installed.
WARNING: Comply with standard FAA regulations for oxygen usage when
performing this test.
(1) Fly the airplane at an altitude of 13,000 to 15,000 feet.
(2) The pilot should select 11,000 feet cabin altitude on the Cabin Pressure Controller.
(3) Set a hand held certified altimeter to 29.92 in. Hg. As the cabin altitude rises, the pilot will note
the cabin altitude at which the CABIN ALT HI annunciator light illuminates. The annunciator light
shall illuminate at 9,500 to 10,000 feet altitude.
(4) The pilot shall then select a cabin altitude below 8,000 feet.
(5) As the cabin altitude decreases, the pilot will note the cabin altitude at which the annunciator
light extinguishes. The annunciator light shall extinguish before 8,500 feet altitude.
(6) The pressure switch must be replaced if it does not meet these specifications. Perform the

1. General
To heat the airplane, hot air is bled from the P3 stage of the engine compressor. The hot air from the
compressor passes through a precooler that reduces the temperature to 450°F before entering the
ducting to the air cycle machine (ACM) and air cycle machine (ACM) bypass valve (E159). The precooled
bleed air enters the cabin ductwork through either or both of the ACM and the ACM bypass valve. When
heating is required, upon receiving a heat command from the cabin temperature control (E160), the ACM
bypass valve begins opening to bypass the ACM and directing the hot bleed air through the distribution
ducting to heat the cabin and flight compartment. When the ACM bypass valve is fully open, a switch in
the valve opens to shut off power to the valve motor and directs the power to the heat-cool command
relay (K205) which cuts off power to the vapor cycle air conditioning system if it is operating. As the cabin
temperature controller starts to issue cool commands, the ACM bypass valve begins closing. When the
ACM bypass valve is fully closed, the entire bleed air flow is directed through the ACM which begins
cooling the hot bleed air for circulation to the passenger and flight compartments.

HEATING - TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Procedures
Faults in the heating system will usually result in the faulty operation of other environmental systems as
well. Since the functions of the bypass valve is closely interfaced with the vapor cycle system and
temperature controls and dependent upon the proper function of the environmental bleed air system,
troubleshooting of the bypass valve is the primary concern.
The troubleshooting Tables 101 and 102 will help the technician to differentiate between heating
malfunctions which are most likely to be traced to faults in other environmental systems and heating
malfunctions which are the direct fault of the ACM bypass valve.
1. General
Cabin cooling is accomplished in part by the air cycle system. Air cycle system cooling is augmented by
cooling from the vapor cycle system. Automatic control of both systems is accomplished through the
cabin temperature controller (E160) and it's associated secondary controls. The intent of this Chapter is
to aid the technician in determining to which cooling system a fault can be traced in the event of cooling
failure. Due to the complex interplay between systems, it will not always be apparent which system is
malfunctioning.
The troubleshooting portion of this Chapter will assist the technician in narrowing down faults and will
direct the technician to troubleshoot a particular system. Chapters 21-51-00 and 21-52-00 deal with
troubleshooting and maintenance of the air cycle system and the vapor cycle system respectively. Chapter
21-60-00 contains troubleshooting and maintenance information for the temperature controlling system.

COOLING - TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Procedures
Differential troubleshooting of the cabin cooling system is primarily a matter of ruling out a malfunction
in one system or the other. Assessment of vapor cycle system operation was determined to be the
simplest approach (Ref. Table 101).
1. General
The air cycle system consists of an air cycle machine (ACM), dual heat exchanger, water collector, fog
nozzle/ inline filter assembly and a recirculating ejector. The amount of cooling supplied by the air cycle
system is controlled by varying the amounts of hot air which bypass portions of the air cycle machine.
Control over this ACM bypass flow is a function of the temperature control system. The heat exchanger
and the air cycle machine are mounted together to form an integral unit (Ref. Figure 1 and 2).
Hot engine P3 bleed air is precooled to 450°± 25°F by the precooler located just aft of the engine oil
cooler in the lower aft cowling. This precooled bleed air becomes cooled further as it flows through the
primary section of the ACM heat exchanger. The primary cooled air then enters the air cycle machine
compressor which raises the air pressure and temperature. The compressed air returns to the secondary
section of the heat exchanger where the heat of compression is removed. The bleed air then enters the
turbine section of the air cycle machine where it is cooled by expansion across the turbine nozzles. This
expanding air also drives the air cycle machine turbine. The driven turbine in turn drives the compressor
rotor and the fan rotor.
The air cycle machine fan draws cooling air from the ambient air inlet located on the underside of the left
center wing, through the cooling air passage ways in both the primary and secondary section of the heat
exchanger and discharges the cooling air overboard. The ambient air flowing through the primary and
secondary sections of the heat exchanger absorbs heat from the bleed air circuits.
As a result of cooling, moisture condensation occurs in the secondary section of the heat exchanger
upstream of the air cycle machine turbine section. The condensed moisture is collected by a water
collector, routed to a fog nozzle and is sprayed into the ambient air inlet of the secondary section of the
heat exchanger where it assists in cooling bleed air temperature by evaporation.
The recirculating ejector is a welded aluminum tube with two inlets. The first inlet accepts conditioned
bleed air from the turbine outlet of the air cycle machine. The second inlet provides for the entry into the
cabin of the mixed conditioned and recirculated cabin air. An electrical heater (E184) surrounds the bleed
air duct at the turbine air inlet discouraging any ice accumulation inside the cold air duct

1. Procedures
Troubleshooting of the air cycle system is a fairly simple task as generally air cycle system cooling
problems can be traced to faults in other environmental subsystems. Table 101 presents a logical
approach to troubleshooting of the air cycle system.

inlet and the fog nozzle/filter assembly; however, should a fault develop in the air cycle
machine or heat exchanger, removal of the air cycle machine and heat exchanger assembly
would be required.

23) or Pins 1 and 2 (UE-24 and After). Replace the recirculating ejector heater if the resistance
reads other than 10.37 to 11.46 ohms.
(9) Connect the recirculating ejector heater to the airplane harness connector (P439).
(10) Install wing access panel 511AT (Ref. Chapter 6-50-00, WING ACCESS PANELS - TOP
SURFACE).
1. General
A. Operation
(1) The vapor cycle cooling system utilizes refrigerant R-12 (airplanes UE-1 thru UE-143 without
Kit No. 129-5020 installed) or R-134a (airplanes UE-144 and after and prior airplanes with Kit
No. 129-5020 installed) to provide cooling when the airplane is on the ground and to provide
supplemental cooling when the air cycle cooling system is performing at maximum levels.
A compressor, a condenser with a 40,000-BTU capacity, and two 12,500-BTU evaporators
are utilized to cycle the refrigerant from a gaseous to a liquid state to provide cooling of the
passenger compartment and flight compartment. Adjustable air outlets, located adjacent to the
cabin armrests and in the flight compartment overhead panel, distribute cool air produced by
the vapor cycle cooling system.
(2) The temperature control switches used to control the air cycle cooling system are also used
to control the vapor cycle cooling system. The cabin temperature mode switch (S6), the cabin
temperature selector (R1), and the manual temperature control switch (S5) are located on the
copilot's inboard subpanel (A224). Refer to 21-60-00 for further information on the operation of
the temperature controls.
(3) The compressor is equipped with an electric clutch and a relief valve and is installed in
the accessory gearbox section of the right engine. The discharge line of the compressor is
connected to the condenser, located adjacent to its blower in the right center wing forward
of the front spar. The receiver-dryer removes moisture from the refrigerant and is located
under the center aisle floor in line with the third cabin window. The two evaporators and the
corresponding blowers are located under the center aisle floorboards. The forward evaporator
and blower are in line with the first cabin window and the aft evaporator and blower are in
line with the sixth cabin window. The blowers distribute cool air to the adjustable air outlets
in the cabin and flight compartment. Refer to Chapter 21-20-00 for further information on the
blowers and vapor cycle cool air distribution. A sight gage, an overpressure cutout switch, an
underpressure cutout switch, and service valves are installed in the refrigerant lines located in
a service box that is accessible through a door in the underside of the fuselage. The service
box is in line with the wing flaps. Reset switches for the pressure cutout switches are located in
the avionics compartment and are accessible through the left avionics door.
(4) When the 40° OAT limit switch (S259) is closed and the right engine speed exceeds 62% N1,
the vapor cycle cooling system can be actuated by the air cycle cooling system (see Figure 2).
The 40° OAT limit switch will be closed when ambient temperature, as sensed in the condenser
cooling air inlet in the center wing right leading edge, is high enough to allow cooling of the
airplane cabin (50°±5°F). When the ACM bypass valve (E159) closes and the 40° OAT limit
switch is closed, the "cool" coil of the heat-cool command relay (K205) is energized, and power
is supplied to the cool command input of the N1 speed sensor PCB (A130). The compressor
clutch is then allowed to engage 10 seconds after the right engine speed increases above 62%
N1. When the right landing gear downlock switch is closed (the landing gear is extended) a
ground circuit is completed and energizes the coil of the condenser blower relay. Power is then
supplied to the condenser blower and the blower moves air through the condenser and out the
vent in the underside of the wing. When the airplane is in flight and the downlock switch is
not closed (the landing gear is up), the condenser is cooled by the flow of ram air that enters
through the inlet in the right center wing leading edge. When the cabin has been cooled to
a preset temperature and the ACM bypass valve reaches full open, the cool coil of the heat-
cool command relay is de-energized and the heat coil of the relay is energized. Power is then
removed from the compressor clutch and it disengages.
(5) If the N1 speed of the right engine falls below 62% while the vapor cycle cooling system is
operating, power will be removed from the compressor clutch and it will disengage. See Figure
2. This compressor cutout avoids overloading the engine when it is operating at low speeds. If
the right engine speed is above 62% N1 but ambient temperature falls below 30°±5°F, the 40°
OAT limit switch in the condenser air inlet will open and the clutch will disengage to prevent icing
of the system components. Since low idle for this model is 68% N1 the above mentioned 62%
N1 limit should not be encountered in normal operation.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
(6) The condenser blower relay (K3) is located in the right nacelle on the right electric equipment
panel (A185). The heat-cool command relay (K205) is located under the cabin center aisle
floorboard 163BTC aft of the wing front spar. The N1 speed sensor is located under the cabin
center aisle floorboard 143ATC in line with the front row of passenger seats. Refer to Chapter
21-40-00 for further information on the ACM bypass valve.
(7) When the electric clutch on the compressor is engaged, the refrigerant is compressed into a
high pressure, high temperature gas. As this gas is pumped through the condenser, cooling
air is vented across the condenser and removes heat from the gas, condensing it into a liquid
state (see Figure 1). This liquid refrigerant passes through the receiver-dryer where moisture
and impurities are removed. The refrigerant is then metered by the thermostatic expansion
valves (TEV) and flows into the evaporators. Heat from recirculating cabin air is absorbed by
the refrigerant in the evaporators and the liquid refrigerant evaporates into a gas. Vent blowers
draw the recirculating air through the coils in the forward and aft evaporator assemblies. This
gas is returned to the compressor where it is compressed into the higher pressure discharge
gas.
B. Hot Gas Bypass Valves
A temperature sensing switch is installed on the outlet line of each evaporator. If the temperature of
the refrigerant outlet line is 33°F or below, the switch opens a solenoid valve in a hot gas line containing
discharge gas from the compressor. This hot gas bypasses the condenser and the expansion valves
and flows directly into the evaporator to prevent moisture from freezing on the evaporator. When the
temperature in the evaporator outlet line reaches 45°F, the thermoswitch closes the hot gas bypass
valve and refrigerant flow is returned to its normal flow through the condenser and the expansion
valves.
C. Pressure Cutout Switches
If the discharge pressure in the system increases beyond a safe limit (390 ±10 psi), the overpressure
cutout switch (S260) will open, removing power from the compressor clutch. If the suction pressure in
the refrigerant line falls below a preset limit (2.5 ±0.5 psi), the low-pressure cutout switch (S256) will
close and cause the thermal relay to open. When the thermal relay opens, power is removed from the
compressor clutch. If power has been removed from the clutch by an open cutout switch, the switch
must be reset to allow the compressor clutch to engage. The reset switches are located on a shelf
near the top of the avionics compartment and are accessible through the left avionics compartment
door.
D. Vent Blowers
The vent blowers, forward (B106) and aft (B112), are controlled by the vent blower switch (S4) and
the cabin temperature mode switch (S6). Both switches are located on the copilot's inboard subpanel.
The blowers will operate in the high speed or the low speed when the cabin temperature mode switch
is set to each position. When the blower switch is set to AUTO, the vent blowers will operate in the
low speed when the mode switch is set to each position except OFF. The control of these blowers
is independent of all other components of the environmental system. Refer to Chapter 21-20-00 for
further information on the blowers and their relays.
E. Pressure Relief Valve
A pressure relief valve is installed on the discharge service port of the compressor to protect the
compressor from an overpressure condition. The valve relieves pressure at 450 psig.

1. Procedures
Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 of the previous section, and the Tables and Figures 101, 102, 103, 104,
105, 106, 107, 108, and 109 in this section to troubleshoot the vapor cycle cooling system.
The following are some sample fault conditions and suggested corrective actions. For approximate
normal operating pressures for R-134a refrigerant in the beech 1900D airliner vapor cycle system, refer
to R-134a VAPOR CYCLE SYSTEM SUCTION & DISCHARGE PRESSURES VERSUS AMBIENT
TEMPERATURES illustration in the MAINTENANCE PRACTICES section of this Chapter. The charted
pressures are based on conditions in which the cabin door(s) are open and the cabin is heat soaked to
near ambient temperature. All the cabin eyeball air outlets are open and the right engine is operated at
about 70% N1. Pressures may then be noted after they stabilize (about 5 minutes).

Compressor Malfunction
Figure 109 (Sheet 1)
WARNING: Due to air quality control regulations being enacted in the United
States, R-12 and R-134a refrigerant cannot be vented into the
atmosphere. When performing maintenance on the vapor cycle
system where refrigerant can escape from the system, evacuate
the system with only a recovery or recycle servicing unit that will
salvage the refrigerant.
(1) The vapor cycle system is a high pressure system. Before disconnecting a refrigerant line,
depressurize the system with a recycle servicing unit (9, Table 1, 21-00-00).
(3) When connecting aluminum fittings in the system, tighten all 5/8-inch fittings to 18 to 20 foot-
pounds and all 1/2-inch fittings to 11 to 13 foot-pounds.
NOTE: The receiver-dryer should be the last component connected. It should be connected
last to ensure maximum protection of the vapor cycle system against moisture.
NOTE: Do not use bubbles in the sight glass as an indication of undercharge with the R-134a
refrigerant. A system fully charged with R-134a may still exhibit bubbles or cloudiness in the
sight glass. Use the pressure graph as an indication of proper charge.
If a connection does not seal by the normal tightening procedures, the use of soft flare gaskets in the
flare fitting is permissible. If a leak occurs at a flare fitting containing a soft seal, replacement of
the fitting is recommended.
Copper gaskets should be used in copper and brass fittings and aluminum gaskets should be
used in aluminum fittings. Minor leakage of less than 2 ounces per year is permissible at
the compressor shaft seal.
If a loss of refrigerant is suspected, the system plumbing should be inspected to determine the source of
the leak. Large leaks can be located by the appearance of oily spots where oil has been carried out by
escaping refrigerant. Smaller leaks can be detected by the following tests:
A. Detergent Test
The system must contain a partial charge in order to detect leaks. The detergent test is accomplished
by applying soap solution to an area suspected of leaking. Bubbles may form if leaks are present.
B. Electronic Detector Test
An electronic detector includes a probe that is moved along the plumbing to detect escaping
refrigerant. The probe should be held below the line because the refrigerant is heavier than air. The
probe should be capable of detecting leaks equal to 1/2 ounce per year and will emit a flashing light
or a high-pitched sound when escaping refrigerant is detected.
C. Red Leak Detector Dye Additive
NOTE: Do not inject red leak detector dye into a system containing Fluoro-Lite leak detector dye.
(1) R-12 systems (UE-1 thru UE-143 without Kit 129-5020 installed)
It is permissible to add 1/4 ounce of Trace leak detector dye (9, Table 2, 21-00-00) for every 10
ounces of oil into the low pressure service port. A red film will appear in the area where leaks
are present.
(2) R-134a systems (UE-144 and after and prior airplanes with Kit 129-5020 installed)
It is permissible to add 1/4 ounce of Trace2 leak detector dye (25, Table 2, 21-00-00) for every
10 ounces of oil into the low pressure service port. A red film will appear in the area where leaks
are present.
D. Yellow/Green Leak Detector Dye Additive (Preferred)
CAUTION: For airplanes UE-401 and After, Fluoro-Lite leak detector dye is installed
in the system. For airplanes prior to UE-401, red Trace or Trace2
leak detector dye may have been installed. For installation of the
Fluoro-Lite leak detector dye into a system containing some other type
of dye already, perform the CLEANING THE VAPOR CYCLE SYSTEM
procedures prior to installing the Fluoro-Lite dye.Other prepackaged
forms of Fluoro-Lite dye are available. However, these other forms of
dye may not be of the same concentration. Contact your supplier for
the proper quantity to use.
(1) R-12 Systems (UE-1 thru UE-143 without Kit 129-5020 installed)
A Fluoro-Lite leak detector dye (23, Table 2, 21-00-00) may be added by either premixing with
the oil (3, Table 2, 21-00-00) or directly inserting it slowly into the low pressure service port by an
injector (11, Table 1, 21-00-00). Add 1/4 ounce of dye for every 10 ounces of oil in the system.
For leak inspection, scan all fittings and components using a hand-held ultraviolet or UV/blue
lamp (12, Table 1, 21-00-00). All exposed leaks will appear bright yellow/green.
(2) R-134A Systems (UE-144 and after and prior airplanes with Kit 129-5020 installed)
A Fluoro-Lite leak detector dye (22, Table 2, 21-00-00) may be added by either premixing with
the oil (19, Table 2, 21-00-00) or directly inserting it slowly into the low pressure service port
by an injector (10, Table 1, 21-00-00). Add 1/4 ounce of dye for every 10 ounces of oil in the
system. For leak inspection, scan all fittings and components using a hand-held ultraviolet or
UV/blue lamp (12, Table 1, 21-00-00). All exposed leaks will appear bright yellow/green.
3. Vapor Cycle System Component Repair/replacement
If a component is being repaired or replaced that, when removed, causes loss of pressurization, complete
the following Steps:
(a) Set the right engine speed to 68% N1 and set the temperature mode and control switches to operate
the charged system at maximum cooling levels for at least 10 minutes.
(b) Turn off the refrigerant system, shutdown the engine, and evacuate the system with a recycle
servicing unit (this salvages the refrigerant for future use).
(c) When the pressure is between 0 and 5 psi, remove the oil fill plug from the compressor and check
the oil level by inserting a rod into the compressor crankcase. It may be necessary to rotate the
compressor pulley to ensure that the rod bottoms on the crankcase and not on the compressor
shaft. The level should be between 3 and 3.5 inches below the top of the compressor case.
(d) To obtain the correct level of oil, add 500-viscosity oil (3, Table 2, 21-00-00) on airplanes UE-1
thru UE-143 without Kit 129-5020 installed. Replenish the system with RL 100S refrigerant oil (19,
Table 2, 21-00-00) on airplanes UE-144 and After and prior airplanes with Kit 129-5020 installed.
NOTE: Replacement compressors contain 4 ounces of oil when delivered. The system
contains a factory oil charge of 31 ounces total. If the compressor is replaced, drain
the old compressor and measure the amount of oil collected. Add one ounce to this
measurement to determine the amount of new oil to add to the new compressor
after the oil is drained from the new compressor. This method maintains the same
amount of oil in the system. Additional oil may be needed to replace oil lost through
evacuation, leakage or component replacement.
Compressors containing inappropriate oil can be drained and refilled with the desired oil.
NOTE: If the compressor is damaged, discard it. If the compressor is being reused, set it aside
to drain the oil while the plumbing and coils are being flushed.
If the system has been contaminated by a damaged compressor or receiver-dryer, the coils
may need to be removed and flushed individually.
9. Charging the Vapor Cycle System (UE-1 thru UE-143 Not Equipped With Kit 129-5020)
CAUTION: Use only R-12 refrigerant (10, Table 2, 21-00-00) to charge the
air-conditioning system.
The system should be charged when:
(a) A reduction of system cooling ability and a decline in system pressures, or the presence of bubbles
in the refrigerant as seen through the sight glass indicates that the refrigerant quantity is low (Ref.
Figure 202).
(b) Leaks have been detected in the system.
(c) Air has entered the system.
(d) Components that carry refrigerant have been replaced.
The vapor cycle system should be serviced by a qualified air-conditioning service person with R-12
refrigerant. Refrigerant service valves are located in the underside of the fuselage in a service box that
is in line with the flaps. It is recommended that the service unit used for charging be equipped with a
supply cylinder heated to maintain sufficient pressure to force refrigerant into the system without operating
the compressor. If a heated cylinder is not available, the system may be charged without operating the
compressor by allowing refrigerant to flow into the system until equilibrium pressure is reached. After
equilibrium pressure is reached, allow the compressor to engage with the temperature control mode
switch (S6) set to MAN COOL and the right engine operating at approximately 68% N1. Add refrigerant
vapor to the suction side of the system.
The refrigerant should be added in vapor form to prevent compressor damage. After operating the
compressor until the bubbles disappear from the sight glass, add approximately 8 more ounces of
refrigerant to the suction port of the system. The pressure graph in Figure 202 may also be used as a
guide.
Charge an evacuated system with 5.3 pounds (85 ounces) of refrigerant. The system contains a factory
charge of 31 ounces of oil total.
10. Charging the Vapor Cycle System (UE-144 and After and Prior Airplanes With Kit 129-5020 Installed)
CAUTION: Use only R-134A refrigerant (20, Table 2, 21-00-00) to charge the
air-conditioning system.
The system should be charged when:
(a) A reduction of system cooling ability and a decline in system pressures indicates that the refrigerant
quantity is low (Ref. Figure 203).
(b) Leaks have been detected in the system.
(c) Air has entered the system.
(d) Components that carry refrigerant have been replaced.
The vapor cycle system should be serviced by a qualified air-conditioning service person with refrigerant
R-134a. Refrigerant service valves are located in the underside of the fuselage in a service box that is in
line with the flaps. It is recommended that the service unit used for charging be equipped with a supply
cylinder heated to maintain sufficient pressure to force refrigerant into the system without operating the
compressor. If a heated cylinder is not available, the system may be charged without operating the
compressor by allowing refrigerant to flow into the system until equilibrium pressure is reached. After
equilibrium pressure is reached, allow the compressor to engage with the temperature control mode
switch (S6) set to MAN COOL and the right engine operating at approximately 68% N1. Add refrigerant
vapor to the suction side of the system.
The refrigerant should be added in vapor form to prevent compressor damage. If adding refrigerant to a
partially charged system use the pressure graph in Figure 203 as a guide. If this method does not
yield satisfactory operation, evacuate the system and install the known proper amount of refrigerant. If
charging an evacuated system use 4.7 pounds (75 ounces) of refrigerant. The system contains a factory
charge of 31 ounces of oil total.
NOTE: Operating the air-conditioning system is not possible when the outside air temperature is below
50°F. The system may be serviced when the outside air temperature is below 50°F, but must
be disabled by pulling the compressor clutch circuit breaker (CB8), placing a placard near the
cabin temperature controls, and making an appropriate logbook entry. Once the outside air
temperature is above 50°F, the operational check may be performed and the system returned
to service.
This procedure can be used to evaluate the operational efficiency of the vapor cycle system. This check
should be performed only when the outside air temperature is above 50°F to insure that the 40°F OAT
limit switch (S259) is closed.
(a) Place thermometers, known to be accurate, in a forward cool air outlet and in an aft cool air outlet.
(b) Start the right engine and idle at 68% N1. Do not turn the environmental bleed air on.
(c) Place the cabin temperature mode switch (S6) in MAN COOL and the blower switch in HI.
(d) Take a cabin air temperature reading near the floor of the cabin, and after the temperature of the
air coming out of the cool air outlets has stabilized (5 to 10 minutes should be sufficient), record
the temperatures of the cool air outlet air.
(e) Subtract each of the temperature readings at the cool air outlets from the cabin air temperature
recorded earlier. A differential of 20°F at both cool air outlets would be indicative of a properly
operating vapor cycle system. High levels of humidity in the cabin air will reduce this temperature
differential.

Receiver-Dryer Installation
Figure 201 (Sheet 1)
1. General
A. The temperature of the cabin can be automatically controlled by presetting the cabin temperature
selector potentiometer (R1) to the desired temperature and setting the cabin temperature mode switch
(S6) to AUTO. The cabin temperature controller (E160) then sends the appropriate "heat" or "cool"
command to the air cycle machine (ACM) bypass valve (E159). A dual-element temperature sensor
(RT104) installed in the conditioned bleed air main duct completes the Wheatstone Bridge resistance
circuitry of the cabin temperature controller. When the cabin temperature falls, the Wheatstone Bridge
becomes unbalanced and current flows from the heat command output of the cabin temperature
controller. The ACM bypass valve receives the command and opens to allow more bleed air to enter
the conditioned bleed air ducts (Ref. Figure 1). See Figure 1 of 21-51-00 for schematic of valve and
air cycle machine. The bypass valve modulates the amount of bleed air flow in automatic response
to the requirements indicated by the changing resistance of the duct temperature sensors and the
temperature sensor located in the cabin temperature controller. The duct temperature sensors are
installed in the conditioned bleed air main duct in line with the third cabin window. The solid-state
cabin temperature controller is installed under the headliner in line with the fifth cabin window.
B. The temperature of environmental air can be controlled manually by setting the cabin temperature
mode switch to MAN and holding the manual temperature control switch (S5) to the INCR or the
DECR positions. When the manual control switch is set to INCR or DECR, power is supplied through
the CABIN TEMP CONTROL circuit breaker (CB83), the cabin temperature mode switch and the
manual switch to the bypass valve. When the switch is set to INCR, the ACM bypass valve opens,
allowing warm bleed air to flow through the floor outlets. The ACM bypass valve closes, as required,
to allow the air cycle system to cool the bleed air when the manual switch is set to DECR. If the manual
temperature control switch is held in the DECR position, the ACM bypass valve will close completely
to direct air through the air cycle machine for cooling of the cabin and to turn on the vapor cycle cooling
system (Ref. Figure 1).
C. All environmental temperature control switches and the cabin air temperature indicator are located on
the copilot's inboard subpanel.

1. Procedures
Troubleshooting of the environmental temperature control is outlined in Table 101.
NOTE: In order for the resistance measurements of the air temperature sensor to comply with
the readings shown on the graph in Figure 201, it is important that the temperature at the
location of the air temperature sensor be determined accurately.
If the temperature control of the heating and cooling systems is responding to manual control but is
not responding to automatic control, the fault may be found in the air temperature sensor (RT104) or
in the cabin temperature controller (E160). It is suggested that the air temperature sensor be tested
before testing the cabin temperature controller because the controller is more reliable.
The air temperature sensor is installed downstream of the manual valve in the conditioned bleed air
main duct. The air temperature sensor is in line with the third cabin window. One of the elements of
the air temperature sensor has been thermally insulated to provide a response that lags behind the
response of the noninsulated element. The lag in response prevents uncomfortably wide temperature
ranges that would be caused by the overshoot of cabin heating.
The air temperature sensor can be checked as follows:
(1) Remove the headliner panel in line with the fifth cabin window to gain access to the electrical
connector on the cabin temperature controller.
(2) Disconnect the electrical connector from the cabin temperature controller.
(3) Using the graph in Figure 201, determine the correct resistance corresponding to the
temperature measurement taken at the air temperature sensor location. Remove the right
floorboard (162AT) in line with the third cabin window and disconnect the duct adjacent to the
air temperature sensor to take temperature readings.
(4) Using a high precision ohmmeter (1, Table 1, 21-00-00) measure the resistance between pins "8"
and "11" on the connector of the cabin temperature controller. This resistance should correspond
to the resistance indicated on the line "AB" on the graph in Figure 201. The resistance measured
between pins "11" and "12" on the controller should correspond to the line "CD" on the graph.
Line "AB" represents the thermally lagged element.
(5) If the measured resistance from a sensing element varies from the resistance shown on the
graph by more than 1%, the air temperature sensor should be replaced.
(6) If the operation of the heating and cooling systems is abnormal or intermittent when the cabin
temperature mode switch (S6) is set to AUTO, the internal connections of the sensing elements
may be loose. An intermittent fault in the elements can be detected as follows:
(a) Operate the left engine of the airplane. Place the cabin temperature mode switch in the
MAN position. Hold the manual temperature control switch (S5) in the INCR position for
60 seconds.
(b) Monitor the resistive response of the element between pins "11" and "12" of the controller
while the temperature is increasing. If the resistance fluctuates or increases above 200
ohms, then the element may have an intermittent fault.
(c) Monitor the resistive response of the element between pins "8" and "11". Hold the manual
temperature control switch in the DECR position for 60 seconds. Any fluctuations in the
resistance readings may indicate a fault in the sensing elements or in the air temperature
sensor connection.
(7) If the air temperature sensor shows no indication of incorrect resistance and the heating and
cooling systems do not respond to automatic control, the cabin temperature controller should be
tested to determine if it is defective.
The temperature at the air inlet of the cabin temperature controller should be between 65°F and 85°F to
perform the test procedures. A test circuit connected as shown in Figure 202 can be used to test the
cabin temperature controller.
A. TestEquipment
(1) A 28-vdc, 2-amp power supply that is accurate within 1%.
(2) Two 22-ohm, 50-watt resistors (R1 and R2).
(3) A 100-ohm potentiometer with a direct reading dial (TR1).
(4) Two 100-ohm (±1%) potentiometers wired in series with two 100-ohm step decades (TR2 and
TR3).
(5) Two 28-vdc, 40-MA, MS25231-1819 lamps or equivalent (DS1 and DS2).
(6) An air temperature indicator (M1) equivalent to the airplane indicator.
(7) Connectors that mate with the cabin temperature controller and the air temperature gage. Refer
to the Wiring Diagram Manual for the appropriate part numbers.
B. Functional Test
(1) Remove the headliner panel immediately aft of the fifth cabin window to gain access to the cabin
temperature controller.
(2) Connect a power supply and test circuit to the cabin temperature controller (Ref. Figure 202).
(3) Set TR2 and TR3 (potentiometers) to 118 ohms and turn on the power supply to apply 28 vdc to
the controller. Adjust TR1 until DS1 and DS2 are not illuminated. The temperature gage should
indicate ambient temperature.
(4) Decrease the resistance on TR1 until DS2 begins to illuminate in pulses, then decrease the
resistance until DS2 illuminates continuously.
(5) Increase the resistance on TR1 until DS1 begins to pulse, then increase the resistance until
the lamp is illuminated continuously. Adjust the resistance for TR1 until DS1 and DS2 are not
illuminated.
(6) Set TR1 to 0 ohms and TR3 to 154 ohms; DS2 should illuminate continuously.
(7) Increase TR2 until DS1 pulses; TR2 should be 176 ± 2 ohms. Continue to increase the resistance
at TR2; DS1 should illuminate continuously.
(8) Set TR1 to 2.5 ohms, TR3 to 85 ohms, and TR2 to 100 ohms; DS1 should illuminate continuously.
Decrease TR2 until DS2 pulses; the resistance at TR2 should be 86.9 ±0.7 ohms. DS2 should
illuminate continuously when continuing to decrease the resistance at TR2.
(9) Shut off the power supply and disconnect the test circuit from the temperature controller.
(10) Ensure that the air flow across the controller is moving towards the fan (Ref. Figure 202).
If the controller does not perform as described above, the controller may be assumed to be
defective and must be replaced.

(4) Hold a thermometer, calibrated from 25°F to 125°F, close to the aft end of the cabin temperature
controller for two minutes.
(5) The cabin temperature indicator located on the instrument panel should read within 2°F of the
thermometer reading at the cabin temperature controller.
(6) Should the cabin temperature indicator reading be outside acceptable limits, within ± 2°F of
thermometer, remove the grey sealer from the small round adjustable potentiometer.
(7) Using a small blade screwdriver, adjust the potentiometer slowly until the cabin temperature
indicator agrees with the thermometer.
(8) Seal the potentiometer with sealer, Glyptol 1201 (12, Table 2, 21-00-00).
(9) Install the cover on the cabin temperature controller and return the airplane to service.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. General
A. Automatic Flight Control System
The Collins APS-65 Autopilot System is certified for use on this airplane. The Collins APS-65
Autopilot System is a 3-axis, digital autopilot with automatic elevator trim. As such, it is a combination
of sensors, electrical servos, guidance displays, mode selectors and computers which perform the
necessary flight computations. The system provides either full autopilot control of the airplane, with
simultaneous flight director monitoring when integrated with the flight director system, or manual
control by using the pitch and roll command control on the autopilot controller. When the autopilot is
disengaged, the pilot assumes control in response to the flight director display steering commands.
The yaw axis may be engaged independently of roll and pitch for use as a yaw damper.
For maintenance information on individual components, reference should be to the latest revision of
the appropriate manual. The following is a list of the various autopilot equipment manuals which may
be applicable.
• 331A-3G Course Indicator Overhaul Manual (Repair) (with illustrated parts list) 522-0762672
• ADF-462 Automatic Direction Finder System Maintenance Manual 523-0773913
• APC-65H/FGC-65 Autopilot Computer and Flight Guidance Computer Instruction Book (Repair)
523-0771868
• APP-65A Autopilot Panel Instruction Book (Repair) 523-0771874
• EFIS-84 Electronic Flight Instrument Systems Maintenance Manual 523-0775968
• SSS-65 Slip/Skid Sensor Instruction Book (Installation and Repair) 523-0771647
• SVO-65/SMT-65 ( ) Primary Servo and SMT-65 ( ) Servo Mount Instruction Book (Repair) 523-
0771890
The installations on the following pages are typical of the installations used in the airplane. Because
of the many variations of equipment and installations, your airplane may differ somewhat from the
illustrations; however, reference to the approximate locations of components as shown may be
beneficial during maintenance operations. For more specific information applicable to an individual
system, refer to the Beech Avionics Wiring Diagrams and to the appropriate vendor equipment
operator's manuals which are furnished with each airplane.
B. Aileron Servo
The aileron servo for the autopilot is mounted beneath the center aisle floorboard in the passenger
compartment just forward of the aft spar. Bridle cables from the servo capstan are connected to the
aileron quadrant. When the autopilot is engaged, the servo rotates to maintain automatic horizontal
control of the airplane.
NOTE: Improper cable tension may cause unstable or erratic response to autopilot signals.
C. Rudder Servo
The rudder servo for the autopilot is located in the tail section aft of the aft pressure bulkhead. The
bridle cable is wrapped around the servo capstan and connected to the main left rudder torque shaft
bell crank and the right rudder cable. When the yaw axis is engaged, the servo rotates in response
to autopilot signals to provide automatic directional control of the airplane.
NOTE: Improper cable tension may cause unstable or erratic response to autopilot signals.
D. Elevator Servo
The elevator servo for the autopilot is located in the tail section aft of the aft pressure bulkhead adjacent
to the rudder servo. Bridle cables wrapped around the servo capstan are connected to the primary
(up and down) elevator control cables. When the autopilot is engaged, the servo rotates to provide
automatic vertical control of the airplane.
NOTE: Improper cable tension may cause unstable or erratic response to autopilot signals.

A. Cabin Briefer
A passenger briefing system is installed in the airplane to communicate standard procedures to be
followed during various flight configurations of the airplane. The system consists of a controller in
the pedestal extension, and relays and a computer mounted on the floor beneath the copilot's seat.
A 6-position switch with positions for TAKEOFF, LANDING and TURBULENCE enables the flight
crew to convey computer prerecorded messages to the passengers as selected on the controller.
The STANDBY position turns the unit off, and the remaining two selector positions, OPTION
AND AUTOBRIEF, provide further information as requested by the owner and prerecorded by the
manufacturer. Refer to the manufacturer's user's manual furnished with the system installed for
instructions regarding use of these selector positions. When the selector is turned to any position
other than STANDBY, the unit is activated by pressing the SEND/CANCEL button. Messages may
be interrupted in progress by pressing the SEND/CANCEL button or by pressing the microphone key.
When the SEND/CANCEL button is pressed, the unit will return to the beginning of the interrupted
sentence, but if interrupted by the microphone key, the message will continue from the interrupted
point approximately 2 seconds after the key is released. Power to the unit is provided through a
2-ampere circuit breaker in the RH circuit breaker panel.

1. General
The audio integrating system consists of an audio control panel, two flight compartment speakers with
jacks for pilot and copilot headphones and microphones, dual audio amplifiers, a passenger speaker
amplifier and a supplemental aural warning tone generator.
The audio control panel provides control over both transmission and reception of all communication and
navigation equipment installed in the airplane. ON/OFF switches, selector switches and volume controls
are provided for pilot and copilot control of each individual audio system.
The two audio control amplifiers (DB-437) operate independently for the pilot and copilot systems. Both
units are mounted on a hinged shelf in the upper nose avionics compartment, adjacent to the passenger
speaker amplifier and the supplemental aural warning tone generator. Both audio control units are
remotely controlled electronic units which operate on command from switches and potentiometers on
the audio control panel on the avionics instrument panel in the flight compartment. A voice-activated
switch is incorporated into each unit in series with microphone input to reduce interphone noise, allowing
interphone operation without ambient noise when the crew is talking. Microphone audio is recorded at
all times on the cockpit voice recorder.
The passenger speaker amplifier (DB-207) provides chime tones and paging audio to the cabin speakers
and a signal to mute the stereo during paging. Aural warning tones to the cockpit headphones and
speaker amplifiers are provided for stall warning, landing gear warning, etc. The DB-207 is a remotely
controlled electronic unit which operates from flight compartment controls and fault detection equipment.
The aural warning tone generator (DB-605) provides additional warning tones to those of the existing
aural warnings provided by the passenger speaker amplifier (DB-207). The aural warning tone generator
also is a remotely controlled electronic unit which operates on command from fault detection equipment.
For additional information on the aural warning system refer to Chapter 31-50-00.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. General
A static electrical charge may build up on the surface of the airplane while it is in flight. This electrical
charge, if retained, can cause interference in radio, avionics and electrical equipment operation. Static
buildup can also effect an uncomfortable discharge through personnel disembarking from the airplane
after landing; therefore, static dischargers are installed on the trailing edges of the flight surfaces. The
static dischargers keep the build up of static charge at a minimum by continuously releasing it back into
the atmosphere. The static dischargers installed on the horizontal stabilizer tips and the horizontal
stabilizer forward bullet are 3.93 to 4 inches in length. The static dischargers installed on all other
locations are 6.30 to 6.37 inches in length.
Airplane serials UE-1 thru UE-326 that do not have Kit Nos. 114-4054 or 129-4023 installed have static
dischargers installed in the following places: two on each winglet, three on each aileron, three on
each elevator, four on the rudder, one on each tail-let, one on each stabilon, one on each horizontal
stabilizer tip, one on top of the horizontal stabilizer bullet, one on the aft horizontal stabilizer bullet and
one on each ventral strake.
Airplane serials UE-1 thru UE-326 that have Kit No. 114-4054 installed but do not have Kit No. 129-4023
installed and airplane serials UE-327 thru UE-379 that do not have Kit No. 129-4023 installed will have
only one or nether of the stabilons with a static dischargers attached.
Airplane serials UE-1 thru UE-326 that have Kit Nos. 114-4054 and 129-4023 installe d and airplane
serials UE-327 thru UE-379 that have Kit No. 129-4023 installed and airplane serials UE-380 and after
will not have static dischargers installed on the rudder or on the forward bullet. Only one or neather of the
stabilons will have a static discharger attached.
NOTE: Due to the weight difference of available static dischargers, it is recommended that all static
dischargers on a control surface be of the same type and brand to avoid balancing the control
surface for each discharger replacement.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. Procedures
When there is a noticeable or a suspected buildup of static effects due to precipitation or if a lightning
strike has occurred, an inspection must be accomplished. Perform the inspection procedure for the static
dischargers and control surface bonding jumpers (Ref. Model 1900 Airliner Series Corrosion Control
Manual, P/N 114-590021-197, Chapters 23-60-01 and 23-60-02).
1. Static Discharger
A. Inspection
The static dischargers should be inspected at the proper interval (Ref. Chapters 05-20-02 and 05-20-
07). To functionally check, measure the resistance of the static discharger with a megohmmeter (1,
Table 2, 23-00-00) at a minimum of 500 volts, a lesser test voltage will not generate a leakage rate
sufficient to provide an accurate reading.
When there is a noticeable or a suspected buildup of static effects due to precipitation or if a lightning
strike has occurred perform the inspection procedure for the static dischargers and control surface
bonding jumpers (Ref. Model 1900 Airliner Series Corrosion Control Manual, P/N 114-590021-197,
Chapters 23-60-01 and 23-60-02).
NOTE: To ensure the best possible functioning of the static dischargers, the resistance between
the mounting base of the static discharger and the central grounding point must be 0.1
ohm or less. The resistance between the mounting base of static dischargers mounted
on composite surfaces such as the tail lets and stabilons to the central grounding point
should be 20 ohms or less. If resistances in excess of this amount are encountered, the
mounting base should be removed and replaced. The resistance between the control
surface on which the static discharger is attached and the central ground point must
be less than 0.01 ohm. In order to make these small resistance measurements use
a milliohmmeter (2, Table 2, 23-00-00).
NOTE: The static discharger base mounts need not be removed unless the resistance
requirements under the TO CHECK RESISTANCE BETWEEN DISCHARGER BASE
MOUNT AND AIRFRAME section of the corrosion control manual are not met (Ref.
Model 1900 Airliner Series Corrosion Control Manual, P/N 114-590021-197, Chapters
23-60-01 and 23-60-02).
Static dischargers on the stabilons are installed in tubes which are bonded into the stabilon
tips. Special procedures are required for replacement of these mounts which are covered
separately under STABILON STATIC DISCHARGER BASE MOUNT REPLACEMENT
procedures in this section.
(2) Remove the screws and lock washers securing the base mount to the surface.
(3) Remove the base mount from the surface.
C. Base Mount Installation (On Aluminium Surfaces)
(1) Clean an area slightly larger than the area to be bonded (minimum 0.25 inch) by removing all
non-conductive material such as films, grease, oil, paints, metal finishes or other high resistance
elements with 3M No. 600 grit sandpaper or equivalent, and solvent (5, Table 1, 23-00-00). The
mating surface must be smooth and contoured so that maximum surface area is in contact.
NOTE: An acceptable substitute for the preceding may be used in accordance with
MIL-B-5087B (Bonding, Electrical and Lightning Protection for Aerospace Systems).
The alodine solution should have an amber color. If the solution is coffee colored it has
been contaminated. Repeat the cleaning procedure if contaminated alodine has
been applied to the bonding surface.
(2) Shake the coating (3, Table 1, 23-00-00) vigorously just prior to application, then apply to the
bonding surface with a clean Scotch Brite pad, sponge, brush or cloth.
(3) Keep the treated area wet with coating for approximately 3 to 5 minutes until a yellow color
develops. Should the coating not change color, it is an indication that the surface was not
properly cleaned.
NOTE: The bonding surfaces must be assembled within one hour of coating treatment.
Once dried, coating must be softened before it can be effectively used in bonding.
If more than an hour has passed, soften the coating by applying wet coating to
the dried surface.
(4) After the coating has changed color rinse the area with clean, deionized water and gently wipe
dry. Touch-up any areas where the coating does not cover the bonding surface. Care must be
taken not to damage the coating as it is still soft when bonding.
(5) Install the static discharger base mount, using the attaching screws and washers, onto
the aluminum surface. Perform the Steps for the TO CHECK RESISTANCE BETWEEN
DISCHARGER BASE MOUNT AND AIRFRAME section of the corrosion control manual (Ref.
Model 1900 Airliner Series Corrosion Control Manual, P/N 114-590021-197, Chapters 23-60-01
and 23-60-02).
(6) Perform the STATIC DISCHARGER INSTALLATION procedure.
(7) Perform STATIC DISCHARGER INSPECTION procedure in this section.
(8) Finish the surface area around the base mount attachment point with the original finish or a clear
lacquer (7, Table 1, 23-00-00).
D. Stabilon Mount Replacement
(1) Carefully remove the static discharger attach tube from the stabilon tip and clean out the hole to
0.19 inch diameter.
(2) Fill the hole with conductive adhesive (6, Table 1, 23-00-00) using a probe to help spread the
adhesive evenly inside of the hole.
(3) Apply conductive adhesive liberally to the outside diameter of the tube and insert the tube into
the hole until the end is flush with the trailing edge of the stabilon.
NOTE: Assure that the threads in the tube are protected from the adhesive as static
discharger installation could be hampered.
(4) Allow the adhesive to dry according to the adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
(5) After the adhesive is cured perform the Steps for the TO CHECK RESISTANCE BETWEEN
DISCHARGER BASE MOUNT AND AIRFRAME section of the corrosion control manual (Ref.
Model 1900 Airliner Series Corrosion Control Manual, P/N 114-590021-197, Chapter 23-60-02).
(6) Perform the STATIC DISCHARGER INSTALLATION procedure in this section.
(7) Perform STATIC DISCHARGER INSPECTION procedure in this section.
NOTE: Do not file, grind, sand or otherwise remove material from the surface. Clean with alcohol
only.
(1) Abrade with 180 grit sandpaper or finer to roughen the surface resin uniformly without damaging
the underlying fiber.
(2) Remove dust by vacuum and wipe the surface using a lint-free cleaning cloth (8, Table 1, 23-00-
00) dampened with isopropyl alcohol. Wipe in one direction until non-composite contaminants
are gone from surface. Wipe surface dry without letting alcohol evaporate.
(3) Install the static discharger base mount onto the composite surface. Perform the Steps for the
TO CHECK RESISTANCE BETWEEN DISCHARGER BASE MOUNT AND AIRFRAME section
of the corrosion control manual (Ref. Model 1900 Airliner Series Corrosion Control Manual, P/N
114-590021-197, Chapters 23-60-01 and 23-60-02).
(4) Perform the STATIC DISCHARGER INSTALLATION procedure in this section.
(5) Perform STATIC DISCHARGER INSPECTION procedure in this section.
(6) Finish the surface area around the base mount attachment point with the original finish.
F. Static Discharger Removal
(1) Static dischargers may be removed by turning the threaded discharger assemblies
counterclockwise until they are disconnected from the base. The static discharger base
mounts need not be removed unless the resistance requirements under the TO CHECK
RESISTANCE BETWEEN DISCHARGER BASE MOUNT AND AIRFRAME section of the
corrosion control manual are not met (Ref. Model 1900 Airliner Series Corrosion Control
Manual, P/N 114-590021-197, Chapters 23-60-01 and 23-60-02).
(2) If the static discharger is to be reused, do not discard the lock washer installed on each static
discharger.
G. Static Discharger Installation
NOTE: When installing new static discharger assemblies, discard the lock nut which is installed
on each new static discharger assembly. This lock nut is used merely as a retainer nut to
ensure against loss of the lock washer.
(1) To ensure proper function of the static dischargers, all threaded connections should be cleaned
with cleaner (4, Table 1, 23-00-00) prior to installation of the static dischargers.
(2) Apply one drop of Locktite 222 thread locker to the threads of the discharger and insert the
threaded connection, with the lock washer installed, into the base mount. Screw the discharger
in by hand until the lock washer is completely compressed.
1. General
A. Cockpit Voice Recorder
(1) The voice recorder installed in the airplane consists of four main components: a control unit
mounted in the pedestal extension, a remote microphone in the glareshield and a recorder
unit and impact switch mounted beneath the center aisle floorboards just forward of the cargo
compartment. The cockpit voice recorder has four separate input channels to record all voice
communications received or transmitted in the crew compartment. An underwater locator
beacon is attached to the front of the recorder for easy removal and for easy viewing of the
battery expiration date. The locator beacon must be functionally tested every 24 months to
ensure proper operation. Electrical power to the recorder is provided by the triple fed bus and
circuit protection is provided by a 5-ampere circuit breaker in the RH circuit breaker panel. The
impact switch, located just forward of F.S. 408.250 and the recorder unit, interrupts electrical
power to the recorder on impact to prevent erasure of tape or memory. The control unit provides
a bulk erase feature with an interlock through the ground squat switch to prevent accidental
erasure. The control unit also has a test switch, test indicator and a monitor jack.
(2) The airplane may be equipped with any one of various recorders. All provide for at least 30
minutes of all voice communications received or transmitted from the crew compartment. Input
to the cockpit voice recorder is from the following four sources: Channel 1 - Pilot and copilot
transmissions over the cabin pager or automatic cabin briefer. Channel 2 - Copilot's audio, boom,
mask and hand-held microphone input. Channel 3 - Pilot's audio, boom, mask and hand-held
microphone input. Channel 4 - Cockpit area microphone.
(3) The headset monitor jack on the control panel provides a means of monitoring all audio data that
is being input to the cockpit voice recorder to ensure that it is receiving proper audio signals.
(4) The erase switch may be used to erase the entire recording after a routine flight, and will only
work when the landing gear is down and the weight of the airplane is on the landing gear. To
prevent accidental erasures, a time delay circuit makes it necessary to hold the erase switch
down for two seconds to start the erasure process. If a headset is plugged into the control unit,
a proper erasure is indicated by a tone in the headset that occurs when the erase switch is
released. The tone will last for approximately 5 to 14 seconds depending upon the CVR unit
installed.
B. Cockpit Voice Recorder - A100A
(1) The four input channels are recorded on four tracks of continuous loop magnetic tape. The tape
retains 30 minutes of recording. Recordings beyond 30 minutes of continuous operation are
automatically erased.
(2) Press and hold the TEXT switch on the controller for a minimum of 5 seconds. This applies a
test tone to each of the four record channels for approximately 0.8 seconds each and should
result in the following indications if the recorder is operating correctly:
(a) A tone will be heard in the headset (if plugged into the control unit) and the needle will
move into the green arc on the meter.
(b) The tone and needle position will remain constant as long as the switch is pressed.
C. Cockpit Voice Recorder - A100S
(1) The four input channels are recorded in solid state memory that retains at least 30 minutes of
recording.
(2) Press and hold the TEST switch on the controller for a minimum of 5 seconds. This applies a

MODEL 1900D AIRLINER
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. General
Direct current for the airplane electrical system is supplied by two 30-volt, 300-ampere starter-generators
and either a 24-volt, 34-ampere hour battery or a 24-volt, 23-ampere hour battery. Alternating current
for certain engine instruments and selected avionic equipment is supplied by one of two AC inverters
(Ref. Figure 1).
A. DC Power
DC power from both generators and the battery is distributed to the various airplane systems by way
of the main buses (Ref. Figure 1). They consist of the LH and RH generator buses, the LH and RH
center buses, the battery bus, hot battery bus and triple-fed bus. Refer to the Model 1900D Airliner
Wiring Diagram Manual to locate specific components on each bus. The triple-fed bus is incorporated
in the system to provide a multi-fed source of electrical power to selected equipment. It receives power
from both generator buses and the battery through three blocking diodes. Output from each generator
is connected to its respective generator bus by a line contactor relay. During normal operation, the
buses are tied together by the bus tie relays. The bus tie relays are controlled by bidirectional high
current sensors; therefore, any bus can be isolated from the other buses should a fault condition exist
which would cause excess current flow through the bus system. The DC system incorporates the hot
battery bus to provide continuous current to selected lights and other equipment without the battery
switch ON.
Two DC loadmeters and a DC voltmeter are installed in the overhead meter panel for monitoring
generator output (Ref. Figure 2). The voltmeter and voltmeter select switch enable the crew to monitor
all bus voltages, including external power.
B. Starter Generators
Proper operation of the generators in parallel demands that they be properly controlled. Proper
control of the generators is the responsibility of the generator control panels (Ref. Figure 1).
The control panels not only provide the necessary control functions such as voltage regulation,
equalization and load sharing, but provide certain protective functions as well. Reverse current
protection, overvoltage protection, overexcitation protection and cross-start current overload
protection functions are all provided for by the control panel circuitry. Refer to 24-30-00 for detailed
information on the generator control panels.
C. Battery
The battery is located in the battery compartment at the top of the RH wing inboard leading edge (Ref.
Figure 16).
Battery power is controlled from the flight compartment by the battery switch located on the pilot's
outboard subpanel. When the battery switch is placed in the ON position, the battery relay closes,
connecting the battery to the triple-fed bus through a 60-ampere feeder limiter. Primary control of
the battery bus tie relay is through the battery switch. When the battery switch is placed in the ON
position, the battery bus tie relay closes, connecting battery voltage directly to the RH center bus (Ref.
Figure 1).
The hot battery bus is always powered by the battery when the battery is connected, and cannot be
isolated from the battery by the battery switch. All equipment connected to the hot battery bus is fed
through individual fuses located in the battery compartment. Refer to 24-31-00 for detailed information
on the battery power system.
D. AC Power
Selected avionic equipment and all AC powered engine instruments are powered by two "dual output"
inverters. These inverters are installed, one each, in the aft portion of each nacelle (Ref. Figure 19).
The inverters are brought on line with the left and right AC bus switches located on the left outboard
subpanel. When an inverter is selected ON, its respective power relay is energized to connect a DC
input from the generator bus to the selected inverter. The DC input is then converted to separate 26
VAC and 115 VAC outputs by the inverter (Ref. Figure 1).

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
An AC volt/frequency meter is located on the overhead meter panel to allow the crew to monitor
inverter output and performance (Ref. Figure 2). All of the AC operated components are designed
to operate within the voltage and frequency range shown on the meter. The AC volt/frequency meter
is wired to an AC meter inverter select to allow selection of the inverter to be monitored. Refer to
24-20-00 for detailed information on the AC power system.
E. External Power
The external power receptacle is located behind an access door on the lower surface of the left wing
inboard section and is used to connect external power to the airplane electrical system.
An external power switch is located on the left outboard subpanel. When the switch is placed in the
ON position, the external power relay closes and applies external power to both generator buses and
the left center bus. The bus ties connecting the battery and triple-fed buses will not close until the
battery switch has been placed in the ON position. An overvoltage sensor prevents the external power
relay from closing if voltage in excess of 32 vdc is applied at the external power receptacle. Refer to
24-40-00 for detailed information on the external power system.
F. Electrical Load Distribution
Electrical load distribution refers to the manner in which the airplane electrical loads are divided among
the primary buses. Each bus is broken down as to exactly what equipment is installed on that bus,
and a listing of the individual power requirements is included for each component. Refer to 24-50-00
for detailed information on both AC and DC electrical load distribution.
G. Starting and Ignition Systems
The starting and ignition circuits motor the engine and provide voltage to the igniters during engine
starts. If the starter only position is selected, the starter-generator can be used for motoring the
engine to clear the engine of excess fuel; however, under no circumstances should the intermittent
duty cycle for the starter-generator be exceeded. Refer to Chapter 80-00-00 for detailed information
on the starting system. Refer to Chapter 74-00-00 for detailed information on the ignition system.
Maintenance procedures for the starter-generator are in 24-30-00.
H. Electrical Panels
Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 5, Figure 6, Figure 7, Figure 8, Figure 9, Figure 10, Figure 11, Figure
12, Figure 13, Figure 14, Figure 15, Figure 16, Figure 17, Figure 18, and 19 locate the electrical
components and their respective panel assemblies. Refer to Chapter 6-40-00 to locate the zones
referenced by the following illustrations.
NOTE: Pictorial depictions in this chapter are representative of a typical airplane and do not
necessarily represent the configuration of every airplane.

Battery Compartment
Figure 201 (Sheet 1)
1. General
NOTE: Refer to 24-00-00 for a detailed illustration of all electrical equipment installed in the nacelle
inverter compartments.
A. Description
(1) The AC power system is installed on the airplane to provide power to selected avionic equipment
and certain engine instruments (Ref. Figures 1 and 2). There are two AC bus switches located
on the left outboard subpanel which allow the crew to select or transfer inverter operation, as
necessary, to maintain power on the AC buses. Each inverter has a power select relay, power
relay and four system circuit breakers mounted in its respective inverter compartment. The
inverters are termed "dual output" because they convert the DC input into separate 26 VAC and
115 VAC outputs. The red L AC BUS and R AC BUS warning annunciators are illuminated
anytime the respective AC bus warning light relay (K106 or K107) are de-energized. Each
warning annunciator extinguishes when an inverter 115 VAC output energizes the respective
AC bus warning light relay. Loadshed relays are installed in the system to disconnect the AC
loadshed buses in the event power is lost from the generator buses.
(2) A voltage/frequency meter is installed on the overhead meter panel to provide an indication of
inverter output voltage and frequency. A function button located adjacent to the lower LH corner
of the voltage/frequency meter is used to select the meter function. Frequency is indicated until
the function button is pressed, at which time inverter output voltage is indicated. An AC meter
inverter select switch (inboard of the volt/frequency meter) is used to transfer inverter outputs at
the AC voltage/frequency meter and allow monitoring of the desired inverter output.
(3) A cooling fan is installed in each nacelle to provide cooling for the inverters. These fans are wired
in parallel with the inverter power relays to provide automatic operation when the respective
inverter power relay is energized.
B. AC Circuit
(1) During normal operation, the inverter power select relays (K144 and K145) are energized to
connect voltage from the generator buses to the No. 1 and No. 2 inverter select switches (Ref.
Figures 1 and 2). Should a fault occur that interrupts power from either generator bus, the
respective inverter power select relay will de-energize and connect center bus voltage to the
inverter select switch. Power from the generator buses also keeps the No. 1 and No. 2 AC
bus loadshed relays (K150 and K151) energized. When power is interrupted from one of the
generator buses, the respective loadshed relay opens to disconnect the applicable AC loadshed
buses from the AC circuit, limiting inverter power consumption.
(2) When the No. 1 inverter select switch is placed in the ON position, bus voltage energizes the
No. 1 inverter power relay (K154) and provides a DC input to the No. 1 inverter. When the No.
2 inverter select switch is placed in the ON position, bus voltage energizes the No. 2 inverter
power relay (K155) and provides a DC input to the No. 2 inverter. Both inverters convert the
DC inputs into 26 VAC and 115 VAC outputs which are routed through the AC bus select relays
(K152 and K153) to power the AC buses and other selected equipment. The AC bus select
relays are open during normal operation of the AC system. Should an inverter fail, the inverter
select switch for the failed inverter may be moved to the TRANSFER position. This will energize
the applicable AC bus select relay and power the AC equipment normally powered by the failed
inverter with power from the operational inverter. The system design is such that it allows either
inverter to assume the entire AC electrical load by relay transfer, thereby providing a dual source
of AC power.

ensure proper inverter operation.
(7) Install the aft nacelle skin or access door with the attaching screws (Ref. Figure 201).
2. Inverter System
A failure in one of the inverter system circuits may be difficult to detect during normal operation of the
system; therefore, it is recommended that the following check be performed at the intervals specified in
Chapter 5-20-00. Results contrary to the following operational check indicate a malfunctioning system.
A. Operational Check
(1) Start both engines and bring both starter-generators on line with procedures outlined in the Model
1900D Airliner FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual.
(2) Place the BUS SENSE switch (located on the pilot's outboard subpanel) in the TEST position,
then release. Verify that the amber L GEN TIE OPEN, R GEN TIE OPEN and BATT TIE OPEN
caution annunciators illuminate.
(3) Rotate the VOLT SELECT switch to the CTR BUS position and verify that the voltmeter indicates
zero. The switch and meter are located on the overhead panel.
(4) Rotate the VOLT SELECT switch to the L GEN and R GEN positions, and verify that the voltmeter
indicates 28 vdc in both positions.
(5) Place the AC BUS LEFT switch in the ON position and the AC BUS RIGHT switch in the OFF

switch is placed in the TRANSFER position in Step (13). Check that the red L AC BUS warning
annunciator is extinguished.
(6) Place the inverter select switch (located on the overhead panel) in the LH INV position. Check
that the volt/frequency meter indicates 115 vac at 400Hz.
(7) Open the NO. 1 INV PWR SEL circuit breaker (located on the right circuit breaker panel). Check
that the volt/frequency meter indicates zero and that the red L AC BUS warning annunciator
illuminates as the No.1 inverter power select relay de-energizes.
(8) Place the BUS SENSE switch in the RESET position, then release. Verify that the amber L GEN

warning annunciator are extinguished. Check that the volt/frequency meter indicates 115 ± 3.5
volts at 400 ± 4 Hz.
(9) Place the BUS SENSE switch in the TEST position, then release. Verify that the amber L GEN
TIE OPEN, R GEN TIE OPEN and BATT TIE OPEN caution annunciators and the red L AC BUS
warning annunciator are illuminated. Check that the volt/frequency meter indicates zero.
(10) Reset the NO. 1 INV PWR SEL circuit breaker. Check that the volt/frequency meter indicates
115 ± 3.5 volts at 400 ± 4 Hz as the No. 1 inverter power select relay energizes and that the red
L AC BUS warning annunciator extinguishes.
(11) Place the BUS SENSE switch in the RESET position, then release. Verify that the amber L GEN
TIE OPEN, R GEN TIE OPEN and BATT TIE OPEN caution annunciators extinguish.
(12) Place the inverter select switch first in the LH INV position then in the RH INV position. Verify
that the volt/frequency meter is indicating voltage in the LH INV position only.
(13) Place the AC BUS RIGHT switch in the TRANSFER position. This will cause the No. 2 AC bus
select relay to energize, allowing inverter No. 1 to assume all of inverter No. 2's load. Verify
this by placing the inverter select switch first in the LH INV position then in the RH INV position.
Check that the volt/frequency meter indicates voltage in both positions and that both the red L
& R AC BUS warning annunciators extinguish.
(14) Place the AC BUS LEFT switch in the OFF position. Check that the red L AC BUS warning
annunciator illuminates and remains illuminated until the AC BUS LEFT switch is placed in the
TRANSFER position in Step (24). Check that the red R AC BUS warning annunciator also
illuminates.
(15) Place the AC BUS RIGHT switch in the ON position. Check that the red R AC BUS warning
annunciator extinguishes.
(16) Place the inverter select switch in the RH INV position. Check that the volt/frequency meter

(19) Place the BUS SENSE switch in the RESET position, then release. Verify that the amber L GEN
TIE OPEN, R GEN TIE OPEN and BATT TIE OPEN caution annunciators and the red R AC
BUS warning annunciator are extinguished. Check that the volt/frequency meter indicates 115
± 3.5 volts at 400 ± 4 Hz.
(20) Place the BUS SENSE switch in the TEST position, then release. Verify that the amber L GEN
TIE OPEN, R GEN TIE OPEN and BATT TIE OPEN caution annunciators and the red R AC
BUS warning annunciator are illuminated. Check that the volt/frequency meter indicates zero.
(21) Reset the NO. 2 INV PWR SEL circuit breaker. Check that the volt/frequency meter indicates
115 ± 3.5 volts at 400 ± 4 Hz. as the No. 2 inverter power select relay energizes and the red R
AC BUS warning annunciator extinguishes.
(22) Place the BUS SENSE switch in the RESET position, then release. Verify that the amber L GEN
TIE OPEN, R GEN TIE OPEN and BATT TIE OPEN caution annunciators are extinguished.
(23) Place the inverter select switch first in the LH INV position then in the RH INV position. Verify
that the volt/frequency meter is indicating voltage in the RH INV position only.
(24) Place the AC BUS LEFT switch in the TRANSFER position. This will cause the No. 1 AC bus
select relay to energize, allowing inverter No. 2 to assume all of inverter No. 1's load. Verify
this by placing the inverter select switch first in the LH INV position then in the RH INV position.
Check that the volt/frequency meter indicates voltage in both positions and that the red L & R
AC BUS warning annunciators extinguish.
(25) With the AC BUS LEFT switch still in the TRANSFER position, place the AC BUS RIGHT switch
in the TRANSFER position. Check that the red L & R AC BUS warning annunciators illuminate,
indicating that both inverters have been disabled.
(26) Shutdown the engines with procedures outlined in the Model 1900D Airliner FAA Approved
Airplane Flight Manual.
AC Inverter Installation
Figure 202 (Sheet 1)
1. General
A. System Description
(1) The DC generation and control system consists of two DC starter-generators, two generator
power relay panels, a battery bus tie relay and current sensor, two generator control panels, A
DC voltmeter, two DC loadmeters, the bus tie control printed circuit board (PCB) and all system
annunciators.
A. DC Starter-Generators
(1) The starter-generators are dual purpose, 30-volt, 300-ampere units which produce torque for
engine starts or generate electrical current to meet the airplane electrical loads (Ref. Figure
1). A series starter winding is used for starter operation, and a shunt field winding is used
during generator operation. Refer to Chapter 80-00-00 for limitations on starter operation. The
starter-generator interpole and compensating windings are in series with the armature and
provide a voltage proportional to starter-generator output current. Voltage developed across
the interpole and compensating windings is output at terminal "D" of the starter-generator.
Each generator control panel senses this voltage at pin "D" to provide equalization during dual
generator operation. The generator control panels also provide a field excitation voltage from
pin "M" to terminal "A" on the starter-generators. By monitoring input at pin "B" to control the
field excitation voltage, starter-generator output at terminal "B" is regulated to 28.25 ± 0.25 vdc
by the generator control panel.
(2) A quick-disconnect mounting adapter is bolted to a mounting pad on the engine accessory
gearbox, providing the starter-generator with a pin-aligned mount. The unit mates with the
engine gearbox by means of a splined drive shaft, providing a direct torque transfer for both
starting and generator functions. If a condition occurs causing excessive torque on the starter-
generator splined drive shaft, the shaft will shear, minimizing damage to the starter-generator
and engine components. An internal shaft driven fan draws outside air through the starter-
generator to provide ground cooling.
B. Generator Power Relay Panels
(1) A generator power relay panel is mounted on each nacelle electrical equipment shelf (Ref.
Figure 1). The generator power relay panels are identical and contain a bidirectional high current
sensor, bus tie relay, line contactor relay and an engine start relay. Each generator power relay
panel also has a loadmeter shunt mounted on the outside of the case. Refer to 24-00-00 for
more information on DC voltage and load indication.
(2) The bus tie control PCB monitors the current sensor signals and other inputs to provide control
of the bus tie relays. When the current sensors are not sensing an overcurrent, and at least
one line contactor relay is closed, the bus tie control PCB will close the generator bus tie relays,
powering the center, battery and opposite side generator buses with generator power. Whenever
an overcurrent of 325 amperes or greater is flowing in either direction through either of the
generator power relay panel current sensors, the affected current sensor will signal the bus tie
control PCB to open the applicable generator bus tie relay, isolating the overcurrent.
(3) Each bus tie relay has three sets of auxiliary contacts. Two contact sets allow the generator
control panel to sense center bus voltage when the bus tie relay is open, and to sense generator
bus voltage when it is closed. The other set prevents the respective "GEN TIE OPEN" caution
annunciator from illuminating when the bus tie relay is closed. The line contactor relay has one
set of auxiliary contacts that sends 28 vdc to the A127 Annunciator Fault PCB to illuminate the
yellow "L DC GEN" or "R DC GEN" caution annunciator after the line contactor relay connects
the starter-generator to the generator bus. Refer to LINE CONTACTOR RELAY CONTROL in
this section for detailed information on the line contactor relay.
(4) A battery current sensor is installed to monitor current flow at the battery and, if current exceeds
275 amperes, will signal the bus tie control PCB to open the battery bus tie relay. After the battery
switch is placed in the ON position to close the battery relay and power the triple-fed bus, the
bus tie control PCB will close the battery bus tie relay if no overcurrent is present. Whenever
the battery bus tie relay is closed, the yellow "BATTERY TIE OPEN" caution annunciator is
extinguished by the bus tie control PCB. For detailed information on battery power refer to
24-31-00.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
G. Overexcitation Protection
(1) When a failure occurs causing excessive field excitation, the affected starter-generator will
attempt to carry all of the airplane's electrical load. During parallel operation, this is sensed
at the generator control panel by comparing interpole voltages of the starter-generators. The
starter-generator will be de-energized if generator bus voltage is greater than 28.5 vdc and the
output current differential between starter-generators is greater than 15 percent for 5 seconds.
This circuit functions during parallel operation only and does not require an overvoltage to
function.
H. Reverse Current and Polarity Protection
(1) When the generator field becomes underexcited for any reason, or when the starter-generator
slows down to a point where it can no longer maintain a positive load, it will begin to draw current
from the center bus. The reverse current protection function senses starter-generator interpole
voltage at pin "D" of the generator control panel to determine if the starter-generator has become
a load rather than a power source. If reverse current is present, indicated by positive voltage
at pin "D", the generator control panel will open the line contactor relay and remove the starter-
generator from the bus. During engine shutdown, the control panel will have a tendency to
wait longer to open the line contactor relay. This will eliminate unnecessary cycling of the line
contactor relay during a normal condition.
NOTE: The starter-generator does not require a reset when the reverse current protection
circuit has been tripped. The generator control panel will automatically reset its
internal circuitry.
(2) In the case of starter-generator reverse polarity buildup, the generator control panel protects
the electrical system from damage by tripping an internal field relay to de-energize the starter-
generator.
I. Overvoltage Protection
(1) If a fault occurs where starter-generator output or bus voltage is supplied to the generator field
at terminal "A" of the starter-generator, or should the voltage regulation circuit fail, the affected
starter-generator will attempt to assume the full load as its input voltage increases. If bus voltage
increases above 28.25 ± 0.25 vdc, reverse current will begin to flow to the regulated starter-
generator and the line contactor relay will be opened, isolating the regulated starter-generator
from the buses. If the affected starter-generator output voltage rises above 32.5 vdc it will be
removed from the bus and the unaffected starter-generator will automatically be reconnected.
The resultant voltage depends upon starter-generator speed, electrical load and the nature of
the fault.
(2) The generator control panels monitor starter-generator output voltage at pin "J" for excessive
voltage that could potentially damage the airplane electrical system. If starter-generator output
exceeds 32.5 vdc, an inverse time delay will trip an internal field relay to de-energize the starter-
generator and open the line contactor relay. Slight voltage surges will normally be associated
with a longer time delay to prevent nuisance trips of the internal field relay, whereas a severe
increase will cause an immediate trip. This overvoltage protection circuit requires a manual reset
of the starter-generator to bring the unit back on-line.
(3) A completely separate circuit is used to open the line contactor relay if voltage exceeds 40 vdc.
This provides extra protection of the electrical system and allows a faster response to a fault
because it does not work on a time delay. Manual reset of this individual circuit is not required
because there is no time-delay mechanism.
(4) An overvoltage condition arising from a resistive connection in the signal ground wire to the
generator control panel can be detected by the control panel with an alternate ground return path.
This alternate ground return path allows the control panel to sense an otherwise undetectable
overvoltage condition and provide an automatic trip of the internal field relay.
J. Cross-Start Overload Current Limiting
(1) The generator control panels have a feature that limits the on-line starter-generator output
current during engine cross-starts. This circuit prevents the on-line starter-generator from
providing excess current to the starter-generator being used as a starter. When either
ignition/start switch on the left outboard subpanel, placarded IGNITION AND ENGINE START,
LEFT, RIGHT, ON-OFF-STARTER ONLY, is placed in either the ON or STARTER ONLY
24-30-00 Page 3

BEECHCRAFT®
MODEL 1900D AIRLINER
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
position, a signal is applied to pin "R" of the opposite generator control panel, enabling its
current limiting circuit. The generator control panel will then limit starter-generator output until
the signal is removed from pin "R". When the applicable ignition/start switch is placed in the ON
or STARTER ONLY position. The normally closed set of auxiliary contacts on the engine start
relay removes starter-generator output voltage from pin "j" of the generator control panel during
starting operations. This also prevents generator output during starter operation. The normally
open set of starter relay auxiliary contacts shorts the shunt field of the starter-generator during
engine starts, thereby preventing transients from entering the generator control panel.
K. Bus Tie Control PCB
(1) The bus tie control PCB (A257) is mounted in the circuit card rack under the cabin floor at FS
192. It is powered by 28 vdc from the triple-fed bus through the left and right bus tie indicator
and control circuit breakers located on the underfloor circuit breaker panel at FS 160.00. Both
generator power relay panel high current sensors, the battery high current sensor and the bus
tie relays are monitored and controlled by the bus tie control PCB. When one or more current
sensors signal an overcurrent in the amount of 325 amperes or greater on the buses, the bus tie
control PCB will open the applicable bus tie relays (all three if needed), isolating the overcurrent
to the affected bus. Due to the high amount of current required to perform landing gear and
engine starting operations, signals are sent to the bus tie control PCB allowing it to disregard
overcurrent signals from the current sensors to keep the bus tie relays closed during these high
current operations.
(2) The bus tie relays are manually opened or closed through the bus tie control PCB with the
generator bus tie switch placarded GEN TIES, MAN CLOSE-NORM-OPEN on the left outboard
subpanel. When the switch is placed in the MAN CLOSE position, voltage is applied to the
bus tie close control input on the bus tie control PCB to close both generator bus tie relays.
The voltage output is also routed to the annunciator panel to illuminate the green "MAN TIES
CLOSE" advisory annunciator in the caution/advisory/status panel. When the generator bus
tie switch is placed in the OPEN position, voltage is applied to the bus tie control PCB bus tie
open control input, opening both generator bus tie relays. The bus tie control PCB will close the
battery bus tie relay if the battery switch is in the ON position and no overcurrent is on the center
bus. It will also automatically close both generator bus tie relays if at least one starter-generator
is operating with the line contactor relay closed and the generator bus tie switch in the NORM
position.
(3) The bus tie control PCB also provides an interconnect for the generator control panels during
starter-generator parallel operation. It consists of a connection from each GCU pin "E" to the
bus tie control PCB at pins "29" and "40". The bus tie control PCB uses two internal relays to
connect the two control panel paralleling channels when the line contactor and bus tie relays are
closed in both generator power relay panels. This feature ensures that load sharing is possible
only when both generators are on-line with their bus tie relays closed.

1. General
DC generation troubleshooting is best accomplished by monitoring each of the generator control panel
pins for the resistance and voltage values shown in Tables 101, 102 and 103. All three Tables clarify
the operating mode and electrical check to be performed with Table headings and notes. By using the
generator control panel test unit (TK1999/935) (2, Table 1, 24-00-00), readings can be obtained during the
different operating modes and compared to those of a normal system. Refer to GENERATOR CONTROL
PANEL TEST UNIT (TK1999/935) in this chapter for detailed information on building and operating the
control panel test unit for troubleshooting of the DC generation system.
NOTE: The resistance values shown in Table 101 are approximate values. It is not expected that
these values will be obtained during checkout; rather they should be used as a guide to locate
open and short circuits in the airplane wiring.
Usually it should not be necessary to check each of the inputs given in Tables 101, 102 and 103 to isolate
a defective component. Many times the description of the system malfunction is sufficient to indicate
which circuits to check. Checking the ground wires and one or two specific circuits will normally isolate a
fault. The Model 1900D Airliner Wiring Diagram Manual should be used to trace specific wire routes and
locate pin and plug numbers. Many times a loose or faulty pin connection will cause a fault. Ensure that
there are no loose, damaged or corroded pins in any system connectors. If a fault cannot be isolated with
these general troubleshooting guidelines or checks, refer to the applicable Table in this chapter to isolate
the fault. The Steps in each Table should be followed sequentially unless otherwise specified. An example
would be to proceed to the next Step when there are no directions immediately following a NO condition.
CAUTION: Never apply voltage to pin "H" of the generator control panel. Never apply
a ground to pins "H" or "M". Always ensure that pins "G" and "L" are well
grounded.
A. Generator Control Panel Test Unit (TK1999/935)
A generator control panel test unit should be used to gain access to the individual pins on the generator
control panels when troubleshooting the DC generation system. Refer to Figure 101 for component
part numbers and a schematic for use when building the control panel test unit. Since maximum
starter-generator output is 300 amperes, the 50 percent load requirement specified in Table 103 is
satisfied by turning on enough electrical equipment to establish approximately 150 amperes of load
on the electrical system. Refer to 24-50-00 for loads utilized by the various electrical systems and
their individual components.
Set up the control panel test unit for troubleshooting as follows:
CAUTION: Never connect or disconnect the generator control panel wiring harness
plug when the engine is running as this may damage the control panel.
(1) Disconnect the airplane wiring harness electrical connector from the generator control panel and
connect it to the receptacle of the control panel test unit.
(2) Connect the plug from the control panel test unit to the control panel receptacle to perform
voltage checks.
NOTE: Do not connect the generator control panel to the control panel test unit when
checking resistance and continuity values.
CAUTION: Never apply voltage to pin "H" of the generator control panel. Never
apply a ground to pins "H" or "M". Always ensure that pins "G" and
"L" are well grounded.
(3) A multimeter or volt/ohmmeter accurate within 1 percent should be used for electrical
measurements. A digital readout is preferred. Connect the meter to the banana jacks on the
face of the generator control panel, ensuring proper polarity of the connections.
(4) Attach the generator control panel test unit alligator clip from pin "G" to the airplane structure to
provide a nonresistive path to ground for accurate electrical checks.
(5) Rotate the knob on the face of the control panel test unit to the pin being checked, then compare
the meter reading with the normal value shown in the Table being used.
(6) If a check of the equalizer circuit is required, use the press-to-test switch to apply a ground to
pin "E" of the control panel. A 2 to 3 vdc drop at pin "B" is an indication of a good equalizer
circuit. Refer to STARTER-GENERATOR PARALLELING EQUALIZER CIRCUIT and Table 106
for further troubleshooting information regarding potential equalizer circuit faults.
CAUTION: Never replace a damaged control panel until proper operation of the
engine start relay auxiliary contacts is confirmed.
(7) If a check of the engine start relay auxiliary contacts on the side being tested is required, rotate
the knob on the face of the generator control panel test unit to the off position and perform the
check as instructed under FIELD CUTOUT CONTACTS CHECK.
NOTE: The generator control panel regulator circuit will not adjust starter-generator output more
than 2.0 vdc in either direction. Therefore, the generator control panel will not parallel the
starter-generators if the voltage difference is too great.
Many times a resistive connection to ground will also cause an equalization fault. Use Table 106 to
isolate any potential ground faults in the equalizer circuit.
NOTE: A multimeter or volt/ohmmeter accurate within 1 percent should be used for electrical
measurements. A digital readout is preferred.
The LH and RH overvoltage test switches (S195) and (S196) are located at FS 299.00 under the
cabin floor just forward of the generator control panels. The test switches provide a means to test the
overvoltage protection circuit in each control panel. Moving a test switch to the TEST position applies
bus voltage to pin "P" of the respective control panel. The overvoltage circuit is functioning properly
when the generator under test is automatically removed from the line and de-excited. This response
is confirmed by residual voltage at pin "B" of the control panel. Any other response is indicative of a
fault in the generator control panel.
D. Generator Control Panel Reverse Current Circuit Check
(1) Refer to the Model 1900D Airliner Airplane Flight Manual and start both engines.
(2) Bring the LH starter-generator on-line by placing the LH generator control switch in the RESET
position, then release to ON.
(3) Bring the RH starter-generator on-line by placing the RH generator control switch in the RESET
position, then release to ON.
(4) Place the fuel shut-off valve for the RH engine in the OFF position to shutdown the RH engine.
(5) Monitor the RH loadmeter. It should gradually decrease the reading until a spike or zero is
realized, indicating that the control panel has sensed reverse current and shut down the starter-
generator. If the engine is motored by the starter-generator after engine shutdown, this is an
indication of a faulty reverse current protection circuit.
(6) Refer to Model 1900D Airliner Airplane Flight Manual and start the RH engine.
(7) Bring the RH starter-generator back on line.
(8) Repeat Steps (5) and (6) for the LH side of the system.
NOTE:
1. Table 101 resistance and continuity checks should be made with the battery OFF, external power OFF,
engines OFF and the generator control panel disconnected.
2. Bus sense circuit breaker closed. Resistance may vary drastically due to bus loads.
3. Bus sense circuit breaker open.
4. Generator field and sense circuit breaker closed. Reading may vary due to wiring and circuit breaker
resistance.
5. Generator field and sense circuit breaker open.
6. Generator reset circuit breaker closed.
7. Generator reset circuit breaker open.
NOTE:
1. Voltage checks should be made with the battery ON, external power OFF, engines OFF and the
generator control panel connected.
2. Bus sense circuit breaker closed. Voltage may vary drastically with battery charge and loads.
3. Bus sense circuit breaker open.
NOTE:
1. All voltage measurements are made with one engine running and the generator control switch in the
specified position unless otherwise indicated.
2. All voltage measurements for this switch position should be made with both generators on-line and
operating in parallel. Shut down the engine on the side of the starter/generator under test. The first
value given is at engine shutdown. The second value is when the line contactor relay opens.
3. After the line contactor relay opens, place the generator control switch in the OFF position and take
the first reading. The second value is when the engine stops rotating.
4. Approximation of residual voltage. Result may vary from 0.3 - 2.0 vdc.
5. Starter/generator output voltage should build from residual voltage and stabilize at 28.25 ± 0.25.
6. For starter/generator current, interpole is negative with respect to ground. The voltage will vary
depending upon starter/generator current. A negative 2 volts is proportional to 300 amperes of output
current.
7. Variable output. The average voltage value will vary with starter/generator speed and load.
8. Voltage at pin "P" is 0.0 vdc or approximately 1/2 that of voltage at pin "J" if a reading other than 0.0
is obtained.
9. Generator control panel internal voltage.

NOTE:
1. This check is for residual voltage and should be made with one engine running and the generator
control switch in the OFF position.
2. An ohmmeter is sufficient for these resistance and continuity checks. The engines should be off, both
the battery and external power switched off, and the control panel disconnected.
3. The generator control switch must be placed in the RESET position for this reading.
4. Failure of the engine start relay auxiliary contacts to short the shunt field of the starter-generator can
produce transient voltage spikes at pin "M" of the control panel during engine start. These spikes may
be of sufficient magnitude to damage the control panel internal circuitry. Before replacing the control
panel, verify that continuity exists between pins "X" and "Y" of the power relay panel when the engine
start relay is energized by performing the FIELD CUTOUT CONTACTS CHECK.
5. System operation without a proper ground at pin "G" or "L" of the control panel may cause permanent
damage to the controls panel internal circuitry. If the system does not function properly after restoring
full continuity, suspect control panel internal damage due to an inadequate ground.
6. Voltage at pin "B" of the control panel must be positive for generator reset. A negative voltage is an
indication of starter-generator reverse polarity, and will prevent the starter-generator from resetting.

NOTE:
1. Resistance and continuity checks should be made with the engines off, both the battery and external

2. The bus sense circuit breaker must be closed to receive this reading.
3. The opposite starter-generator must be on-line with the bus tie relay and control panel circuit breakers
closed.
4. The generator field and sense circuit breaker must be closed to receive this reading.
5. Voltage check should be made on the side that is being brought on-line. The bus tie relay should be
open.
6. A false starter-generator output reading at pin "B" of the control panel will cause the equalization circuit
to increase the field voltage and, consequently, the affected side will try to carry more of a load with
both starter-generators on-line or go into overvoltage with only one on line.
7. Any time pin "H" is subjected to a voltage input, damage to the control panel internal circuitry could
result.
8. If the control panel senses differential voltage, reverse current or an overvoltage condition, a control
voltage will not be supplied to the line contactor relay coil. Ensure that these faults do not exist before
replacing a damaged control panel.
NOTE:
1. Bring one starter-generator on line and establish a constant 50% load on the loadmeter. Disconnect
the starter-generator from the line and connect the opposite side. Record the reading on the opposite
loadmeter. The indication should be the same if the loadmeters are indicating accurately, and circuit
resistance is the same for both sides.
2. Use the control panel test unit to perform this test. It should be conducted with one starter-generator
on-line and a constant 50% load.
3. Voltage is negative with respect to ground and will change with respect to starter-generator output
current. A reading of approximately -1.0 vdc is normal for a 50% load. A small variation in circuit
resistance will cause the equalizer circuit to adjust to an out-of-parallel condition when none exists.
4. A false starter-generator output reading at pin "B" on the control panel will cause the equalization
circuit to increase the field voltage, and consequently the affected side will carry more of a load.
5. Many times an ohmmeter will not be sufficient to measure a small deviation from ground. Make the
check with a voltmeter, one engine running, and a 50% load. A voltage reading of 1.0-3.0 vdc or
greater indicates an inferior ground.
6. An ohmmeter is insufficient for this check. Make the check with a voltmeter, one engine running, and
a 50% load. Voltage readings of approximately 0.0 for pin "G" and -0.1 for pin "L" are acceptable.

1. Starter-Generator
A. Removal
(1) Remove the engine cowling (Ref. Chapter 71-10-00).
(2) Perform REMOVING GROUND POWER procedure (Ref. 24-04-00).
(3) Remove protective nipples from the terminal adapter studs.
(4) Tag and disconnect the electrical leads from the starter-generator (Ref. Figure 201).
(5) Cut the safety wire, loosen the clamp and remove the air inlet cap from the aft end of the starter-
generator.
(f) If a black or reflective foreign material is observed, clean the area again as described in
Steps (c) and (d), and inspect to confirm that the pits are not mechanical damage or wear
caused by debris lodged between the male (starter-generator) spline and female (engine)
spline.
(g) If any EDD pitting is identified on the male spline, do an oil patch test per Pratt and Whitney
Canada Service Bulletin No. 14318 and contact Textron Aviation Customer Service. If the
starter-generator is to be installed, record the pitting observed for future reference.
(h) If no electrical pitting has been found on the male spline, the starter-generator may be
installed as described in STARTER-GENERATOR INSTALLATION.
NOTE: Make sure the starter-generator male spline and surrounding areas are free of
all cleaning agents before installing the starter-generator. The cleaning agent
is corrosive to aluminum and may be removed with water.
C. Installation
(1) Install a new packing on the starter-generator splined drive shaft (Ref. Figure 201).
NOTE: If torque has fallen below 25 inch-pounds, loosen the quick-disconnect clamp, check
the starter-generator for proper alignment, and follow Steps (3) and (7) again to
ensure proper installation of the unit.
(12) Safety wire the T-bolt after the proper torque has been verified.
(13) Install the engine cowling (Ref. Chapter 71-10-00).
D. Brush Replacement
The starter-generator brushes are provided with a diagonal groove from one side of the contact surface
to a point on the opposite side which corresponds to the point of maximum permissible wear (Ref.
Figure 204). Brush wear can be estimated by the position of the groove on the contact surface. If the
wear grooves indicate that any one brush is at or near 1/4 of its remaining life, or if inspection reveals
the need for any other maintenance, the unit should be removed from the airplane for maintenance.
Refer to the Starter-Generator Manufacturer's Maintenance Manual in the Model 1900 Airliner Series
Component Maintenance Manual for detailed information on brush replacement and run-in.
NOTE: It should also be noted that, although cored brushes may cause the commutator
to appear grooved in the area of the brush cores, this unusual appearance of the
commutator should not be interpreted as cause for rejection unless any groove exceeds
0.020 inch. When brushes are replaced, full brush seating is comprised of both coarse
brush preseating by sanding combined with final brush run-in by running the unit on a
drive stand or operating the unit as a motor.
The frequency of brush inspection should be determined by the operator based upon experience
with individual units. The brushes must be replaced if the wear limit will be reached before the next
scheduled inspection.
E. Field Cutout Contacts Check
(1) Refer to GENERATOR CONTROL PANEL TEST UNIT in this chapter and connect the test unit
to the appropriate control panel.
(2) While monitoring the test lamp on the control panel test unit, place the battery switch in the ON
position and the appropriate ignition/start switch in the STARTER ONLY position.
(3) A normal indication is for the control panel test unit test lamp to flash momentarily, then glow
continuously for the duration of the engine start. A bright flash when the ignition/start switch
is released to OFF is normal. If the test lamp flashes brightly, then goes out, the field cutout
contacts are not operating properly. Replace the engine start relay if the auxiliary contacts fail
to short the generator shunt field.

Figure 201 (Sheet 1)
1. General
A. Description
(1) The airplane is equipped with a 24-volt, 20 cell, nickel-cadmium battery rated at 36-ampere hours
(one-hour rate), or a 23-ampere-hour battery. The battery is installed in a battery compartment
in the RH inboard wing. Vents are located under the battery and in the top surface of the wing
to permit cooling of the unit during normal operation and allow the escape of dangerous gases
and heat produced during an overcharge condition.
(2) The battery consists of a steel case containing 20 identical and individual cells connected in
series by link bars and fitted side-by-side in the battery case. This design of nickel-cadmium
batteries allows for replacement of the individual cells if one becomes damaged. Each cell
has two threaded terminals with nuts and washers for mounting the link bars, and a packing to
prevent electrolyte leakage around each terminal. The end cells are connected by a solid link or
terminal on the face of the battery case or to a terminal that extends through the battery cover.
Each cell also has a removable filler cap which serves as a vent in case of overcharge.
(3) Service facilities for nickel-cadmium batteries must be separate from lead-acid battery facilities.
The electrolyte contained in nickel-cadmium batteries is a highly alkaline solution of potassium
hydroxide and water. This solution is a chemical "opposite" to the sulfuric acid contained in
lead-acid batteries. Anything associated with lead-acid batteries, including acid fumes, should
never come in contact with a nickel-cadmium battery or its electrolyte. If traces of sulfuric acid
enter a nickel-cadmium battery, it can become damaged permanently.
(4) If the electrolyte becomes contaminated with tap water, acids or other non-compatible
substances, poor performance or complete failure of the battery will result. If a battery operates
with damaged, missing or loose vent caps, the result will be low battery capacity caused by the
loss of electrolyte. the state of charge for a nickel-cadmium battery cannot be determined like
that of a lead-acid type. The battery must be discharged at a known current rate to calculate
this figure.
B. Battery Control Circuit
(1) The hot battery bus is powered anytime the battery is connected to its power cables (Ref.
Figure 1). When the battery switch is placed in the ON position, the battery relay is energized,
connecting the battery to the triple-fed bus and RH pitot heat feeder. The bus tie control PCB
will check for an overcurrent through the battery current sensor. If no overcurrent is present,
and the generator bus tie switch placarded GEN TIES, MAN CLOSE-NORM-OPEN on the left
outboard subpanel is in the NORM position, the bus tie control PCB will automatically close the
battery bus tie relay, connecting the battery to the RH center bus. If an electrical fault prevents
closing of the battery bus tie relay, the yellow "BATT TIE OPEN" caution annunciator remains
illuminated. The battery bus tie switch must be placed in the MAN CLOSE position to power
the LH and RH generator buses with battery power only.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. General
When troubleshooting battery power to the airplane, always check for any loose or damaged connections.
Checking the battery for low electrolyte, or erratic readings from individual cells can locate some electrical
problems, eliminating the need for extensive electrical system checks.
The Model 1900D Airliner Wiring Diagram Manual should be used to trace out specific wire routes and
locate pin and plug numbers. Many times a loose or faulty pin connection will cause a fault. Ensure that
there are no loose, damaged, or corroded pins on any connectors in the system. Continuity checks should
be made with power removed from the specific terminal or connector. Use a calibrated voltmeter for all
voltage checks and ensure that the battery switch is ON for these checks unless otherwise indicated.
WARNING: Remove all watches, rings and metal jewelry prior to electrical
troubleshooting. If metal articles come in contact with battery powered
leads of opposite polarity, the objects will fuse themselves at the point
of contact, resulting in severe burns to the wearer.

F. Pre-Installation Instructions for Nickel-Cadmium Batteries
NOTE: Unless otherwise indicated by a red warning tag, nickel-cadmium batteries are shipped in
a completely discharged state, but with the proper amount of electrolyte in the cells.
Observe the following precautions to ensure maximum performance and protect the battery
warranty.
(1) Do not remove the shorting clip until just before the battery is to be charged. Batteries that have
had the shorting clip removed (even for a short period of time) must be considered to have an
unknown charge and require a complete discharge prior to charging and installation procedures.
(2) Inspect batteries shipped from the factory for shipping plugs in the vent holes of each battery
cell. The blunt aluminum screws that serve as shipping plugs must be removed prior to operation
of the battery. The bunson valves, included with the battery in a separate plastic bag, should
then be screwed into the vent cap assembly in place of the screw plugs. The bunson valves will
release excessive pressure to prevent cell rupture caused by gas accumulation.
NOTE: On batteries not equipped with the screw-type plugs and bunson valves, remove the
shipping plugs and clean the filler cap vent plugs as noted under battery cleaning
procedures. Tighten the cell vents with the vent plug wrench included with the
battery.
(3) Check the terminal screws securing the cell links for tightness. Refer to the service sheet
furnished with the battery or to the manufacturer's maintenance manual for the proper torque
value.
(4) Before charging, determine that all cells are properly installed by making a cumulative voltage
check.
(5) After determining the battery is in good physical condition and is properly assembled, the
electrolyte level should be adjusted and the battery charged as outlined by battery charging
procedures.
G. Installation
WARNING: Remove all watches, rings, and metal jewelry before attempting
maintenance on the battery. If metal articles contact the intercell
connectors of opposite polarity, the objects will fuse themselves
to the connectors and result in severe burns to the wearer.
(1) If necessary remove battery access panel located on the top surface of the RH wing center
section (Ref. Chapter 6-50-00, WING ACCESS PANELS).
(2) Position the battery (2) in the battery box (3) (Ref. Figure 201).
(3) Secure hold down bar (5) with the keepers (7), washers (8) and wing nuts (4). Tighten and
secure the wing nuts (4) with safety wire to the keepers (7).
(4) Connect the battery connector (1) to the battery (2) and safety wire.
(5) Install battery access panel 611BT located on the top surface of the RH wing center section (Ref.
Chapter 6-50-00, WING ACCESS PANELS). Ensure that the vent (6) on the battery is aligned
with the vent and gasket of the access panel.
H. Cleaning and Inspection
Reference the manufacturer's instructions in the Model 1900 Airliner Series Component Maintenance
Manual, P/N 114-590021-11 for when to inspect and how to clean the battery. Always keep a record
of maintenance, service and condition in a battery maintenance log. Use the log to monitor battery
condition over time, and to decide if the battery needs a shorter maintenance interval than what is
called out in the manufacturer's instructions.
Battery Installation
Figure 201 (Sheet 1)
1. General
The aircraft is typically equipped with two standby power supplies. Each emergency power supply
consists of 12 battery cells. The emergency batteries are rechargeable, heavy-duty, sealed, lead-acid
batteries capable of withstanding severe performance requirements, such as thermal shock and high
charge and discharge rates. The emergency power supplies have self-test capability, battery voltage
indicators, cell monitoring LEDs, battery heater operations and battery temperature monitoring LEDs. The
emergency power supplies are located on the bottom shelf of the nose avionics compartment.
These are nominal 24 vdc power systems specifically designed to drive self-contained gyro horizon
indicators. During normal operation, the power supply batteries are fully charged by the airplane 28 vdc
bus power. Each standby power supply is rated at 2.5 AH. One of the power supplies is used to supply
standby power to the standby gyro horizon (attitude indicator) and the copilot altimeter (UE-306, UE-309
and After, and Airplanes With Kit 129-9018-1 Installed) in the event that aircraft power is compromised.
This supply is located on the bottom shelf, right side, of the nose avionics compartment. The other
power supply is the standby EFIS power supply, located on the bottom shelf, left side, of the nose
avionics compartment. It is used to prevent the pilot's EFIS displays from blanking during airstarts or
landing gear operations.
For the standby EFIS power supply, an EFIS AUX POWER control panel is located on the pilot's
instrument panel. It contains an ON-OFF-TEST switch, a HORN SILENCE button and an annunciator
with the following indications:
AUX ARM (Green)Illuminates when the standby battery is selected on, the avionics switch is on and
the pilot's EFIS displays are being powered by the left generator bus.
AUX ON (Amber)Illuminates when voltage to the pilot's EFIS is insufficient and operating power has
switched to the standby battery power supply. A beeping warning horn will sound in conjunction with
this annunciator.
AUX TEST (Green)Illuminates when the ON-OFF-TEST switch is held to the TEST position. The test
switch should not be held longer than 5 seconds, and should be released as soon as the AUX TEST
annunciator illuminates. The annunciator may illuminated only momentarily, or as long as the switch
is held to the TEST position. Either situation indicates the auxiliary battery has a sufficient charge.
The EFIS standby battery is continually charged by the left generator bus through the left generator
avionics bus. A beeping warning horn is provided to alert the pilot that the standby battery is supplying
power to the pilot's displays. This horn will activate in conjunction with the illumination of the AUX
ON annunciator. The horn may be silenced by pressing the HORN SILENCE button. The horn and
annunciator will activate during shutdown if the avionics switch is turned off before the auxiliary battery is
turned off.
WARNING: The standby EFIS power supply is intended for only short periods of
use such as the momentary drops in operating voltage that occurs
during airstarts and landing gear operations. It should not be relied
upon to maintain operation of the EFIS should the normal power
supply be compromised.
For the standby gyro horizon power supply, a STBY INSTR PWR control panel is located in the middle of
the instrument panel. This control panel contains identical parts to the EFIS AUX POWER control panel
and functions the same except that the STBY INSTR PWR warning horn provides a steady tone rather
than a beeping tone. The standby gyro and the electronic copilot altimeter (if installed) are normally
powered from the right generator bus through the right generator avionics bus.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
(1) On the standby power supply, place the 12 CELL TEST switch in the ON position.
(2) If LED's DS1 through DS11 are illuminated, but DS12 is extinguished, then unit is damaged and
requires repair at an authorized repair station.
(3) If LED's DS1 through DS12 are illuminated, then a low battery voltage condition is present,
perform the STANDBY POWER SUPPLY BATTERY TEST AND CHARGING procedure in this
section.
E. Battery Test and Charging
NOTE: The battery test and charging should be performed after referring to Figure 202 and using
any equivalent test setup. If battery can not satisfy the following requirements, dispose of
battery in accordance with the manufacturer's battery maintenance manual.
(1) Remove the standby power supply unit from the airplane.
(2) Prior to performing the battery discharging test, check the battery voltage by positioning the
battery voltage level test switch to TEST. If the 24 vdc BATTERY VOLTAGE LED illuminates
proceed to Step (3); if the LED does not illuminate, recharge the battery by applying 30 vdc to
J1, pin 10, for 16 hours.
(3) Position the switch (S3) to ON and adjust the DC power source so that the input voltage of pin 10
is from 19 to 20 vdc. Position the 12 CELL TEST switch to ON. In the fully charged condition, the
20 vdc, 24 vdc and 25 vdc BATTERY VOLTAGE LED's and all cell monitor LED's will illuminate.
(4) Position the switch (S1) to ON and start a stopwatch. Monitor and plot voltage level versus time
using a digital voltmeter, the LED's on the power supply and a stopwatch. Stop the discharge
and note the time when the 20 volt LED extinguishes. Place the 12 CELL TEST switch to OFF.
None of the 12 cell monitor LED's should extinguish before the voltage level reaches 22 vdc. The
discharge curve should never be below the minimum acceptable discharge curve (Ref. Figure
203).
(5) After the discharge test, recharge the battery within 2 hours by applying 30 vdc to J1, pins 10
(+) and 7 (-) for 23 hours.
PS-835 Charging
Figure 202 (Sheet 1)
1. General
A battery charge current monitor is installed to provide a visual indication of an abnormal battery charge
current. The yellow "BATTERY CHARGE" caution annunciator illuminates if conditions exist that cause
the charge current to be higher than normal. The battery may then be disconnected from the charging
circuit, if necessary.
During normal operation, the idle current of the battery is less than one amp. It increases significantly
above the normal level when the battery is charged at an elevated temperature or exposed to a high
charge voltage. A high idle current increases water consumption and may destroy the gas barrier
(cellophane separator) between the plates. Once a battery has sustained damage to the gas barrier, it will
have a high idle current and will be subject to thermal runaway. The battery monitor system provides
an indication of the high current resulting from high battery temperature, high charging voltage or gas
barrier damage.
The battery monitor system consists of a 250-ampere shunt in the negative lead of the battery, a battery
charge current monitor and the yellow "BATTERY CHARGE" caution annunciator in the caution/advisory
annunciator panel. The battery shunt is located adjacent to the battery box (RH inboard wing). The
battery current monitor PCB module is installed beneath the cabin floor at FS 190.00.
Following an engine start, the yellow "BATTERY CHARGE" caution annunciator will illuminate for
approximately five minutes or until the charge current decreases to the reset level of the current monitor.
The annunciator will remain illuminated more than five minutes if the trigger level of the monitor is set
too low, or if the battery is in a low state of charge, or has been discharged slowly. This functions as a
self-test of the battery charge monitor system.
After the yellow "BATTERY CHARGE" caution annunciator extinguishes, it should remain off unless a
battery condition needs monitoring or unless the battery idle current increases in response to an increase
in electrical system voltage. Such a voltage increase normally results from poor generator paralleling
or load switching. The annunciator may illuminate for short intervals as the battery recharges or until
generator speed is increased above cut-in speed.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
NOTE: The signal level is very low and susceptible to resistance imbalance in the shunt signal
leads. All connections in these leads must be clean and tight to prevent improper system
calibration and erratic operation.
Connect a variable 0 to 40 volt DC power supply; a variable 0 to 10 amp DC power supply; a ± 10
volt DC voltmeter, two test lamps (P/N 327), and a 250-amp, 50-millivolt shunt as shown in Figure
201. Refer to Table 1, 24-00-00 for power supply vendors and part numbers. Test the battery charge
monitor circuit as follows:
(1) Apply 28 volts to pin 14. Set the 10-amp power source to 0 amps. Verify that the two test lamps
do not illuminate.
(2) Apply 36 volts to pin 14. Apply 10 amps to the shunt. Verify that the two test lamps illuminate
after approximately six seconds. Connect the voltmeter to pin 13 and verify a reading of 35 ±
0.5 volts.
(3) Set the 10-amp power source to 0 amps. The two test lamps should extinguish and verify that
the voltage reading at pin 13 is less than one volt.
(4) Apply 28 volts to pin 14. Connect the voltmeter to pin 5 and verify that the reading is a positive
8 ± 2 volts.
(5) Increase the amperage at the 10-amp power source until the voltmeter reading at pin 5
switches to -8 volts. Verify that the reading is 8 ± 1 amps. Verify that the test lamps illuminate
approximately 6 seconds after the voltage at pin 5 switches from +8 volts to -8 volts. Decrease
the amperage 0.5 amp. Verify that the reading for pin 5 switches to +8 volts and that the two
test lamps extinguish. Connect the voltmeter to pin 13 and verify a reading of less than one volt.
1. General
The external power receptacle is located on the lower surface of the left wing inboard section immediately
aft of the LH main gear door. The receptacle is designed for use with an Auxiliary Ground Power Unit
(APU) equipped with a standard AN type plug. An overvoltage sensor module protects the airplane
electrical system from an APU with reversed polarity or excessively high output voltage. When an APU is
connected to the receptacle, the sensor module utilizes voltage from the hot battery bus to deliver voltage
between the positive terminal and the small, polarizing terminal of the APU plug, thereby illuminating
the green "EXTERNAL POWER" advisory annunciator. The annunciator is illuminated when the APU is
turned ON or OFF, providing the APU is plugged into the receptacle.
The external power relay is located in the LH nacelle and the battery monitor PCB is located under the
cabin floor at FS 190.00. The external power circuit breaker is located adjacent to the external power
receptacle. For an illustration of these components (Ref. 24-00-00).
A. External Power Circuit
If APU polarity and voltage are correct, output voltage from the sensor PCB is routed to the external
power switch. When the switch is placed in the ON position, the external power relay closes, supplying
power to the LH center bus. A control voltage from the small pin of the external power receptacle is
routed through the external power circuit breaker and the external power switch to the bus tie control
PCB to close the generator bus tie relays. Power is then applied through these closed relays to the
generator buses and the triple-fed bus. In addition, small pin voltage is routed to the select switch on
the overhead meter panel to allow monitoring of APU voltage. If the battery is not connected to its
power cables, the battery switch must be placed in the ON position to supply external power through
the switch to energize the battery bus tie relay and the battery relay. When these relays are closed,
external power is supplied to the hot battery bus and the RH pitot heat feeder (Ref. Figure 1).

MODEL 1900D AIRLINER
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. General
The Model 1900D Airliner Wiring Diagram Manual should be used to trace specific wire routes and to
locate pin and plug numbers. Many times a loose or damaged connection will cause a fault. Ensure that
there are no loose, damaged, or corroded pins on any connectors in the system. Continuity checks should
be made with power removed from the specific terminal or connector. Use a calibrated voltmeter for all
voltage checks and ensure that the battery switch is ON for these checks unless otherwise indicated.
NOTES:
1. The external power switch should be ON and all other electrical equipment should be turned OFF.
CAUTION: Use only an auxiliary power source that is negatively grounded. If the
polarity of the power source is unknown, determine the polarity by using
a voltmeter before connecting the power unit to the airplane.The output
setting must not exceed 1000 amperes on external power sources with
a higher current-carrying capability. Any current in excess of 1000
amperes may overtorque the drive shaft of the starter-generator or
produce heat sufficient to shorten the life of the unit.Voltage is required
to energize the Avionics Master power relays to remove power from
the avionics equipment. Therefore, never apply external power to the
airplane without first applying battery voltage. If the battery is removed
from the airplane or if the battery switch is to be placed in the OFF
position, connect the external battery in parallel to the external power
unit prior to energizing the auxiliary power unit.If external power is to
be used for ground maintenance, such as landing gear rigging, ensure
that every avionics unit is turned off.The battery may be damaged if
exposed to voltages higher that 30 volts for extended periods of time.A
continuous load in excess of 350 amperes will damage the external
power relay and the power cables of the aircraft.
B. Connecting the Ground Power Unit
(1) Review the PRECAUTIONS section of this chapter.
(2) Start the ground power unit and adjust the output to 28 ± 0.5 vdc with a maximum current output
of 1000 amperes.
(3) Shut the ground power unit down.
(4) Open the ground power receptacle access panel 524L (Ref. Chapter 06-50-00, NACELLE/
COWLING ACCESS PANELS).
(5) Connect the ground power unit electrical connector to the airplane ground power receptacle.
C. Applying Ground Power
(1) If not previously accomplished, perform the CONNECTING THE GROUND POWER UNIT
procedure.
(2) Start the ground power unit.
(3) Rotate the voltmeter select switch to the EXT PWR position.
(4) Monitor the voltage of the ground power unit on the voltmeter for correct input voltage.
(5) Set the BATT switch to ON.
(6) Set the EXT PWR switch on the left outboard subpanel to the EXT PWR position.
(7) Perform the required maintenance actions.
D. Removing Ground Power
(1) Set the EXT PWR switch to OFF.
(2) Set the BATT switch to OFF.
(3) If no further use of ground power is required, perform the DISCONNECTING THE GROUND
POWER UNIT procedure.
1. General
The following Table lists the electrical load requirements of each item of electrical equipment on the
airplane. All resistance loads are calculated at 80% of normal bus voltage, and lamp loads are calculated
at 87% of full load current. To determine the total electrical load of the airplane, determine the electrical
load of all optional equipment installed in the airplane and add that number to the total electrical load
of the standard equipment. The total load shall not exceed 90% (540 amperes), and the total load
from essential equipment shall not exceed 50% (300 amperes), of the total generating capacity of the
two 30-volt, 300-ampere starter-generators. When an item of equipment functions in more than one
system, the load value per unit listed in Table 1 represents the highest value required to operate that item.
Each starter-generator supplies half of the load of the triple-fed bus when both starter-generators are
operating in parallel with the bus tie relays closed.
NOTE: Table 1 lists the electrical equipment installed on a typical airplane. This listing may or may not
reflect all of the electrical equipment installed on a particular airplane. Always verify that the
equipment listed for each bus is the same as that installed on the airplane. If not, adjust the
total load as necessary to determine the actual load for that particular airplane.

(20) Move the L GEN switch to RESET, then release to ON. Place the R GEN switch in the OFF
position and verify that the voltmeter indicates battery voltage. Rotate the voltmeter select switch
to L GEN and verify that the voltmeter indicates 28.25 ± 0.25 vdc. Rotate the voltmeter select
switch to R GEN and verify that the voltmeter indicates zero volts.
(21) Move the GEN TIES switch to the NORM position. Verify that the bus tie relays automatically
close and that the voltmeter reads 28.25 ±0.25 vdc for the R GEN bus.
(22) Shut down the engines using procedures outlined in the Model 1900D Airliner Airplane Flight
Manual.
(23) Place both generator control switches in the OFF position.
(24) If all indications were typical of a normal system as specified in the previous Steps, the system
has passed the bus conformity check. Any abnormal readings indicate a system fault. Replace
any faulty components.
B. Triple-Fed BUS Diodes Operational Check
Power is fed to the triple-fed bus from both generator buses and the battery through three blocking
diodes mounted on a heat sink under the cabin floor at FS 155.00. It is important to verify that
continuity, in one direction only, exists through each diode to ensure that the triple-fed bus can be fed
by each power source individually, if necessary. The following operational check should be performed
to coincide with periodic detailed inspections of the airplane. Perform the check as follows:
(1) Place the external power switch in the OFF position.
(2) Place the battery switch in the ON position. Rotate the voltmeter select switch to the TPL BUS
position. Verify that a reading slightly less than battery voltage is indicated on the voltmeter.
(3) Rotate the voltmeter select switch to the R GEN and L GEN positions. The generator buses will
read zero volts if the diodes have not shorted.
(4) Start both engines with procedures outlined in the Model 1900D Airliner Airplane Flight Manual
and increase the speed of both engines to HIGH IDLE. Place the RH generator control switch
in the RESET position, then release to ON.
(5) Place the battery switch in the ON position and the generator bus tie switch in the OPEN position.
Rotate the voltmeter select switch to the TPL FED position. Verify that the voltmeter indicates
slightly less than generator voltage.
(6) Rotate the voltmeter select switch to L GEN and verify that the voltmeter indicates zero. If not,
suspect a faulty diode between the left generator and triple-fed buses.
(7) Rotate the voltmeter select switch to BATT and verify that the voltmeter indicates battery voltage.
(8) Place the LH generator control switch in the RESET position, then release to ON. Place the RH
generator control switch in the OFF position.
(9) Rotate the voltmeter select switch to TPL FED and verify that the voltmeter indicates slightly
less than generator voltage on the voltmeter. When R GEN is selected, verify that zero volts is
indicated on the voltmeter. Voltage on the right generator bus indicates a faulty diode between
the triple-fed and right generator buses.
(10) Shut the engines down with procedures outlined in the Model 1900D Airliner Airplane Flight
Manual.
(11) Place the LH generator control switch in the OFF position.
(12) If all checks had normal indications the triple-fed bus diodes are functioning correctly. If any
abnormal readings were present, replace the affected diode.

attaching the center mounting angle (11).
(7) Pull down on the door handle (4) to the cargo access door (14) and close the door.
NOTE: The screws securing the trim strips are also supporting screws for the headliner
panels; therefore, temporary reinstallation of the screws in the headliner panels is
necessary to support the panels as the trim strips are being removed.
(4) Remove the screws from the upper center trim strip, while loosely installing a minimum quantity
of screws in the panel to support it until the trim strips have been removed.
(5) Remove the screws from the sidewall trim strip, while loosely installing a minimum quantity of
screws in the sidewall panel to support it until the trim trips have been removed.
(6) Remove the supporting screws from each panel individually and remove the panel from the
airplane.
B. Installation
(1) Place each panel individually in its position and temporarily support it by loosely installing a
minimum quantity of screws in the panel (Ref. Figure 203).
NOTE: Aft panels should be installed first so forward panels will overlap them slightly.
(2) Align and install the screws above the cargo door and in the narrow panels forward and aft of
the cargo door.
(3) Place the overhead trim strips in position on the panel joints, remove the supporting screws and
align the screw holes in the trim strips with the holes in the fuselage structure. Install the screws
to secure the trim strips in place.
(4) Place the sidewall trim strips in position on the panel joints, remove the supporting screws and
align the screw holes in the trim strips with the holes in the fuselage structure. Install the screws
to secure the trim strips in place.
(5) Install new 0.43-inch wide vinyl tape (8, Table 1, 25-00-00) to cover the screws in the recessed
channel in the trim strips.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Refer to Figure 3. The Artex 110-4-002 Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) System is designed to
meet the requirements of TSO C91a. The system consists of the ELT transmitter, located in the aft
fuselage area, an antenna mounted on the aft fuselage, and a remote switch with a yellow transmit
light, located on the left cockpit sidewall next to the OAT gage. If the ELT should be inadvertently
activated by the "G" switch, the transmit light next to the remote switch will blink. The ELT can be
deactivated by momentarily placing the remote switch to ON and then back to ARM. The switch is lever
locked in the ARM and the ON positions. Neither this switch, nor the switch on the ELT transmitter, can
be positioned to prevent the automatic activation of the ELT transmitter. The System is independent
from other airplane systems except for the transmit light, which is hot-wired to the airplane battery,
and the edge lit panel which is controlled by the Side Panel rheostat located on the overhead panel.
The ELT will automatically activate during a crash and transmit a sweeping tone on 121.5 and 243.0
Mhz. This activation is independent of the remote switch setting or availability of aircraft power. The
remote switch is installed to perform the following functions:
• Test the ELT.
• Deactivate the ELT if it has been inadvertently activated. by the "G" switch.
• Activate the ELT during an in-flight emergency if an off- airport landing is anticipated.
• Activate the ELT after an off-airport landing, if the impact did not automatically activate it.
Refer to 25-61-02 for Artex 110-4-002 Maintenance Practices.
D. Artex C406-2 Emergency Locator Transmitter(UE-313 thru UE-429 with Kit 129-3404-1 Installed;
Optional on UE-430 and After)
NOTE: The Artex 110-406 emergency locator transmitter (which was only installed on UE- 379)
is functionally the same as the C406-2. All descriptions and procedures in this manual
which apply to the C406-2 also apply to the 110-406.
Refer to Figure 4. The Artex C406-2 Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) System is designed to meet
the requirements of TSO C91a and C126. The system consists of the ELT transmitter and an alert
horn located in the aft fuselage area, an antenna mounted on the aft fuselage, and a remote switch
with a yellow transmit light located on the left cockpit sidewall next to the OAT gage. The purpose of
the alert horn is to notify personnel that the ELT has been activated. The remote switch is lever-locked
in the ARM and the ON positions. Neither this switch nor the switch on the ELT transmitter can be
positioned to prevent the automatic activation of the ELT transmitter. The system is independent from
other airplane systems except for the transmit light, which is hot-wired to the airplane battery, and the
edge lit panel which is controlled by the side panel light's rheostat located on the overhead panel.
Upon activation, the ELT will sound the alert horn and transmit a sweeping tone on 121.5 and 243.0
MHz. An additional frequency of 406.025 MHz is also transmitted, which is used by orbiting satellites
to assist in determining aircraft location. This activation is independent of the remote switch setting
or availability of airplane power. The remote switch is installed to perform the following functions:
• Test the ELT.
• Deactivate the ELT if it has been inadvertently activated by the "G" switch.
• Activate the ELT during an in-flight emergency if an off-airport landing is anticipated.
• Activate the ELT after an off-airport landing, if the impact did not automatically activate it.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. Narco ELT 10 Emergency Locator Transmitter - (Airplanes Without Kit 129-3009-5 installed: UE-1
thru UE-19, UE-24 thru UE-30)
A. General
NOTE: Narco Avionics Service Bulletin No. ELT-14 states that a complete operational check of
the ELT 10 unit must be made at the time of each battery replacement. As a complete
system performance check cannot be performed without specialized test equipment,
Narco Avionics has set up factory service for repair or exchange.
Maintenance on the ELT is normally limited to replacing the battery. The following is a list of various
conditions which warrant battery replacement:
(1) Visual inspection shows signs of leakage, corrosion or insecure leads.
(2) Elapsed replacement date noted on the battery case.
(3) After any emergency use.
(4) After operation of unknown duration.
(5) If transmitter is stored in an area where the temperature is normally above 38° C (100° F), the
battery should be replaced every 12 months.
2. Narco ELT 10
A. Removal
(1) Remove access panel 312CR, located just below the right stabilon (Ref. Chapter 06-50-00).
(2) Set the ON-OFF-ARM switch to OFF.
(3) Disconnect the wiring for the remote switch (Ref. Figure 201).
(4) Disconnect the external antenna cable.
(5) Remove the ELT 10 from its mounting bracket by unlatching the attachment strap.
(6) Remove the ELT 10 from the airplane.
B. Installation
(1) Install the ELT 10 on its mounting bracket by latching the attachment strap.
(2) Connect the external antenna cable (Ref. Figure 201).
(3) Connect the wiring for the remote switch.
(4) Press the RESET button and set the ON-OFF-ARM switch to ARM.
(5) Install access panel 312CR.
C. Testing
NOTE: If the ELT antenna is being tested for proper functioning. Refer to the ELT ANTENNA
TEST procedure in this Chapter.
CAUTION: The ELT switch should not be activated to any position unless the ELT
is connected to its associated antenna or a 50-ohm dummy load.
Operational testing of installed ELTs may be accomplished as follows:
NOTE: Tests should be no longer than three audio sweeps. One audio sweep may be defined as
amplitude modulating the carrier with an audio frequency sweeping downward over a
range of not less than 700Hz, within the range of 1600 to 300Hz, and a sweep repetition
rate between two and four Hz. Tests should be conducted only in the first five minutes
after the hour. If the operation tests must be made at a time not included within the first
five minutes after the hour, the tests should be coordinated with the nearest FAA tower
or flight service station.
NOTE: A distinctive downward sweeping tone should have been heard from the monitoring
receiver during the test. If the tone was heard, the ELT is functioning properly. If
there was no tone, (assuming that the VHF transceiver is operational), the battery is
probably disconnected, outdated or discharged.
(4) Place the ON-OFF-ARM switch on the ELT to OFF position. If the remote switch is being utilized
to test the unit, the switch should be released so it will return to the AUTO position. The audio
signal should disappear completely.
(5) Place the switch on the ELT to the ARM position. There should be no signal present.
NOTE: If a signal is heard, the impact switch has probably been activated and should
be reset.
(6) Firmly press the reset switch on the front of the ELT and listen to ensure the audio signal
disappears from COMM-1.
4. ELT Antenna
A. Removal
(1) Remove all electrical power from the airplane and disconnect the battery.
(2) Remove the attaching hardware from around the antenna base.
(3) Carefully break the seal between the antenna and the airplane skin surface.
(4) Disconnect the coaxial cable from the antenna and secure the cable so it will not fall into the
opening in the airplane skin.
(5) Remove the antenna from the airplane.
B. Installation
(1) Ensure that all electrical power is off and the battery is disconnected.
(2) Perform ANTENNA BONDING PROCEDURES (Ref. Chapter 23-10-00).
(3) Connect the coaxial connector to the antenna and position the antenna for installation.
(4) Secure the antenna to the airplane skin with the attaching screws. All screws should be uniformly
torqued. Refer to Chapter 20-01-00 for torquing information.
(5) Seal around the entire periphery of the antenna with sealer (2, Table 1, Chapter 23-00-00).
(6) Restore electrical power to the airplane.
(7) Perform the NARCO ELT 10 TESTING procedure in conjunction with the ELT ANTENNA TEST
procedure.
C. Test
NOTE: This test should be accomplished in conjunction with the NARCO ELT 10 TESTING
procedure.
A low quality AM broadcast receiver should be used to determine if energy is being transmitted from
the antenna. When the antenna of the radio (tuning dial on any setting) is held about 6 inches from
the activated ELT antenna, the ELT aural tone will be heard on the AM broadcast receiver. This is not
a measured check, but it does provide confidence that the antenna is radiating sufficient power to aid
search and rescue. The aircraft's VHF receiver, tuned to 121.5 MHz, may also be used. This receiver,
however, is more sensitive and could pick up a weak signal even if the radiating ELT's antenna is
disconnected. Thus it does not check the integrity of the ELT system or provide the same level of
confidence as does an AM radio (Ref. Figure 202).
1. Artex 110-4-002 Emergency Locator Transmitter - (UE-20 thru UE-23, UE-31 and After, and Prior
Airplanes With Kit 129-3009-5 Installed)
A. General
NOTE: When performing the mandatory 12 month inspection of the emergency locator transmitter
follow the instructions in the ARTEX Installation and Operation Manual.
Maintenance on the ELT is normally limited to replacing the battery. The following is a list of various
conditions which warrant battery replacement:
(1) Visual inspection shows signs of leakage, corrosion or insecure leads.
(2) Elapsed replacement date noted on the battery case.
(3) After any emergency use.
(4) After operation of unknown duration.
(5) If transmitter is stored in an area where the temperature is normally above 38° C (100° F), the
battery should be replaced every 12 months.
(4) Visually inspect connections ensuring that they are seated properly.
NOTE: Once all tests have satisfactorily been completed and all harness connections have
been verified to be correct, the connector at the ELT end of the ELT-to Remote
Switch harness should be sealed to prevent moisture from getting into the wire entry
holes. This can be done by applying an electronic grade, non-corrosive RTV (i.e.
GE RTV 162) around the wires entering the rear of the 12-pin connector.
Ensure each of the entry holes is filled with RTV. This will prevent water from beading
up and causing possible bridging between connector pins which could result in
false activation of the ELT.
C. Testing the Artex 110-4-002 ELT (Remote Switch adjacent to the ELT)(Airplanes Without Kit 129-3009-
1 Installed: UE-20 thru UE-23, UE-31 thru UE-157 and UE-159)
NOTE: If the ELT antenna is being tested for proper functioning. Refer to the ELT ANTENNA
TEST procedure.
The test consists of turning the unit on and then resetting it using the following procedures.
• Tests should be conducted between the times of on-the-hour until 5 minutes after the hour.
• If a test is conducted during a time other than the first five minutes after the hour, notify any
nearby control towers.
• Provide power to an aircraft radio and tune it to 121.5 Mhz.
• Place the ELT remote switch to ON. Wait for at least three sweeping tones on the aircraft radio,
which will take about 1 second, then return the switch to ARM.
• The test is successful if the sweeping tones are heard.
D. Testing the Artex 110-4-002 ELT (Remote Switch in the Cockpit)(UE-158, UE-160 and After and Prior
Airplanes With Kit 129-3009-1 or 129-3009-5 Installed)
NOTE: If the ELT antenna is being tested for proper functioning. Refer to the ELT ANTENNA
TEST procedure.
The test consists of turning the unit on and then resetting it using the following procedures.
• Tests should be conducted between the times of on-the-hour until 5 minutes after the hour.
• If a test is conducted during a time other than the first five minutes after the hour, notify any
nearby control towers.
• Provide power to an aircraft radio and tune it to 121.5 Mhz.
• Place the ELT remote switch to ON. Wait for at least three sweeping tones on the aircraft radio,
which will take about 1 second, then return the switch to ARM.
• The test is successful if the sweeping tones are heard and the yellow transmit light next to the
switch blinks immediately. If there is a delay in the illumination of the transmit light, the system
is not working properly.
If the ELT should be inadvertently activated by the "G" switch, the transmit light next to the switch will
blink. The ELT can be deactivated by momentarily placing the remote switch to ON and then back to
ARM.
(6) Inspect the battery pack and underside of the ELT. Battery cells, components and connectors
should be corrosion free. The underside of the ELT should be corrosion free. Inspect for any
broken wires or connections. Ensure the battery housing is free of cracks or other visible
damage.
(7) Prior to installing a new battery pack, remove the paper backing from the rubber seal at the
connector end of the battery pack. It is recommended that this seal be coated with a non-
petroleum based silicone grease (i.e. GE G-635) to provide a moisture resistant seal once the
battery is installed (Ref. Figure 201).
(8) Connect the 2-pin connector to the plug in the black plastic housing. Ensure the connector is
fully seated in the mating plug. This Step may cause the ELT to activate. Reset the ELT by
toggling the ON/OFF switch on the ELT from ON to OFF.
(9) Seat the battery pack on the ELT, dressing the harness wires away from the standoffs to avoid
pinching wires between the battery pack and the standoffs.
(10) Install the four Phillips head screws and tighten securely. Do not over torque the screws.
(11) Perform the ARTEX ELT 110-4-002 INSTALLATIONprocedure.
(12) Perform functional tests of the ELT system.
(13) Apply the battery expiration date label provided with the battery pack to the exterior of the ELT
as shown in Figure 201.
NOTE: Once all tests have satisfactorily been completed and all harness connections have
been verified to be correct, the connector at the ELT end of the ELT-to Remote
Switch harness should be sealed to prevent moisture from getting into the wire entry
holes. This can be done by applying an electronic grade, non-corrosive RTV (i.e.
GE RTV 162) around the wires entering the rear of the 12-pin connector.
Ensure each of the entry holes is filled with RTV. This will prevent water from beading
up and causing possible bridging between connector pins which could result in
false activation of the ELT.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. General
A. Fire Detection
Fire protection is provided through the use of a fire detection system for each engine. The major
components of the system are the heat-sensitive cable, the amplifier, the annunciator lights and the
associated wiring. The heat-sensitive cable is routed around the engine in such a manner as to warn
of abnormal heat in all fire-sensitive areas. The amplifier is located on the forward side of the forward
pressure bulkhead. The amplifier discriminates between a normal current through the heat-sensitive
cable or an abnormally high current indicating a fire. At the predetermined current level the amplifier
sends a signal to the fire annunciator in the instrument panel.
B. Bleed Air Warning
The bleed air warning system's primary components are pressurized ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA)
tubing, pressure switches, wiring and annunciators. The EVA tubing is routed in the proximity of all
hot bleed air plumbing and will melt if a bleed air leak develops. When the EVA tubing melts, the
pressure in the tubing is relieved and actuates a switch which causes an annunciator to illuminate.
C. Fire Extinguishing
The fire extinguishing system's primary components are the supply cylinder, squib, delivery tubing,
nozzles, control switch, warning annunciator and necessary wiring. There is an extinguisher system
for each engine. The supply cylinder is located in each main wheel well and contains 2.10 pounds of
Bromotrifluoromethane (CBrF3) extinguishing agent pressurized to approximately 360 psi.
D. Special Tools and Recommended Materials
The special tools and recommended materials listed as meeting federal, military or supplier
specifications are provided for reference only and are not specifically required by Textron Aviation
Inc. (TAI). Any product conforming to the specification listed may be used. The products included
in these Tables have been tested and approved for aviation usage by TAI, by the supplier, or by

1. General
A. Description
(1) The engine fire detection system is installed to provide immediate warning of a fire in the engine
compartment. The main elements of the system are the two thermally sensitive fire-zone cables
which are joined at one end and routed about the engine in a continuous loop (Ref. Figures 1
and 2).
(2) The routing of the cables is designed to monitor various sections of the engine and adjacent
temperature-sensitive regions. Arrangement of the fire-zone cables in a continuous loop enables
the system to be monitored for open circuit conditions while remaining operational should a single
break in the cable occur.
(3) Two toggle switches provide for testing of the fire detection system prior to takeoff. These
switches are placarded ENG FIRE TEST - DETECT, one for the LEFT system and one for
the RIGHT system. The three-position switches are spring-loaded to the OFF position. The
switch positions are placarded LOOP - OFF - AMP. When either toggle switch is placed in
the LOOP position, the integrity of the appropriate fire-zone cable is tested. A good test is
indicated when the yellow lights (FIRE LOOP) in the caution and advisory annunciator in the
lower center subpanel of the pedestal are illuminated. When either toggle switch is placed in
the AMP position, the integrity of the circuitry within the control amplifier is tested. A good test
is indicated by illumination of the red lights in the appropriate FIRE PULL "T" handle. Electrical
power for the fire detection system is supplied by a 5-amp circuit breaker, placarded FIRE
DETECT, located on the right side panel.
(4) The two fire-zone cables, one forward and one aft, are composed of a center wire surrounded by
a semiconductive material enclosed within a stainless steel sheath. As temperature increases,
the semiconductive material separating the center wire from the outer sheath becomes more
conductive and the resistance between the center wire and the outer sheath decreases. The
outer sheath is grounded to the airplane structure.
(5) A control amplifier, mounted on the forward pressure bulkhead behind the LH subpanel, is of the
short-circuit-discriminating type. The short-circuit discriminator is designed to monitor resistance
between ground and the center wire of the fire-zone cables, and is set to trip when the resistance
between the center wire of the cables and the sheath (ground) decreases to approximately 100
ohms. Once the control amplifier trips, a warning light in the firewall fuel shutoff valve handle
illuminates, signaling a fire in the engine compartment.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. General
Any time a fault is indicated by one of the following cockpit test procedures, one of the two checkout
procedures under MAINTENANCE PRACTICES should be performed. Failure to perform one of these
procedures may result in identifying a failure in the wrong component.
Should the checkout procedure fail to reveal a fault in the fire-zone loop, the fault may be assumed to be
in the control amplifier or its associated circuitry. When it is determined that no fault exists in the circuitry,
including the test switch circuits, the control amplifier should be replaced.
A. Fire Detector Test
Check the fire detector function of each ENG FIRE TEST - DETECT switch and its associated circuitry
as follows:
(1) Hold the RIGHT switch in the LOOP position.
(2) The fire-zone cable for the right engine is functional if the yellow FIRE LOOP annunciator in the
lower center subpanel is illuminated.
(3) Hold the RIGHT switch in the AMP position.
(4) The amplifier is functional if the red light in the FIRE PULL "T" handle is illuminated.
(5) Repeat these tests for the LEFT switch.
B. Troubleshooting
While the following troubleshooting table may not indicate all possible fault conditions, the most
common faults are listed in order of their most probable occurrence.
(11) Reduce the temperature setting of the heater probe to 0°C and verify that the FIRE light in the
firewall fuel shutoff valve handle extinguishes.
(12) Disconnect the heater probe from the aft fire-zone cable.
(13) Repeat the test procedure for the other engine.
(14) Remove the test set from the airplane.
(15) Install the engine cowling (Ref. Chapter 71-10-00).
B. Without JETCAL
(1) Remove the engine cowling (Ref. Chapter 71-10-00).
(2) Disconnect the battery and remove all electrical power from the airplane.
(3) Disconnect the fire detection cable harness plug (W8P1) from the electrical receptacle (J410)
on the firewall (Ref. Chapter 26, Model 1900D Airliner Wiring Diagram Manual).
(4) Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between pins "A" and "B" of plug (W8P1). This
resistance must not exceed 10.9 ohms. Resistance in excess of 10.9 ohms indicates a poor
connection or an open center wire in the fire-zone cable.
(5) Locate the fire-zone-interconnect fittings which pass through the lower RH side of the fireseal.
(6) Remove the sealer from the fittings and separate the two fire-zone cables.
(7) Using a good quality digital multimeter capable of reading megohms, measure the resistance
between pin "B" and the outer sheath of the aft fire-zone cable. Measure the ambient
temperature. The measured resistance must not be less than the amount indicated in Table
201 for the current ambient temperature. Insufficient resistance will necessitate replacing the
aft fire-zone cable.
(8) Measure the resistance between pin "A" of the firewall plug (W8P1) and the outer sheath of
the forward fire-zone cable. The ambient temperature must be between 50°F and 100°F. A
resistance of less than 1.7 megohms necessitates replacement of the forward fire-zone cable.
(9) Reconnect the two fire-zone cables and replace the sealer (1, Table 2, 26-00-00) as necessary.
(10) Reconnect the fire detection plug (W8P1) to the receptacle (J410 RH or J409 LH) on the firewall.
(11) Install the engine cowling (Ref. Chapter 71-10-00).
(12) Connect the battery and restore electrical power to the airplane.
1. General - (UE-207 thru UE-299 with KIT 129-5031-1; UE-300 and AFTER)
The lavatory fire detection system is installed to provide immediate warning of smoke in the lavatory. The
main element of the system is a smoke detector on the vanity partition, located aft of the mirror.
Electrical power to the smoke detector is supplied by a 2-amp circuit breaker, placarded SMOKE DET
(OPT), located on the electrical equipment panel under the cabin floorboard (Zone 133). A red annunciator
light (LAVATORY SMOKE) on the glareshield illuminates when smoke is detected in the lavatory.

1. General
The engine bleed air warning system provides a visual indication of a rupture in the bleed air lines so that
the bleed air valve from the affected engine can be shut down before heat of the escaping air damages
the skin and structure adjacent to the break in the line. The bleed air lines are in close proximity with
ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) tubing from the engines to the cabin. Excessive heat on the tubing caused
by a ruptured bleed air line will melt the tubing. The system has two pressure switches mounted just
forward of the main spar under the center cabin floorboard. The two switches are pressurized by air
tapped off the line from the bleed air manifold mounted under the center floorboard forward of the main
spar. Refer to Figure 1 for routing of the EVA tubing. When the tubing melts and the tubing pressure
drops below the pressure required to keep the pressure switch actuated, the normally open switch in the
line will close, causing a circuit to be completed to the respective BLEED AIR FAIL light in the warning
annunciator panel. When the indication of bleed air failure becomes evident, the bleed air for that side
must be turned off by placing the respective bleed air valve switch in the INST ENVIR OFF position.
When the switch is placed in this position, the engine firewall shutoff valve closes, stopping bleed air flow
at the engine firewall. Each time the system is actuated, the EVA tubing in the area where the damage
occurred must be replaced or repaired.

NOTE: If beading the aluminum tubing is not possible, bond the tube in place with adhesive
(4, Table 2, 26-00-00). If the splice is bonded in place, exercise care to avoid
plugging the tube with the adhesive.
(3) Place the appropriate BLEED AIR VALVES switch in the INST & ENVR OFF position and verify
that the L BL AIR FAIL and R BL AIR FAIL light illuminates.
(4) Establish lowest obtainable ITT for two minutes prior to shutting down the engine.
1. General
A. Description
(1) A fire extinguisher supply cylinder is mounted on brackets aft of the main spar in the wheel
well of each main landing gear (Ref. Figures 1 and 2). Each cylinder is charged with 2.10
pounds of Bromotrifluoromethane (CBrF3) pressurized to 360 psi +25, -0 at 70°F. The line from
the cylinder runs along the side of the nacelle and branches into two spray tubes strategically
located about the engine to diffuse the extinguishing agent in the event of a fire. One of the
nozzles is positioned to discharge into the engine exhaust area and the other discharges into
the accessory area. Once activated, the entire supply of extinguishing agent is discharged.
The control switches used to activate the system are located on the glareshield at each end
of the warning annunciator panel. Their power is derived from the hot battery bus through the
microswitches mounted on the firewall fuel shutoff valve.
(2) The fire extinguisher supply cylinder is equipped with a safety valve located near the bottom of
the cylinder. If the cylinder becomes excessively overpressurized, the excess pressure is vented
through the safety valve. The safety valve also serves as a fill port when the cylinder is being
serviced. Any time the cylinder has vented the extinguishing agent through the safety valve the
cylinder must be returned to a servicing station to be refilled.
(3) The airplane is equipped with two toggle switches (installed in the copilot's inboard subpanel)
placarded ENG FIRE TEST - DETECT, one for the LEFT system and one for the RIGHT system.
These switches are for the purpose of testing the circuitry of the fire extinguisher pyrotechnic
cartridges and diaphragms. When the switches are moved to the EXT TEST A position, the
illumination of the appropriate amber D and green OK light indicates that the circuits to the squib
and to the diaphragm are functional. When the switches are moved to the TEST B position, the
green OK light in the glareshield illuminates to indicate that the other squib circuit is functional.
The toggle switches are spring-loaded and will return automatically to the center OFF position.
(4) The push-to-activate control switches located on glareshield at each end of the warning
annunciator panel incorporate three indicator lights. On UE-2 thru UE-92, the red L or R ENG
FIRE PUSH TO EXT lens indicates that the firewall fuel shutoff valve has been actuated to arm
the fire extinguisher push-button circuitry; the green OK lens is provided only for preflight testing
of the squib circuitry; the amber D lens monitors the condition of the cylinder diaphragm and
charge. On UE-93 and after, the upper half of the control switch has EXTINGUISHER PUSH
in aviation yellow gothic letters on an opaque black background to indicate that the firewall fuel
shutoff valve has been actuated to arm the push-button circuitry of the fire extinguisher; the
lower RH section of the switch is placarded OK in aviation green gothic letters on an opaque
black background to provide for preflight testing of the squib circuitry; the lower LH section of
switch is placarded DISCH in aviation yellow gothic letters on an opaque black background and
monitors the condition of the cylinder diaphragm and charge. As long as the cylinder diaphragm
is intact and the cylinder is not discharged, this light (placarded D in amber on UE-2 thru UE-92,
placarded DISCH in aviation yellow on UE-93 and after) will remain off, except during testing of
the squib circuitry. When the cartridge is fired to rupture the diaphragm, the light will come on
and will remain on until the diaphragm is replaced (a serviced cylinder installed).

A disposable fire extinguisher is located in the lavatory vanity under the handi-wipes support shelf above
the trash bin. The extinguisher is a steel container with discharge tubes welded on the bottom. Each
discharge tube has an end cap, sealed with a fusible alloy, that keeps the extinguishing agent in the
container. The tubes are positioned to discharge into the trash bin. The container is charged with 0.221 to
0.287 pounds of bromotriflouromethane (CBrF3). The container is designed for a single operation and
must be replaced if the extinguishing agent is discharged. No electrical power is necessary to operate the
container. The extinguisher operates automatically when the temperature of the end caps increases to
170°F to 177°F. At this temperature, the fusible alloy, that seals the end caps, melts and releases the end
caps from the discharge tubes. This allows the extinguishing agent to discharge.

1. General
All flight controls, with the exception of the flaps, are cable operated conventional surfaces which require
no power assistance for normal control by the pilot or copilot; however a downspring and bob weight are
incorporated into the elevator control system for improved stability. The flaps and the optional elevator
trim are electrically powered. An independent yaw damp/rudder boost system is installed on airplanes not
equipped with an autopilot. The autopilot is equipped with a self-contained yaw damp system.
All primary flight control surfaces are manually controlled through cable-pulley-bellcrank systems. Dual
controls are provided for operation by either the pilot or the copilot. The ailerons and elevators are
operated by conventional control wheels interconnected by a "T" shaped control column. Rudder pedals
are interconnected by a linkage below the crew compartment floor. Rudder bellcranks are adjustable
to two positions which move the rudder pedals approximately one inch forward or aft. Surface travel
stops and linkage adjustments are incorporated into each cable-pulley-bellcrank system. Coordinated
movements of the rudder and ailerons is provided by an aileron/rudder interconnect system to further
enhance flight handling characteristics.
Ailerons, elevators and rudder may be secured with control locks installed in the crew compartment when
the airplane is on the ground and out of service.
Two flaps installed on each wing are operated by an electric motor-driven gearbox mounted on the
forward side of the rear spar at the centerline of the airplane. The gearbox drives four flexible drive shafts,
each connected to an Acme thread-type jackscrew at each flap. A flap limit safety switch is provided to
disconnect power to the electric motor in the event of any type of failure which causes any flap to be 3° to
6° out of phase with the adjacent flap. The flaps are controlled by a lever mounted in the pedestal. Flap
lever detents are provided to select UP, 17.5° and DOWN flap positions. Wing flap position is shown
by an indicator located in the pedestal near the flap control lever. The indicator is controlled by a flap
position potentiometer which is actuated by the right inboard flap.
Trim tabs are installed on the left aileron, the rudder and each elevator. The tabs are manually controlled
by the pilot through drum-cable systems using jackscrew actuators. The tabs are driven by the actuators
through an adjustable double-clevis rod assembly capable of removing joint freeplay. Tab position
indicators are provided on the pedestal tab controls.
The optional electric motor-driven elevator trim tabs must be activated by turning on a master switch on
the pedestal console. Operation of the system is then controlled by switches on the outboard handle of
each control wheel. Electrical protection for the electric elevator trim control system is provided through
a 5 ampere circuit breaker located in the RH circuit breaker panel.
Positive stops on the primary flight control surfaces limit their travel, while traveling stops secured to the
cables limit trim tab movement. The Aileron Trim Tab Control System illustration in Chapter 27-10-05, the
Rudder Tab Control System illustration in Chapter 27-20-05 and the Elevator Trim Tab Control System
illustration in Chapter 27-30-04, show the proper method of safetying the aileron, rudder and elevator trim
tab cable stops to prevent their loosening and moving on cables. Because the cables are connected
together with turnbuckles, each cable has one left-hand and one right-hand threaded cable end. Proper
winding of the cables on the pedestal and actuator drums, is shown in the Aileron Trim Tab Control Cable
Winding illustration in Chapter 27-10-05 for aileron tabs, the Rudder Tab Control Cable Winding illustration
in Chapter 27-20-05 for rudder tabs and the Elevator Trim Tab Control Cable Winding illustration in Chapter
27-30-04 for elevator tabs, ensures against crossing the cables and causing improper trim tab movement.
Refer to the applicable rigging procedures for details regarding chain and cable tension, control wheel
movement and force, downspring force and systems friction.

NOTE: If discrepancies are noted during this inspection, perform the CONTROL COLUMN
BEARING SUPPORT REPAIR procedure.
CAUTION: If the gap between the support arm (5) and the bearing support
(6) exceeds 0.020-inch and/or loose, working or missing rivets are
found, inspect adjacent attachment intercostal/keel (7) area for
deformation and cracks (Ref. Figure 201).
(2) Inspect left and right control column bearing supports (6) for loose, working or missing rivets.
(3) Check the gap between left and right support arm (5) and bearing support (6) to verify the gap
does not exceed 0.020-inch.
(4) If applicable, install the access panel.
B. Repair
This procedure should only be performed to correct discrepancies found in use or during a detailed
periodic inspection (Ref. Chapter 05-20-04).
NOTE: Install suitable cable blocks forward of floor member at approximately FS 107 prior
to disconnecting the aileron control column cables.
NOTE: The radio panel in the center of the instrument panel may need to be removed
for clearance (Ref. Chapter 31-10-00).
(12) Remove the control column mounting bolts (8). Raise the control column (10) and support in
place using a dowel rod inserted into the lower tube (support arm cross member just forward of
the bearing supports).
(13) Carefully remove rivets and remove the bearing supports (6) (Ref. Model 1900 Airliner Series
Structural Repair Manual, Chapter 51-40-02).
(14) Inspect the bearing supports (6) and the support arm (5) for damage. Inspect for damage in the
adjacent area and ensure that the proper edge margin for the bearing support and support arm
is maintained.
(15) If necessary drill the support arm and bearing support attach holes to 0.159 to 0.164-inch
diameter.
NOTE: It is recommended that the bearing support attach rivets be installed with the
manufactured (resultant) head of the rivet on the inboard side of the support arm.
(16) Attach each bearing support (6) to the support arm (5) on the control column with 6 CR3213-5
Cherry Max rivets or MS20470AD5 solid rivets (Ref. Model 1900 Airliner Series Structural Repair
Manual, Chapter 51-40-02).
(17) Ensure the gap between the bearing support (6) and the support arm (5) does not exceed 0.020-
inch.
NOTE: The maximum unshimmed total gap between the bearing supports (6) and the
adjacent attachment intercostal/keels (7) measured prior to bolt installation is
not to exceed 0.156-inch. Shim as required with washers (NAS1149F0516P,
NAS1149F0532P, NAS1149F0563P, AN960-516, or AN960-516L) between the
bearing supports and the adjacent attachment intercostals/keels to reduce the total
gap to a maximum of 0.030-inch (0.015-inch maximum per side). Shim equally on
each side of the control column. It is acceptable to substitute bolts up to two grip
lengths longer as required to allow washers to be added while maintaining at least 1
1/2 thread protrusion through the nut.
It is recommended that control column mounting bolts be installed with the bolt head
on the outside of the attachment intercostal/keel and the nut on the inside of the
support arm.
(18) Carefully lower the control column into place and insert mount bolts into the left and right
attachment intercostal/keel and the adjacent bearing support.
(19) Position the control column to either the left, or right side until the bearing support touches the
adjacent attachment (intercostal/keel). On the same side, install the washer (9) and nut (3) on
the mounting bolt (8) and torque 50 to 65 inch-pounds.
(20) On the opposite side measure the resultant gap between the bearing and adjacent attachment

1. Procedures
A. Travel Boards
Travel boards are used to aid in rigging of the primary and secondary control surfaces. A list of Textron
Aviation Inc. approved travel boards are found in Table 201.
Travel boards for the primary control surfaces are constructed of aluminum with phenolic or nylon
locating stops to set the travel board on the control surface. Once these stops are located on the
surface, zero position and surface limits can be read on the respective boards.
Travel boards for the secondary surfaces (trim tabs) are made from stainless steel. These "wedge"
style travel boards are designed to nest on the primary control surface adjacent to the trim tab. The
trim tab zero position and the trim tab surface limits can be read on the respective boards.
* The following list of travel boards have been reidentified to those listed in Table 1, Chapter 27-00-00,
but are approved: D810-1 118-130000-3 (Aileron), D810-2 118-130000-1 (Aileron Trim Tab), D807
1114-630000-1 (Rudder), D810 130-630000-1 (Rudder Trim Tab), D807-2 101-610000-1 (Elevator),

Table 206. Aileron Trim Tab, Rudder Trim Tab and Elevator Trim Tab Travel Board Dimensions
Aileron Trim Tab and Rudder Trim Tab Travel Board Arrangement
Figure 214 (Sheet 1)
1. Aileron
A. Removal
The aileron is operated by an arm on the aileron bellcrank located at the inboard end of each aileron.
The arm is connected through a tapered pin to a hinged yoke mounted in the aileron just inboard of
the inboard aileron hinge.
Only the left aileron incorporates an aileron trim tab. The aileron trim tab push-pull rods connect
directly to the actuator mounted on the aft side of the rear spar.
(3) On the LH aileron, remove the bolts, washers and nuts connecting the underside of the aileron
trim tab to the push-pull rods from the aileron trim tab actuator. The double-clevis ends on the
trim tab actuator push-pull rods are designed to tighten the outer clevis with a binding action
against the clevis bolt and the inner clevis, which removes freeplay of the bolt in the hole. Loosen
the outer clevis first (the larger nut) before removing the clevis bolt.
(4) Remove screws (7), washers (8) and nuts (10) attaching the bonding jumpers (11) to the aileron
at the outboard, middle and inboard hinge points (Ref. Figure 201).
(5) While providing support at each end of the aileron, remove safety wire, bolt (5) and washer (4)
securing the inboard hinge bracket on the wing.
(6) Remove six screws (9) attaching the aileron (6) to the middle hinge clevis (16).
(7) Remove four screws (9) attaching the aileron (6) to the outboard hinge clevis (16).
(8) Remove the aileron (6) from the wing, taking care not to cause damage while disengaging the
yoke tapered pin (14) on either aileron (6), or while removing the trim tab actuator push-pull rods
from the LH aileron and trim tab assembly.
B. Installation
NOTE: Any repair, modification, painting or replacement of the aileron or aileron trim tab requires
balancing (Ref. Chapter 57-60-00).
(1) Inspect the aileron trim tab actuator push-pull rods for safety wire as shown in View A-A and B-B
of Figure 202. Install if not found.
(2) Prepare the area where the bonding jumpers attach for electrical bonding (Ref. Chapter 20-03-
00, METAL SURFACE PREPARATION).
(3) Lightly lubricate yoke tapered pin (14) and the bellcrank arm bearing (13) with grease (1, Table
2, 27-00-00) (Ref. Figure 201, Detail E).
(4) On the LH aileron, carefully guide the aileron trim tab push-pull rods through the aileron.
NOTE: On the inboard aileron hinge fitting the hat portion of the bushing (3) does not rest
against the fitting (2). The extra grip length bushing is used intentionally to avoid
aileron hinge bearing becoming pinched if hinge bolt is over-torqued (Ref. Figure
201, View E).
(5) With assistance, align the aileron with the middle and outboard hinge clevises (16) and the
inboard hinge bracket on the wing, engage the tapered pin (14) into the bellcrank arm bearing
(13).
(6) Loosely install six screws (9) securing the aileron (6) to the middle hinge clevis (16).
(7) Loosely install four screws (9) securing the aileron (6) to the outboard hinge clevis (16).

using screws (7), washers (8) and nuts (10).
(11) Install 0.032 inch diameter safety wire (6) through the push-pull rods as shown (Ref. Figure 202,
View C-C).
WARNING: Any time the aileron trim tab push-pull rods are installed or
adjusted, the inspection holes near the ends of the rods must
be checked to ascertain that the threads of the end fittings are
visible.
(12) On the left-hand aileron, align the aileron trim tab double-clevis ends with the trim tab control
horns and install the bolts, washers, nuts and cotter pins. Tighten the clevis jam nuts.
NOTE: The double-clevis ends on the trim tab actuator push-pull rods are designed to
tighten the outer clevis with a binding action against the clevis bolt and the inner
clevis, which removes freeplay of the bolt in the hole. Install the clevis bolt and
tighten the large jam nut on the outer clevis.
With the flaps fully retracted and the aileron in the neutral position, the clearances noted
in Figure 203 must be maintained. The gaps between the aileron and the outboard
flap and between the aileron and the winglet should be constant within ± 0.06 inch
from the leading edge to the trailing edge. These dimensions do not apply to the
lower forward area between the aileron and the outboard flap where the aileron
tapers outboard.

NOTE: If wing heavy condition cannot be corrected using this procedure alone the FLAP
ADJUSTMENT TO CORRECT A WING HEAVY CONDITION procedure (Ref. 27-50-05)
may be used in conjunction with this procedure.
(1) Perform the AILERON FUNCTIONAL CHECK procedure to ensure proper aileron system
operation prior to performing the following procedure (Ref. 27-10-03).
(2) Perform the FLAP SYSTEM FUNCTIONAL CHECK procedure to ensure proper flap alignment
prior to performing the following procedure (Ref. 27-50-05).
NOTE: The aileron ground adjustable trim tab is located on the right aileron only and is
used to correct aileron load with the aileron trim set to zero (Ref. Figure 206).
(3) The line of rivets on the trailing edge of the aileron should be stabilized while the bendable
trim tab is being adjusted. This will reduce the risk of bending the aileron trailing edge out of
symmetry as well as causing paint to crack. A shop aid used to stabilize the trailing edge can
be built by performing the following Steps:
(a) Figure 207 shows a top and bottom rivet brace that fits over the rivet line and are clamped
by toggle pliers. Fabricate both rivet braces by cutting two iron bars to the dimensions
shown in Figure 207. The top and bottom rivet braces are identical in form.
(b) Obtain two pair of toggle pliers and weld the lower jaw of each pliers to a corresponding
cut out in one of the rivet braces as shown in Figure 208 sheet 1. The rivet brace must
be oriented with the slot facing up and the aft surface facing the pliers (Ref. Figure 208
sheets 1 thru 3).
(c) Drill out and tap the ends of the toggle pliers upper jaws to accept a three inch bolt with a
stop nut (Ref. Figure 208, Sheet 1).
(d) Obtain two swivel fittings then drill and tap the fittings to accept the three inch bolts. Weld
each of the swivel fittings to the cut outs in the remaining rivet brace (Ref. Figure 209).

diameter of the taper pin should not exceed 0.005 inch. If the difference exceeds 0.005 inch,
it must be determined which part(s) needs to be replaced by comparing the existing part
dimensions to new part dimensions. A new pin measures 0.3742 / 0.3737 inch diameter in the
area that engages into the bellcrank bearing. A new bearing inside diameter measures 0.3750
/ 0.3745 inch. It is permissible to allow these parts to wear beyond the new part tolerances;
however, the 0.005 inch difference between the two diameters should not be exceeded.

B. Installation
WARNING: Perform all Steps of this procedure, in the order listed. Do not skip
any Steps of this procedure. Failure to do so may result in injury
to personnel and damage to equipment.
CAUTION: If tension in the system is lost during cable maintenance, check the
forward cable drum and rudder trim tab actuator cable drum to ensure
the cable is not unwound from drums.Where the cables pass through
structure, the areas of possible contact between the control cables and
adjacent structure must be protected with protective elements such as
grommets, rub strips, block or guide fairings. Where contact of control
cables does occur with the protective elements, a force no greater than
eight (8) ounces shall be required to move the cable to a position of no
contact. At no time should flight control cables contact metal structure
with the protective elements removed.

1. General
A. Yaw Damp System
The Yaw Damp System is installed on airplanes not equipped with an autopilot to aid the pilot with
directional control.
The yaw damp portion of this system senses changes in headings through a yaw rate sensor and dual
yaw damp computers in the nose avionics compartment, which it converts into directions sent to the
electric rudder servo in the aft fuselage section. The electric rudder servo in turn operates the rudder
control cables, moving the rudder in the appropriate direction to stabilize the yaw axis of the airplane.
To activate the yaw damp portion of this system, the pedestal mounted YAW ENG annunciator/switch
must be pressed and held until the self-test is complete and the yaw damp system is engaged.
Activation of this system also requires that the airplane's master BATT switch be in the ON
position and either No. 1 or No. 2 inverter be selected. The system may be disengaged by
momentarily pressing the YD DISC switch on either of the control wheels, or by pressing the YD
ENG annunciator/switch in the pedestal console.
A test circuit, which tests the functional integrity of the yaw damp system, is an integral function of
the computer and is energized by pressing and holding YD ENG annunciator/switch in the pedestal
console. A positive test of the yaw damp system is indicated when the YD ENG annunciator is lighted
and the yaw damp system is engaged (Ref Figure 1).
NOTE: A switch in the pedestal console selects which yaw damp computer will be used. The
yaw damp test must be done on both computers.
If the airplane is equipped with a Textron Aviation Inc. installed autopilot, the autopilot will incorporate
the yaw damp capabilities. Refer to the appropriate autopilot flight manual supplement for details
which may vary from the above description.
B. Rudder Boost System
The rudder boost system senses engine torque pressure from both engines through torque pressure
transmitters located on the forward right side of each engine. When differences in engine torque
pressure between the engines exceeds a preset level, the electric servo in the aft fuselage section
is activated and deflects the rudder, which assists pilot effort. Servo contribution is proportional to
engine torque pressure differential. Trimming of the rudder must be accomplished by the pilot.
Activation of the rudder boost system is through a switch in the pedestal extension, placarded
RUDDER BOOST - OFF - YAW CONTROL TEST. Switching to the RUDDER BOOST position turns
the system on. The rudder boost system is disabled if the RUDDER BOOST switch is OFF and is
interrupted when the DISC TRIM/AP YD switch on the control wheel is depressed to the first level.
A yellow caution annunciator, RUD BOOST OFF, is provided on the CAUTION/ADVISORY
annunciator panel to indicate when the rudder boost control switch is in a position other than
RUDDER BOOST (on).
If the airplane is equipped with a Textron Aviation Inc. installed autopilot, the autopilot will incorporate
the rudder boost capabilities. Refer to the appropriate autopilot flight manual supplement for details
which may vary from the above description.

This inspection is to be performed with the elevator installed.
(1) Inspect inboard, center and outboard hinge support (4) rivets in the elevator upper and lower
skin (13) and in the elevator spar (14). At the outboard hinge, the two outboard spar rivets
do not need to be inspected if the other rivets in the outboard hinge support meet inspection
requirements. If the two outboard spar rivets need to be inspected, remove the plug in the rib
just forward of the hinge support and use a borescope. Replace any loose or missing rivets (Ref.
Model 1900 Airliner Series Structural Repair Manual, Chapter 55-90-07, Figure 1).
(2) With assistance, move the elevator from full down to full up as many times as necessary to
assure clearance between the elevators and the horizontal stabilizer. Inspect for 0.137 inch
minimum clearance between the leading edge (nose) of the elevators and any part of the
horizontal stabilizer trailing edge at any position of the elevators.
(3) Move the elevators from full down to full up as many times as necessary to assure clearance
between the elevators and the aft fairing. Inspect for 0.12 inch minimum clearance between the
inboard end of the elevators and the aft fairing (tail cone) at any position of the elevators.
(4) Move the elevator from full down to full up as many times as necessary to assure clearance
between the elevators and the horizontal stabilizer. Inspect the outboard end of the elevators
where the balance weights are installed. There must be clearance between the elevator and the
horizontal stabilizer at any position of the elevators. Examine the leading edge and the inboard
side of the balance weights for protruding screw heads.
(5) Perform the ELEVATOR OPERATIONAL CHECK procedure (Ref. 27-30-02).

(4).
(6) Remove rig pin (3) from the aft elevator bellcrank (6) (Ref. Figure 208).
(7) Lower the elevators to the down position. With the primary stop bolt(s) (5) contacting the elevator
control horn(s), use the travel board(s) to measure the position of the elevators. The elevators
must have down travel of 14° +1°/ -0°and the lower stop bolts (5) must be contacting their
respective elevator control horns in the down stop bolt contact area (11) (Ref. Figure 204).
(8) If no adjustment is required, proceed to Step (9). If adjustments are required, perform the
following Steps:
(a) Remove the safety wire (7) from the stop bolt(s) (5) (Ref. Figure 204).
(b) Loosen the jam nut(s) (2) on the stop bolt(s) (5).
(c) Adjust the stop bolt(s) (5) so both elevators are at 14° +1°/ -0°and so the elevator control
horn down stop bolt contact area (11) on both elevator control horns are contacting their
respective down stop bolt(s) (5).
(d) When adjustment is complete, tighten the jam nut(s) (2) on the stop bolt(s) (5) and safety
wire (21, Table 2, 27-00-00).
(9) With assistance, pull the cockpit control wheel (yoke) aft and hold to maintain the elevators in
the up position.
(10) Use the travel board(s) to measure the position of the elevators. The elevators must have up
travel of 20° +1°/ -0° and the upper stop bolts (5) must be contacting their respective elevator
control horns in the up stop bolt contact area (3) (Ref. Figure 204).
(11) If no adjustments are required, proceed to Step (12). If adjustments are required, perform the
following Steps:
(a) Remove the safety wire (7) from the stop bolt(s) (5) (Ref. Figure 204).
(b) Loosen the jam nut(s) (2) on the stop bolt(s) (5).
(c) Adjust the stop bolt(s) (5) so the elevators are at 20° +1°/ -0° and so the elevator control
horn up stop bolt contact area (3) on both elevator control horns are contacting their
respective up stop bolt(s) (5).
(d) When adjustment is complete, tighten the jam nut(s) (2) on the stop bolt(s) (5) and safety
wire (21, Table 2, 27-00-00).
(12) Move the elevator surface (1) and install a rig pin (3) (20, Table 1, 27-00-00) in the aft elevator
bellcrank through the vertical stabilizer (4). Using minimum force try to manually move the
elevators up and down to verify that the rig pin is correctly installed. Ensure that the elevators
do not move. Look at the opposite side of the vertical stabilizer to verify that the rig pin has
protruded (Ref. Figure 208).
(13) Check the cable tension by performing the following Steps:
NOTE: The forward bellcrank rig pin must NOT be installed when measuring the cable
tensions to calculate the combined (average) tension (Tc).
(a) Allow the temperature of the airframe to stabilize before measuring and adjusting the cable
tension.
NOTE: Do not measure the tension when the temperature is varying rapidly or with
the airplane located in direct sunlight.
(b) Measure the temperature in the compartment next to the elevator cables (3 and 4) near
the turnbuckles (1 and 2) (Ref. Figure 206).
(c) Refer to Figure 202, Elevator Cable Tension Graph, and read the pounds of tension for the
measured temperature.
(d) Position a cable tensiometer (9, Table 1, 27-00-00) at least three inches from the
turnbuckles (1 and 2) and measure the cable tension of both cables (3 and 4) (Ref. Figure
206). Cable diameter is noted in Figure 202.
(e) Record the values as T up (aft cable) and T down (fwd cable). Calculate the combined
(average) tension (Tc) by adding the T up and T down tensions together and divide by two.
Example: Tc = (T up + T down) ÷ 2.
NOTE: The combined tension (Tc) must be within a ± 8 pounds tolerance of the
tension found in Figure 202.
Cable tension adjustment, if needed, is performed later in this procedure. Do not
adjust tension at this time.
(14) Check that the forward elevator bellcrank is synchronized with the aft elevator bellcrank by
performing the following Steps:
(a) Install a rig pin in the forward elevator bellcrank rig pin hole (2). The rig pin should be
inserted through the forward elevator bellcrank (4) with minimum forward and aft force of
the control column (Ref. Figure 207). If rig pin can not be installed with minimum forward
and aft force of the control column, proceed to Step (17).
(b) Visually inspect to ensure that the rig pin is properly installed through the forward elevator
bellcrank rig pin hole (2) to ensure that both the forward and aft elevator bellcranks are
synchronized (Ref. Figure 207).
(c) Raise and lower the forward rig pin while trying to move the control column forward and
aft. The rig pin should move with minimum movement of the control column.
(d) Remove the forward elevator bellcrank rig pin.
(15) If the tension meets requirements per Step (13) (e) and the forward rig pin can be installed per
Step (14) (a), proceed to Step (18) and continue checking the elevator system.
(16) If the tension does not meet requirements per Step (13) (e) and/or the forward elevator bellcrank
rig pin cannot be installed per Step (14) (a), proceed to Step (17) for adjustment.
WARNING: Changing the cable tension may affect other parts of the
elevator system. Do not adjust the cable tension per Step
(17) only. If the cable tension must be adjusted, the elevator
system must be rigged per the entire ELEVATOR CONTROL
SYSTEM RIGGING procedure.
(17) If adjustment is needed, perform the following Steps:
(a) Remove the safety clips (5) from the elevator turnbuckles (1 and 2) (Ref. Figure 206).
(d) Adjust the cable tension by adjusting each turnbuckle (1 and 2) to the tension value ± 2
pounds needed at the current temperature found in Figure 202. The turnbuckles (1 and 2)
must be adjusted in opposite directions to achieve the cable tensions (Ref. Figure 206).
NOTE: (Information Only) The down cable tension is increased and the up cable
tension is decreased at this time, because the bobweight will change the cable
tension when the forward elevator bellcrank rig pin is removed.
(e) Increase the forward (down) elevator cable tension by 1/2 additional turn. Decrease the
aft (up) elevator cable tension by 1/2 turn. Both turnbuckles will be adjusted in the same
direction.
(f) Measure the elevator cable tensions to verify that the forward (down) elevator cable tension
has increased and the aft (up) elevator cable tension has decreased. If this has not been
achieved, return to Step (17) (d). If this has been achieved, proceed to Step (17) (g).
(g) Remove the forward elevator bellcrank rig pin.
(h) Position the cable tensiometer (9, Table 1, 27-00-00) at least three inches from the
turnbuckles and measure the cable tension of both cables. Cable diameter is noted in
Figure 202.
(i) Record the values as T up (aft cable) and T down (fwd cable). Calculate the combined
(average) tension (Tc) by adding the T up and T down tensions together and divide by two.
Example: Tc = (T up + T down) ÷ 2.
NOTE: The combined tension (Tc) must be within a ± 8 pounds tolerance of the
tension found in Figure 202.
(j) If the combined cable tension (Tc) is above the maximum, perform Step (17) and set the
cable tensions slightly lower while meeting the requirements of each Step.
(k) If the combined cable tension (Tc) is below the minimum, perform Step (17) and set the
cable tensions slightly higher while meeting the requirements of each Step.
(l) Install safety clips (5) on the turnbuckles (1 and 2) (Ref. Figure 206 and Chapter 20-07-00).
(m) Example: The cable tension was found to be low. With the aft elevator bellcrank rig pin
installed, the cable tension did not need to be relaxed when installing the forward elevator
bellcrank rig pin. The temperature is measured at 59° Fahrenheit. Figure 202 shows
66 pounds as the desired tension. Each turnbuckle is turned one to two turns tighter.
The tension is still low, so each turnbuckle is turned another turn tighter. With both rig
pins installed, the cable tension of the forward cable is 68 pounds and the aft cable is
65 pounds, so both cables are within ± 2 pounds of the 66 pounds per Figure 202. The
forward elevator cable turnbuckle is tightened 1/2 additional turn. The aft elevator cable
turnbuckle is loosened 1/2 turn. The tensions of both cables are measured to verify that
the forward cable tension increased and the aft cable tension decreased. The forward
elevator bellcrank rig pin is removed and the cable tension is measured. The up (aft) cable
measures 57 pounds and the down (forward) cable tension measures 75 pounds. The
combined tension is calculated:
Tc = (T up + T down) ÷ 2
Example:
T up = 57 lbs, T down = 75 lbs
57 + 75 ÷ 2 = 132 ÷ 2 = 66 lbs = Acceptable
(18) Verify that the safety clips (5) are installed on both turnbuckles (Ref. Figure 206).
(19) Remove the aft elevator bellcrank rig pin (3) (Ref. Figure 208).
(20) With assistance, manually push up on the elevator surface until the elevator control horns contact
the up stop bolts in the tail. Use a go/no-go scale (21, Table 1, 27-00-00) to verify that the forward
elevator bellcrank up stop bolt (1) has a 0.37 ± 0.06 inch clearance from the stop bracket (2)
located in the structure (Ref. Figure 201).
CAUTION: Carefully lower the elevator surface. Do not allow the elevator to
free fall to the down position. This could cause damage to the
elevator system.
(21) Slowly lower the elevator surface until the elevator control horns rest on the down stop bolts in the
tail. Use a go/no-go scale (21, Table 1, 27-00-00) to verify that the forward elevator bellcrank
down stop bolt (6) has a 0.31 +0.12/ -0 inch clearance from the stop bolt (5) located in the
structure.
(22) If adjustment is needed, loosen the jam nut(s) (7) on the stop bolt(s) (1 and/or 6) and adjust the
bolt(s). Check the clearance. When adjustment is completed, tighten the stop bolt jam nut(s)
(7).
WARNING: After May 2014, Ensure Mandatory Service Bulletin 27-4119 has
been accomplished and Kit 114-5060 has been installed.
CAUTION: If the bobweight stop bolt(s) (5) align with a depression in the
bobweight (7), measure the clearance from the deepest impression
(in-line with the stop bolt) to the face of the stop bolt (5).If the
impression (depression) in the bobweight is more than 0.080 inch
deep, contact Textron Aviation Customer Service.
(23) (Without Kit 114-5060 installed) Measure the bobweight stop bolt (5) clearance with the elevator
control horns resting on the down stops in the tail. The bobweight stop bolt (5) must have 0.56
+0/ -0.12 inch clearance with the bobweight (7) (Ref. Figure 203, Sheet 1).
(24) (With Kit 114-5060 installed) Measure the bobweight stop bolt(s) (5) clearance with the elevator
control horns resting on the down stops in the tail. The bobweight stop bolt(s) (5) must have
0.56 +0/ -0.12 inch clearance with the bobweight (7) (Ref. Figure 203, Sheet 2).
(a) Measure the clearance between each stop bolt (5) and the bob weight (7). The clearances
must be within 0.032 inch of each other.
(25) If adjustment is needed, loosen the jam nut(s) (4) on the stop bolt(s) (5) and adjust the bolt(s)
(5). Check the clearance. When adjustment is completed, tighten jam nut(s) (4).
(26) Remove nuts, washers and bolts (8) attaching the push-pull rods (10) to the elevator horns (4)
and discard the nuts (Ref. Figure 204).
(27) With the aft elevator bellcrank push-pull rods disconnected from the elevator horns, the forward
bellcrank down stop bolt (6) must make contact with the stop bolt (5) in the structure (Ref. Figure
201).
NOTE: The forward bellcrank down stop bolt (6) (Figure 201) must make contact before the
bobweight makes contact with the stop bolt(s) (5) without Kit 114-5060 (Ref. Figure
203, Sheet 1), With Kit 114-5060 (Ref. Figure 203, Sheet 2).
(28) Verify that the bobweight stop bolt(s) (5) have clearance. If the bobweight stop bolt(s) have
clearance, proceed to Step (30). If the bobweight stop bolt(s) (5) make contact first, connect
the elevator push rods to the elevator horns and adjust the bobweight stop bolt(s) (5) to the
maximum clearance per Step (23) without Kit 114-5060 (Ref. Figure 203, Sheet 1) or Step (24)
With Kit 114-5060 (Ref. Figure 203, Sheet 2) and adjust the forward elevator bellcrank down
stop bolt (6) to its minimum clearance per Step (21) (Ref. Figure 201).
(29) If more adjustment is needed, perform the following Steps to adjust the push-pull rod assembly
between the control column and the forward elevator bellcrank to achieve the required clearance.
If no adjustment is needed, proceed to Step (30).
(a) Measure the center to center length of the push-pull rod assembly (8). The length must be
15.17 +0.19/ -0.06 inches (Ref. Figure 201).
(b) If adjustment is needed, remove cotter pin (if installed), nut, washer, and bolt (6) from the
control column (4) and discard the nut. Loosen jam nut (2) at the base of the rod end (3).
Rotate the rod end (3) until measurement is met (Ref. Figure 205).
(c) After adjustment, tighten the jam nut (2). The rod end (3) should have zero to seven threads
maximum exposed beyond the jam nut when the adjustment is complete. Verify threads
are visible through the tube inspection hole (5).
(d) Install the push-pull rod assembly (1) to the control column (4) with bolt, washer, new nut
and cotter pin (if installed) (6).
(30) Install bolts, washers and new self locking nuts (8) attaching the push-pull rods (10) to the
elevator horns (4) (Ref. Figure 204).
(31) Gust Lock Pin Check - Install the gust lock (control lock) pin into the control column (Ref. Chapter
27-70-00). Verify the elevators are 7° to 15° down (the elevators do not need to be on the down
stops with the gust lock pin installed). However, if the elevators are full down and resting on the
elevator control horn stop bolts (5), the force required to push on the pilot's control wheel while
inserting the gust lock pin must be a maximum of ten pounds. If the force is too high, adjust
(shorten) the push-pull tube per Step (29), then return to Step (23) or Step (24) to check the
bobweight clearance. Remove the gust lock pin.
(32) Connect the autopilot elevator servo cables to the elevator control cables, if installed (Ref. Figure
211).
(a) Connect the elevator servo upper cable (2) to bridle clamp (5).
(b) Torque the elevator servo upper cable bridle clamp bolts to 55 ±5 inch-pounds with a

D. Operational Check
CAUTION: With the control column pulled to the aft position, allowing the control
column to free fall to the forward position can cause damage to the
elevator system.
(1) Pull the pilot's control wheel aft and make sure that the elevator travels to the full up position
with no unusual noise or binding.
(2) Move the pilot's control wheel forward and make sure that the elevator travels to the full down
position with no unusual noise or binding.
(3) Repeat Steps (1) and (2) with the copilot's control wheel.
(4) If requirements are not met, perform the ELEVATOR CONTROL SYSTEM RIGGING procedure
in this section.
E. Cable Tension Check
(1) Remove the elevator aft bellcrank rig pin hole access panels 331FL on the left and right side
of the vertical stabilizer (Ref. Chapter 06-50-00, VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL STABILIZER
ACCESS PANELS).
(2) Remove left aft fuselage panel 311BL (Ref. Chapter 06-50-00, FUSELAGE ACCESS PANELS).
(3) Move either control wheel to the full forward and full aft position three to four times to equalize
system tension.
(4) Disconnect the autopilot elevator servo cables from the primary control cables, if installed (Ref.
Figure 211).
(a) Disconnect the elevator servo lower cable (3) by removing the safety clips (6) and
completely loosen turnbuckle (7).
(b) Disconnect the elevator servo upper cable (2) from the bridle clamp (5).
(c) Position the upper and lower elevator servo cable to prevent interference with the
movement of the elevator control cables.
(5) Move the elevator surface (1) and install a rig pin (3) (20, Table 1, 27-00-00) in the aft elevator
bellcrank through the vertical stabilizer (4). Look at the opposite side of the vertical stabilizer to
verify that the rig pin has protruded. Using minimum force try to manually move the elevators up
and down to verify that the rig pin is correctly installed and that the elevators do not move (Ref.
Figure 208).
(6) Check the cable tension by performing the following Steps:
NOTE: The forward bellcrank rig pin must NOT be installed when measuring the cable
tensions to calculate the combined (average) tension (Tc).
Do not measure the tension when the temperature is varying rapidly or with the airplane
located in direct sunlight.
(a) Allow the temperature of the airframe to stabilize before measuring and adjusting the cable
tension.
(b) Through the aft fuselage access panel 311BL measure the temperature in the compartment
next to the elevator cables (3 and 4) near the turnbuckles (1 and 2) (Ref. Figure 206).
(c) Refer to the Elevator Cable Tension Graph Figure 202 and read the pounds of tension for
the measured temperature.
(d) Position a cable tensiometer (9, Table 1, 27-00-00) at least three inches from the
turnbuckles (1 and 2) and measure the cable tension of both cables (3 and 4) (Ref. Figure
206). Cable diameter is noted in Figure 202.
(e) Record the values as T up (aft cable) (3) and T down (fwd cable) (4). Calculate the
combined (average) tension (Tc) by adding the T up and T down tensions together and
divide by two. Example: Tc = (T up + T down) ÷ 2.
NOTE: The combined tension (Tc) must be within ± 8 pounds of the tension found in
Figure 202.
(7) If the tension does not meet requirements, perform the ELEVATOR CONTROL SYSTEM
RIGGING procedure in this section.
(8) Connect the autopilot elevator servo cables to the elevator control cables, if installed (Ref. Figure
211).
(a) Connect the elevator servo upper cable (2) to the bridle clamp (5).
(b) Torque the elevator servo upper cable bridle clamp bolts to 55 ± 5 inch-pounds with a
minimum gap of 0.005 inch between the clamp halves.
(c) Connect the elevator servo lower cable (3) using turnbuckle (7).
(d) Perform the ELEVATOR SERVO BRIDLE CABLE TENSIONING procedure (Ref. Chapter
22-10-05).
(9) Remove the aft elevator bellcrank rig pin (3) (Ref. Figure 208).
(10) Install the elevator aft bellcrank rig pin hole access panels 331FL on the left and right side
of the vertical stabilizer (Ref. Chapter 06-50-00, VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL STABILIZER
ACCESS PANELS).
(11) Install left aft fuselage panel 311BL (Ref. Chapter 06-50-00, FUSELAGE ACCESS PANELS).
(12) Perform the ELEVATOR OPERATIONAL CHECK procedure in this section.
F. Functional Check
(1) Perform the ELEVATOR TRAVEL BOARD INSTALLATION procedure (Ref. 27-00-02).
CAUTION: With the control column pulled to the aft position, allowing the
control column to free fall to the forward position can cause damage
to the elevator system.
(2) Pull a cockpit control wheel (yoke) aft and verify the elevator surfaces move up 20° +1°/ -0° (Ref.
27-00-02, READING A TRAVEL BOARD) and that the elevator stop bolts contact the elevator
control horns. Make sure the elevator system moves smoothly without any unusual noise or
binding.
(3) Move the control wheel (yoke) forward and verify the elevator surfaces move down 14° +1°/
-0° and that the elevator stop bolts contact the elevator control horns. Make sure the elevator
system moves smoothly without any unusual noise or binding.
(4) Repeat Steps (1) thru (3) for opposite side.
(5) If the elevator surfaces do not achieve desired travel, perform the ELEVATOR CONTROL
SYSTEM RIGGING procedure in this section.
(6) Remove the elevator travel board(s).
G. Friction Check
NOTE: Take all force readings with the elevator control system completely installed: downsprings
attached, cables rigged with tension applied, bobweight mounted on control yoke, and
autopilot servo cables attached.
(1) Remove aft fuselage panel 311BL (Ref. Chapter 06-50-00, FUSELAGE ACCESS PANELS).
(2) To obtain the maximum allowable system friction Fs (max), measure the tension of both elevator
cables in the aft fuselage. Take the higher of the two readings and multiply it by a factor of 0.106.
For example:
(3) Attach tie straps around the pilots or copilots control wheel and attach a push-pull gage so that
the gage is approximately center of the control wheel. Alternative method is to use a push-pull
gage attached and centered between the inboard grips of the pilot and copilots control wheels.
(4) Determine method to identify when the control wheel passes through neutral. Suggested method
is to move the elevators to neutral, install rig pin and use a non-permanent marker to mark the
control wheel tube (3) (Ref. Figure 212). Remove the rig pin.
(5) Smoothly pull the control wheel aft from full forward (elevator down) position until the elevator
passes through the neutral position and record the reading from the push-pull gage. From the
full aft (elevator up) position, slowly let the control wheel move forward until the elevator passes
through neutral and record the reading from the push-pull gage. Repeat four more times for a
total of 5 cycles, recording each cycle.
(6) Average the 5 readings from pulling the control wheel aft from full down (elevator down) and
record this value as F up.
(7) Average the 5 readings from moving the control wheel forward through neutral and record this
value as F down.
(8) With the maximum allowable system friction established, use the force measurements to
calculate the actual system friction. System friction value is obtained by taking the difference of
the F up and F down force values divided by 2, or:
Fs = (F up - F down) ÷ 2
Example:
F up = 48 lbs, F down = 32 lbs
48 - 32 ÷ 2 = 16 ÷ 2 = 8 lbs = Acceptable
NOTE: The combined downspring and bobweight force range (Fc) is 40.0 ±1.5 pounds.
(9) Combined downspring and bobweight force is obtained by adding the F up and F down values
then dividing by 2, or:
Fc = (F up + F down) ÷ 2
Example:
F up = 48 lbs, F down = 32 lbs
48 + 32 ÷ 2 = 80 ÷ 2 = 40 lbs = Acceptable
(10) If adjustment is not required, proceed to Step (11). If adjustment is required, perform the following
Steps:
(a) Remove the top horizontal access panel 332BTC (Ref. Chapter 06-50-00, HORIZONTAL
AND VERTICAL STABILIZER ACCESS PANELS).
(b) If Fc is above the range of 40.0 ± 1.5 pounds, decrease the downspring (1) tension
(adjust the spring shorter) by moving the spring end to another adjustment hole (2) in the
adjustment link (4) (Ref. Figure 209).
(c) If Fc is below the proper range, increase the downspring (1) tension (adjust the spring
longer) by moving the spring end to another adjustment hole (2) in the adjustment link (4).
(d) Repeat Steps (3) through (10).
(e) Install the top horizontal access panel 332BTC (Ref. Chapter 06-50-00, HORIZONTAL
AND VERTICAL STABILIZER ACCESS PANELS).
(11) If system friction-force cannot be brought under the limit:
(a) Check cable installation, pulley bearings, push-pull rod ends, bellcrank bearings, the
control yoke, control column support rollers and all linkages associated with the elevator
control system.
(b) Perform the ELEVATOR INSPECTION procedures (Ref. 27-30-00).
(12) Check the outboard leading edge of the elevators for elevator counterweight screw and elevator
balance weight bolt interference.
(13) If a mark for neutral was made on the control wheel tube (3), clean the mark off the tube (Ref.
Figure 212).
(14) Install aft fuselage panel 311BL (Ref. Chapter 06-50-00, FUSELAGE ACCESS PANELS).
WARNING: Be sure the self-locking nuts (5) at the lower end of the
eccentric bolts are properly torqued. When the adjustment
is complete, the eccentric bolts must not turn or change
position.
(3) The upper two rollers are mounted on eccentric shaped bolts (1) that allow adjustment. The
lower roller (8) is mounted on a screw and is not adjustable. Adjust the two eccentric bolts on
each crew station around the control column as necessary to provide a minimum of 0.010 inch
of play between the columns and the rollers. Torque the self-locking nuts 15 to 19 inch-pounds.
(4) If applicable, remove the rig pin from the forward elevator bellcrank.
(5) Move the control columns all the way in and out to verify they are not too tight and that they do
not bind in the rollers at any position.
(6) Position the covers (10) over the control column support rollers and install four screws (9).
CAUTION: Carefully lower the elevator surface. Do not allow the elevator to free fall
to the down position. This could cause damage to the elevator system.

1. General
The stall warning system consists of the following major components: the lift computer, the aural warning
system, left landing gear squat switch, a stall warning self-test switch, a 5-amp circuit breaker (furnishing
power to the system), a heat panel for the transducer, a stall warning heat sensor control relay and a
15-amp circuit breaker (providing power to the heat panel) (Ref. Figure 1).
The nucleus of the stall warning system is the lift computer, which processes information from the lift
transducer and the flap down-limit switch assembly. The computer makes use of this information and
compensates for changes in airplane attitude, airspeed and flap and gear position to sound the stall
warning, thereby alerting the crew to an impending stall condition. The lift computer is grounded through
the left landing gear safety switch which opens and disables the entire system when the airplane is on
the ground.
In general, the system provides precise prestall warning to the pilot by activating the warning signal
when specific lift coefficients are reached. The activation level of the warning tone is changed by the
flap position.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. General
WARNING: When testing the anti-icing function of the transducer vane and
mounting plate, use extreme caution as either surface can cause
burns. It should be further noted that prolonged operation of the
anti-ice function in still air could damage the transducer; therefore,
it is imperative that the transducer heat should not be ON in excess
of one minute. Any time the airplane is on jacks or the landing
gear squat switch is extended, the heat switch for the stall warning
system, if turned on, will produce high heat at the transducer.
A. For a complete functional test procedure and troubleshooting guide for the stall warning system, refer
to the latest revision of the Safe Flight Instrument Corporation Procedure R-2200 in the Model 1900
Airliner Series Component Maintenance Manual, P/N 114-590021-11 or subsequent revision. This
procedure also includes calibration check and adjustment procedures for the stall warning computer.
B. A sensitive precision voltmeter (digital preferred), accurate enough to detect a change of at least 0.1
volt, should be used for making voltage measurements. A breakout test box (14, Table 1, 27-00-00)
designed for the purpose of gaining access to the various inputs and outputs for the lift computer may
be purchased or fabricated locally. The wires from each connector are appropriately connected to a
terminal strip inside of the box so that all inputs and outputs for the lift computer are carried through
the breakout box. A series of jacks, correspondingly identified with pin locations, are used to tap off
the desired signals for measurement with the voltmeter. Polarity must be closely observed, as both
positive and negative voltage may be encountered when measuring outputs and inputs. The breakout
box is connected in series between the airplane harness and the lift computer and provides for parallel
access to the inputs and outputs.
C. A force applicator (15, Table 1, 27-00-00) is used to apply forces to the transducer vane for checking
of the lift computer trip point calibration.
CAUTION: Use care not to damage the gasket around the transducer opening.
B. Installation
(1) Place the gasket on the transducer assembly (Ref. Figure 201).
(2) Position the transducer assembly and gasket to the opening in the left outboard wing leading
edge and connect the electrical wiring.
(3) Secure the transducer assembly to the wing leading edge with the four screws at each corner
of the mounting plate.
CAUTION: This procedure must be performed in its entirety in sequence. All portions of
the calibration sections are to be completed. The operator should not try to
perform only one calibration function.
CAUTION: The anchor tab of the force applicator can be bent if the knob that
applies tension to the transducer mounting plate is over tightened.
Use care when installing the force applicator to prevent damage to
the anchor tab. Refer to the data supplied with the force applicator
or to Chapter 27 of the Beech 1900 Series Component Maintenance
Manual.
(5) Install the force applicator (15, Table 1, 27-00-00) with a 1952-1 gage onto the left wing in
accordance with the manufacturers instructions. Refer to the data supplied with the force
applicator or to Chapter 27 of the Component Maintenance Manual. The dial on the gage is to
be facing inboard and the force arm is to be on the forward side of the transducer vane. The
force arm must be positioned so that the applied force is within 1/32 inch of the transducer
vane tip (Ref. Figure 201).
(6) Verify that the vane is free to move with the force applicator installed.
(7) Apply external electrical power to the airplane.
(8) Apply electrical power to the airplane.

sounding. Then turn the potentiometer CW until the horn just starts to sound. Proceed to
Step (e).
(d) If the stall warning horn is not sounding, turn the No. 0 potentiometer on the computer CW
until the horn just starts sounding.
(e) Deflect the transducer vane aft using the force gage until the horn stops sounding. Reduce
the force being applied to the vane to allow it to move forward until the horn just starts to
sound. The gage should indicate +1 ± 0.05 tip grams.
(11) APPROACH FLAPS CALIBRATION
(a) Ensure that the flaps are in the approach position.
(b) Reduce the force being applied to the vane to allow it to move forward until the gage
indicates 0 tip grams.
(c) If the stall warning horn is not sounding, proceed to Step (d) If the stall warning horn is
sounding, turn the No. 1 potentiometer on the computer CCW until the horn just stops
sounding. Then turn the potentiometer CW until the horn just starts to sound. Proceed to
Step (e).
(d) If the stall warning horn is not sounding, turn the No. 1 potentiometer on the computer CW
until the horn just starts sounding.
NOTE: If the expected tip grams reading is not obtained in Step (e), perform Steps (f)
and (g).
(e) Deflect the transducer vane aft using the force gage until the horn stops sounding. Reduce
the force being applied to the vane to allow it to move forward until the horn just starts to
sound. The gage should indicate 0 ± 0.05 tip grams as estimated by the operator.
(f) If the horn does not start to sound before the force arm loses contact with the vane,
reposition the force arm aft of and in contact with the vane and adjust the gage (moving
the vane forward) until the horn just starts to sound. The gage should indicate 0 to -0.05
tip grams as estimated by the operator.
(g) Reposition the force arm forward of and in contact with the vane and adjust the gage until
it indicates 0 tip grams as estimated by the operator.
NOTE: If the expected tip grams reading is not obtained in Step (e), perform Step (f).
(e) Deflect the transducer vane aft using the force arm until the horn stops sounding. Reduce
the force being applied to the vane to allow it to move forward until the horn just starts to
sound. The gage should indicate 0 ± 0.05 tip grams as estimated by the operator.
(f) If the horn does not start to sound before the force arm loses contact with the vane,
reposition the force arm aft of and in contact with the vane and adjust the force arm
(moving the vane forward) until the horn just starts to sound. The gage should indicate 0
± 0.05 tip grams as estimated by the operator.

trim the airplane to 120 KIAS. Slowly reduce speed (at a rate not higher than one knot
per second) until the stall warning horn sounds. Note the airspeed when the warning horn
sounds and continue to slowly reduce speed until the airplane stalls. Record the stall
speed. The stall speed should be between 82 and 88 KIAS. The stall warning horn should
have sounded at an airspeed 4 to 9 knots faster than the stall speed.
(b) If the stall warning horn did not sound at the proper airspeed, adjust potentiometer No.
1 until the stall warning sounds 4 to 9 knots prior to the stall. A clockwise adjustment
increases the speed at which the stall warning horn sounds; a counterclockwise
adjustment decreases the speed at which the stall warning horn sounds. One full turn of
the potentiometer will change the speed by approximately 3 knots.
(8) FLAPS DOWN CALIBRATION
(a) With the flaps and landing gear down and the power set to idle, trim the airplane to 110
KIAS. Slowly reduce speed (at a rate not higher than one knot per second) until the stall
warning horn sounds. Note the airspeed when the warning horn sounds and continue to
slowly reduce speed until the airplane stalls. Record the stall speed. The stall speed should
be between 77 and 83 KIAS. The stall warning horn should have sounded at an airspeed
4 to 9 knots faster than the stall speed.
(b) If the stall warning horn did not sound at the proper airspeed, adjust potentiometer No.
2 until the stall warning sounds 4 to 9 knots prior to the stall. A clockwise adjustment
increases the speed at which the stall warning horn sounds; a counterclockwise
adjustment decreases the speed at which the stall warning horn sounds. One full turn of
the potentiometer will change the speed by approximately 3 knots.
(9) Install the potentiometer access cover on the stall warning computer (Ref. Figure 201).
(10) Install cabin floorboard panel 133ATC (Ref. Chapter 06-50-00). Install the carpet as required
(Ref. Chapter 25-20-01).
1. General
A. Description
(1) The flaps, two on each wing, are driven by an electric motor through a gearbox mounted on
the forward side of the rear spar. The motor incorporates a magnetic clutch, which helps to
prevent overtravel of the flaps through the use of two sets of motor windings. The gearbox drives
four flexible driveshafts connected to jackscrews at each flap. The flap motor power circuit is
protected by a 20-ampere circuit breaker, placarded FLAP MOTOR, located under the floorboard
panel (133ATC) (Ref. Chapter 06-50-00). A 5-ampere circuit breaker, placarded FLAP IND &
CONTROL, for the control circuit is located on the right circuit breaker panel (Zone 246) (Ref.
Chapter 06-40-00).
(2) The flaps are operated by a sliding lever located just below the condition levers on the pedestal.
The flap control is used to select UP, 17° and 35° flap positions. Flap position is indicated on
the flap position indicator located directly above the engine condition levers in the pedestal. The
indicator reads a signal from the flap position transmitter that is driven by the right inboard flap.
(3) A signal in the aural warning system will sound when the flap position is not compatible with
engine power lever settings and landing gear positions. The flap travel limit switches, located
inboard of the right nacelle, along with the limit switches in the pedestal provide signals to the
flap warning circuit.
(4) The left and right split flap switches, located at the junction of the adjacent flaps in each wing,
disables power to the flap motor when either of the flaps in that pair travels more than 3° to 6°
out of phase with the adjacent flap. If this occurs, a flap override switch, located at the top of
the avionics nose compartment, is provided to allow the flaps to be retracted electrically while
the airplane is on the ground. Access to this switch is gained through the left avionics nose door
(Ref. Figure 1).

C. Outer Housing Inspection and Repair
Cuts or nicks that penetrate the flexible drive shaft (3) outer plastic housing may allow moisture
to enter, promoting lubrication failure and internal corrosion. Such flexible drive shaft (3) housing
damage within the pressurized compartment may be especially harmful. Any pressurization air
leakage through the flexible drive shaft (3) housing, though minor, may carry significant amounts of
moisture, condensing and pooling in the colder outboard portion of the flexible drive shaft (3) (Ref.
Figure 201).
Inspect the flexible drive shaft (3) housings for nicks and cuts that penetrate. Replace the flexible drive
shaft (3) or patch with Tedlar tape (13, Table 2, 27-00-00). If patching, clean the area with solvent (14,
Table 2, 27-00-00) and wipe dry. Apply tape with a spiral wrap, tight and wrinkle free, overlapping each
wrap by two-thirds. The patch should extend a minimum of two inches on each side of the damaged
area. The free end of the tape patch may be additionally secured with one or two small nylon ty-wraps
obtained locally.

the results for use when performing FLAP SYSTEM RIGGING - USING PROTRACTORS
procedures.
(b) If the flap cannot be raised to 1.5°, identify the interference and repair as required to allow
the flap to be raised to an up position from 0° to 1.5° per the travel board.
(16) Perform either the FLAP SYSTEM RIGGING WITH TRAVEL BOARD procedure or the FLAP
SYSTEM RIGGING WITH PROTRACTOR procedure in this section.
D. Flap Adjustment to Correct a Heavy Condition
NOTE: Most wing heavy conditions can be traced to improperly rigged ailerons or flaps. If further
adjustment is needed, one outboard flap may be rigged slightly down. This will result in
additional drag on the airplane.
Use the AILERON GROUND ADJUSTABLE TRIM TAB ADJUSTMENT procedure (Ref.
27-10-00) before using this procedure as it will make a larger correction. Rigging one
outboard flap slightly down will make only a small correction.
NOTE: The following procedure could cause an out-of-tolerance split flap indication.
(f) Loosen the jam nut on the two flap bumpers for the flap that was adjusted in Step (2)(e).
NOTE: Use marking material on the bumper surface to determine when the flap
makes contact.
CAUTION: Do not exceed more than one complete flap duty cycle every 5
minutes.
(i) Cycle the flaps and check for contact with the flap bumpers. Repeat Steps (2)(h) as
necessary.

(4) Attach a red tag to the flap control lever with the words "Do Not Operate, Maintenance In
Progress".
(5) The inboard flap installations have a solid link (19) that connects the flap and the switch arm
(Ref. Figure 201).
(6) The centerline of the pointed end of the cam must align with the switch roller. The cam may
have a groove line to aid in this inspection.
(7) If the cam does not align with the switch roller, adjust the outboard flap rod end linkage (13).
Begin with a length of 2.50 inches between the centers of the rod end bores, then adjust the
length to align the cam with the switch roller.
(8) Install a digital protractor (18, Table 1, 27-00-00) to the inboard edge of the outboard flap.
CAUTION: Do not run flaps or change flap actuator adjustment with the actuator
disconnected from the flap. If the flap system is operated with the
actuator disconnected or the actuator length is changed, the flap
system must be rigged.
(9) Zero the protractor and disconnect the flap actuator from the left outboard flap. The outboard
flap will move down to the end of the flap track.
CAUTION: Ensure that the actuators will not strike or damage the wing or flaps
while moving the outboard flaps during adjustment procedures.
(10) Slowly raise the outboard flap by hand while reading the protractor. When the switch opens
(audible click), note the protractor reading. This may need to be repeated as necessary to get
an accurate measurement.
(11) The correct safety switch setting stops all flap travel when the positions of the inboard and

(6) The centerline of the pointed end of the cam must align with the switch roller. The cam may
have a groove line to aid in this inspection.
(7) If the cam does not align with the switch roller, adjust the outboard flap rod end linkage (13).
Begin with a length of 2.50 inches between the centers of the rod end bores, then adjust the
length to align the cam with the switch roller.
(8) Install a digital protractor (18, Table 1, 27-00-00) to the inboard edge of the outboard flap.
CAUTION: Do not run flaps or change flap actuator adjustment with the actuator
disconnected from the flap. If the flap system is operated with the
actuator disconnected or the actuator length is changed, the flap
system must be rigged.
(9) Zero the protractor and disconnect the flap actuator from the left outboard flap. The outboard
flap will move down to the end of the flap track.
CAUTION: Ensure that the actuators will not strike or damage the wing or flaps
while moving the outboard flaps during adjustment procedures.
(10) Slowly raise the outboard flap by hand while reading the protractor. When the switch opens
(audible click), note the protractor reading. This may need to be repeated as necessary to get
an accurate measurement.
(11) The correct safety switch setting stops all flap travel when the positions of the inboard and
outboard flaps have a difference of 3° to 6°.
(12) If the difference is less than 3°, move the safety switch up in the slots of the inboard arm. If the
difference is more than 6°, move the safety switch down in the slots of the arm.
(13) Connect the flap actuator to the left outboard flap.
(14) Repeat Steps (10) thru (17) for the right side flaps.
(15) After all flap actuators are connected, perform the FLAP SYSTEM OPERATIONAL CHECK
procedure (Ref. 27-50-05).
(16) Remove the red tag from the flap lever.
NOTE: The safety switches are located in each wing between the inboard and outboard flaps.
(1) Connect external electrical power to the airplane (Ref. Chapter 24-40-00, APPLYING GROUND
POWER).
(2) Extend the flaps to the full down position.
(3) Attach a red tag to the flap control lever with the words "Do Not Operate, Maintenance In
Progress".
(4) Remove screws (7) and washers (8) from the flap safety switch cover (14) and remove cover
(14) (Ref. Figure 202).
(5) The inboard flap link (without Kit No. 118-4013) (20) is a non adjustable solid link. If Kit No.
118-4013 is installed, check that the inboard flap rod end linkage is a length of 2.75 inches
between the centers of the rod end bores.
(6) The centerline of the pointed end of the cam must align with the switch roller. The cam may
have a groove line to aid in this inspection.
(7) If the cam does not align with the switch roller, adjust the outboard flap rod end linkage (2). Begin
with a length of 2.50 inches between the centers of the rod end bores, then adjust the length to
align the cam with the switch roller (Ref. Figure 202).
(8) Install a digital protractor (18, Table 1, 27-00-00) to the inboard edge of the outboard flap.
(9) Raise flaps to the 17° position.
(10) Disconnect external electrical power from the airplane (Ref. Chapter 24-40-00, REMOVING
GROUND POWER).
CAUTION: Do not run flaps or change flap actuator adjustment with the actuator
disconnected from the flap. If the flap system is operated with the
actuator disconnected or the actuator length is changed, the flap
system must be rigged.
(11) Zero the protractor and disconnect the flap actuator from the left outboard flap. The outboard
flap will move down to the end of the flap track.
CAUTION: Ensure that the actuators will not strike or damage the wing or flaps
while moving the outboard flaps during adjustment procedures.
(12) Raise the outboard flap by hand until the protractor reads approximately 0° and listen for an
audible clicking noise. The switch roller must be on the pointed end of the cam.
(13) Slowly lower the outboard flap by hand while reading the protractor. When the switch opens
(audible click), note the protractor reading. This may need to be repeated as necessary to get
an accurate measurement.
(14) Raise the outboard flap by hand until the protractor reads approximately 0° and listen for an
audible clicking noise. The switch roller must be on the pointed end of the cam.
(15) Slowly raise the outboard flap by hand while reading the protractor. When the switch opens
(audible click), note the protractor reading. This may need to be repeated as necessary to get
an accurate measurement.
(16) The correct safety switch setting stops all flap travel when the positions of the inboard and
outboard flaps have a difference of 5° to 9° in either direction. A higher setting is preferred
to prevent nuisance tripping of the switch.
(17) If the safety switch setting is 5° to 9°, proceed to Step (25). If not, perform the following Steps:
(18) Add the protractor readings. If the number of degrees while lowering the flap plus the number
of degrees while raising the flap is not 10° to 18° then adjust the switch in the slots and repeat
Steps (15) through (21).
NOTE: Lowering the switch in the slots decreases the total degrees. Raising the switch in
the slots increases the total degrees.
(19) If the number of degrees while lowering the flap does not equal the number of degrees while
raising the flap, the outboard rod end length must be adjusted and Steps (15) through (21) must
be repeated.
NOTE: Lengthening the outboard rod end link decreases flap up travel and increases flap
down travel. Shortening the outboard rod end link increases flap up travel and
decreases flap down travel.
(20) Example: 10.8° was measured while lowering the outboard flap. 7.4° was measured while
raising the outboard flap. Total = 10.8 + 7.4 = 18.2°. The switch must be moved down in the
slots until the total is less than 18°. After moving the switch, 10.0° is measured while lowering,
5.8° is measured while raising. Total = 10.0 + 5.8 = 15.8°. The switch is correctly positioned
since the total is 18° or less, but the 10° exceeds the 9° requirement. Adjust the outboard rodend
linkage until both readings are within 5° to 9°.
(21) Connect the flap actuator to the left outboard flap.
(22) Connect external electrical power to the airplane (Ref. Chapter 24-40-00, APPLYING GROUND
POWER).
(23) Extend the flaps to the full down position.
(24) Disconnect external electrical power from the airplane (Ref. Chapter 24-40-00, REMOVING
GROUND POWER).
(25) Position the flap safety switch cover (14) over the flap safety switch assembly (13) and install
screws (7) and washers (8) (Ref. Figure 202).
(26) Repeat Steps (6) thru (24) for the right side flaps.
(27) After all flap actuators are connected, perform the FLAP SYSTEM OPERATIONAL CHECK
procedure (Ref. 27-50-05).
NOTE: Ensure that the wires have enough length to allow for movement of the switch.
CAUTION: Secure loose switch to airplane to avoid damage to the wires during
maintenance.
(8) Remove washers (9) and slide switch shaft (13) from the inboard side of the hub (11) keeping
washers (12) with the switch shaft (13).
(9) Remove washers (12) from the switch shaft (13).
(10) Clean the switch shaft (13) and the inner part of the hub (11) with alcohol, solvent or equivalent.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. General
A. Description
(1) The fuel system consists of two independent systems, one for each engine. The systems are
connected by a solenoid valve-controlled cross-transfer line. Each independent system consists
of two integral tanks (the main and auxiliary tank). The main tank in each wing holds a maximum
of 240.5 gallons of usable fuel. The auxiliary tanks, located in each side of the center section,
contain 92.2 gallons of usable fuel each. The ribs, which form part of the structure of the main
tank, also function as baffles that prevent the fuel from sloshing. Fuel from the main tank is
gravity-fed into the collector tank (the inboard aft area of the outboard wing). The collector tank is
equipped with an electric fuel boost pump, transfer jet pump, main tank jet pump, and a manifold.
(Ref. Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 5, and Figure 6).
(2) Fuel is transferred from the auxiliary to the main tank by activating an electric fuel pump in
the auxiliary tank. The switch for the transfer pump is located on the fuel control panel on the
pilot's side of the crew compartment. A pressure switch located in the auxiliary transfer line in
conjunction with a float switch located in the auxiliary fuel tank automatically cuts power to the
auxiliary fuel pump when the usable fuel in the tank is exhausted. The system is fueled by filling
the main tank first through ports located on the outboard leading edge adjacent to the wing tip,
then filling the auxiliary tanks through ports located near the inboard side of the nacelle and aft
of the main spar.
(3) The vent system for the fuel tanks is located in the wing tips and vents the system through a
float valve on each side. The valve is designed to shut off when activated by the presence of
fuel. However, a pressure activated backup vent prevents an overpressure condition by opening
if pressure exceeds approximately 1-1/2 psi. The system is equipped with flame arrestors and
protected from freeze-up by a switch-controlled heated vent. The switch that controls the heated
vent is located on the pilots RH subpanel (Ref. Figure 2). The auxiliary tank vents into the main
tank.
(4) The cross-transfer line connecting the two systems is controlled by a normally closed, switch-
operated solenoid valve. When the valve is in the closed position, each engine draws fuel
from its individual system. If cross-transfer is desired, the manually activated switch must be
moved to the TRANSFER FLOW position which will activate the standby pump. In addition
to the cross-transfer function, the electric boost pump can provide fuel to the engine should
the engine-driven fuel pump fail. Power for the switches is drawn through the appropriately
placarded circuit breakers at the bottom of the fuel control panel.
(5) Fuel for the engine is provided by an engine-driven fuel pump. The engine-driven fuel boost
pump (located upstream of the engine-driven fuel pump) provides motive flow for operation of
the jet pumps which aid in moving fuel from the main tank.
B. Fuel Purge System (EPA)
The fuel purge system is designed to assure that any residual fuel in the fuel manifolds is consumed
during engine shutdown. During engine operation, engine P3 bleed air is routed through a filter
and check valve and pressurizes a small air tank mounted on the engine truss mount. On engine
shutdown, the pressure differential between the air tank and the fuel manifold causes air to be
discharged from the air tank, through a poppet valve, and into the fuel manifold system. The
air forces the residual fuel, remaining in the fuel manifold, out through the nozzles and into the
combustion chamber.
C. Fuel Quantity Indicating
Fuel system operation and performance is monitored through various indicators (gages and
annunciator lights) found in the flight compartment. Left and right fuel quantity gages indicate the
amount of fuel in each tank in pounds of fuel remaining. Eight capacitance probes in each wing fuel
system provide the signals required to drive the fuel quantity indicators, located on the fuel control
panel.
D. Fuel Flow Indicating

BEECHCRAFT®
MODEL 1900D AIRLINER
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Fuel flow gages indicate the actual amount of fuel, in pounds per hour, being metered to each engine
at any given time. The fuel flow transmitters are located immediately downstream of the fuel control
units.
E. Low Fuel Quantity Warning System
The low fuel warning system provides bilevel warning to the flight crew when the fuel level in the
main tank reaches a predetermined level and again when the fuel in the collector tank area is nearly
exhausted. When the fuel in the main tank or tanks reaches a level that equals approximately 30
minutes of flight time, R FUEL QTY, L FUEL QTY or both annunciators will be actuated by liquid level
sensors mounted on the inboard forward side of the main tank. If the fuel in the collector tank area
drops to a level sufficient to provide approximately eight minutes flight time, R COL TANK LOW, L
COL TANK LOW or both annunciator lights will illuminate. Flight time fuel means that sufficient fuel
remains to feed the engine at maximum continuous power. When the fuel pressure switch, in the
plumbing from the main tank, reads 5 psi or less, the R FUEL PRESS LO or L FUEL PRESS LO
warning annunciators will illuminate.
The PRESS-TO-TEST switch on the warning annunciator panel provides current to the test circuit of
the low level sensors and all associated circuitry.
Refer to Chapter 28-40-00 for the Low Fuel Quantity Warning Block Diagram.

1. Fuel Storage
CAUTION: Refer to Chapter 12-10-00 for fuel handling safety information before
performing any maintenance operations of the fuel system.
A. Leakage Checks and Repairs
To classify the degree of leakage in a wet wing fuel tank, measure the size of the wet area around
the leak. A more accurate measurement may be obtained by wiping the leakage clean and applying
talcum powder in the area of the leak. After 30 minutes, check the area to determine if the leak
classifies as a stain, seep, heavy seep, or running leak (Ref. Figure 201). Fuel leaks must also be
classified as to whether they occur in an open area or in an enclosed area to differentiate between
those that require immediate repair and those not considered potential flight hazards.
NOTE: For ease of sealant removal it is permissible to use sealant emulsifier, PolyGone
300-AG.
Do not allow PolyGone 300-AG to come into contact with non-metal parts.
Any areas where primer has been removed or dissolved during sealant removal must
be cleaned and primed.
(5) Remove all damaged sealant from the vicinity of the leak with a smooth wooden or plastic
scraper. Chamfer the ends of the remaining sealant so the new sealant forms a smooth
continuous flow. Refer to Table 201 for recommended sealers.
(6) If the leakage is around a rivet, strike the rivet. This can only be done once. If the leak persists,
replace the rivet. An alternate method for repair of rivet leaks is to install a Click-Patch (6, Table
2, 28-00-00). The patch is a thin aluminum disc which is applied directly over the exterior side
of the leak and bonded in place with epoxy. Patches are available for flush and protruding head
rivets. Because the adhesive used with these patches will cure in the presence of fuel, it is not
necessary to drain the tank prior to patch installation.
(7) If the leakage is around a bolt with a gasket-type seal, torque the bolt. If the leak persists, replace
the seal or the bolt.
(8) If the leakage is at the gasket around an access opening or fitting, torque the attachments.
Torque access plate bolts 45 to 50 inch-pounds. If the leak persists, replace the gasket.
(9) If the leakage is around anchor nuts of access plates on the underside of the wing, seal around
the nuts.
NOTE: If the drain valve was removed during the foregoing check and repairs, install the
valve retaining nut with the castellated portion down, then torque the nut to 75 to
100 inch-pounds and install safety wire. Seal all repairs as necessary with the
appropriate sealer (Ref. Table 201).
NOTE: It is permissible to use the FUEL TANK INTERNAL INSPECTION procedure in the Model
1900 Airliner Series Corrosion Control Manual (Ref. Chapter 28-10-01).
It is also permissible to use the (ALTERNATE TANK INSPECTION METHOD) RADIOGRAPHIC
INSPECTION (Ref. Chapter 28-12-00).
Microbial or fungal contamination is an increasing threat to fuel tanks. Hormoconis resinae is a virulent
acid producing fungus in jet fuel. Unlike typical microbial build-ups, Hormoconis resinae will build up a
matte of fibrous material rapidly in areas of condensation, concentrating the acid generating wastes,
especially in areas protected from fuel sloshing. The Model 1900D has three such areas in each wing.
Two areas are immediately adjacent to both sides (forward and Aft) of the main spar lower cap from
WS 124 to WS 130 and one area is in the collector tank.
NOTE: Hormoconis resinae may not be detectable in many contamination detector kits available
in the United States today. Conidia Bio Sciences has developed and markets a ten
minute test kit specifically designed for Hormoconis resinae. For more information go to
(www.conidia.com).
(1) Drain fuel from the collector tanks, main tanks and main tank sumps (Ref. Chapter 12-10-00,
DRAINING THE FUEL SYSTEM).
(2) Gain access to the collector tanks by removing wing access panels 632AT, 632BB, 532AT and
532BB (Ref. Chapter 06-50-00, WING ACCESS PANELS - TOP SURFACE).
(3) Gain access to main tank sump areas by removing wing access panels 631CB and 531CB (Ref.
Chapter 06-50-00, WING ACCESS PANELS - LOWER SURFACE).
B. Collector Tank Area
(1) Inspect collector tanks for evidence of past or present microbiological contamination or sludge
buildup.
(2) Remove the collector tank fuel strainer.
(3) If evidence is found thoroughly clean the collector tank areas with solvent (1, Table 2, Chapter
12-00-00).
NOTE: For ease of sealant removal it is permissible to use sealant emulsifier, PolyGone
300-AG.
Do not allow PolyGone 300-AG to come into contact with non-metal parts.
Any areas where primer has been removed or dissolved during sealant removal must
be cleaned and primed.
(4) Inspect sealant for condition. Remove any that appears deteriorated.
(5) Inspect the collector tank area for evidence of microbiological attack.
(6) If evidence of microbiological attack is discovered, contact Textron Aviation Customer Service
at 844-448-9828 or 316-517-5800 before taking further action.
NOTE: If evidence of microbiological attack is not detected, seal area. Refer to the Model
1900 Airliner Series Structural Repair Manual Chapter 51-30-05 for preparation
and sealing instructions.
NOTE: It's permissible to apply 0.02 - 0.03 inches of AMS-S-8802 TYPE II CLASS A
sealant to the bottom of the collector tank fuel strainer. Allow sealant to fully dry
before installation of the strainer (Ref. Table 201).
NOTE: The initial removal of the sealant from the main spar forward flange, lower cap
and the bulkhead at WS 124 thru 130 is required. The sealant removal may
be skipped during the 12 month inspection for up to 36 months if the fuel
system is sterilized using BIOBOR JF at concentrations of 270 PPM every six
months, or Kathon FP 1.5 at concentrations of 135 PPH every six months and
is documented in the airplane maintenance records.
For application of BIOBOR JF or Kathon FP 1.5 (Ref. Chapter 12-10-00).
For ease of sealant removal it is permissible to use sealant emulsifier, PolyGone
300-AG.
Do not allow PolyGone 300-AG to come into contact with non-metal parts.
Any areas where primer has been removed or dissolved during sealant removal
must be cleaned and primed.
(3) Remove sealant from the forward flange of the main spar, from the inboard bulkhead outboard
of WS 124 for approximately 6 inches.
(4) Inspect the main spar for evidence of microbiological attack.
(5) If evidence of microbiological attack is discovered, contact Textron Aviation Customer Service
at 844-448-9828 or 316-517-5800 before taking further action.
NOTE: If evidence of microbiological attack is not detected, seal area. Refer to the Model

INSTALLATION in 28-20-00.
1. Procedure
A. Preparation
This inspection is an alternate procedure to the FUEL SYSTEM TANK INSPECTION (Ref. 28-10-00).
This alternate procedure allows the inspection to be carried out without removing the sealant along
the main spar lower cap from WS 124 to WS 130 in the main tanks. In this procedure, the inspection
areas are x-rayed to inspect for corrosion. Only deteriorated sealant must be removed and replaced.
Three areas in each wing will be inspected for corrosion caused by fungus growth. These areas are:
• The entire collector tank (Ref. Figure 203).
• The main tank sump area along the main wing spar from WS 124.58 to WS 135.86 that extends
forward to access panel 531CB/631CB.
• The main tank sump area along the main wing spar from WS 124.58 to WS 135.86 that extends
aft to access panel 532BB/632BB.
(1) Drain fuel from the collector tanks, main tanks and main tank sumps (Ref. Chapter 12-10-00,
DRAINING THE FUEL SYSTEM).
(2) Gain access to the collector tanks by removing wing access panels 632AT and 532AT (Ref.
Chapter 06-50-00, WING ACCESS PANELS - TOP SURFACE).
(3) Gain access to main tank sump areas by removing wing access panels 632BB and 631CB,
532BB and 531CB (Ref. Chapter 06-50-00, WING ACCESS PANELS - LOWER SURFACE).
(4) Thoroughly clean all tank surfaces in the three inspection areas using solvent (1, Table 2,
Chapter 12-00-00). Fungus contamination will appear as black sludge (Ref. Figure 203).
NOTE: For ease of sealant removal it is permissible to use sealant emulsifier, PolyGone
300-AG.
Do not allow PolyGone 300-AG to come into contact with non-metal parts.
Any areas where primer has been removed or dissolved during sealant removal must
be cleaned and primed.
(5) Inspect sealant for condition. Remove any that appears deteriorated.
NOTE: All open fuel lines and disconnected fuel system components must be capped and
plugged to prevent contamination of the fuel system.
(6) Perform the ELECTRIC FUEL BOOST PUMP REMOVAL procedure (Ref. 28-20-03) on both
collector tanks.
(7) Disconnect the cross transfer fuel lines (4) from the forward end of both collector tanks and leave
loose (Ref. Figure 201).
(8) Remove the fuel strainers (2) from the forward end of both collector tanks.
(9) Remove the fuel probes (3) from the wall of both collector tanks leaving the wires attached and
set aside in the tank.
(10) Through panels 531CB and 631CB remove the transfer jet pump fuel pickup strainers (Ref.
Figure 202).
(11) Completely dry out all fuel from the following areas:
(a) The entire collector tank.
(b) An area along the main wing spar from WS 124.58 to WS 135.86 that extends forward to
access panel 531CB/631CB.
(c) An area along the main wing spar from WS 124.58 to WS 135.86 that extends aft to access
panel 532BB/632BB.
(12) Allow certified technicians to perform the following procedure and have them check the structures
noted in the FUEL SYSTEM TANK INSPECTION (Ref. 28-10-00), and also those noted in the
Model 1900 Airliner Series Corrosion Control Manual, FUEL TANK INTERNAL INSPECTION
(Ref. Chapter 28-10-01).
CAUTION: Ensure no personnel are in the area during the X-ray procedure.
B. Personnel & Safety
• All x-ray producing equipment can only be operated by personnel certified to level 2 or 3.
• All x-ray producing equipment will be operated in accordance with all state and NCR regulations.
• Any x-ray assistants must have required safety training.
• Radiation boundaries must be marked with ropes and signs to keep out unauthorized personnel.
C. Test Equipment

1. General
A. Description
(1) The two sections of the fuel system are connected by a cross-transfer line. Fuel is moved from
the outboard areas of the main tank to the collector tank by gravity. The fuel from the auxiliary
tank is pumped to the collector tank with a manually activated electric pump.
(2) The cross-transfer line connecting the individual sections of the fuel system is governed by a
switch-operated solenoid valve located in the LH main gear wheel well. When the valve is in its
normally closed position, each engine draws fuel from the individual section designed to feed it.
A manually operated cross-transfer control switch is mounted on the upper fuel control panel.
When the cross-transfer switch is activated, power is drawn from a circuit breaker on the lower
portion of the fuel control panel and fed to the solenoid portion of the cross-transfer valve, which
then opens the valve. When the LH or RH electric boost pump is activated, fuel is moved from
the pump to the collector tank in the opposite wing.
(3) The electrically driven fuel boost pump, located in the bottom of the collector tank, serves a
dual purpose. It transfers fuel from the side on which it is mounted to the collector tank in the
opposite wing and serves as a back-up for the engine-driven fuel boost pump. Should one of
the electric fuel boost pumps malfunction, the cross-transfer of fuel can only flow from the side
with the functioning fuel pump.
(4) The engine-driven boost pump is mounted on a pad at the aft accessory section of the engine.
Should this pump malfunction, the red L FUEL PRESS or R FUEL PRESS annunciator will
illuminate when the pressure drops below 10 psi. The annunciator will remain illuminated until
the electric boost pump is switched on and fuel pressure rises above 10 psi.
CAUTION: Airplane operation with the fuel pressure warning light on is limited
to 10 hours before the engine-driven fuel pump must be overhauled
or replaced.

1. General
A. Capacitance Fuel Quantity Indicating System
(1) The fuel indicating system is a capacitance type that is compensated for specific gravity and
reads in pounds on a liner scale. Electronic circuits in the system process the signals from the
fuel quantity (capacitance) probes in the fuel tanks for an accurate reporting of fuel quantity
(Ref. Figure 1). Each side of the airplane has an independent gaging system with five probes
strategically located in various areas of the main tank, one in the collector tank, and two in the
auxiliary tank.
(2) Fuel density and dielectric constant vary with respect to the temperature, fuel type and fuel batch.
The capacitance gaging system is designed to sense and compensate for these variables. The
fuel quantity probe is simply a variable capacitor comprised of two concentric tube. The inner
tube is profiled by changing the tube diameter so that the capacitance between the inner and
outer tube is proportional to the tank volume. The tubes serve as fixed electrodes and the fuel
of the tank in the space between the tubes acts as the dielectric of the fuel quantity probe. The
capacitance of the fuel quantity probe varies with respect to the change in the dielectric that
results from the ratio of fuel to air in the fuel cell. As the fuel level between the inner and outer
tubes rises, air with a dielectric constant of one is replaced by fuel with a dielectric constant of
approximately two, thus increasing the capacitance of the fuel quantity probe. This variation
in the volume of fuel contained in the fuel cell produces a capacitance variation that is a linear
function of that volume. This function is converted to a linear current that energizes the fuel
quantity indicator. Capacitance fuel probes are designed to produce a capacitance variation that
is linear in relation to variation in weight, even though the weight is nonlinear with respect to the
fuel level. By varying the capacitance per inch, the nonlinear level signal is changed to a linear
function. In addition to its capacitance sensing tubes, each fuel quantity probe contains a small
circuit network that produces an output current whose average value is directly proportional to
fuel level, while automatically compensating for fuel temperature-density variations. The ensuing
signal is further processed by a DC amplifier, inside the indicator, which contains a potentiometer
for adjusting the Full and Empty settings. The DC amplifier controls response time and drives a
D'Arsonval type meter on Gull Airborne or a servo-type meter on Ragen Data Systems indicators.
(3) Correct operation of capacitance fuel quantity indicating systems depends on proper system
connections. These connections should be thoroughly inspected before performing other
maintenance procedures. For detailed system checks and calibration. Refer to FUEL
QUANTITY - TROUBLESHOOTING, in this Chapter.
B. Fuel Quantity Capacitance Probes
(1) Each capacitance probe consists of two concentric tubes. The tubes serve as fixed electrodes
and the fuel of the tank in the space between the tubes acts as the dielectric of the probe. The
capacitance of the probe varies with respect to the change in the dielectric that results from the
ratio of fuel to air in the tank. The tubular capacitor elements of each capacitance probe are
profiled to match the contour of the tank in which it is installed to provide linear capacitance
versus volume in the tank at varying flight attitudes.
C. Low Fuel Quantity Warning System
(1) Sensors in the inboard wall of the main tank provide for low fuel quantity notification when the
fuel quantity drops below the sensing element prism. When the prism is not submerged, the
probe triggers current to the appropriate annunciator light. Sensors in the collector tank area of
the main tank provide the signals for the L or R COL TANK LOW annunciator light in the same
manner. The system is functionally tested by pressing the test switch, mounted adjacent to the
annunciator panel (Ref. Figure 2).
(2) The low fuel quantity sensors on a principal that allows a light produced within the sensor by
a reference light source to pass through a prism on the tip of the sensor when the probe is
submerged in fuel. When the prism is not submerged, the light is reflected back off the prism
bevel and back into the probe. The reflecting light is then sensed by a light sensitive transistor
which triggers the current for the appropriate annunciator light.
(3) An integral self-test circuit provides for functionally testing the sensor and its associated circuitry
by energizing a test light source in the probe. The test light is positioned to shine into the light
sensitive transistor even when the probe is submersed in fuel. When the warning annunciator

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
test switch is pressed, illumination of the annunciators is not immediate because of a time delay
built into the circuitry. The time delay is designed to allow up to a 4-second delay before the
annunciator light is activated. The time delay feature prevents false cycling of the annunciator
light when the fuel is moving around in the wing.
(4) Two additional liquid level indicators are located on the lower wing surface. These indicators
do not provide information to the pilot during flight, but are visible only on ground walk-around
inspection. The sight window in the outboard indicators will show black when 1200 or more
pounds of fuel is available in the tank and will show a black dot on a red background when
available fuel drops below 1200 pounds. The inboard sight window will have the same indications
at, above or below 800 pounds of available fuel.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. General
Troubleshooting of the fuel quantity indicating system requires the use of special tools. The Fuel Quantity
Test Set (1, Table 1, 28-00-00) simulates the signals necessary to check and calibrate the fuel quantity
indicating system. The 1900 probe selector unit (2, Table 1, 28-00-00) is used with the test set to check
probes and probe harnesses in groups or individually.
One 9-vdc battery inside the test set provides the power required to read insulation (conductance) and
capacitance. The LCD shows capacitance in picofarads (pF) and conductance in nano Siemens (nS).
Aircraft battery power or an auxiliary power source is required to simulate capacitance for indicator
checking and calibration.
Troubleshooting checks are carried out in five phases: checking the system harness insulation, probe
harness insulation, system capacitance, probe capacitance and checking the indicator. If the indicator
does not check or is replaced, it must be calibrated.
A. System Insulation Check
NOTE: Connect a regulated 28-vdc external power supply to the airplane when troubleshooting
or calibrating.
This test procedure may be performed with full, partially full or empty tanks. Display readings are
presented in nano Siemens (nS), equivalent megohms are derived by dividing 1000 by the LCD display
reading: 1000/50 nS = 20 Megohms. These checks are identical for left and right fuel systems.
(1) Locate the test set conveniently for the procedures that follow.
(2) Ensure that the test set ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position.
CAUTION: Power to the airplane must be off when lowering or raising the
fuel control panel to preclude the possibility of shorting any wiring
connections to ground.
(3) Ensure that the battery switch is OFF.
(4) Open the fuel quantity system circuit breakers.
(5) Set the airplane's fuel select switch to MAIN.
(6) Gain access to the fuel quantity indicator.
(7) Disconnect the airplane's harness from the fuel quantity indicator.
(8) Connect the test set to the airplane's harness.
NOTE: Do not connect the test set to the fuel quantity indicator.
(20) Set the airplane's fuel select switch to AUX. Repeat Steps (11) through (19).
(21) When any of the above checks are out of tolerance, isolate the airplane's wire harness from the
probe wire harnesses. The main tank wire harness connectors are behind access panel 531AT
(LH) and 631AT (RH). Refer to Chapter 06-50-00, Figure 4, for access panel locations. The
auxiliary tank wire harness connectors are behind panel 512BB (LH) and 612BB (RH). Refer to
Chapter 06-50-00, Figure 5, for access panel locations.
(22) Repeat Steps (9) through (19). Acceptable readings are 005 nS or less. If the insulation readings
are acceptable, the fault lies in the main tank wire harness to the probes. If not, the fault is in
the airplane's wire harness between the indicator in the cockpit out to the wing.
(23) Perform the PROBE INSULATION TEST when any faults have been isolated to the probe wire
harnesses.
NOTE: The results of the preceding checks must be within the stated limits. If any results
are slightly outside of these limits, repeat the entire procedure to ensure that failure
of the checks was not due to human error.
(24) Turn the test set OFF. Disconnect the test set. Connect the airplane's wire harnesses to the
original configuration.
B. Probe Insulation Check
The probe insulation check may be performed with the fuel tanks full, partially full or empty.
NOTE: Do not connect the test set IND connector to the airplane's wire harness.
(18) Using the switch on the selector unit, select each individual probe and repeat Steps (10) through
(15): the reading for each probe should be less than 50 nS, and the total readings for all the
probes must not exceed 50 nS except in the SIG/RTN position, which should show an overrange
indication.
NOTE: When testing individual probes, the indication can be anywhere between 1500
nS and overrange. The Barfield DC400 Instruction Manual calls for an overrange
indication when testing individual probes in every instance. This is not always
true, as tests on individual probes will not always indicate overrange on the test
equipment. Not receiving an overrange indication does not mean the probe is bad
and will require replacement.
NOTE: If any component has been changed, perform SYSTEM CAPACITANCE CHECKS
and SYSTEM CALIBRATION.
(26) Place the test set ON/OFF switch in the OFF position, and restore the airplane to its original
condition.
C. System Capacitance Check
The following checks must be performed with the airplane's fuel tanks either completely empty or
completely full.
(1) Locate the test set convenient to the indicator for these checks.
(2) Ensure that the ON/OFF switch on the test set is in the OFF position.
(3) Ensure that the battery master switch is OFF.
(4) Open the fuel quantity system circuit breakers.
(5) Place the fuel select switch to MAIN.
(6) Gain access to fuel quantity indicator.
(7) Disconnect the fuel quantity indicator harness from the rear of the indicator.
(8) Connect the test set to the ACFT connector to the indicator harness.
NOTE: Do not connect the IND connector to the fuel quantity indicator.
(9) Rotate the TEST FUNCTION selector on the test set to PROBES.
(10) Place the INSULATION/SYSTEM switch to SYSTEM.
(11) Place the MAIN/TOT-AUX/NAC switch to MAIN/TOT.
(12) Place the shorting switch to the YES position.
(13) Place the 200 pF/1000 pF switch to the 200 pF position if tanks are empty or to the 1000 pF
position if the tanks are full.
(14) Place the test set ON/OFF switch to ON.
(15) P ress and hold the PRESS TO READ CAP (pF) push button: the reading should be within the
range shown in Table 101.

NOTE: Record these empty and full capacitance values in the airframe log for future
reference.
NOTE: Record these empty and full capacitance values in the airframe log for future
reference.
(18) If the system capacitance is out of tolerance, perform the PROBE CAPACITANCE CHECK.
(19) Place the test set ON/OFF switch in the OFF position and disconnect the test set from the
indicator harness.
(20) Return the airplane to the original configuration.
D. Probe Capacitance Check

NOTE: Connect the test set ACFT connector to the airplane's wire harness and the IND
connector to the indicator.
While calibrating the system with empty tanks is more reliable than the alternate procedure, the
accuracy of the alternate procedure (full tanks) can be appreciably enhanced if the empty-tanks
value is known. It is recommended that when the empty capacitance value is determined, it should
be recorded in the airframe log for future use in calibrating.
NOTE: Any time a probe is changed, a new empty tank value will have to be established.
The preferred procedure (undrainable fuel only) makes use of the actual empty-tank value in adjusting
the zero indication. The alternate procedure (full tanks) applies a nominal empty-tank value to the
system by the test set for the zero indication.
Both procedures will be outlined in the following text; however, it must be remembered that the
alternate procedure is a stop-gap procedure only and the system should be calibrated using the
preferred procedure at the earliest convenience of the operator.
H. Empty Tanks Calibration (Preferred Procedure)
(1) Defuel the airplane and drain sumps as described in Chapter 12-10-00.
(2) Locate the test set conveniently for working in the cockpit.
(3) Ensure that the ON/OFF switch on the test set is OFF.
(4) Ensure that the battery switch is OFF and the fuel quantity circuit breakers are open.
(5) Remove the three screws from the top of the hinged fuel control panel to gain access to the fuel
quantity indicator.
(6) Disconnect the wiring connector from the indicator.
(7) Connect the test set ACFT connector to the indicator wire harness and connect the test set IND
connector to the indicator.
(8) Rotate the TEST FUNCTION selector to CAP SIM CAL (NORM SYS).
(9) Place the INSULATION/SYSTEM switch to SYSTEM.
(10) Place the MAIN/TOT-AUX/NAC switch to MAIN/TOT.

(13) Place the ON/OFF switch to ON.
(14) Close the appropriate fuel quantity circuit breakers.
(15) Turn the battery switch ON.
NOTE: There are two different indicators which may be installed: one type of indicator has
a power-off dot below the "0" graduation.
(16) The fuel quantity indicator needle should rest between the "0" indication and the power-off dot
on indicators which have the power-off dot, or the needle should rest approximately one needle
width below the "0" indication on indicators without the power-off dot. Should the indication be
inconsistent with the preceding guidelines, adjust the EMP 1/E1 or E/EMP adjustment on the
back of the indicator.
(17) Set the airplane's fuel select switch to AUX. The indicator should read "0". Make adjustments
as required using the on E2/EMP 2 adjustment on the back of the indicator.
(18) Set the airplane's fuel select switch back to MAIN.
(19) Use the procedures in SETTING CAPACITANCE SIMULATION to set a capacitance value on
the test set to ADD CAP = 135.9 pF.
(20) Rotate the TEST FUNCTION selector to ADD CAP.
(21) The value set on the test set is added to the current empty tank reading which will simulate a full
tank. Adjust the F/FULL adjustment on the indicator to read the maximum fuel quantities shown
in Table 103.
NOTE: Recheck empty and full adjustments made to the indicator to ensure accurate
calibration.
NOTE: Check the airframe log for an empty tank value and, if available, use that value in
place of the values given in Table 101.
NOTE: Check the airframe log for an empty tank value and, if available, use that value in
place of the value shown in Table 101.
NOTE: Recheck the empty and full adjustments made to the indicator to ensure accurate
calibration.
NOTE: The grounding clip is not used when testing and integral tank probe that does not
have a flange. The shorting switch is still placed in the YES position.
(7) Place the ON/OFF switch on the test set in the ON position.
(8) P ress the PRESS TO READ CAP(pF) push button to read the probe capacitance on the LCD
allowing sufficient time for the LCD to stabilize.
(9) The probe capacitance value must be within the tolerance as specified, by part number in Table
102.
(10) If the probe capacitance is not within tolerance, the probe should be replaced.
(11) Rotate the TEST FUNCTION selector to IND AMP.
(12) Place the INSULATION/SYSTEM switch in the IN nS position.
(13) Place the shorting switch to the NO position.
(14) Rotate the INS TEST POINT selector to LO-Z GND.
(15) Allow sufficient time for the LCD to stabilize: the LCD reading must be less than 50 nS.
(16) Rotate the INS TEST POINT selector to each of the remaining position allowing sufficient time
for the LCD to stabilize in each position: all readings must be less than 50 nS except in the
SIG/RTN position which will display and overrange indication (1---).
(17) Should any of the preceding indications be inconsistent with the expected results, the probe
should be replaced.
(18) Place the ON/OFF switch on the test set in the OFF position and disconnect the test set adapter
from the probe.
K. Low Fuel Quantity Warning - Troubleshooting
Should the low fuel quantity indicating system fail to test correctly or should the annunciators illuminate
falsely, a complete check of the system wiring is indicated. Removal of the sensors from the tanks
will necessitate defueling the airplane (Chapter 12-10-00). Once the technician is satisfied as to the
integrity of the system wiring, the fault may be assumed to be in the sensor, and the inoperative sensor
may be replaced according to the procedure under FUEL QUANTITY INDICATING - MAINTENANCE
PRACTICES.
NOTE: No adjustments or repairs can be made to the sensor; therefore, an improperly operating
sensor must be replaced.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. General
A. Description
(1) The airplane is equipped with a variety of ice and rain protection systems that can be utilized
during inclement weather. Electrical heating elements embedded in the windshield provide
adequate protection against the formation of ice while air from the cabin heating systems
prevents fogging to ensure visibility during operation under icing conditions. Heavy duty
windshield wipers for both the pilot and copilot provide further visibility during rainy flight
conditions. Pneumatic deicer boots on the wings, the stabilons, the tail-lets and the horizontal
stabilizers prevent the formation of ice during flight. Regulated bleed air pressure and vacuum
are cycled to the pneumatic boots for the inflation-deflation cycle. The selector switch that
controls the system permits automatic single cycle operation or manual operation.
(2) Ice protection for the engine is provided by an inertial separation anti-icer system utilizing
moveable vanes operated by an electric actuator for each engine. Each inertial ice vane
actuator contains a main and a standby motor to which power is supplied through individual
5-ampere circuit breakers located in the Lower Forward Electrical Equipment Panel beneath
the center aisle floorboard just aft of the flight compartment. When icing conditions are
encountered, the moveable vanes are repositioned in the inlet airstream to induce an abrupt
turn in the airflow before entering the engine plenum. The heavy ice-laden air is then discharged
overboard through a bypass duct in the lower cowling at the aft end of the air duct while directing
the lighter ice-free air into the engine plenum. The lip around each engine air inlet is heated
by hot exhaust gases to prevent the formation of ice. This system is operational anytime the
engine is running. The propellers are protected against icing by electrothermal boots on each
blade that automatically cycle upon actuation. Heat from the boots reduces the grip of the ice,
which is then removed by the centrifugal effect of propeller rotation and the blast of the stream.
(3) Engine bleed air is routed by a hose through a solenoid-operated shutoff valve to a distributor
manifold that directs the hot air to the brakes for deicing.
(4) A heating element in each pitot mast and alternate static button prevents them from becoming
clogged with ice. The heating elements are connected into the airplane electrical system. Two
circuit breaker switches on the left subpanel control the heating elements.
(5) The fuel vents located in the wing tips are protected from freeze-up by a switch-controlled heater.
Switches for the system are located on the pilot's inboard subpanel. Power for the heated fuel
vents is supplied through 5-ampere circuit breakers located in the Lower Forward Electrical
Equipment Panel beneath the center aisle floorboard just aft of the flight compartment.
(6) The stall warning transducer is protected from freeze-up by a stall warning heat sensor control
relay and a 15-ampere circuit breaker located in the lower forward electrical equipment panel
beneath the center aisle floorboard just aft of the flight compartment. Refer to Chapter 27-31-00.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. General
A. The heated air for brake deicing is supplied by bleeding air from the compressor of each engine. This
engine bleed air is routed by a line on the left side of each nacelle to a solenoid-operated shutoff valve
in the center of the firewall. From the shutoff valve, bleed air is routed through a hose secured to the
aft side of the landing gear strut and down to a distributor manifold attached to the two bottom bolts
in the piston and axle assembly. The bleed air is directed to the brake for each wheel through orifices
around the circumference of each ring of the distributor manifold.
B. The brake deice system is controlled by an ON-OFF toggle switch mounted on the subpanel to the
right of the pilot's control column. When this switch is placed in the ON position, power from the
airplane electrical system is supplied through a 5-ampere circuit breaker in the copilot's sidepanel to
a control module located under the center aisle floorboard at Fuselage Station 213.25, in line with the
first cabin window. This module supplies current to open the solenoid shutoff valves in each wheel
well, allowing the hot bleed air to enter the distributor manifold for diffusion through the orifices to deice
the brakes. A switch on the bottom of each solenoid simultaneously provides a signal to illuminate
the green L BK DEICE ON and R BK DEICE ON annunciator lights. The annunciator panel lights
are located forward of the pedestal in the center of the subpanel. If the airplane takes off without the
control switch for the brake deice system having been switched OFF, a circuit is completed through
the uplock switch to a timing circuit in the control module when the main landing gears reach the up
and locked position. This timing circuit will cycle the deice system off after 10 minutes of operation,
thereby closing the solenoid valve in the wheel well to shut off the flow of bleed air to the brakes so
that adjacent components in the wheel well will incur no damage through overheating. Should the
bleed air pressure-activated tubes melt, LH and RH overheat pressure switches provide a signal to
illuminate the amber L BK DI OVHT and R BK DI OVHT lights in the annunciator panel. The system
cannot be activated until the landing gear is cycled from the up and locked position. Refer to Chapter
32-42-00 for removal and installation procedures of the brake deicer.

1. General
A. Surface Deicer System
(1) The deicer and vacuum system is operated with pressure obtained by tapping off bleed air from
the engine compressors. This air is routed through a regulator valve that is set to maintain the
pressure required to inflate the deicer boots on the leading edge of each wing, the stabilons, the
taillets, and the horizontal stabilizers. To assure operation of the system should one engine fail,
a check valve is incorporated in the bleed air line from each engine to prevent the escape of air
pressure into the chamber of the inoperative compressor. The bleed air from the engine is also
routed through an ejector that employs the venturi effect to produce vacuum for deflation of the
deicer boots and operation of the instruments (Ref Figure 1).
(2) The inflation and deflation phases of the surface deicer system operation are controlled by
means of a distributor valve. The deicer system is actuated by a three-way toggle switch on
the LH inboard subpanel, placarded SURFACE DEICE - SINGLE - MANUAL. The SURFACE
DEICE switch is spring-loaded to return to the OFF position from either the MANUAL or
SINGLE cycle position. When the switch is pushed to the SINGLE cycle position, one complete
cycle of deicer operation automatically follows as the distributor valves open to inflate the
deicer boots. The outboard wing deicer boots inflate during the first six second inflation period.
A timer relay then switches the distributor to deflate the outboard wing boots and inflate the
center section, stabilons, taillets, and horizontal stabilizer deicer boots during the second six
second inflation period. After the inflation period, the timer relay switches the distributor valves
to OFF, or VACUUM position for deflation of the deicer boots. Pressure switches located in the
inboard and outboard wing areas and the tail area of the deice system sense the application of
pressure. When proper pressure is sensed in these areas, the INBD WG DEICE, TAIL DEICE,
or OUTBD WG DEICE, annunciator lights will illuminate during the deice cycle to show proper
operation of the system. When the switch is pushed to the MANUAL position, all the boots will
inflate and will continue to hold in the inflated positions as long as the switch is held in position.
Upon release of the switch, the distributor valve returns to the OFF position, and the deicer
boots remain deflated until the switch is actuated again.
(3) The deicer system on this airplane is equipped with a combination vacuum and pressure line
from a central distributor valve to provide pressure for inflation and vacuum for deflation of the
boots.
(4) The vacuum line for the instruments is routed through a suction relief valve that is designed to
admit into the system the amount of air required to reduce venturi vacuum sufficiently for proper
operation of the instruments.
CAUTION: Do not operate the deicer boots below -40° F. Exceeding this limit
can result in permanent damage to the deicers.

AIRFOIL - TROUBLESHOOTING
1. General
CAUTION: Check the part identification of the deicer boot before using methyl propyl
ketone on the deicer boot. Should the boot be labeled ESTANE (on
airplanes UE-1 thru UE-51), use toluol (12, Table 2, 30-00-00) on the
boot. DO NOT ALLOW METHYL PROPYL KETONE TO CONTACT
ESTANE BOOTS.
(1) Starting at one corner of the upper trailing edge of the boot, soften the adhesion line with solvent
(12, Table 2, 30-00-00) on Estane boots (airplanes UE-1 thru UE-51) or solvent (1, Table 2,
30-00-00) on neoprene boots (airplanes UE-1 and After).
(2) Apply a minimum amount of solvent to the seam line while carefully applying tension to peel
back the boot.
(3) Using a brush or trigger-type oil can to apply solvent, separate the boot from the leading edge
for a chordwise distance of four inches across the upper trailing edge.
NOTE: The separated area between the boot and leading edge will act as a reservoir for
the solvent; consequently, the boot may be pulled forward with uniform tension.
(4) From the centerline of the leading edge, continue to apply solvent while tension is being applied
to undercut the adhesive until the boot is removed.
(5) Thoroughly clean all adhesive from the leading edge with clean, grease-free cloths dampened
with solvent (1, Table 2, 30-00-00).
C. Installation
When installing boots over a primed or painted surface, the following procedures should be used:
CAUTION: Check the part identification of the deicer boot before using methyl
propyl ketone on the deicer boot. Should the boot be labeled ESTANE
(airplanes UE-1 thru UE-51), use toluol (12, Table 2, 30-00-00) on the
boot. DO NOT ALLOW METHYL PROPYL KETONE TO CONTACT
ESTANE BOOTS.
(1) With 3/4-inch masking tape, mask off the area to be covered by the boot, allowing 1/2 to 3/4-inch
margin beyond the actual area. Mask off accurately to avoid unnecessary clean up of excess
adhesive.
(3) In bare areas where primer may have pulled off when the boot was removed, scour surface with
a scour pad (27, Table 2, 30-00-00) and then treat the metal with coating (26, Table 2, 30-00-00)
and apply cement primer (25, Table 2, 30-00-00). On epoxy primed metal, use a scour pad (27,
Table 2, 30-00-00) or a 320 grit sandpaper to remove the gloss. Do not sand through the primer.
Use clean solvent dampened cloth to remove sanding particles per above.
(4) Clean the metal surface with a clean cloth dampened with solvent (1, Table 2, 30-00-00), then
quickly wipe the surface dry with a clean, grease-free dry cloth.
(5) Carefully clean the rough back surface of the boot at least twice with a clean, grease-free cloth
moistened with solvent (1, Table 2, 30-00-00) for neoprene boots or solvent (12, Table 2, 30-00-
00) for Estane boots. Change cloths frequently to avoid recontaminating the cleaned areas. Do
not saturate the back surface too heavily with solvent or scrub repeatedly. Allow to dry thoroughly
before cementing.
NOTE: If the finish on the back of the boot is smooth, mechanically roughen the bonding
surface slightly before cleaning.
(6) Prepare test strips as instructed under the heading, TEST CONTROL STRIPS.
(7) Open the container and thoroughly stir the adhesive (3 or 14, Table 2, 30-00-00) with a clean
stick. Do not attempt to use adhesive that has jelled too much to drip from the stick.
NOTE: Do not apply adhesive at temperatures below 50°F or at a relative humidity above
90%, or under extremely dusty conditions. The following table will serve as a guide
for adhesive application:
NOTE: Brushing to long in one area will cause the cement to roll or ball up. To facilitate
brushing, the EC-1300L (EC1403) adhesive may be thinned up to 10% with a 50/50
blend of MPK and toluol.
(a) Brush one even coat of adhesive (3 or 14, Table 2, 30-00-00) on both the deicer boot back
and the metal surface. After allowing the cement to dry, stir cement and apply a second
even coat to both surfaces.
(b) Allow the second coat to dry for at least 30 minutes, preferably an hour, before installing
the deicer boot.
CAUTION: Do not allow excessive amounts of solvent to contact the boot; the
purpose of the solvent is to undercut the adhesive. If the adhesive
is removed from either the boot or leading edge, it must be replaced
and allowed to dry for 30 minutes minimum before continuing.
(11) Continue to activate the surfaces and roll on each top half and lower half of the boot in sequence.
Exerting pressure, use the 2-inch rubber roller on the entire surface of the boot parallel with the
inflatable tubes, and use the narrow steel stitcher roller on the trailing edge. Take care to avoid
entrapping air throughout the rolling operation. If an air blister does occur, carefully remove the
boot, using a brush dipped in solvent (1, Table 2, 30-00-00) for neoprene boots or solvent (12,
Table 2, 30-00-00) for Estane boots, so that the air can escape, then press the surface down
until the adhesive surface seals.
(12) Using a sharp knife, trim the boot as required for proper fit. A 0.75-inch edge distance must be
maintained between the inflatable tube and the edge of the trim. After the trimming process has
been completed, roll the entire surface of the deicer boot.
(13) Cut out the wing deice boot around the stall warning transducer and any inspection plates which
fall beneath the boot installation to provide 0.02 to 0.06 inch of clearance around the perimeter
of the transducer or inspection plates.
(14) Carefully cut a 0.19-inch diameter hole in the deicer boot to match the drain hole in the wing
leading edge (Ref. Figure 201).
(15) Clean the area around the hole with solvent (12, Table 2, 30-00-00).
(16) Bond a new P/N 129-970000-3 grommet (scupper) to the deice boot over the drain hole with
cement (18, Table 2, 30-00-00) for estane boots or adhesive (31, Table 2, 30-00-00) for neoprene
boots (Ref. Figure 201).
(17) Remove all masking tape and clean excessive adhesive off with a clean white cloth dampened
with solvent (1, Table 2, 30-00-00) for neoprene boots or solvent (12, Table 2, 30-00-00) for
Estane boots, being careful not to allow the solvent to run under the edges of the boot.
(18) Perform an adhesion test of the test strips for boot adhesion acceptability as instructed under
the heading, TEST CONTROL STRIPS.
(19) Install masking tape approximately 1/4 inch around the boot for uniform straight lines, then seal
the edges of the boots as follows:
(a) For neoprene boots, seal all cut edges and trailing edges with sealing compound (5, Table
2, 30-00-00) and/or sealant (21, Table 2, 30-00-00).
(b) Remove the tape before the sealing compound cures.
(c) For Estane boots (wing break to wing tip boots only), seal all trim-outs and vertical splices
to the adjoining boot at the wing break with sealant (21, Table 2, 30-00-00). Mix 100 parts
of base to 40 parts of accelerator by weight to all trailing edges of the boots with Edge
Sealer Kit (22, Table 2, 30-00-00). This kit consists of part 1 KE-7804 base and part 2
KE-7005 accelerator (Mix 12 parts of KE-7804 base to 1 part of KE-7005 accelerator by
weight).
NOTE: Edge Sealer Kit (tape kit) (22, Table 2, 30-00-00) is also approved for use
on all Estane boots.
NOTE: The following instructions are provided to supply relief from the 48 hours of drying time
recommended for EC-1300L adhesive on pneumatic deicers and stall strips. This applies
to the deicers with 1 1/4 inch or narrower tubes operating at 20 psi or less pressure.
The chart gives the reduced drying times after installation for the applicable pneumatic deicers and
stall strips (Ref. Figure 202). If stall strips only are being installed, the drying time indicated by the
chart is preferred, however it is permissible to operate the airplane after 4.5 hours drying time.
If the deicers are flexed before 48 hours of drying time, the deicer boots and/or stall strips must be
checked for signs of lifting as soon as possible and be reinstalled or replaced if visible signs of lifting
are present.
NOTE: The test strip may be run on a separate aluminum panel made of the same alloy as the leading
edge skin. The same surface preparations and bonding requirements as previously stated
shall apply.
When applying the test strip, leave approximately an inch of one end free of adhesive for the purpose of
attaching a clamp for the adhesion test. Allow the strip to cure the same amount of time as allowed for
the boots (Ref. Figure 202).
A. Adhesion Test
EC-1300L Drying Time for Standard Pneumatic Deicers and Stall Strips
Figure 202 (Sheet 1)
Using a spring scale (5, Table 1, 30-00-00) attached to a clamp on the unbonded end of the test strip,
measure the force required to remove the strip at a rate of four inches per minute. The pull shall
be applied 180° to the surface (strip doubled back on itself). A minimum requirement of five pounds
tension shall be required to remove the test strip. In the event of test failure, perform the BOOT
ACCEPTABILITY procedure in this section.
If these adhesion requirements are met, the airplane may be flown after installation of the deicer boot;
however, if the deice boot is activated before the 48 hour set time, it must be inspected for any signs
of lifting or debonding at the next maintenance facility or within 10 hours.
B. Boot Acceptability
In the event of failure of test strip, acceptability shall be based on the following:
(1) Carefully loosen and lift one corner of the newly installed deicer boot sufficiently to attach a
clamp.
(2) Attach a spring scale (5, Table 1, 30-00-00) to the clamp and pull with a force 180° to the surface
in such a direction that the boot tends to be removed on a diagonal.
(3) If a force of five pounds per inch of width can be exerted under these conditions, the installation
is satisfactory.
(4) If these adhesion requirements are met, the airplane can be flown immediately. Do not inflate
the deicer boot within 48 hours after installation of the boot.
(5) Attach the boot corner (Ref. the SURFACE DEICER BOOT INSTALLATION procedure in this
section).
(6) If the deicer system is activated, the deicer boots must be inspected for any lifting or debonding
at the next base maintenance facility or within 10 hours, whichever occurs first.
(7) Failure of the boot to meet the above requirement necessitates complete removal and
reinstallation of the boot.
4. Stall Strip
A. Installation (Pressure Sensitive Adhesion)
Refer to Chapter 30 of the Model 1900 Airliner Series Component Maintenance Manual and B. F.
Goodrich publication 30-10-79, latest revision, for installation and removal procedures. Refer to the
STALL STRIP INSTALLATION procedure and Figure 203 in this section for installation locations.
B. Installation
The stall strips are 12 inches long and are located on top of the wing leading edge deice boots (Ref.
Figure 203). On the LH wing, the inboard edge of the stall strip is located 12 inches ±0.10 inch
outboard of WS 147.74. On the RH wing, the inboard edge of the stall strip is located 25 inches ±0.10
inch outboard of WS 147.74. The wing leading edge skin joint that exists at WS 147.74 may be used
to aid in location of the stall strips (Ref. Chapter 06-30-00).
NOTE: The radii used corners of the stall strip are to be next to the deice boot when installed.
(1) Clean the boot surface thoroughly, removing all old cement. Mask off the area where the new
stall strip is to be installed and wipe with solvent (12, Table 2, 30-00-00) on airplanes UE-1 thru
UE-51 with Estane boots or with solvent (1, Table 2, 30-00-00) on airplanes UE-1 and After with
neoprene boots.
(2) Scuff sand the bonding area of both the boot and the stall strip with 280 grit sandpaper. Clean
both areas.
(3) Bonding of stall strips on Estane boots:
Cement the stall strips to the deice boot with cement (18, Table 2, 30-00-00). Mix 32 parts of
A1503B (by weight) to one part of A1343B by (by weight). Brush (as evenly as possible) a coat
of the cement to dry approximately 15 minutes. Apply a second coat to the bonding surfaces
and allow to dry to a tacky film (approximately 2 to 5 minutes).
(4) Bonding of stall strips on neoprene boots:
Attach the stall strips to the deice boot with a mixture of adhesive. Mix 1 part Combi-Bond
Hardener with 17 parts Combi-Bond Cold Bond Adhesive by weight (29, Table 2, 30-00-00).
Apply two coats of well mixed adhesive to both the stall strip and the area to be bonded, allowing
15 to 30 minutes (depending on temperature conditions) between each coat. Apply a second
coat to the bonding surfaces and allow to dry to a tacky film (approximately 8 to 12 minutes).
(5) Bonding of stall strips on neoprene boots (optional method):
This method may be used to install neoprene stall strips only. EC-1300L adhesive is not
compatible with estane material.
Attach the stall strip to the deice boot with adhesive (3, Table 2, 30-00-00). Brush one even coat
of adhesive on the bonding surfaces and allow it to dry. Apply a second coat on the bonding
surfaces and allow it to set for at least 30 minutes, preferably an hour.
(6) Install the stall strip, pressing it into place using a 2-inch wide rubber roller (3, Table 1, 30-00-00)
to assure maximum surface contact.
NOTE: Maintain positive pressure on the Stall Strip until cured. Allow the Combi-Bond
adhesive to cure 48 hours before inflating the deicer boots.
(7) Remove the masking tape immediately after installation and before the application times expires
on adhesive systems. Clean excess adhesive from around the stall strip.
(8) On Estane boots allow 24 hours setting time and on neoprene boots allow 48 hours (unless the
optional bonding method is used) before flying the airplane. If the optional bonding method is
used (Step (5)), refer to SHORTENED EC-1300L DRYING TIME FOR STANDARD PNEUMATIC
DEICERS AND STALL STRIPS.
NOTE: Always use the appropriate solvent for the boot being installed.
C. Surface Deicer Boot Age Master and Icex Application
CAUTION: To avoid the loss of vital components needed for the protective
agent to penetrate the rubber and to ensure fire safety precautions,
do not spray the rubber protector (6, Table 2, 30-00-00).
(4) Using a brush or three-inch trim roller or a two-inch by four-inch swab of lint-free cloth (wet but
not dripping), apply a heavy coat of rubber protector (6, Table 2, 30-00-00). Plastic or rubber
gloves should be used with the swab method to prevent staining the skin. Apply at a rate of
0.4 to 0.5 fluid ounces per square foot (130 to 160 ml. per square meter). Cover the surface
completely and evenly in uniform strokes.
(5) Allow the first coat of rubber protector to dry from five to ten minutes.
NOTE: A minimum two coats of rubber protector is required for a complete treatment.
(6) Apply a second coat of the rubber protector as outlined in Step (4). Apply a total of 0.75 fluid
ounces per square foot (240 ml. per square meter) for effective protection. Allow the second
coat to dry 20 to 30 minutes before handling.
NOTE: After applying the second coat of rubber protector (6, Table 2, 30-00-00) to the
boot, let the coat dry for a minimum of 24 hours before applying compound (7,
Table 2, 30-00-00). Without further cleaning, apply the compound directly over the
rubber protector.
(7) Thin the compound (7, Table 2, 30-00-00) with solvent (9, Table 2, 30-00-00) to obtain a thin
coat for application.
(8) Use a clean cloth saturated with the thinned compound for application. Hand buff with a clean
cloth until a smooth glossy surface is obtained.
NOTE: Reapply both the rubber protector (6, Table 2, 30-00-00) and compound (7, Table 2,
30-00-00) every 150 flight hours.
NOTE: Patch sizes can be trimmed to accommodate small areas, as long as the patch extends a
minimum of 1/2 inch beyond the damaged area on all sides.
To maintain the maximum functional efficiency of the surface deicer boots, the following limits are
allowed:
• For pin hole repair, use the pin hole repair kit (30, Table 2, 30-00-00). Refer to instructions provided
with kit for repair procedure.
• Pin hole repairs 1/16 in. or smaller - it is recommended that no more than 20 pin hole repairs are
made per 12" square or
• Small patches 1 1/4 in. x 2 1/2 in. - 3 patches per 12 inch square or
• Medium patches 2 1/2 in. x 5 in. - 2 patches per 12 inch square or
• Large patches 5 in. x 10 in. - 1 patch per 12 inch square or
• 2 small patches and 1 medium patch per 12 inch square.
• Replace any deicer that has a cut, tear or rupture greater then 3/4 inches in length.
A. Goodrich Pneumatic Deicer Patch Replacement
The following guidelines are recommended in assessing the need for immediate replacement of repair
patches on Goodrich pneumatic deicers (Ref. Figure 204).
(1) If the lifted (debonded) area of the patch results in loss of air at the site of the patch, the patch
should be replaced prior to the next flight.
(2) If the lifted (debonded) area of the patch extends more than 0.19 inch inward from the edge of
the patch, the patch should be replaced prior to the next flight.
(3) If the lifted (debonded) area of the patch extends less than 0.19 inch inward from the edge of
the patch and the patch is not leaking air, the patch should be replaced at the next available
maintenance opportunity.
B. Resurfacing Deicer Boots (Estane Only) (UE-1 thru UE-51)
Edge sealer Kit (22, Table 2, 30-00-00) is available for resurfacing of Estane boots. Refer to the
instructions provided with the kit for resurfacing of the boots.
C. Resurfacing Deicer Boots (Neoprene Only) (UE-1 and After)
Resurfacing Kit (23, Table 2, 30-00-00) is available for resurfacing of neoprene boots. Refer to the
instructions provided with the kit for resurfacing of the boots.
D. Scuff Damage
This damage is the type most commonly encountered and generally will require no repair; however,
close visual inspection when the boots are cycled may expose deep scuffs and cuts. On those
occasions, if the entire ply surface (0.010 inch) has been removed, or if the boot is cut, patch the
damage. BFGoodrich Kit 74-451-C (for neoprene boots) or Kit 74-451-H (for Estane boots) contain
cold patches suitable for repairing the damaged area. Cold patch repairs can be made as follows:
(1) Clean the area around the damage with a clean, grease-free cloth dampened with solvent (12,
Table 2, 30-00-00) or unleaded gasoline.
(2) Using steel wool, buff the area around the damage so that it is moderately, but completely
roughened.
NOTE: A locally manufactured buffing shield, fabricated from any thin sheet material, will
assure a neater repair.
(3) Wipe the buffed area with a clean grease-free cloth dampened with solvent (12, Table 2, 30-00-
00) to remove loose particles.
(4) Select a repair patch which will extend at least 1/2 inch beyond the damaged area in all directions.
(5) Apply one even coat of No. 4 cement, provided in the repair kit, to the patch and the damaged
area. Allow the cement to dry until tacky.
(6) Apply the patch to the boot with an edge, or the center, adhering first. Work the patch down
carefully to avoid air pockets. Thoroughly roll the patch down with a stitcher roller.
NOTE: The patches are manufactured to stretch in one direction only. Be sure to cut and
apply the selected patch so that stretch is in the widthwise (chordwise) direction of
the inflatable tubes. The length of the patch shall run along the length of the tubes.
CAUTION: Check the part identification of the deicer boot before using solvent
(1, Table 2, 30-00-00) on the deicer boot. If the boot is labeled
ESTANE, use solvent (12, Table 2, 30-00-00) on the boot. DO
NOT ALLOW METHYL PROPYL KETONE TO CONTACT ESTANE
BOOTS.
(7) Allow the patch to set for 10 to 15 minutes, then clean the patch and surrounding area with a
clean cloth dampened with solvent (1, Table 2, 30-00-00) for neoprene boots or solvent (12,
Table 2, 30-00-00) for Estane boots.
(8) Satisfactory adhesion of the patch will be reached in about four hours; however, the boot may
be inflated to check the repair after a minimum of 30 minutes.
(9) Apply a smooth light coat of sealing compound (5, Table 2, 30-00-00) to seal and feather the
edges of the patch to the boot.
(10) After the cement and sealing compound has dried and cured, apply a thin coating of compound
(7, Table 2, 30-00-00) to the patch and surrounding area.
E. Tube Area Damage
Repair cuts, tears or ruptures to the tube area as follows:
(1) Clean the area around the damage with a clean, grease-free cloth dampened with solvent (12,
Table 2, 30-00-00) or unleaded gasoline.
(2) Buff the area around the damage with the buffing stick provided in the repair kit.
(3) Wipe the buffed area with a clean, grease-free cloth dampened with solvent (12, Table 2, 30-00-
00) to remove loose particles.
(4) Select a patch of ample size to cover the damaged area and extend at least 5/8 inch beyond the
ends and edges of the cut or tear.
NOTE: If none of the patches are the size required, cut a patch of the desired size from
one of the larger patches. If this is done, bevel the edges by cutting with shears
at an angle.
(5) Complete the installation of the patch as outlined in the paragraph SCUFF DAMAGE, Steps (4)
thru (10).
(2) After approximately six seconds make sure that the OUTBD WG DEICE annunciator goes out
and the INBD WG DEICE and the TAIL DEICE annunciators both come on.
(3) Select the SURFACE DEICE switch to MANUAL (down and hold) and make sure that the OUBD
WG DEICE, INBD WG DEICE, and TAIL DEICE annunciators come on.
(4) Release the SURFACE DEICE switch to off (spring loaded to center).
NOTE: During inflation, the pneumatic pressure gage should register approximately 18 psi.
(5) Release the deicer control switch and let it return to the OFF position.
NOTE: The deicer boots should deflate to the vacuum hold-down position.
(6) Repeat Steps (1) and (2) with the left bleed air valve switch selected to INSTR & ENVIR OFF
and the right bleed air valve switch selected to OPEN.
(7) Repeat Steps (1) and (2) with the right bleed air valve switch selected to INSTR & ENVIR OFF
and the left bleed air valve switch selected to OPEN.
1. General
A. Engine Air Inlet Lip Anti-Ice
The lip around each engine air inlet is heated by hot exhaust gases to prevent the formation of ice
during inclement weather. A scoop in the engine LH exhaust stack deflects the hot exhaust gases
and is ducted into the hollow lip tube that encircles the engine air inlet. The gases are exhausted out
of the opposite exhaust stack. No shutoff or temperature indicator is necessary for this system (Ref.
Figure 1).
B. Inertial Separation Anti-Icer System
An inertial separation anti-icer system is built into each engine air inlet to prevent moisture particles
from entering the engine inlet plenum during freezing conditions. When icing conditions are
encountered, moveable vanes are repositioned in the inlet airstream to induce an abrupt turn in the
airflow before entering the engine plenum. The heavy, ice laden air is then discharged overboard
through a bypass duct in the lower cowling at the aft end of the air duct.
The ice vanes are extended or retracted simultaneously through a linkage system connected to an
electric actuator. The electric actuator for each engine consists of a primary and backup motor with
a single actuator rod assembly within a single housing. The system is normally driven by the primary
motor. In the event the primary motor malfunctions, the backup motor will provide the power necessary
to operate the system through the standby switch for the actuators.
CAUTION: If the actuator primary motor should malfunction, the cause of the
malfunction must be determined and corrected before the next flight.
The primary actuator motors are energized through switches placarded ENG ANTI-ICE - LEFT -
RIGHT - ON - OFF. The actuator switches are located on the lower left subpanel, to the left of the
pilot's control column. The standby system may be activated through a second set of switches,
located just below the primary ENG ANTI-ICE switches. The standby system switches are placarded
ACTUATORS - STANDBY - MAIN.
When the ENG ANTI-ICE switches are set to OFF, the ice vane is retracted out of the airstream and
the bypass door is fully extended. When the ENG ANTI-ICE switches are set to ON, 28 vdc from
the annunciator legend pc board is routed through a sense switch to a time delay circuit. Power is
supplied to the time delay circuit until the inertial ice vane is fully extended. If full extension is not
achieved in 30 to 40 seconds, the L ENG ICE FAIL or R ENG ICE FAIL (yellow) lights will illuminate
in the caution/advisory annunciator panel. However, if the inertial ice vanes travel to full extension,
the L ENG ANTI-ICE or R ENG ANTI-ICE (green) lights on the caution/advisory annunciator panel
will illuminate. If full extension is not achieved, the ACTUATORS switch can be set to STANDBY to
operate the standby motor on the actuator. The inertial vanes and ice bypass doors are either fully
extended of fully retracted. There are no intermediate positions. In the fully retracted position, no
annunciator lights are illuminated.

A. Adjustment
1. General
A. Description
(1) The propeller electric deicer system includes an electrically heated boot for each propeller blade,
slip rings, brush assemblies, power relays, timer, manual and auto switches, and a prop amp
indicator (ammeter). When the switch is turned on, the ammeter registers the amount of current
passing through the system. On UE-1 through UE-326 without Kit 129-9024-1, -3 installed,
the ammeter reading will be 32 to 38 amperes. On UE-327 and After and airplanes with Kit
129-9024-1, -3 installed, the ammeter reading will be 26 to 32 amperes. Oil pressure switches
which disable the auto prop deice when the engines are not running are installed on UE-262 and
After and airplanes with Kit 129-3006-1. The current flows through the prop deice relays to the
brush assemblies which contact the slip rings, where it is distributed to the individual propeller
deicer boots. Heat from the boots reduces the grip of the ice, which is then removed by the
centrifugal effect of the propeller rotation and the blast of the air stream (Ref Figure 1 and Figure
2).
(2) Two control switches are located on the LH subpanel, just to the right of the pilot's control column
and are placarded PROP-AUTO-MANUAL. When the AUTO switch is activated, power to the
deice boots is cycled in 90-second phases. The first 90-second phase heats all the deicer boots
on one propeller. The second phase heats all the deicer boots on the opposite propeller. The
deicer timer completes one full cycle every three minutes.
(3) A manual propeller deicer system is provided as a backup to the automatic system. When the
MANUAL switch is activated, power is supplied to the entire deice surface of both props. The
manual override switch is of the momentary type, and must be held in place until the ice has
been dislodged from the propeller surface. The load-meters will indicate approximately a 0.05
increase of load when the manual propeller deicer system is in operation.

PROPELLERS - TROUBLESHOOTING
1. General
The circuit breakers and prop amp indicator (ammeter) can be used to indicate the general nature of
many electrical problems. For example, a circuit breaker that is unable to maintain a power on condition
indicates a short circuit or a bad circuit breaker. A low reading on the ammeter indicates a high resistance
problem in the system. Consequently, it is recommended that the behavior of these items be noted prior
to initiating the specific troubleshooting procedures.
The components of the prop deice ammeter circuit consist basically of an ammeter, shunts and wiring.
Each shunt (L or R) develops a millivolt signal across it dependent upon the amount of current flow going
to the prop deice boots. The millivolt signal is seen at the ammeter (indicator) where it reads out in amps.
Troubleshooting of the ammeter (indication) system can therefore be accomplished by knowing what the
millivolt signals are across the shunt at different currents and what the signals will cause the ammeter
to read. The following shows the conversion of amps to millivolts:
10 amps 12.5 mv (or 0.8 X mv amps)
20 amps 25.0 mv
30 amps 37.5 mv
40 amps 50.0 mv
Using the above information, the actual millivolt signals across the shunt can be compared to the
indication on the ammeter. If a difference exists, a possible wiring problem is indicated. If the converted
millivolt signal at the ammeter terminals does not correspond to the ammeter reading, the ammeter is out
of calibration. There is also a slight possibility of shunt error. If the current is measured going through
the circuit with a separate ammeter, and the signals from the shunt do not match the conversion chart
above, the shunt may be faulty.
In order to maximize the effectiveness of the troubleshooting Table, all of the "problem" entries should be
read to locate the problem which most closely matches the system deficiency.
NOTE: Refer to the 1900D Airliner Wiring Diagram Manual, Chapter 30, for correct wiring information
when performing the following checks.
CAUTION: Prolonged operation of the deice boots when the propellers are static may
result in severe damage to both the deice boots and the propeller slip rings.
Do not operate the prop deice for more than one cycle in AUTO or 90 seconds
in MANUAL when the propellers are static.
Table 101. PROPELLER DEICER SYSTEM
CAUTION: Any operation of the deice boots when the propellers are static may
result in severe damage to both the deice boots and the propeller slip
rings. Do not operate the prop deice for more than one cycle in AUTO
or 90 seconds in MANUAL when the propellers are static.
(1) Connect a voltmeter accurate to 0.1 mv to the output terminals of the L or R prop ammeter shunt.
(2) Set the prop deice to MANUAL and measure the voltage output of the ammeter shunt.
(3) Multiply the millivolt reading by 0.8: this product is what the ammeter should be indicating.
(4) While lightly tapping the face of the ammeter, adjust the calibrating screw until the ammeter is
indicating the correct value.
(5) Repeat the above Steps for the opposite side.
NOTE: During measurement only 1/16 inch of brush should protrude from the brush module, this
being the normal protrusion when the brush is installed on the airplane.
CAUTION: When replacing propeller deice brushes, all attaching hardware must be
torqued to no more than 18 inch-pounds in order to avoid damaging the
brush blocks.
Brush wear is determined by inserting a pin into a hole in the back of the brush module. The brush
module must be replaced when the dimension is 1-25/64 inches for brushes without rods or 23/64
inch for brushes with rods (Ref. Figure 201). To replace the brushes, proceed as follows:
(1) Disconnect the wire harness terminals at the terminal screws of the modular units that make up
the brush block assembly.
(2) Remove the screws, nuts, and washers securing the modular brush assembly to its mounting
bracket.
(3) Remove the assembly retaining screws and separate the modules and spacers.
(4) Replace each module with another of the same part number. The part number is etched into the
surface of the plastic housing.
(5) Stack the modules and spacers (Ref. Figure 203).
(6) Install the assembly screws so that the screw head fits in the recess in the spacer, place the flat
washer between the star washer and modular housing and install the retaining nut. Make sure
the assembly is square before tightening the assembly screws in place.
(7) Place the modular brush assembly on the mounting bracket and insert the mounting screws
through both the block and bracket. One washer fits under the head of the screw and one under
the retaining nut.
(8) Before installing the retainer nuts, make sure that the brushes are aligned with the slip rings
such that the entire brush face contacts the copper rings. If the brushes do not align with the
slip rings throughout the entire 360° of slip ring rotation, install shims (P/N 1E1157) between the
brush module spacer and the mounting bracket until the brushes are properly aligned with the
approximate center of the copper ring (Ref. Figure 203).
(9) Install the retaining washers and nuts making certain that 1/16 ± 1/32 inch is maintained between
the brush modules and the slip ring surface. The brushes are to be parallel with the slip ring (Ref.
Figure 202).
(10) Connect the terminals of the airplane system wire harness to the same designated terminals of
the modular brush assembly.
B. Replacement (UE-100, UE-103 and After)
The base assembly utilizes two threaded inserts in the side for mounting of the brush block assembly
to the airframe mounting bracket (Ref. Figure 205). A lid/MOV assembly is attached to the top of the
base assembly with four screws threaded into inserts. A vibration pad is located at the bottom of the
center pocket on the base to cushion the lid/MOV assembly. Four slots accommodate the brushes
and springs. A brush is considered worn out when 0.406 inch or less of brush material remains.
NOTE: During measurement, only 1/16 inch of brush should protrude from the brush module, this
being the normal protrusion when the brush is installed on the airplane.
(1) Insert a 1/16 inch diameter rod through the hole in the lid/MOV assembly (Ref. Figure 204).
(2) Mark and measure the amount of rod inserted into the brush block assembly. If the amount
of inserted rod length measured is equal to or greater than 1.156 inches, the brushes must be
replaced.
NOTE: If brush length is being checked while the brush block assembly is removed from
the airplane, depress the brushes completely into the base assembly and hold.
If the amount of inserted rod length measured is equal to or greater than 1.093
inches, the brushes must be replaced.
NOTE: Brushes must move in and out of the base assembly freely. Brush shunt wires
must loop smoothly out of slot in lid/MOV assembly as brush is depressed.

Figure 201 (Sheet 1)
Modular Brush Block Assembly Installation(UE-1 thru UE-99, UE-101 and UE-102)
Figure 202 (Sheet 1)
(2) Install the brush block assembly to the mount bracket with 2 114-960021-7 spacers and check
the brush alignment with the slip ring.
(3) Secure the brush block assembly to the mount bracket using 2 screws, lock washers, and
washers.
(4) Place the first "B" labeled ring terminal over the adjacent stud.
(5) Place the second "B" labeled ring terminal over the same stud.
(6) Place a lock washer and hex nut on the stud of the MOV assembly over the "B" wires and hand-
tighten.
(7) Repeat Steps (5) and (6) for the "C" ring terminals.
CAUTION: The "B" and "C" brush shunt wires must not be crossed.
(8) Place the first "B" labeled ring terminal over the adjacent stud.
(9) Place the second "B" labeled ring terminal over the same stud.
(10) Place lock washer and hex nut on the stud of the MOV assembly over the "B" wires and tighten.
(11) Repeat Steps (8), (9), and (10) for the "C" ring terminals.
(12) Reinstall the Lower Forward Cowl if removed (Ref 71-10-00).
(13) Reinstall the Upper Forward Cowl (Ref 71-10-00).
(14) Run the engine(s) and check that the PROP DEICE ammeter reading is in the green area.
5. Checks/Tests
A. Timer Check
Experience in the field has indicated that often the timer is considered defective when the source of
the trouble lies elsewhere. For this reason, the following test should be performed before the timer is
removed as defective:
(1) With the wiring harness disconnected at the timer and the prop deice switch in the AUTO position,
check the voltage from pin B of the harness plug to ground. If no voltage is present, the timer is
NOT at fault; however if system voltage is present at pin B, check the circuit from harness plug
pin G to ground with an ohmmeter. If no circuit is indicated, the fault is in the ground lead rather
than the timer. If ground connection is open, the timer Step switch will not change position.
(2) After the ground and power circuits have been checked, connect a jumper wire between pin B of
the timer receptacle and terminal B of the connector plug and from pin G of the timer receptacle
to ground. With the prop deice switch set to AUTO, check the voltage to ground from pin B of the
timer. The voltmeter should indicate approximately 24 volts, when the airplane battery supply is
being used. Check pins D and F to the ground. Each pin should read 24 volts.
The timer sequence is as follows:
Timing Sequence Time Prop Heated
Pin D 90 sec. Right eng prop
Pin F 90 sec. Left eng prop
NOTE: When operating on battery voltage, the on-time of each deicer boot may slightly
exceed sequence times noted above. The timer output will alternate between pins
D and F as shown.
(3) After a voltage reading of 24 volts DC is obtained, hold the voltmeter probe on the pin until the
voltage drops to zero before moving the probe on to the next pin in the sequence noted above.
After the correctness of the cycling sequence has been established, set the prop deice switch
OFF at the beginning of one of the "on-time" periods, noting the letter of the pin (D or F) at which
the voltage supply is present. Within 5 seconds, set the prop deice switch to AUTO and verify
that the voltage output switches to the opposite pin.
B. Heat Test
CAUTION: Prolonged operation of the deice boots when the propellers are static
may result in severe damage to both the deice boots and the propeller
slip rings. Do not operate the prop deice for more than one cycle in
AUTO or 90 seconds in MANUAL when the propellers are static.
Before this test can be performed, the jumper wire installed for the timer test must be removed so that
the connector plug can be replaced in the timer receptacle. While this test is being performed, the
engine on the opposite side must be running or the prop deice system on that side must be disabled.
Two persons are required to perform this test: one in the flight compartment to momentarily set the
prop deice switch to MANUAL while the person outside feels the deicer boots to see if they are heating
properly.
The person inspecting the propeller deice boots must check to be certain all of the boots on the
propeller being tested are heating. The presence of local hot spots indicates surface damage to the
deicer heaters, which should be repaired before more serious damage develops. If it is determined
that the propeller boots on that side of the airplane are heating properly, repeat the test for the opposite
propeller deice boots.
C. Deicer Resistance Check (UE-1 thru UE-327 without Kit 129-9024-1, -3)
To check for incorrect resistance or the presence of a short or open circuit at the brush-to-slip ring
contact, disconnect the harness at the relay and check the resistance from each deicer circuit lead to
ground with a low range ohmmeter. If the resultant readings are not 0.65 to 0.75 ohms, disconnect
the deicer lead straps to measure heater resistance individually. Individual boot resistance should
measure a 2.6 to 3.0 ohms. If the readings in the first check are not within the accepted limits but
those in the second check are, the trouble is probably in the brush-to-slip ring area. If the readings in
the second check are also off, the deicer concerned is damaged and must be replaced.
D. Deicer Resistance Check (UE-327 and After and Airplanes with Kit 129-9024-1, -3)
To check for incorrect resistance or the presence of a short or open circuit at the brush-to-slip ring
contact, disconnect the harness at the relay and check the resistance from each deicer circuit lead
to ground with a low range ohmmeter. If the resultant readings are not 0.8 to 0.9 ohms, disconnect
the deicer lead straps to measure heater resistance individually. Individual boot resistance should
measure a 3.2 to 3.6 ohms. If the readings in the first check are not within the accepted limits but
those in the second check are, the trouble is probably in the brush-to-slip ring area. If the readings in
the second check are also off, the deicer concerned is damaged and must be replaced.
E. Brush Block Resistance Check
To check for an open circuit or high resistance in the brush block, measure the resistance from the
face of the brush to its terminal studs or receptacle pin with a low range ohmmeter. If this resistance
measures over 0.013 ohms, locate and repair the cause of the excessive resistance. If the resistance
measured is infinite, locate the correct open circuit or replace the brush. Check the resistance between
the three terminal studs or receptacle pins. This resistance should not be less than 0.5 megohms.
6. Slip Ring
A. Alignment
The slip rings are properly aligned when they run in a true plane relative to the brush block. This
condition may be checked by attaching a dial indicator gage to the engine reduction gear housing in
such a manner that a reading of the slip ring wobble may be obtained. To avoid error in the readings,
rotate the slip rings slowly by pushing in on the propeller to take the play out of the thrust bearings. If
the total run-out over 360° of rotation exceeds 0.008 inch, the slip rings should be aligned as follows:
(1) Approximately a 0.012 inch adjustment may be made to correct the slip ring wobble by varying
the torque on the attachment bolts. Using the dial indicator to follow the points of maximum
deviation, adjust the slip ring assembly to the prescribed run-out limits by varying the torque of
the mounting bolts as required, within a range of 40 to 75 inch-pounds.
(2) If more than 0.012 inch of adjustment is required for alignment, the slip ring assembly may be
shimmed to within the prescribed limits for true running by the addition of AN960C416L washers
on the mounting bolts between the slip ring assembly and the spinner bulkhead. Install a flat
steel washer on each side of the star washer used between the slip ring and spinner bulkhead
to protect the bulkhead against damage. The use of aluminum washers or a star washer next
to the spinner bulkhead may cause it to crack.
NOTE: The above adjustments may affect the clearance between the brush block and slip
rings; consequently, after slip ring alignment, a check should be made to ascertain
that a distance of 1/32 to 3/32-inch is maintained between the brush block and
slip ring surface.
B. Repair
Structurally sound slip rings with roughened or damaged surfaces can be restored to serviceability by
machining.
(1) Mount the slip ring assembly concentrically in the lathe with not more than 0.002 inch wobble or
run out over 360° of rotation.
(2) Take a light cut for a smooth finish and cut no deeper than is required to remove surface damage.
The contact surfaces of the slip rings must be parallel within 0.005 inch and flat within 0.005 inch
overall (not exceeding 0.002 inch from the flat over a 4-inch arc).
(3) If necessary, undercut the insulation between slip rings to a depth of 0.020 to 0.030 inch below
the contact surface of the slip rings. The width of the slip ring MUST NOT be reduced by more
than 0.005 inch in this operation. The contact surface of the slip rings must have a finish of 29
to 35 micro inches.
(4) Burr the edges, reinstall and align the slip rings. The thickness of the slip ring at any point must
not be less than 0.187 inch.
CAUTION: Prolonged operation of the deice boots when the propellers are static
may result in severe damage to both the deice boots and the propeller
slip rings. Do not operate the prop deice for more than one cycle in
AUTO or 90 seconds in MANUAL when the propellers are static.
(1) Check for fuel or oil leakage onto the brush modules and slip rings. This will cause the brushes
to wear excessively and to cut into the slip rings. Stop all leaks. Clean and repair the brush
modules and slip rings.
(2) Lock the brakes and operate the engines at near takeoff power. Turn the deicer system switch
to AUTO and observe the ammeter for at least 1 cycle. If the ammeter needle does not rest
within the shaded band, refer to the troubleshooting Table for the probable sources of trouble.
(3) Perform the TIMER CHECK and HEAT TEST procedures outlined in this chapter.
(4) Remove the spinner dome and open all access doors pertaining to the wiring and components
of the deicer system. Place one person in the flight compartment to momentarily set the prop
deice switch to MANUAL and observe the ammeter. Place a second person outside to flex all
accessible wiring, particularly the lead straps, leads from the slip ring assembly, and the firewall
electrical connectors and their wiring. Any movement of the ammeter indicates a short or open
circuit that must be located and corrected.
(5) 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.
(6) Check for damaged brush rods or springs and for worn or damaged brushes.
(7) Check for radio noise or radio compass interference by operating the engines at near takeoff
power with the radio gear turned on. If, under these conditions, noise or interference occurs
when the deicer switch is in AUTO or MANUAL and disappears when the switch is OFF, refer to
the troubleshooting Table to isolate the probable source of trouble.
(8) Check all clamps, clips, mountings, and electrical connectors for tightness and electrical
soundness. Check also for loose, broken, or missing safety wire.
(9) 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 and 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.
(10) 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 "low pitch" to "feathering" while
checking that the deicer lead straps do not come under tension.
(11) 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 (15, Table
2, 30-00-00).
(12) If uneven wear or wobble is detected, check the alignment of the slip rings with a dial indicator.
While checking the alignment, push in on the propeller to eliminate the thrust bearing end play.
If the runout over 360° of rotation is over 0.008 inch or exceeds 0.002 inch in any 4-inch arc,
refer to the paragraph on slip ring alignment.
(13) 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.
(14) Check to see that each brush rides fully on its slip ring over 360° of rotation. If the brush is
not properly aligned, add shims under the brush block or elongate the holes in the mounting
brackets 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° of rotation, the slip ring assembly is eccentrically
mounted and the spinner bulkhead must be replaced.
(15) Check for proper spacing between the brush block and slip rings. 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 mounting bracket until the brush block is properly located (Ref. Figure 202).
(16) Place one person in the flight compartment to momentarily set the prop deice switch to MANUAL
and observe the ammeter. Place a second person outside to visually inspect and physically flex
the wiring from the brush blocks to each component of the deicer system and to the airplane
power supply. Jumps of the ammeter needle indicate 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. Refer to the appropriate Wiring Diagram Manual.
CAUTION: Do not reapply used tape. The tape cannot be removed and
transferred to another deicer.
(2) Clean the surface of the deicer thoroughly with solvent (1 or 13, Table 2, 30-00-00), using a
clean, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not allow the cleaning solvent to come in contact with the deicer
edge seal.
(3) Cut a strip of the erosion tape (28, Table 2, 30-00-00) to the same length as the deicer. Dry fit
the tape to the deicer to confirm the proper length. The tape must not overlap the ends of the
deicer, but must be within 1/4 inch of each end. Round the corners of the tape to a minimum
radius of 1/2 inch to eliminate sharp corners.
(4) Measure and mark a centerline on the breeze side of the tape strip with chalk or a ballpoint pen
to assist in positioning the tape during installation.
(5) Peel back two inches of backing from the tape and, starting at the outboard end of the deicer,
position the tape flush with the deicer end, matching the centerline of the tape with the leading
edge contour. Press the tape centerline against the leading edge.
(6) Continue as in Step (5) above, working in two- to three-inch lengths at a time: peel off the tape
backing and, with tape under a slight tension, press the tape centerline onto the leading edge
until the tape is applied along the entire length of the deicer, then roll the centerline firmly with
the rubber roller. The tape should be flush within 1/4 inch of the inboard end of the deicer. No
overlap at the end is permitted.
(7) Working on the right or left side of the centerline, roll down the tape beginning at the centerline
and moving toward the trailing edge, rolling parallel to the leading edge. Ensure there are no
wrinkles, bubbles or air pockets. The tape should be smoothly and uniformly applied.
(8) Repeat Step (7) above on the remaining side of the tape centerline.
(9) Clean off the centerline marking with solvent (1 or 13, Table 2, 30-00-00), being careful not to
contact the tape or deicer edges with cleaning solvent.

MODEL 1900D AIRLINER
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Protection from crash and fire is provided by the Crash Survivable Storage Unit. This unit is the
assembly that contains the memory. It has inner and outer steel casings, and an exterior steel
cover. The assembly is nearly cubical in shape (approximately 7" x 7" x 4.5"), weighs approximately
14 pounds, and is electrically connected within the FDR by a 16-pin connector. It is protected
from underwater pressure down to 20,000 feet, crushing pressure up to 5,000 pounds, and impact
pressure up to 3,400 g forces. Fire protection is provided by an isothermal shield which is capable of
withstanding 1100° for 30 minutes, and thermal flux of 50,000 BTU/sq. ft./hr.
The FDR has an underwater acoustic beacon located on its front panel. The beacon is mounted on the
front of the FDR for ease of reading the battery replacement date and quick removal and replacement
of the beacon. The beacon battery is not replaceable by field personnel.
The system incorporates a remotely mounted accelerometer. The accelerometer is a self-contained,
sealed unit mounted at or near the airplane's center of gravity. It indicates vertical, longitudinal, and
(if a 3-axis accelerometer is installed) lateral acceleration. There is also an impact switch located
on the avionics shelf on the outboard side of the FDR. It interrupts FDR power upon exposure to a
predetermined g-force. To restart the FDR after switch activation, a reset button is provided on the
housing of the switch.
The pitch control position potentiometer is located above an access panel on the underside of
the fuselage just aft of the nose wheel well. It provides an analog voltage input to the FDR which
corresponds to the position of the elevator controls.
The flap position switches are located under an access panel on the top of the right wing, near the
inboard end of the inboard flap. They provide inputs to the FDR that represent the position of the
flaps.
Beta switches are located in the left side of the pedestal just forward of the power lever bellcranks.
These switches are activated when the power levers are moved into reverse thrust to provide reverse
thrust signals to the FDR. There are further details regarding the description and operation of the
Flight Data Recorder, and procedures to test the FDR independent of the airplane systems. Refer to
Chapter 31 in the MODEL 1900 AIRLINER SERIES COMPONENT MAINTENANCE MANUAL.
B. Trip and Date Encoder (If Installed)
A pedestal-mounted trip and date encoder allows input of a trip number and date to the FDR. The
encoder panel incorporates six thumb wheel switches which may used to select a four-digit trip number
and a two-digit date. The encoder panel also incorporates two push-button switches, REPEAT and
EVENT. The REPEAT button initiates a 15-minute coding cycle to the recorder. A light on the encoder
front panel illuminates for the duration of the coding cycle. The EVENT button can be used to mark
the recorded data at the user's discretion. However, initiation of the event marker will overwrite the
proper recording of Trip and Date information if it is used DURING a 15-minute coding cycle started
with the repeat button.

INSPECTOR____________________________________
1. General
A. Annunicator System
(1) The annunciator system consists of a warning annunciator panel (with red readout) centrally
located in the glareshield, and a caution/advisory/status annunciator panel (caution - yellow,
advisory - green and white - status) located on the center subpanel. Two red MASTER
WARNING flashers located in the glareshield (one in front of the pilot and one in front of the
copilot) are a part of the system as are two yellow MASTER CAUTION flashers (located just
inboard of the MASTER WARNING flashers), and a PUSH-TO-TEST switch located on the
copilot's side of the warning annunciator panel.
(2) The annunciators are of the word-readout type. Whenever a fault condition covered by the
annunciator system occurs, a signal is generated and the appropriate annunciator is illuminated.
(3) If the fault requires the immediate attention and reaction of the pilot, the appropriate red warning
annunciator in the warning annunciator panel illuminates and both MASTER WARNING
flashers begin flashing. Any illuminated annunciator in the warning annunciator panel will
remain illuminated until the fault is corrected. However, the MASTER WARNING flashers can
be extinguished by depressing the face of either MASTER WARNING flasher, even if the fault
is not corrected. In such a case, the MASTER WARNING flashers will again be activated if
an additional warning annunciator illuminates. When a warning fault is corrected, the affected
warning annunciator will extinguish, but the MASTER WARNING flashers will continue flashing
until one of them is depressed.
(4) Whenever a covered fault occurs that requires the pilot's attention but not his immediate reaction,
the appropriate yellow caution annunciator in the caution/advisory panel illuminates, and both
MASTER CAUTION flashers begin flashing. The flashing MASTER CAUTION lights can be
extinguished by pressing the face of either of the flashing lights. Subsequently, when any caution
annunciator illuminates, the MASTER CAUTION flashers will be activated again. An illuminated
caution annunciator on the caution/advisory annunciator panel will remain illuminated until the
fault condition is corrected, at which time it will extinguish. The MASTER CAUTION flashers will
continue flashing until one of them is depressed.
(5) The caution/advisory/status annunciator panel also contains the green and white status advisory
annunciators. There are no master flashers associated with these annunciators. An advisory
annunciator can be extinguished only by changing the condition indicated by the annunciator.
(6) The warning annunciators, caution annunciators, advisory annunciators, white status
annunciators, and yellow MASTER CAUTION flashers feature a bright and a dimming mode
of illumination intensity. The dimming mode will be selected automatically whenever all the
following conditions are met: A generator is on line, the OVERHEAD FLOOD LIGHTS switch is
in the OFF position, the PILOT FLIGHT LIGHTS switch is in the ON position, and the ambient
light level in the cockpit (as sensed by a photoelectric cell located in the overhead light control
panel) is below a preset value. Unless all these conditions are met, the bright mode will be
selected automatically. The MASTER WARNING flashers do not have a dimming mode.
(7) The ANN PWR SOURCE annunciator located in the caution/advisory panel, indicates a partial
loss of annunciator light power to the following annunciator lights: L and R FUEL FEED, L
and R FW VALVE, L and R BK DI OVHT, L and R ENG ICE FAIL, HYDR FLUID LOW, BAT

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. Landing Gear
CAUTION: Jacking of an airplane for the purpose of landing gear operation, inspection,
servicing or maintenance, should be accomplished within an enclosed
building or hangar. In the interest of safety, should it become necessary
to jack the airplane in the open, wind velocity in any direction and terrain
variations, must be compensated for prior to jacking the airplane.
A. The Model 1900D Airliner Series airplanes are equipped with a retractable tricycle landing gear
system. The nose gear and main gear assemblies incorporate air-oil type shock struts that are filled
with both compressed air and hydraulic fluid. The nose gear strut is equipped with a single wheel and
tire, while each main gear strut is equipped with two wheels and tires. The landing gear is retracted
and extended by the action of the individual actuators and drag brace assemblies connected to
each landing gear. The nose gear is attached to two longitudinal fuselage members in the fuselage
nose and pivots aft into the wheel well when retracted. The main landing gears are attached to the
two main structural ribs of the nacelles and pivot forward into the wheel wells when retracted. The
landing gear doors consist of one nose gear door and two sets of main gear doors. The nose gear
door is hinged at the front and is connected to the nose gear brace with two push-pull links. When the
landing gear is retracted, the door is pulled closed and when extended, the door is pushed open. The
main gear doors are hinged at the sides and are spring-loaded to the open position. As the landing
gear is retracted, two rollers on each main gear engage the door actuating cams and pull the doors
closed. When the landing gear doors are closed, they cover the top braces of each landing gear.
B. The nose and main landing gear assemblies are extended and retracted by a hydraulic system
consisting primarily of an actuator located in each wheel well, a hydraulic power pack located in the
LH wing, and hydraulic plumbing. The hydraulic plumbing provides for normal extend, normal retract
and emergency extend modes of operation. A landing gear control switch, placarded UP and DN, is
located on the pilot's inboard subpanel. When the control handle is moved to the UP position, power
is supplied to the pump motor and to the gear-up solenoid to allow system fluid under pressure to
flow to the retract side of the system. The landing gear is held in the retracted position by positive
hydraulic pressure from the pump. When the control handle is placed in the DN position, power is
supplied to the pump motor and to the gear-down solenoid to allow system fluid under pressure to
flow to the extend side of the system. When the actuator pistons are positioned to fully extend the
landing gear, an internal mechanical lock in each actuator will lock the actuator pistons to hold the
landing gear in the down position. Manual landing gear extension is provided through a manually
powered hydraulic system. A hand pump, located on the floor between the pilot's seat and the
pedestal, is used when emergency extension of the gear is required. To extend the landing gear
with this system, the pump handle is removed from its securing clip and pumped up and down. As
the handle is pumped, hydraulic fluid is drawn from the power pack into the pump and exited under
pressure. Fluid under pressure from the pump is routed to each landing gear actuator. A service
valve plumbed in the hydraulic system is used in conjunction with the hand pump to raise the landing
gear for maintenance purposes.
C. Visual indication of the landing gear position is provided by two red in-transit lights located in the
landing gear control switch handle and a green gear-down indicator light assembly on the subpanel.
The in-transit lights are wired through the automatic light dimming circuit. Illumination of the in-transit
lights indicates when the landing gear is in-transit; gear up is indicated when they go out. Illumination
of the gear-down lights indicates when each landing gear is down and locked. Up-and-down-position
switches and actuator downlock switches are located in each wheel well to complete the electrical
circuits necessary to illuminate the gear-down and in-transit lights.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
D. Nose gear steering is accomplished by a mechanical linkage system extending from the rudder
pedals to a bell-crank mounted in the nose gear wheel well above the nose gear assembly. A
spring mechanism in the steering linkage permits tow bar or braked steering angles greater than
that provided by the rudder pedal system. An electrical actuator and a cam are incorporated in the
steering linkage to remove the steering action from the rudder pedals while the airplane is in flight.
An optional power steering system incorporates a hydraulically powered rotary actuator mounted on
top of the nose gear assembly. Hydraulic power for the actuator is provided by a pump located on
the LH side of the nose gear wheel well. The power steering system uses the landing gear power
pack as its fluid supply. Command potentiometers controlled by the pilot's rudder pedals provide the
steering input signals for the electrical portion of the steering system. A servo valve in the actuator
receives signals from the potentiometers to adjust the pressure inside the actuators to move the
nose wheel left or right.
E. The airplane is equipped with four hydraulically operated brake assemblies. Each main landing gear
incorporates two multidisc, metallic-lined brake assemblies bolted together, one on each side of the
strut. Each brake assembly contains two rotating discs, which are keyed to rotate with the wheel, a
stationary disc, and a pressure plate and backplate which are attached to the brake housing. Braking
action occurs when hydraulic pressure is applied to the pistons in the brake housing, forcing the
disc stack together and creating friction between the rotating discs and the stationary components
of the brake assembly. The hydraulic pressure to the brake assemblies is generated by the pilot's
or copilot's master cylinders. An optional antiskid brake system incorporates a power brake valve,
a pump and motor, a skid control unit, and a wheel speed transducer in each main gear axle. The
electric motor-driven pump provides the hydraulic power for the system. When the antiskid system
is off, the pressure at the brake assemblies is the same as the master cylinder pressure. When the
system is in the antiskid mode, the master cylinder pressure is isolated from the brake assemblies and
a braking pressure balanced to the master cylinder pressure is generated by the power brake valve.
The objective of the antiskid function is to give optimum braking effectiveness. This is accomplished
as the wheel speed transducers monitor the wheel RPM and relay the information to the skid control
unit. When a skid condition is imminent, the appropriate signal is sent to the power brake valve to
reduce the pressure to all four brake assemblies. As the wheel RPM begins to increase, the power
brake valve increases the braking pressure; if the wheel transducers indicate that the wheels are
still in a skid condition, the brake pressure will be decreased again. This cycle will continue until the
tendency to skid has ended.
F. Brake deicing is provided by an optional brake deice system which utilizes engine bleed air as the
deicing agent. The brake deice system is composed of a combination of tubes and hoses plumbed
from the engine bleed air duct forward of each firewall to a distributor manifold installed on each main
gear shock strut. A shutoff valve in each main gear wheel well controls the flow of heated air to each
distributor manifold. An overtemp warning line is routed in close proximity to the bleed air lines in
each wheel well to notify the operator in the event of overheating of the deice system.
WARNING: Any time the landing gear has been only partially retracted during
maintenance, cycle the gear with the power pack through at least
one complete cycle before removing the airplane from the jacks.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
WARNING: Any time the landing gear has been only partially retracted during
maintenance, cycle the gear with the power pack through at least
one complete cycle before removing the airplane from the jacks.
WARNING: For safety reasons, pull the 2-ampere control circuit breaker on the
pilot's inboard subpanel and place a note on the circuit breaker
panel that LANDING GEAR MAINTENANCE IS IN PROCESS during
maintenance on the landing gear.
WARNING: The landing gear control handle must never be moved from the
down-and-locked position while the airplane is on the ground.
WARNING: All air pressure must be released before removing the valve
core from the valve assembly.
(6) Remove the valve core from the valve stem at the top of the strut.
(7) Place one end of a clean 1/4 inch I.D. hose over the valve stem. Submerge the opposite open
end of the hose in a container full of clean hydraulic fluid (2, Table 2, 32-00-00).
(8) Slowly extend the strut to draw the hydraulic fluid into the strut.
(9) When the strut is fully extended, slowly compress the strut to expel excess hydraulic fluid and
trapped air.
(10) Repeat the extension and compression cycle of the strut until all air has been expelled.
(11) With all of the air expelled and the strut fully compressed, remove the hose from over the valve
stem.
(12) Install a new valve core in the valve stem.
WARNING: Before removing the airplane from the jacks, make sure that
the landing gear emergency extend hand pump handle is in
the stowed position, the plunger on the service valve is pushed
down with the hinged retainer in place, the landing gear control
handle is in the down position, the landing gear is down and
locked and the accumulator is charged to 800 psi.
(13) Perform the LOWERING THE AIRPLANE AFTER THREE-POINT JACKING procedures (Ref.
Chapter 7-10-00).
CAUTION: Never tow or taxi an airplane with a flat strut. Even brief towing or
taxiing an airplane with a deflated strut will damage the strut.
(14) With the airplane on the ground and empty, except for full fuel and oil, inflate the main gear strut
by injecting dry filtered air into the valve stem until the piston is extended 5.12 to 5.62 inches.
(15) Perform the BATTERY CONNECTION procedures (Ref. Chapter 24-31-00).
(16) Perform the APPLYING GROUND POWER procedures (Ref. Chapter 24-40-00).
B. Servicing - Inflation
CAUTION: Loss of oil will result in struts appearing to need inflation. Low
oil levels will damage the strut and could result in hard landing
damage to the aircraft. If loss of oil is detected or suspected, check
oil level using the MAIN LANDING GEAR SHOCK ABSORBER
SERVICING procedure.
(1) With the airplane on the ground and empty, except for full fuel and oil, measure the extension
of the air piston. If the extension is between 5.12 and 5.62 inches in length, the shock absorber
does not need to be inflated. If the extension is less than 5.12 inches, perform Step (2).

CAUTION: Jacking of an airplane for the purpose of landing gear operation, inspection,
servicing or maintenance, should be accomplished within an enclosed
building or hanger. In the interest of safety, should it become necessary
to jack the airplane in the open, wind velocity in any direction and terrain
variations, must be compensated for prior to jacking the airplane.
A. The nose and main landing gear assemblies are extended and retracted by a hydraulic power pack,
located inboard of the LH nacelle and forward of the main spar (Ref. Figures 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5). The
hydraulic power pack consists primarily of a 28 vdc motor, pump, two-section reservoir, filter, four-way
selector valve, up-and-down-selector solenoids, gear-up pressure switch and low fluid level sensor.
To prevent cavitation of the pump, engine bleed air, regulated 18 to 20 psi, is plumbed into the power
pack reservoir and the system fill can. A capped tee, adjacent to the manual bleed valve, is plumbed
into the bleed air line as a connection point from a source of pressurized air when the engines are
not operating. Associated plumbing for a normal extend mode, emergency extend mode, and normal
retract mode is routed from the power pack to each main gear actuator and the nose gear actuator.
The plumbing for the normal extend mode and the emergency extend mode is fitted as separate
plumbing to the shuttle valve in each actuator. The shuttle valves are spring-loaded to a position which
allows hydraulic fluid from the normal extend plumbing to flow into and out of the actuator cylinder.
The retract mode plumbing is fitted to the opposite end of each actuator. The system plumbing is
color coded as follows:
Orange - Regulated Engine Bleed Air
Green - Normal Extend
Blue - Normal Retract
Yellow - Hand Pump Suction
Green/White - Hand Pump Pressure
Light Green - Emergency Extend
B. A landing gear control switch handle, placarded UP and DN, is located on the pilot's inboard subpanel.
A solenoid operated downlock latch prevents the landing gear control handle from being raised while
the airplane is on the ground. The landing gear safety switch releases the latch when the plane leaves
the ground. If necessary, manually override the latch by pressing down on the red button placarded
DN LOCK REL. To prevent accidental gear retraction on the ground, a safety switch on the right main
strut breaks the control circuit whenever the strut is compressed.
CAUTION: Never rely on the safety switch to keep the gear down while taxiing or
on landing or takeoff roll. Always check the position of the landing gear
switch.
C. When the landing gear control handle is moved to the UP position, the gear-up solenoid mounted
on the valve body end of the power pack is energized to actuate the gear selector valve to allow
system fluid under pressure from the pump to flow to the retract side of the system. On the airplanes
equipped with power steering, the nose gear position switch mounted on the nose gear straightener
link will prevent retraction of the landing gear until the nose wheel is centered. The landing gear will
begin to retract when 200 to 400 psi of hydraulic pressure at the retract port of the actuator unlocks the
internal mechanical locking mechanism. The main gear moves forward and the nose gear moves aft
during retraction into their respective wheel wells. As the actuator pistons move to retract the landing

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
gear, the fluid in the actuators exits through the normal extend port of the actuators and is carried back
to the power pack through the normal extend plumbing. When the hydraulic fluid enters the power
pack, the gear selector valve directs the return fluid to the primary reservoir.
D. The landing gear is held in the retracted position by positive hydraulic pressure. When the system
pressure reaches the high pressure limit, the gear-up pressure switch, mounted on the power pack
assembly, will interrupt current to the pump motor. This same pressure switch will activate the pump
motor if the system pressure drops to the low pressure limit. An accumulator, precharged to 800 ± 50
psi, is located in the LH wheel well and is designed to aid in maintaining the system pressure in the
gear-up mode.
E. When the landing gear control handle is moved to the DN position, the gear-down solenoid is
energized to actuate the selector valve to allow the system fluid under pressure from the pump to
flow to the extend side of the system. As the actuator pistons move to extend the landing gear, the
fluid in the actuators exits through the normal retract port of the actuators and is carried back to
the power pack through the normal retract plumbing. Fluid from the pump opens a pressure check
valve in the power pack to allow the return fluid to flow into the primary reservoir. When the actuator
pistons are positioned to fully extend the landing gear, an internal mechanical lock in each actuator
will lock the actuator pistons to hold the gear in the down position. In this position, the internal locking
mechanism in each actuator will actuate the actuator down-position switch to interrupt current to the
pump motor. The motor will continue to run until all three landing gears are down and locked.
F. A yellow HYD FLUID LOW annunciator located in the CAUTION/ADVISORY panel will illuminate in
the event the hydraulic fluid level in the landing gear power pack becomes critically low. When low
fluid level is indicated, the landing gear must not be extended or retracted using the hydraulic power
pack. The landing gear is extended by using the emergency extension hand pump. A sensing unit
mounted on the motor end of the power pack provides the necessary switching circuitry to illuminate
the low fluid light. The optically operated sensing unit has an integrated self-test circuit. The integral
self-test circuit is energized by a switch on the instrument panel and functionally tests the sensing
unit's internal circuitry.
G. Manual landing gear extension is provided through a manually powered hydraulic system (Ref.
Figures 4 and 5). A hand pump, placarded LANDING GEAR ALTERNATE EXTENSION, is located
on the floor between the pilot's seat and the pedestal. The pump is used when emergency extension
of the gear is required. To extend the gear with this system, pull the landing gear control circuit
breaker on the pilot's inboard subpanel and place the landing gear control handle in the DN position.
Remove the pump handle from the securing clip and pump the handle up and down to extend the
gear. As the handle is pumped, hydraulic fluid is drawn from the hand pump suction port of the power
pack into the pump and exited under pressure. Fluid under pressure from the pump is routed to the
power pack hand pump pressure port and to the shuttle valve in each actuator. Fluid pressure at the
shuttle valves will position the valves to allow fluid to flow into the actuator cylinders. As the actuator
pistons move to extend the landing gear, the fluid in the actuators exits through the normal retract
port of the actuators and is carried back to the power pack through the normal retract plumbing. The
fluid routed to the power pack hand pump pressure port from the hand pump unseats the internal
hand pump dump valve to allow the return fluid to flow into the primary reservoir. Continue to pump
the handle up and down until the green GEAR DOWN indicator lights on the pilot's inboard subpanel
illuminate. Ensure that the pump handle is in the fully down position prior to placing the pump handle
in the securing clip. When the emergency extend hand pump handle is stowed, an internal relief
valve is actuated to relieve the hydraulic pressure in the pump.

CAUTION: If the red knob on the service valve is pushed down while the landing
gear is retracted with the electrical power on and the landing gear control
handle in the down position, the landing gear will extend immediately.
I. A fill can, located just inboard of the LH nacelle and forward of the main spar, has a screw-on cap
with a dipstick attached marked FILL WARM - COLD. Prior to removing the fill can lid, the knob on
the manual bleed valve must be depressed to relieve the air pressure in the system. The hydraulic
fluid system capacity is approximately 10 quarts.

WARNING: Any time the landing gear has been only partially retracted during
maintenance, cycle the gear with the power pack through at least
one complete cycle before removing the airplane from the jacks.
WARNING: For safety reasons, pull the 2-ampere control circuit breaker on the
pilot's inboard subpanel and place a note on the circuit breaker
panel that LANDING GEAR MAINTENANCE IS IN PROCESS during
maintenance on the landing gear.
WARNING: The landing gear control handle must never be moved from the
down-and-locked position while the airplane is on the ground.
A service valve in the left hand wing, adjacent to the power pack is provided for use with the emergency
extension hand pump to raise and lower the landing gear while the landing gear is being rigged. The
service valve is normally in a mode to extend the landing gear (red knob pushed down). The service
valve is accessible through a door in the wing skin just inboard of the LH nacelle. The red knob cannot
be pulled up until the hinged retainer covering it is unlatched and moved out of the way. The landing
gear must not be cycled electrically until the landing gear is properly rigged. With the airplane on jacks
and an external power supply connected and adjusted to 28 ± 0.25 volts, the landing gear is retracted
by pulling the red knob on the service valve up and then operating the emergency extension hand
pump. When the red knob is pulled up, the two switches mounted on the service valve are actuated
to open the circuit to the power pack motor and to complete a circuit from the 2-ampere control circuit
breaker to the retract solenoid on the gear selector valve. The same action positions the service valve
to route the hand pump pressure fluid to the normal retract mode plumbing to the actuators. Remove
the pump handle from the securing clip and pump the handle up and down to retract the landing gear.
After the landing gear is retracted, position the emergency extend hand pump handle in the stowed
position and turn off the electrical power. To extend the landing gear push the red knob on the service
valve down and extend the landing gear using the emergency extension hand pump; the electrical
power does not have to be on to extend the landing gear. For safety reasons, pull the 2-ampere
control circuit breaker on the pilot's inboard subpanel.
CAUTION: If the red knob on the service valve is pushed down while the landing
gear is retracted the electrical power is on and the landing gear control
handle is in the down position, the landing gear will extend immediately.
CAUTION: To prevent serious damage to the pump, never operate the power pack
when the engines are not operating without supplying 18 psi of regulated
dry air to pressurize the power pack reservoir in place of the engine bleed
air.
CAUTION: When cycling the landing gear with the power pack, do not exceed three
cycles in the first six minutes of operation with approximately a two
minute cooling period between cycles, then with a five minute cooling
interval between each cycle.
CAUTION: Do not fully cycle the landing gear electrically if the gear is not properly
rigged. Use of the emergency hand pump is recommended for initial
rigging.
(1) Perform the THREE-POINT JACKING (PREFERRED PROCEDURE) procedures (Ref. Chapter
7-10-00). All tires must be clear of the floor.
(2) Perform the REMOVING GROUND POWER procedures (Ref. Chapter 24-40-00) and
disconnect the battery.
(3) Disconnect the door actuation cams from the doors by removing the cotter pins, nuts, washers,
and bolts from the lower attaching links. Secure the doors out of the way with safety wire.
CAUTION: The landing gear must not be cycled with the power pack if low
on fluid or if the landing gear system is not properly rigged. Use the
emergency extension hand pump, TK229/939 hydraulic hand pump
(11, Table 1, 32-00-00) or TK229-1/939 air-driven hydraulic pump
(12, Table 1, 32-00-00) to extend and retract the landing gear for
maintenance and rigging.
NOTE: Use the emergency extension hand pump to retract or extend the actuator during
this rigging procedure.
(4) Retract the gear until the load is removed from the drag brace and the actuator unlocked.
(5) Remove the nut, bolt, and washers attaching the actuator rod end to the upper drag leg arm.
Remove the cotter pin, nut, washers, bushings, and bolt attaching the lower drag leg to the strut
(Ref. Figure 201).
(6) Check the alignment of the lower drag leg with the attachment lug on the landing gear strut;
there must be no side loads on the drag leg when the landing gear is in the extended or retracted
position. Correct misalignment by shifting AN960-1016L washers from side to side of the wheel
well attach fitting and upper drag legs as shown in Figure 201. A minimum of one washer must
be maintained between the upper drag legs and the wheel well attach fitting. After the proper
alignment is obtained, connect the lower drag leg to the landing gear strut.
NOTE: Before proceeding to the next Step, connect a continuity checker between the
normally open set of contacts. Locking of the actuator is verified when continuity is
present in the normally open set of contacts. On multiple-pole switches, all sets of
contacts need to be checked for proper operation upon actuation and deactuation
of the switch.
(7) With the actuator fully retracted and locked and the landing gear fully extended, check the
alignment of the actuator rod end with the upper drag leg arm. The actuator rod end must
slip into the upper drag leg arm without causing any side loads on the actuator piston rod. With
the actuator fully extended, manually push the landing gear to the retracted position and again
check for any side loads on the actuator piston rod. If any misalignment is found in either position,
shift the AN960-716L washers shown in Figure 201 as required to correct the misalignment. A
minimum of one AN960-716L washer is required between the actuator and the support structure.
NOTE: If necessary, refer to 32-10-00, MAIN LANDING GEAR DRAG BRACE ASSEMBLY,
in the Model 1900 Airliner Series Component Maintenance Manual to adjust the
rig plate.
(8) Cut the safety wire and loosen the jam nut on the actuator rod end. With the actuator fully
retracted and the landing gear fully extended, adjust the actuator rod end to align with the
attaching hole in the upper drag leg arm. Tighten the jam nut. Attach the actuator rod end
to the upper drag leg arm with the nut, bolt, and washers.
(9) With the landing gear fully extended, apply moderate pressure to the drag brace assembly as
shown in Figure 201 to bottom out any end play in the actuator. Measure the amount of clearance
between the upper drag leg and the rig plate. If a clearance of 0.005 +0.005/ -0.004 at the closest
point does not exist, loosen the jam nut and lengthen the actuator rod end to the next keying
position by rotating the actuator piston rod. Tighten the jam nut and safety wire to the key washer.
(10) Retract the landing gear fully and measure the clearance between the landing gear piston and
the main spar. If the clearance is not 2.28 +0.25/ -0.09 inches, remove the actuator from the
airplane and adjust the actuator stroke as outlined in Step (11).
(11) The stroke length of the actuator (6.23 ± 0.12 inches) is preset by the vendor and should not
require adjustment; however, if the clearance measured in Step (10) is not within tolerance,
remove the actuator from the airplane and adjust the actuator stroke length as follows:
NOTE: To ensure proper alignment of the hydraulic plumbing to the shuttle valve located
in the end cap, the end cap must be rotated in 360° rotations only. If more than
two complete rotations of the end cap are required to obtain the proper stroke
adjustment, structural damage is indicated and airplane structure inspection
required.
(12) Remove the safety wire and loosen the end cap jam nut. Rotate the end cap one full turn at a
time until the proper adjustment is obtained. When the end cap is rotated out, the stroke length
is increased and when rotated in, the stroke length is decreased. Each full turn of the end cap
will change the stroke length by 0.06 inch.
(13) After the actuator stroke length is adjusted, tighten the jam nut and safety wire.
(14) Install the actuator in the airplane.
(15) Fill and bleed the landing gear hydraulic system as instructed under the heading LANDING
GEAR HYDRAULIC SYSTEM FILLING AND BLEEDING in 32-30-00.
(16) Refer to the Lubrication Schedule in Chapter 12-20-00 and lubricate the landing gear and drag
brace hinge points with the proper lubricant.
(17) Connect the battery and auxiliary power supply to the airplane. Adjust the voltage to 28 ± 0.25
volts.
CAUTION: When cycling the landing gear with the power pack, do not exceed
three cycles in the first six minutes of operation with approximately
a two minute cooling period between cycles, then with a five minute
cooling interval between each cycle.
(18) Cycle the landing gear and check for proper operation of the in-transit and gear-down lights.
If necessary, adjust the down-position, up-position, and actuator down-position switches (Ref.
32-60-00).
(19) Connect the landing gear doors. Check the rigging of the doors as instructed under the heading
MAIN LANDING GEAR DOOR RIGGING in 32-30-12.

07-10-00). All tires must be clear of the floor.
(2) Perform the APPLYING GROUND POWER procedures (Ref. Chapter 24-40-00).
(3) Disconnect the door actuating cams from the doors by removing the cotter pin, nut, washer, and
bolt from the upper end of the link (Ref. Figure 201). Position the doors so the landing gear will
clear during retraction. Check the door cams and the rollers on the landing gear to ensure free
movement.
(4) Position the adjusting blocks so the radius of the adjusting block approximately matches the
radius of the cam lower finger and secure with the attaching bolts.
(5) Partially retract the landing gear until the rollers are positioned next to the lower finger of the
actuating cams. Adjust the actuating cam stop bolt to a clearance of 0.02 to 0.06 inch between
the actuating cam lower finger and the roller.
(6) Retract the landing gear. Push the doors up by hand and check for fit and clearance.
(7) Working with one door at a time, manually close the door and adjust the link assembly as required
so the door closes snugly, front and rear. After adjustment is complete, tighten the jam nut on
the link.
(8) After both doors are properly adjusted, extend the landing gear and connect the links to the
actuating cams with the bolts, washers, nuts, and cotter pins.
(9) Place the upper edge of a straight edge at the centerline of the actuating cam mounting bolt and
the lower edge at the centerline of the lower link attaching bolt as shown in Figure 201. Check
the linkage for overcenter of 0.03 to 0.50 inch. If the overcenter is within this range no further
adjustments are necessary; proceed to Step (11). If the overcenter dimension is not within the
range, then perform Step (10).
(10) If the overcenter dimension was not 0.03 to 0.50 inch, adjust the actuating cam stop block to
achieve a dimension within the range. Partially retract the landing gear until the rollers are
positioned next to the lower finger of the actuating cams. Position the adjusting block to have
a clearance of 0.02 to 0.06 inch between the adjusting block and the roller during the retraction
cycle. Extend the landing gear.
(11) Check final torque on all attaching hardware. Apply a force of approximately 25 pounds at the
lower center edge of the door. The door linkage must remain overcenter and the door must
remain open. Rig any door that folds under this 25 pound load.
(12) Cycle the landing gear several times. Check that the doors shut snugly, front and rear. During
the landing gear extension, check the door overcenter mechanism by pushing on the center of
the door toward the gear with a force of approximately 25 pounds. The doors must open and
stay in the locked position. Rig any door that folds under this 25 pound load.
(13) Lubricate the door hinges and the actuating mechanisms with grease (1, Table 2, 32-00-00).
(14) Connect the battery and perform the APPLYING GROUND POWER procedures (Ref. Chapter
24-40-00).
CAUTION: When cycling the landing gear with the power pack, do not exceed
three cycles in the first six minutes of operation; then allow a two
minute cooling period and resume operation of the power pack,
allowing five minutes between cycles. To prevent serious damage
to the pump, never operate the power pack when the engines
are not operating without supplying 18 psi of regulated dry air to
pressurize the power pack reservoir in place of the engine bleed
air.
(15) Cycle the landing gear several times with the power pack, checking each time that the doors
close snugly when the landing gear is retracted and that they stay open when the landing gear
is extended.
WARNING: Before removing the airplane from the jacks, make sure that
the landing gear emergency extend hand pump handle is in
the stowed position, the plunger on the service valve is pushed
down with the hinged retainer in place, the landing gear control
handle is in the DOWN position, the landing gear is down and
locked and the accumulator is charged to 800 ± 50 psi.
(16) Perform the LOWERING THE AIRPLANE AFTER THREE-POINT JACKING procedures (Ref.
Chapter 07-10-00).
B. Freeplay Limit
Check the main landing gear door freeplay as follows:
(1) The door must be rigged as instructed in this section.
(2) In the fully open position, the door must not move more than 0.50 inch inboard to outboard.
(3) If the door moves more than 0.50 inch, perform the MAIN LANDING GEAR DOOR ACTUATOR
CAM INSPECTION (Ref. 32-10-04).
WARNING: Any time the landing gear has been only partially retracted during
maintenance, cycle the gear with the power pack through at least
one complete cycle before removing the airplane from the jacks.
WARNING: For safety reasons, pull the 2-ampere control circuit breaker on the
pilot's inboard subpanel and place a note on the circuit breaker
panel that LANDING GEAR MAINTENANCE IS IN PROCESS during
maintenance on the landing gear.
WARNING: The landing gear control handle must never be moved from the
down-and-locked position while the airplane is on the ground.
CAUTION: The landing gear must not be cycled with the power pack if low on fluid
or if the landing gear system is not properly rigged. Use the emergency
extension hand pump, TK229/939 hydraulic hand pump (11, Table 1, 32-
00-00) or TK229-1/939 air-driven hydraulic pump (12, Table 1, 32-00-00)
to extend and retract the landing gear for maintenance and rigging.
A service valve in the left hand wing, adjacent to the power pack, is provided for use with the
emergency extension hand pump to raise and lower the landing gear while the landing gear is being
rigged. The service valve is normally in a mode to extend the landing gear (red knob pushed down).
The service valve is accessible through a door in the wing skin just inboard of the LH nacelle. The
red knob cannot be pulled up until the hinged retainer covering it is unlatched and moved out of
the way. The landing gear must not be cycled electrically until the landing gear is properly rigged.
With the airplane on jacks and an external power supply connected and adjusted to 28 ± 0.25 volts,
the landing gear is retracted by pulling the red knob on the service valve up and then operating the
emergency extension hand pump. When the red knob is pulled up, the two switches mounted on the
service valve are actuated to open the circuit to the power pack motor and to complete a circuit from
the 2-ampere control circuit breaker to the retract solenoid on the gear selector valve. The same
action positions the service valve to route the hand pump pressure fluid to the normal retract mode
plumbing to the actuators. Remove the pump handle from the securing clip and pump the handle
up and down to retract the landing gear. After the landing gear is retracted, position the emergency
extend hand handle in the stowed position and turn off the electrical power. To extend the landing
gear push the red knob on the service valve down and extend the landing gear using the emergency
extension hand pump; the electrical power does not have to be on to extend the landing gear. For
safety reasons, pull the 2-ampere control circuit breaker on the pilot's inboard subpanel.
CAUTION: If the red knob on the service valve is pushed down while the landing
gear is retracted the electrical power is on and the landing gear control
handle is in the down position, the landing gear will extend immediately.
Before removing the airplane from the jacks, make sure that the emergency extension hand pump
handle is in the stowed position and that the red knob on the service valve is pushed down with the
hinged retainer in place. Retract and extend the landing gear, using the hydraulic power pack to
ensure the landing gear is in the down-and-locked position before removing the airplane from the
jacks.
CAUTION: To prevent serious damage to the pump, never operate the power
pack when the engines are not operating without supplying 18 psi of
regulated dry air to pressurize the power pack reservoir in place of the
engine bleed air.When cycling the landing gear with the power pack,
do not exceed three cycles in the first six-minutes of operation with
approximately a two-minute cooling period between cycles, then with a
five-minute cooling interval between each cycle.Do not fully cycle the
landing gear electrically until the gear is properly rigged. Use of the
emergency hand pump is recommended for initial rigging.
(1) Perform the THREE-POINT JACKING (PREFERRED PROCEDURE) procedures (Ref. Chapter
7-10-00). All tires must be clear of the floor.
(2) Disconnect the nose gear door push-pull links that operate the nose gear door by removing the
nuts, washers, and bolts attaching the push-pull link rod ends to the strut.
CAUTION: The landing gear must not be cycled with the power pack if low
on fluid or if the landing gear system is not properly rigged. Use the
emergency extension hand pump, TK229/939 hydraulic hand pump
(11, Table 1, 32-00-00) or TK229-1/939 air-driven hydraulic pump
(12, Table 1, 32-00-00) to extend and retract the landing gear for
maintenance and rigging.
(3) Retract the gear until the load is removed from the drag brace and the actuator is unlocked.
(4) Remove the nut, washer, and bolt attaching the actuator clevis to the yoke on the drag brace
assembly.
NOTE: Verify locking of the actuator by connecting a continuity checker between the
normally open set of contacts (pins "C" and "F") of the actuator down-position switch
wiring plug. When the actuator is locked, continuity will be indicated between pins
"C" and "F".
(5) With the actuator fully extended and locked and the lower drag leg arm against the stop bolt,
loosen the jam nut on the actuator clevis and adjust the clevis so that the clevis hole aligns with
the hole in the yoke. The installed bolt must move freely in the yoke. Lengthen the clevis to
the next keying position and tighten the jam nut. Attach the actuator clevis to the yoke with the
attaching bolt, washer, and nut.
(6) To eliminate any side load on the actuator, the alignment of the yoke assembly to the drag brace
assembly must be checked. Check for correct alignment as follows:
(a) Remove the cotter pin, nut, washer, bushings, and stop bolt attaching the yoke to the upper
drag leg.
NOTE: The yoke is offset to facilitate alignment and is installed with the short lug on
either side. If it is necessary to rotate the yoke for proper alignment, the yoke
and clevis is allowed to be rotated as an assembly by turning the actuator
piston rod. Do not change the clevis adjustment set in Step (5).
(b) With the actuator fully extended, position the upper drag leg to install with the yoke.
Measure the space between the yoke and the upper drag leg on each side of the yoke.
(c) Retract the actuator to its fully retracted position. Manually push the nose gear to the
retracted position and locate the yoke assembly to install with the upper drag leg. Measure
the space between the yoke and the upper drag leg on each side of the yoke.
(d) Manually pull the drag brace to the extended position and extend the actuator. Install
AN960-616 and/or AN960-616L washers, as required, on each side of the yoke as shown
in Figure 201, View B, to obtain correct alignment as determined in Steps (6)(b) and (6)(c).
Install the stop bolt, bushing, washer, and nut. A minimum of one AN960-616 or AN960-
616L washer must be installed on each side of the yoke.
(7) With the landing gear fully extended, apply moderate pressure to the drag brace assembly as
shown in Figure 201, View A, to bottom out any end play in the actuator. Check for clearance
between the lower drag leg and both stops. If a clearance of 0.005 + 0.005/ -0.004 does not
exist, loosen the clevis jam nut and lengthen the clevis to the next keying position by rotating
the actuator piston rod. Tighten the jam nut and safety wire.
(8) With the landing gear fully retracted, measure the distance from the upper wheel well panel to
the OD of the nose gear axle as shown in Figure 202. If this measurement is not 11.09 to 11.69
inches, adjust the actuator stroke as outlined in Step (9).
(9) The stroke length of the actuator (9.79 ± 0.12 inches) is preset by the vendor and should not
require adjustment; however, if the clearance measured in Step (8) is not within tolerance,
remove the actuator from the airplane and adjust the actuator stroke length as follows:
NOTE: To ensure proper alignment of the hydraulic plumbing to the actuator shuttle valve
located in the actuator end cap, the actuator end cap must be rotated in 360°
rotations only. If more than two complete rotations are necessary to obtain the
proper stroke, structural damage is indicated and the airplane structure must be
inspected.
(a) Remove the safety wire and loosen the actuator end cap jam nut. Rotate the actuator end
cap one full turn at a time until the proper adjustment is obtained. When the actuator end
cap is rotated out, the stroke length is increased, and when rotated in, the stroke length
is decreased. Each full turn of the actuator end cap will change the stroke length by 0.06
inch.
(b) After the actuator stroke length is correctly adjusted, tighten the jam nut and safety wire.
(10) Fill and bleed the landing gear hydraulic system (Ref. 32-30-00, LANDING GEAR HYDRAULIC
SYSTEM FILLING AND BLEEDING).
(11) Refer to the Lubrication Schedule in Chapter 12-20-00 and lubricate the landing gear and drag
brace hinge points with the proper lubricant.
CAUTION: When cycling the landing gear with the power pack, do not exceed
three cycles in the first six minutes of operation with approximately
a two minute cooling period between cycles, then with a five minute
cooling interval between each cycle.
(12) Cycle the landing gear and check for proper operation of the in-transit and gear-down lights.
If necessary, adjust the down-position, up-position, and actuator down-position switches (Ref.
32-60-00).
(13) Connect the nose gear door to the strut and rig the door as instructed under the heading NOSE
LANDING GEAR DOOR RIGGING in 32-30-15.

maintenance, cycle the gear with the power pack through at least
one complete cycle before removing the airplane from the jacks.
WARNING: For safety reasons, pull the 2-ampere control circuit breaker on the
pilot's inboard subpanel and place a note on the circuit breaker
panel that LANDING GEAR MAINTENANCE IS IN PROCESS during
maintenance on the landing gear.
WARNING: The landing gear control handle must never be moved from the
down-and-locked position while the airplane is on the ground.
CAUTION: The landing gear must not be cycled with the power pack if low on fluid
or if the landing gear system is not properly rigged. Use the emergency
extension hand pump, TK229/939 hydraulic hand pump (11, Table 1, 32-
00-00) or TK229-1/939 air-driven hydraulic pump (12, Table 1, 32-00-00)
to extend and retract the landing gear for maintenance and rigging.
This inspection procedure specifies the requirements and instructions for ultrasonic angle beam
inspection of the NLG actuator assembly P/N 112-380022-23 (or -3 or -15) for cracks propagating
from the inside radius of the end cap. Figure 202 shows an illustration of the actuator and the area
of inspection.
(1) Preparation
NOTE: Personnel shall be qualified and certified minimum level II in accordance with NAS
410.
Clean the surfaces to be inspected using a shop rag dampened with solvent (19, Table 2, 32-00-
00). Ensure the inspection surface is free from grease, oil, sealer, loose or flaking paint, or any
other substance that would prohibit the coupling of the search unit to the part to be inspected.
(2) Equipment Setup/Standardization
Periodically during the inspection and following the completion of all inspections, verify the
standardization by using the calibration standard to insure the instrument remains within
calibration limits. The time between standardization shall not exceed 20 minutes. If the original
calibration requirements are not met, all inspections performed since the last successful
calibration shall be re-inspected.
The following instrument settings are for a typical A-scan presentation ultrasonic instrument, and
are meant as a guide; however sensitivity requirements shall be met.
(a) Connect the probe to the cable and the cable to the instrument and turn the instrument on.
(b) Set the instrument to the initial settings of Table 201.
Description Settings
Gain 40 dB (Decibels)

(a) Apply couplant. Couple the transducer to the center of the cap with the sound beam
directed at the edge of the actuator cap as shown in Figure 203.
(b) Scan 360° of the circumference of the part in the area of interest shown in Figure 202 and
203 for Zone 1. Index no greater than 0.10 inch for 100% coverage of the inspection zone.
Use a typical "Z" scan path while angling the transducer to maximize any crack response
received between 5.0 to 6.0 on the horizontal baseline.
NOTE: A template (Ref. Figure 204) may be used to locate a reference line that will
aid in the inspection.
(c) Scan outward and maximize the reflected signal from the machined contour of the internal
surface of the cap, the signal will first appear at 7.5 and peak at approximately 6.5 on the
horizontal baseline (Ref. Figure 205). Scan outward towards the outer radius of the cap.
(d) As the transducer is scanned across the inspection zone toward the radius of the actuator
end cap, the reflected signal from a crack on the first leg of the "V" path will first appear at
6.5 on the horizontal baseline and peak at 5.5 on the horizontal baseline. For detection of a
crack at the inner radii, the sound beam's exit point of the transducer will be approximately
0.60 inch to the edge of the cap. As the transducer is scanned toward the edge of the
actuator cap other reflections may be seen further out in time, these reflections are non-
relevant, the area of interest will be represented between 4.0 and 6.0 on the horizontal
baseline (Ref. Figure 206).
NOTE: Some actuators may exhibit multiple non-relevant indications adjacent to the
area of interest on the horizontal baseline. Such non-relevant indications may
appear at 7 to 10 on the horizontal baseline (Ref. Figure 207).
NOTE: Indications caused by droplets of hydraulic fluid on the inner surface will
change their location and amplitude on the horizontal baseline when the
actuator is manipulated or rotated.
(b) Any repeatable sustainable crack response of 30% FSH or greater within the area of
interest shall be rejected.

(a) Apply couplant. Couple the transducer to the part with the sound beam directed at the
edge of the actuator cap as shown in Figure 208.
(b) Mark a reference line around the circumference 1.0 inch back from the end of the cap
representing the inspection zone on the surface of the part.
(c) Mark a reference line around the circumference 0.60 inch back from the end of the cap
on the surface of the cap. This line represents the approximate location of the transducer
sound beam's exit point in relation to crack detection at the inner radii.
(d) Scan the outer circumference of the part in the area of interest shown in Ref. Figures
202 and 209. Index no greater than 0.10 inch for 100% coverage of the inspection zone.
Use a typical "Z" scan path while angling the transducer to maximize any crack response
received between 4.0 to 6.0 on the horizontal baseline.
NOTE: Scanning must be contained within the inspection zone. Scanning outside of
the inspection zone can lead to miss interpretation of indication as cracks
due to normal ID geometry.
(e) As the transducer is scanned across the inspection zone toward the radius of the end cap
of the actuator a reflected signal from the "O" ring groove will appear at 5.5 and peak at
5.0 on the horizontal baseline. As the transducer is moved further toward the end of the
cap to inspect the area of interest the reflected signal from a crack will immediately follow
the "O" ring signal appearing at 5.5 and peaking at 4.8 on the horizontal baseline. For
detection of a crack at the inner radii, the sound beam's exit point of the transducer will
be approximately 0.60 inch to the edge of the cap. As the transducer is scanned further
toward the edge of the actuator cap other reflections may be seen further out in time, these
reflections are non-relevant, the area of interest will be represented between 3.0 and 6.0
on the horizontal baseline (Ref. Figure 210).
NOTE: Indications caused by droplets of hydraulic fluid on the inner surface will
change their location and amplitude on the horizontal baseline when the
actuator is manipulated or rotated.
NOTE: Some actuators may exhibit multiple non-relevant indications adjacent to the
area of interest on the horizontal baseline. Such non-relevant indications may
appear at 7 to 10 on the horizontal baseline (Ref. Figure 211).
NOTE: Indications caused by droplets of hydraulic fluid on the inner surface will
change their location and amplitude on the horizontal baseline when the
actuator is manipulative or rotated.
(b) Any repeatable sustainable crack response of 30% FSH or greater within the area of
interest shall be rejected.

NOTE: The nose gear door removal and installation procedures are located in 32-20-04.
The nose gear door is hinged at the front and connected to the nose gear brace with push-pull link
assemblies. As the nose gear is retracted, the door is pulled closed and as the nose gear is extended,
the door is pushed open.
Prior to rigging the nose gear door, the nose landing gear must be properly rigged as outlined under
NOSE LANDING GEAR RIGGING in 32-30-13. While rigging the door, use the emergency extension
hand pump or auxiliary pumps (11 or 12, Table 1, 32-00-00) to raise and lower the landing gear. The
procedure for using the emergency hand pump is under the heading MAIN LANDING GEAR RIGGING
in 32-30-09.
(1) Perform the THREE-POINT JACKING (PREFERRED PROCEDURE) procedures (Ref. Chapter
07-10-00). All tires must be clear of the floor.
(2) Perform the REMOVING GROUND POWER procedures (Ref. Chapter 24-40-00) and
disconnect the battery.
(3) Disconnect the two push-pull links from the nose gear brace (Ref. Figure 201).
(4) With the landing gear fully retracted, manually close the door and check that the door is centered
in the wheel well opening. If further adjustment is necessary, reposition the AN960-716 and/or
AN960-716L washers shown in Figure 201, View A. A minimum of one washer is required on
each side of the hinges.
(5) With the landing gear still retracted, manually close the door and check that the contour of the
door matches that of the nose. Add or remove the laminated shims (P/N 114-820063-27) shown
in Figure 201, View B, as necessary to correct any mismatch between the door and nose.
(6) Extend the landing gear and connect the push-pull links to the nose gear brace. Install the
washers in the same positions as when removed. Slowly retract the landing gear and check for
a snug fit of the door when the landing gear is fully retracted. Adjust the length of the push-pull
links at the rod ends to get the door to close snugly.
(7) Lubricate the door hinges and the push-pull links with lubricant (1, Table 2, 32-00-00).
(8) Connect the battery and perform the APPLYING GROUND POWER procedures (Ref. Chapter
24-40-00).
CAUTION: When cycling the landing gear with the power pack, do not exceed
three cycles in the first six minutes of operation with approximately
a two minute cooling period between cycles, then with a five minute
cooling interval between each cycle.To prevent serious damage to
the pump, never operate the power pack when the engines are not
operating without supplying 18 psi of regulated dry air to pressurize
the power pack reservoir.
(9) Cycle the landing gear several times with the power pack, checking each time that the door
closes snugly when the landing gear is retracted.

A. Nose Gear Wheel Assembly
One 6.50 x 8 magnesium wheel is installed on the nose landing gear. The wheel consists of an inner
and outer wheel half, held together with eight bolts and nuts, with one washer under each bolt head
and nut to prevent galling and stress concentration. A packing mounted in a groove on the inner wheel
half seals the wheel against air leakage when the wheel halves are joined together. The wheel rotates
on tapered roller bearings seated in bearing cups that are shrink-fitted into each wheel half. Grease
seals are installed over each wheel bearing. The wheel is retained on the axle with two washers, a
nut, and a cotter pin.
B. Main Gear Wheel Assemblies

BEECHCRAFT®
MODEL 1900D AIRLINER
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Two 6.50 x 10 aluminum wheels are installed on each main landing gear. Each wheel consists of an
inner and outer wheel half held together with seven bolts and nuts with one washer under each bolt
head and nut to prevent galling and stress concentration. A packing mounted in a groove on the inner
wheel half seals the wheel against air leakage when the wheel halves are joined together. Seven
keyway liners are riveted to each inboard wheel half and project into the disc drive slots of the flange
to protect the slots from being battered by the rotating disc tangs of the brake. The wheels rotate
on tapered roller bearings seated in bearing cups that are shrink-fitted into each wheel half. Grease
seals are installed over each wheel bearing. The wheel assemblies are retained on each axle with
two washers, a nut, and a cotter pin.
C. Tires
The nose landing gear wheel is equipped with a 19.50 x 6.75 x 8, 10-ply rated, 190 mph speed rated,
tubeless tire. Each main landing gear wheel is equipped with two 22 x 6.75 x 10, 10-ply rated, 190
mph speed rated, tubeless rim-inflated tires.
D. Brake Assembly
The airplane is equipped with four hydraulically operated brake assemblies. Each main landing gear
incorporates two multi-disc, metallic lined brake assemblies bolted together, one on each side of the
strut (Ref. Figure 1). The two are hydraulically interconnected by an inlet swivel fitting. Each brake
assembly contains two inlet ports; one port is plugged and the other port accepts the inlet fitting. The
brake assemblies are interchangeable by changing the locations of the inlet plug and fitting. A bleeder
screw is located adjacent to each inlet port. Each brake assembly contains two rotating discs, which
are keyed to rotate with the wheel, a stationary disc, and a pressure plate and back plate which are
attached to the brake housing. Braking action occurs when hydraulic pressure is applied to the five
small pistons in the brake housing, forcing the disc stack together and creating friction between the
rotating discs and the stationary components of the brake.
E. Hydraulic Brake System
The dual hydraulic brakes are operated by depressing the toe portion of either the pilot's or copilot's
rudder pedals. The depression of either set of pedals compresses the piston rod in the master cylinder
attached to each pedal. The hydraulic pressure resulting from the movement of the pistons in the
master cylinders is transmitted through flexible hoses and fixed aluminum tubing to the disc brake
assembly on each main landing gear wheel. Braking action occurs when hydraulic pressure at the
brake pistons forces the disc stack of each brake assembly together, creating friction between the
rotating discs and the stationary components of the brake assembly. Hydraulic fluid is supplied to the
master cylinders from a reservoir accessible through the nose avionics compartment door.
F. Parking Brake
Dual parking brake valves are plumbed in the lines between the master cylinders of the copilot's rudder
pedals and the wheel brakes. The two lever type valves are located just aft of the flight compartment
under the center aisle floorboard. A push-pull cable from the valve control levers runs to the pedestal,
terminating with a knob. After the brake pedals have been depressed to build up pressure in the brake
lines, both valves are closed simultaneously by pulling out the parking brake knob on the pedestal.
This closes the valves to retain the pressure that was previously pumped into the brake lines. The
parking brake is released when the brake pedals are depressed briefly to equalize the pressure on
both sides of the valves and the parking brake knob is pushed in.
G. Hydraulic Fittings
To reduce the possibility of leaks in the hydraulic system, care must be taken when installing the
hydraulic fittings. Anytime a fitting is loosened or removed, discard the packing and install the fitting
with a new packing. To prevent damage to the packing, coat the packing and the threads of the fitting
with MIL-H-5606 hydraulic fluid (2, Table 2, 32-00-00) before installing the packing on the fitting (Ref.
Figure 2). Some fittings in the brake system employ both a packing and a back-up ring. When this
type of fitting is loosened or removed, both the packing and the ring must be replaced when the fitting
is installed.
H. Brake Deicing

BEECHCRAFT®
MODEL 1900D AIRLINER
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Heated air for brake deicing is supplied by bleed air from the compressor of each engine. The brake
deicer is plumbed into the bleed air system that provides air for surface deice and instrument vacuum
operation. The engine bleed air line is routed near the center of each nacelle to a solenoid-operated
firewall shutoff valve in each main gear wheel well. From the shutoff valve, bleed air is routed through
a hose secured to the aft side of the landing gear strut and down to the distributor manifold attached
to each brake assembly. The bleed air is directed to the brake for each wheel through orifices around
the circumference of each ring of the distributor manifold.

C. Brake Wear Limits
To check the total disc wear, measure the distance between the back of the pressure plate and the
brake housing with normal brake pressure applied from the master cylinder (Ref. Figure 202).
Replace the brake assembly when it has reached the maximum wear limit. To determine the remaining
flight cycles for a brake assembly (Ref. Table 201).
NOTE: Table 201 is based on average wear rates. Wear rates may vary between operators and
brakes depending on operating conditions. This Table should only be used as a guide.
Brakes must be removed from service at full wear.
A flight cycle is defined as: Engine start-up and increase to full or partial power (as required during a
normal flight), one landing gear retraction and extension and a complete shutdown.
WARNING: Whenever the brakes are to be released, make sure the airplane is
on level ground and the wheels are chocked.
Pressure bleeding is the most efficient method of bleeding the brake system. This procedure involves
attaching a pressure pot to the brake assembly bleeder ports and back bleeding the system to the
fluid reservoir. Procedures for utilizing the preferred pressure pot, the electric bleeder and the gravity
bleed method are outlined below.
NOTE: The line hookup for pressure pot bleeding is the same as shown in Figure 201, except the
electric bleeder is replaced with a pressure pot.
(1) Remove the protective cover from around the brake fluid reservoir.
(2) Disconnect the pressure equalization line from the reservoir and attach an extension line
approximately three feet in length.
(3) Place the end of the extension line in a clean receptacle to collect the brake fluid overflow.
(4) Cut the safety wire and remove the screws from the bleeder ports of each brake assembly.
Install a bleeder hose adapter (shown in Figure 201) into each brake bleeder port. Fabricate a
bleeder hose assembly (shown in Figure 201) for each set of brakes; connect the bleeder hose
assemblies between the bleeder hose adapters and the pressure lines of the pressure pot.
(5) Apply a constant pressure of approximately 15 pounds to the pressure pot. Open the pressure
pot control valve.
(6) Bleed the system until the draining fluid is free of air bubbles.
(7) Close the pressure pot valve. Remove the bleeder hose adapters and hose assemblies from
each landing gear. Install the screws into the bleeder ports of each brake assembly and safety
wire.
(8) Remove the extension line from the pressure equalization port on the reservoir.
(9) Connect the pressure equalization line to the reservoir.
(10) Install the shield around the brake fluid reservoir.
(11) Remove the cap from the hydraulic fluid reservoir and add MIL-H-5606 hydraulic fluid (2, Table
2, 32-00-00) as required to obtain a full reading.

Install a bleeder hose adapter (shown in Figure 201) into each brake bleeder port. Fabricate a
bleeder hose assembly (shown in Figure 201) for each set of brakes; connect the bleeder hose
assemblies between the bleeder hose adapters and the pressure lines of the pressure pot.
(4) Activate the bleeder and set the relief valve to approximately 15 pounds by observing the
pressure gage prior to opening the electric bleeder control valve.
(5) Open the electric bleeder control valve and observe the returning fluid through the inline sight
glass. Pumping the pilot's and copilot's pedals during the bleeding process help to dislodge any
air bubbles trapped in the master cylinders.
(6) When the returning fluid shows no further evidence of air bubbles, close the electric bleeder
control valve.
(7) Disconnect the fluid infusion lines from the bleeder hose assemblies and remove the bleeder
hose assemblies and adapters from the brake assemblies. Install the screws into the bleeder
ports of each brake assembly and safety wire.
(8) Disconnect the fluid return line from the brake fluid reservoir and connect the pressure
equalization line.
(9) Install the shield around the brake fluid reservoir.
(10) Check the brake reservoir fluid level and add MIL-H-5606 hydraulic fluid (2, Table 2, 32-00-00)
as required to obtain a full reading.
(11) Check the operation of the brakes. When the brake pedals are pressed there must be no spongy
feeling and pedal pressure equal on both brakes.
C. Using the Gravity Bleeding Method
WARNING: Whenever the brakes are to be released, make sure the airplane is
on level ground and the wheels are chocked.
This method of bleeding is done from the master cylinder down to the brake assembly. The brake
fluid reservoir must be kept full during the bleeding operation. Since the pilot's and copilot's master
cylinders are plumbed in series, the entire system is bled by operating the pilot's brake pedals in the
following manner:

1. Antiskid Brakes
CAUTION: Jacking of an airplane for the purpose of landing gear operation, inspection,
servicing or maintenance, should be accomplished within an enclosed
building or hanger. In the interest of safety, should it become necessary
to jack the airplane in the open, wind velocity in any direction and terrain
variations, must be compensated for prior to jacking the airplane.
NOTE: For a description of the wheels, tires, brake assemblies and parking brake valves, refer to
the applicable Chapter that starts with 32-40.

panel forward of the main spar, energizing the time delay relay under the first floorboard panel
aft of the main spar, which will illuminate a yellow ANTI-SKID FAIL annunciator in the CAUTION/
ADVISORY panel. A maintenance switch mounted on the brake fluid reservoir provides power
to open the two-position solenoid valve when the reservoir cap is removed.
(3) The dual hydraulic brakes are operated by depressing the toe portion of either the pilot's or
copilot's rudder pedals. The depression of either set of pedals compresses the piston rod in the
master cylinder attached to each pedal. The hydraulic pressure resulting from the movement
of the pistons in the master cylinders is transmitted through flexible hoses and fixed aluminum
tubing to the power brake valve. Braking action occurs when hydraulic pressure (generated
by the master cylinders or metered pressure from the pump) at the brake pistons forces the
disc stack of each brake assembly together creating friction between the rotating discs and the
stationary components of the brake assembly.
B. Antiskid Brake System Manual Mode
(1) When the antiskid brake system is in the manual mode (control switch on pedestal in the OFF
position) there will be no fluid pressure from the pump at the pressure inlet port of the power
brake valve. This allows the pressure generated at the master cylinders to force the shuttle
valves in the power brake valve to open (Ref. Figure 2).
C. Antiskid Brake System Antiskid Mode
(1) With the antiskid brake system in the antiskid mode, the pump pressure present at the inlet port
of the power brake valve will position the internal shuttle valves to isolate the master cylinder
pressure from the brake assemblies and to open a passage for metered pump pressure to the
brake assemblies (Ref. Figure 3). Master Cylinder pressure in the power brake valve acts on
the control valve piston to close the return passage and to open the passage for pump pressure
into the control valve. The resulting metered pressure is applied to the control valve spool to
balance the pressure delivered to the brake assemblies with the master cylinder pressure. As
the master cylinder pressure is increased or decreased, the control valve spool moves to allow
fluid to escape through the return passage and decrease the metered pressure or to close the
return port and allow the metered pressure to increase.
(2) The wheel speed transducers monitor the wheel RPM and relay the information to the skid control
unit to be processed. The skid control unit sends electrical signals, based on the information
provided by the wheel transducers, to the servo valve mounted on the power brake valve. The
servo valve responds to the input from the skid control unit by varying its control pressure. The
control pressure is created in the cavity of the servo valve between the system pressure nozzle
and return nozzle. Signals from the skid control unit control the opening and closing of the two
nozzles. When no electrical signal from the skid control unit is present, the pressure nozzle is
open and the return nozzle is closed; therefore, the control pressure of the servo valve is the
same as the pump pressure and has no effect on the operation of the control valve. When a
skid condition is imminent, the appropriate signal is sent to the servo valve and the servo valve
control pressure is reduced as the pressure nozzle is closed. When the control pressure is
reduced, pump pressure at the opposite end of the control valve spools moves the spools to
open the return passages allowing fluid in the control valves to bleed off, resulting in a reduced
pressure to all four brake assemblies. As the wheel RPM begins to increase, the servo valve
control pressure increases, resulting in an increased brake pressure. If the wheel transducers
indicate that the wheels are still in a skid condition, the brake pressure will be decreased again.
This cycle will continue until the tendency for the wheels to skid has ended. Differential braking
between the LH and RH master cylinders will be maintained while the antiskid brake function is
operating.

CAUTION: Jacking of an airplane for the purpose of landing gear operation, inspection,

building or hanger. In the interest of safety, should it become necessary
to jack the airplane in the open, wind velocity in any direction and terrain

Table 101. Antiskid Brake System
WARNING: Whenever the brakes are to be released, make sure the airplane is
on level ground and the wheels are chocked.
Brake system bleeding will be required whenever the system is opened at any point between the
master cylinders and the wheel brake assemblies, whenever the brakes become spongy in service,
or whenever the parking brakes will no longer hold. In the latter instance, the system must be checked
for leakage.
Use only the specified hydraulic fluid (2, Table 2, 32-00-00) in the brake system and ensure that no dirt
or foreign matter is allowed to get into the brake system. Dirt under seals results in leaks or clogging
of the compensating ports in the master cylinders and or results in brake locking.
Textron Aviation Inc. recommends the use of pressure pot brake bleeding. If the pressure pot bleeding
method is not available, electric bleeding is recommended. Use the gravity method only if the other
two methods are not available. If the gravity system is used, pressure bleed the brakes at the earliest
possible time. Using any method, the parking brake lever and toe brake pedals must both be fully
released to open the compensating ports in the brake master cylinders.
If the brakes feel soft or spongy after the bleeding operation, air is trapped in the cylinders. Remove
the brake and lay it on its side. Add brake fluid as needed through the bleed port and tap the brake
lightly with a rubber hammer to dislodge any air bubbles. When air bubbles no longer appear at the
port, install the brake and repeat the bleeding procedure.
C. Gravity Bleeding
This method of bleeding is done from the master cylinder down to the brake assembly. The brake
fluid reservoir must be kept full during the bleeding operation. Since the pilot's and copilot's master
cylinders are plumbed in series, the manual portion of the system is bled by operating the pilot's brake
pedals only. Bleed the brakes in the following manner:
WARNING: Whenever the brakes are to be released, make sure the airplane is
on level ground and the wheels are chocked.
(1) Cut the safety wire and open the bleeder port screws of both brake assemblies on one landing
gear.
(2) Press the pilot's corresponding brake pedal slowly and smoothly to eliminate air trapped in the
system.
(3) Hold the brake pedal in the pressed position and close the bleeder port screws at the brake
assemblies.
(4) Release the brake pedal.
(5) Repeat Steps (1), (2), (3), and (4) until no more air bubbles appear in the drained fluid.
(6) Open the bleeder port screws of the other brake assembly and repeat Steps (1), (2), (3), and (4)
while pressing the other brake pedal until no more air bubbles appear in the drained fluid.
(7) Check the brake reservoir fluid level and add hydraulic fluid (2, Table 2, 32-00-00) as required

1. General
CAUTION: Jacking of an airplane for the purpose of landing gear operation, inspection,
servicing or maintenance, should be accomplished within an enclosed
building or hanger. In the interest of safety, should it become necessary
to jack the airplane in the open, wind velocity in any direction and terrain
variations, must be compensated for prior to jacking the airplane.
A. Description
(1) The heated air for brake deicing is supplied by bleeding air from the compressor of each engine.
The brake deicer is plumbed into the bleed air system that provides air for surface deice and
instrument vacuum operation. The engine bleed air line is routed near the center of each nacelle
to a solenoid-operated firewall shutoff valve in each main gear wheel well. From the shutoff
valve, bleed air is routed through a hose secured to the aft side of the landing gear strut and
down to a distributor manifold attached to each brake assembly. The bleed air is directed to the
brake for each wheel through orifices around the circumference of each ring of the distributor
manifold (Ref Figure 1 and Figure 2).
(2) The brake deice system is controlled by a toggle switch (placarded BRAKE DEICE/OFF)
mounted on the pilot's inboard subpanel. When this switch is in the BRAKE DEICE position,
power from the airplane electrical system is supplied through a 5-ampere circuit breaker in the
center aisle circuit breaker panel to the brake deice control module assembly, located under the
center aisle floorboard (143ATC) (Ref. Chapter 06-50-00). Current is then supplied from this
point to open the solenoid shutoff valves on the aft side of the firewall in the main gear wheel
wells, allowing the hot bleed air to enter the distributor manifold for diffusion through the orifices
to deice the brakes. A switch, which is part of the solenoid shutoff valve, provides a signal to
light the green L BK DEICE ON and R BK DEICE ON annunciators in the CAUTION/ADVISORY
panel when the shutoff valve is open. If the airplane is flown without the brake deice switch
having been turned to OFF, a circuit is completed through the brake deice control module relay
to a timing circuit in the brake deice control module. The timing circuit will close the shutoff
valves after 10 minutes of operation, shutting off the flow of bleed air to the brakes so that
adjacent components will incur no damage through overheating. If it is desired to turn the brake
deice system back on, the landing gear must be lowered and the switch cycled OFF, then ON,
before the system will operate.
(3) Additional protection against damage from overheating of the brake deice system is provided
by the brake deice overtemp warning system. In this system low pressure plumbing lines are
routed from the engine bleed air distributor manifold beneath the cabin floorboards into each
wheel well, where the lines are terminated in soft plastic tubing plugged at the end to contain
pressure. The soft plastic tubing is routed in close proximity to the main engine bleed air lines
which provide hot air to deice the brakes. If overheating of the brake deice system occurs, the
soft plastic lines will melt, thus relieving the pressure in the warning system lines. As pressure
is relieved, a pressure switch, which is tapped off of the soft plastic line in each wheel well, will
activate yellow L BK DI OVHT and/or R BK DI OVHT annunciators in the CAUTION/ADVISORY
panel, thereby warning the operator that the brake deice system must be turned OFF.

1. General
CAUTION: Jacking of an airplane for the purpose of landing gear operation, inspection,
servicing or maintenance, should be accomplished within an enclosed
building or hanger. In the interest of safety, should it become necessary
to jack the airplane in the open, wind velocity in any direction and terrain
variations, must be compensated for prior to jacking the airplane.
The power steering system has three modes: TAXI, PARK and caster. The TAXI mode provides ± 15°
steering and PARK mode provides ± 55° steering. Both are selected by the TAXI/PARK switch on the
pedestal. The caster mode is in effect when the system is OFF. Power lever disconnect switches and an
activate switch control when the two steering modes are operable. Three annunciators report system
status:
PWR STEER ENGA - power steering system is activated and ready.
PWR STEER FAIL - power steering system electrical failure or low hydraulic pressure.
MAN STEER FAIL - power steering system actuator has not returned to caster mode.
The power steering system hydraulic fluid reservoir is mounted on the right side of forward pressure
bulkhead. The reservoir sight gage displays the hydraulic fluid level. The hydraulic fluid is used by the
3,000 psig hydraulic pump and motor assembly located in the nose wheel well. A filter protects the
hydraulic fluid from contamination. Power for the pump motor is supplied through the power steering
motor relay and 30-ampere circuit breaker located in the left nacelle on the electrical power distribution
panel. The pressure switch detects low pressure and signals the power steering relay PCB. A pressure
switch and filter are located in the nose wheel well (Ref Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3).
Two command potentiometers, mounted on the pilot's rudder pedal assembly (Ref Figure 101), transmit
the pilot's steering input to the power steering amplifier located under the copilots seat. The amplifier and
power steering relay PCB control the actuator. The amplifier compares potentiometer inputs and directs
actuator movements. The power steering relay PCB contains relay logic to activate the system with
respect to power lever position and landing gear positions. The power steering relay PCB also provides
signals to the fault detect PCB for the annunciator readouts on system operation.
The power steering actuator twists the nose gear strut right or left with respect to rudder pedal movement
(Ref Figure 103). The actuator consists of two pistons, a selector valve, servo valve, solenoid, response
restrictors, and a feedback potentiometer. The selector valve allows hydraulic fluid to move the pistons
or isolates the pistons. The servo valve directs hydraulic fluid pressure to each piston as required for
nosewheel movement. The actuator solenoid prevents the entry of the pressure fluid into the actuator until
it is energized. The response restrictors dampen the actuator movement. The feedback potentiometer
provides voltage feedback to the power steering amplifier which is recognized as nosewheel strut
movement.
A. Power Steering Amplifier
The power steering amplifier contains fault diagnostic circuits to aid in isolating system faults. The
fault diagnostic codes are shown in Figure 102 of the TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURES found
in this section.

Command, feedback and logic circuits control the actuator and report status to the relay PCB. Inputs
from the command and feedback circuits are compared and as a result the actuator valves are
positioned to move the nose gear right or left. When an imbalance of approximately 10° TAXI mode
is sensed between the feedback potentiometer circuit and the command potentiometer circuit, the
amplifier will interrupt the relay PCB logic, and the system will be deactivated.
The power steering amplifier adjustable potentiometer, placarded CENTER, is used to center the nose
gear.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. Power Steering
CAUTION: Jacking of an airplane for the purpose of landing gear operation, inspection,
servicing or maintenance, should be accomplished within an enclosed
building or hanger. In the interest of safety, should it become necessary
to jack the airplane in the open, wind velocity in any direction and terrain
variations, must be compensated for prior to jacking the airplane.
A. Power Steering Troubleshooting Notes
(1) Circuit breakers are to be CLOSED when checking voltages.
(2) Circuit breakers are to be OPEN and tagged when checking continuity.
(3) Once a malfunction is isolated to an individual printed circuit board, printed wiring board,
amplifier, or relay, replace that component, then continue.
(4) Check voltage or continuity across switches by opening and closing switches as required.
(5) If the power steering electrical system is down, check the relay and limiter on the left nacelle
electrical panel.
(6) Check solder joints for cold or open connections.
(7) Check connectors and plugs for proper grounding and bent or broken pins. Check ground and
shielded wires for secure ground.
B. Airplane Configuration for Power Steering Troubleshooting
Prior to troubleshooting the power steering system, place the airplane in the following configuration.
(1) Landing gear must be DOWN and LOCKED.
(2) Nose wheel jacked clear of the ground and safety pinned.
(3) Nose wheel located in the CENTER position.
(4) Rudder pedals in NEUTRAL with the rig pin installed.
(5) 28-vdc, 200-ampere auxiliary power supply connected to the airplane with power on.
(6) Engine power levers located at less than 90%.
(7) Main landing gear on the ground or squat switches bypassed. (Refer to the 1900D Airliner
Electrical Wiring Diagram Manual.)
C. Power Steering System Configuration for Troubleshooting
CAUTION: All power to the airplane must be off before disconnecting the printed
circuit board (PCB).
Two test boxes (7 and 8, Table 1, 32-00-00) are required to effectively troubleshoot the power steering
system. The test boxes are installed in series with the power steering amplifier and airplane wire
harness or between the power steering relay PCB and the airplane wire harness. Numbered test
jacks on each test box accommodate checking voltages, measuring continuity and jumping system
components.
Nose centering tools (9 and 10, Table 1, 32-00-00) are used to closely measure nosewheel movement.
(1) Disconnect connector P486 from the airplane's power steering amplifier and insert the amplifier
test box (7, Table 1, 32-00-00) in series between the amplifier and wiring plug P486 (Ref. Figure
101).
CAUTION: All power to the airplane must be off and the battery disconnected
before removing the printed circuit board (PCB) from the rack.
(2) Disconnect wiring plug P489 from the airplane's power steering relay PCB and insert the power
steering relay PCB test box (8, Table 1, 32-00-00) in series between the relay PCB and P489
(Ref. Figure 102).
(3) Connect the battery and restore electrical power to the airplane.
(4) Position the circuit breakers and switches as follows:

(e) GEN TIES switch located in the pilot's left subpanel in the MAN CLOSE position.
(f) Power steering POWER switch located on the pedestal in the ON position.
(g) The power switch on the test box (7, Table 1, 32-00-00) is in the OFF position.
(h) The power steering mode switch on the pedestal is in the OPERATE position.
D. Power Steering System Troubleshooting
To assist in determining the source of a system fault, the power steering amplifier is equipped with
fault diagnostics. In the event there is a system fault, the amplifier will display a fault code. Amplifiers
have a single digit alpha-numeric display to represent a diagnostic code. Refer to Figure 101 for the
fault code descriptions.
During the first two seconds after power-up the amplifier conducts a self test and the alpha-numeric
display will illuminate.
Disregard a 7 or 8 readout at power-up.
(1) Check the amplifier for a fault code (Ref. Figure 101).
(2) Place meter leads in test points 22 and 14 of the test box (7, Table 1, 32-00-00).
(3) Install the nose gear centering tools (9 and 10 Table 1, 32-00-00) on the nose landing gear.

note that the GREEN annunciator on the annunciator panel just above the control levers. Make
sure the PARK/TAXI mode switch is in the PARK position.
(5) Note the voltage between Pins 22 and 14 with the rudder pedals at the neutral position. Remove
the rig pin and move the rudder pedals to hard right and note the voltage. Return the pedals
to the neutral position and then move the rudder pedals to the hard left position and note the
voltage.
(a) If the neutral-to-right voltage difference is greater than the neutral-to-hard left, remove the
spring from the link connected between the rudder pedal and command potentiometer and
shorten the link.
(b) If the neutral-to-hard right voltage difference is less than the neutral-to-hard left voltage,
remove the spring from the link connected between the rudder pedal and the command
potentiometer and lengthen the link.
(6) When the neutral-to-hard left and neutral-to-hard right voltage difference is within 0.015 volts,
adjust the link to the next locking position. Adjust the spring clamp and reconnect the spring.
Position the barrel and install the safety clips.
(7) Open the power steering circuit breaker and check that the power steering fail annunciator is
illuminated.
(8) Close the power steering circuit breaker and press the power steering activation switch located
on the pedestal power lever. Listen for the power steering pump to start operating. Observe the
following lights:
(a) Power steering fail (PWR STEER FAIL) annunciator light extinguishes.
(b) Power steering engage (PWR STEER ENGA) annunciator light illuminates.
(c) Green hydraulic high pressure annunciator light illuminates.
NOTE: The nose wheel need not be at 0° after the following adjustment.
(9) Reinstall the rudder pedal rig pin. Move the PARK/TAXI switch on the test box while observing
the nose gear. If the wheel jumps as the switch is moved from TAXI to PARK, adjust the bellcrank
potentiometer until minimal movement is obtained as the switch is switched between PARK and
TAXI.
NOTE: Always have the switch in PARK position during potentiometer adjustment.
(10) If the nose gear does not indicate 0° on the nose centering tool, adjust the nose gear centering
potentiometer on the power steering amplifier until the nose gear is at 0°.
(11) Remove the stop pins from the nose centering tool. Do not allow the actuator to travel until it
hits the stops.
(12) Move the mode switch on the test box or pedestal to the TAXI position. Move the rudder pedals
from hard left to hard right and note a travel of 15 ± 3° travel to the left and 15 ± 3° travel to the
right.
(13) Move the mode switch to the PARK position and observe a travel of 55 ± 5° when the rudder
pedals are moved from center to hard right and 55 ± 5° from center to hard left.
(14) Move the power switch to the OFF position and check the nose gear for a return to the center
position.
(15) Depress the power steering activation switch on the pedestal power lever and check that the
power steering hydraulic pump operates.
(16) Move the power levers and check the power steering pump for shut down as the power levers
pass 90% N1 setting.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. General
A. Flight Compartment Lights
Most troubleshooting of the cockpit lights will consist of lamp replacement. If a substitution of the lamp
does not solve the problem, check all connections in the wiring to the lamp holder. A loose, corroded,
or damaged pin connection often causes light failure.
Troubleshooting instrument panel display units and control panels that have lighting as an integral part
of their design requires manufacturer's documentation. Refer to the Collins Avionics System Manual
(522-2638-006 or 073-0045-00). When troubleshooting electroluminescent panels, note the following:
(1) A short in one electroluminescent panel or a faulty power supply will prevent all of the
electroluminescent panels in that circuit from illuminating.
(2) Disconnect the output connector at the power supply to check power supply output. Use a
potentiometer to vary output of the power supply.
(3) If the power supply output is correct, check each individual electroluminescent panel by isolating
it from the other panels in the circuit and applying the correct operating voltage.
(4) Electroluminescent panels cannot be repaired; therefore, replacement is the only option if the
panel fails to illuminate.
(5) If the annunciators fail to illuminate when the test button is pushed, the trouble is probably in the
power supply. Check the circuit breaker on the RH circuit breaker panel. If the circuit breaker
is properly closed, check for 28 Volts at pin 8 on the annunciator control module and pins 1 and
2 on the annunciator legend power source module. There are troubleshooting procedures for
individual annunciator circuits (Ref. Chapter 31).
NOTE: Pull on the legend plate with fingers only. Damage to the legend plate may occur if
tools such as pliers are used for removal.

1. General
A. Emergency Exit lighting System (Optional Installation with External Flood Lights) (UE-1 and After)
(Ref Figure 1 and Figure 2).
NOTE: The emergency lighting system is an optional installation and may not be installed on
every airplane.
(1) The emergency exit lighting system is a self-activating system that utilizes three individual
emergency exit light assemblies and four exterior floodlights to provide illumination of the cabin
door and emergency exits during an emergency or in the event of a power failure. The three
emergency exit light assemblies are mounted in the cabin headliner and consist of a printed
circuit board (includes G-switch), voltage regulator, module test switch, 5-amp fuse, the interior
floodlight and the EXIT lens. The forward light assembly is mounted directly across from the
cabin door, the middle light assembly across from the forward emergency escape hatch and the
aft light assembly directly between the left and right aft emergency escape hatches. The exit
light modules also power their respective external floodlights located outside each emergency
exit and just forward of the cabin door entrance. A battery pack is mounted adjacent to each
light module to provide emergency power when voltage is lost from the RH generator bus. The
battery packs receive a charging current from the RH generator bus during normal conditions.
(2) The emergency lighting system is armed and tested with a three-position exit light ARM switch
(OFF-ARM-TEST) located on the overhead switch panel. Once armed, each emergency light
assembly can be activated by an integral G-switch located on the pcb of each module. Without
power failure or G-switch actuation, an armed module circuit only illuminates its respective EXIT
lens. If power is lost from the RH generator bus or should the G-switch sense a 1.5 g deceleration
(forward direction only) the emergency floodlights are automatically illuminated. If the OFF-
ARM-TEST switch is placed in the momentary TEST position, all of the emergency floodlights
are illuminated for test. A lever-lock is provided to prevent inadvertent movement of the ARM
switch to OFF once ARM has been selected.
(3) A red warning annunciator, placarded ARM EMER LITES on the master warning annunciator
panel, is illuminated when power is on the RH generator bus and the emergency exit lighting
system is not armed. Refer to Chapter 31-50-00 for detailed information on the warning
annunciator system.
(4) The battery packs are charged by the RH generator bus when the emergency exit ARM switch is
in either the OFF or ARM position. Charging current is interrupted and the emergency lights are
illuminated by their respective battery pack when the ARM switch is moved to the TEST position.
CAUTION: The emergency lighting system is designed for limited operation and
should not be operated unless there is an actual emergency.
(5) Should the emergency lights be turned on inadvertently, or should the system fail, the MANUAL
test switch may be used to manually control the emergency exit lighting system. This switch
allows control over the emergency lighting system regardless of RH generator bus status or
G-switch position. When the emergency exit lights are turned on with the MANUAL switch, the
battery packs continue to charge from the RH generator bus. The switch is spring-loaded to the
NORM position and also utilizes a lever lock to prevent the operator from accidentally turning
the system OFF.
(6) Each emergency exit light assembly is equipped with a TEST-ON, RESET-OFF switch to
individually test that unit. The switch is placed in the TEST-ON position to illuminate both the
interior and exterior emergency exit floodlights.
B. JAR-OPS Emergency Exit Lighting System (Optional on UE-185 and After, Installed at Factory or With
Kit 129-5314-1) (Ref Figure 3 and Figure 4).
NOTE: This equipment is installed on airplanes operating in accordance with Joint Aviation

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
The emergency exit lighting system is a self-activating self-contained lighting system designed to
provide emergency lighting to the interior areas around the cabin door and three emergency exits.
Three lighting modules are located in the headliner of the cabin: one opposite the cabin door, one
opposite the right forward emergency exit, and one between the left and right emergency exits.
Each module is equipped with two light sources. A dim light source, which is illuminated during normal
operations, is powered from a 28 volt circuit breaker located on the center bus under the floorboards.
The other, brighter light source is powered by four internal alkaline batteries and is controlled by two
switches. One is an internal "g" switch which activates upon sensing rapid deceleration in the forward
direction. The other is an external three-position rocker switch (spring-loaded to the center position)
placarded ON-TEST-/OFF-RESET. The light illuminates when the switch is momentarily placed in the
ON-TEST position. The light extinguishes when the switch is momentarily placed in the OFF-RESET
position.

1. General
A. Description
(1) Airstair door and emergency door exit signs are manufactured with T-lights. These lights are
sealed glass tubes filled with tritium gas and are phosphor-coated internally. In principal T-lights
produce light in much the same way as television tubes or luminous watch dials; no exposure to
daylight is necessary. T-lights have a useful life of many years; however, FAA regulations require
a minimum operational brightness of 100 microlamberts. Periodic brightness checks must be
conducted to ensure that the brightness level remains at or above 100 microlamberts. Refer to
Model 1900 Airliner Series Airworthiness Limitations Manual, P/N 129-590000-133.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. General
A. Description
(1) The pitot and static air pressure system (Ref. Figure 1) provides a source of impact air pressure
and static air for operation of the instruments, the flight data recorder, air data computer and air
data sensors. The pitot portion of the system utilizes the pitot/static masts, located on each side
of the upper fuselage nose. The impact air pressure entering the masts is transmitted through
separate tubing to the two airspeed indicators, the air data computer and the air data sensors.
The flight data recorder (Ref. Chapter 31) mounted in the cargo compartment receives pitot
pressure from only the copilot's pitot/static mast. The pitot/static mast is the lowest point in each
line from the instrument panel and provides drainage for that portion of the system. The test
port valves drain the plumbing forward of the FS 84.00 bulkhead. Drain valves in the skin of the
fuselage near FS 468.25 provide drainage for the flight data recorder pitot/static plumbing. Two
circuit breaker switches on the left inboard subpanel control the heating elements that prevent
the openings in the pitot/static masts from becoming clogged with ice which would cause the
indicators to register erroneous readings.
(2) The static portion of the system includes the pitot/static masts, located on each side of the upper
fuselage nose and the alternate static ports on the lower sides of the fuselage at FS 120.00 and
WL 83.00. Static air from the pitot/static masts is routed through separate tubing to the pilot's and
copilot's instantaneous vertical speed indicator, encoding altimeter, and airspeed indicator on
the instrument panel, to the air data computer and air data sensors in the avionics compartment
and to the flight data recorder in the cargo compartment. Copilot static air is also routed to the
pneumatic pressure indicator (Ref. Chapter 36) located on the copilot's subpanel. The cabin
differential pressure indicator (M1), located above and forward of the control pedestal, and the
cabin pressure differential switch (S122, Ref. Chapter 21), located under the instrument panel,
receive static pressure from the alternate static source. Should abnormal or erratic instrument
readings indicate that the normal static source is restricted, the alternate static air source is
used. Alternate static air is routed from these static ports through tubing to the pilot and copilot
alternate static air selector valves. The alternate static air selector valves are located on the
pilot's and copilot's sidewalls below and aft of the instrument panel. When the alternate air
source is required, the toggle switch is moved from the NORMAL to the ALTERNATE AND
DRAIN position on the pilot's or copilot's alternate static air selector valve. The need for drain
valves in the flight compartment area is eliminated since the alternate static ports are located in
the lowest point in each line from the instrument panel. A drain valve in the static line for the
flight data recorder is installed in the airplane skin just aft of FS 468.25. A circuit breaker switch
located next to the pitot/static mast switches controls heating elements that prevent the alternate
static ports from freezing over.
(3) Static air pressure ports installed on both sides of the fuselage at FS 535.50 provide static air
pressure to the cabin pressurization outflow valves. Refer to Chapter 21-30-00 for information
of this system.

B. Installation
(1) Perform PITOT/STATIC MAST ELECTRICAL CONTINUITY TEST procedures in this section
prior to installation.
(2) Remove the protective covers from airplane fuselage, pitot/static hoses (1, 2 and 3) and electrical
connector (4) (Ref. Figure 203, Sheet 1 of 2).
(3) Place the gasket (13) on the base of the pitot/static mast (5) (Ref. Figure 203, Sheet 2 of 2).
(4) Connect the airplane pitot/static hoses (1, 2 and 3) and electrical connector (4) to the pitot/static
mast (5) (Ref. Figure 203, Sheet 1 of 2).
(5) Install pitot/static mast (5) through the opening in the fuselage and secure with four screws (12)
(Ref. Figure 203, Sheet 2 of 2).
(6) Perform PITOT/STATIC MAST HEAT TEST procedure in this section.
NOTE: Allow sufficient time for the Pitot/Static Mast to cool before proceeding with Step (7).
(7) Temporarily install the upper (6) and lower (7) half doors. Use masking tape to mark a line
where the outside contour of the door halves meet with the pitot/static mast (5). Remove the
door halves and apply a bead of sealant (2, Table 2, 34-00-00) to the pitot/static mast (5) as
shown (Ref. Details B and C- C Figure 203, Sheet 1 of 2).
(8) Install upper (6) and lower (7) half doors, ensuring the sealant (2, Table 2, 34-00-00) on the
pitot/static mast does not protrude beyond the outside edge of the doors. Secure door halves
with door screws (10 and 11). Remove masking tape from pitot/static mast (Ref. Figure 203,
Sheet 2 of 2).
(9) Remove the red tag from BATT switch and perform BATTERY CONNECTION procedure (Ref.
Chapter 24-31-00).
(10) Perform PITOT SYSTEM TEST and STATIC SYSTEM TEST procedures in this section.
C. Electrical Continuity Test
The purpose of this test is to ensure continuity of the heating element and to verify that no short exists
in the circuit.
NOTE: If any one of the following three Steps fail, DO NOT INSTALL this pitot/static mast (5) in
the airplane (Ref. Figure 203).
(1) With a suitable ohm meter check that continuity exists between pins A and B of the pitot/static
mast (5).
(2) Check from pin A to the case of the pitot static mast (5) to ensure that continuity DOES NOT
exist.
(3) Check from pin B to the case of the pitot static mast (5) to ensure that continuity DOES NOT
exist.
D. Heat Test
3. Pitot System
A. Test
The purpose of this test is to verify that there are no leaks in the entire system sufficient to induce a
significant error in the airspeed or altitude indications. Note that NO instrument or avionics unit may
be disconnected or any break made in the plumbing which would result in an untested point.
(1) Cap both pitot/static masts (3 and 9) (Ref. Figure 201) with pitot/static Adapters (2, Table 1,
34-00-00). Do not cover the static ports on the pitot/static masts while performing this test.
(2) Position the pitot/static Leak Tester (1, Table 1, 34-00-00) in the pilot's compartment (so the
operator can see the instruments).
(3) Connect a shop air source to the test equipment.
(4) Remove the dust cap from the pilot's pitot system test port (4) and connect the hose from the
test equipment to the port. The pitot/static system test ports are located on the aft edge of the
lower forward avionic shelf at FS 57.50. Access is through the avionic compartment left door
(Ref. Figure 201).
(5) Open the pilot's pitot test port valve and close the coupler valve on the test box, then open the
pressure needle valve to slowly increase pressure in the pitot system until the airspeed indicator
registers 90% (270 knots) of the maximum reading.
(6) Close the pressure valve to isolate the pitot system and observe the airspeed indicator. If the
system retains the pressure for a period of five minutes, there are no leaks in the pitot lines.
NOTE: Alternate static air valves for the pilot and copilot are located on the left and right
sidewalls of the flight compartment and are placarded NORMAL and ALTERNATE
AND DRAIN.
(9) Separate tests should be performed on the pilot's static air system, pilot's alternate static air
system, copilot's static air system, and the copilot's alternate static air system. While performing
the pilot's and copilot's static air system test, the alternate static air valve must remain in the
NORMAL position. While performing the pilots and copilots alternate static air system test, place
the alternate static air valve in the ALTERNATE AND DRAIN position for the side being tested.
The alternate static air valve for the other side must be in the NORMAL position.
(10) Slowly open the suction valve while observing the panel instruments for response. The coupler
valve can be adjusted to delay the pressure change in the pitot system, thus causing the airspeed
indicator to read upwards to near half scale.
(11) When the required altitude reading is attained, the pitot and static system pressures will become
equalized and the airspeed indicator will return to zero.
CAUTION: Excessive leakage in the static system can cause the airspeed
indicator to run backwards, which will damage the indicator.
(12) To prevent the airspeed indicator from running backwards due to excessive leakage, make a
preliminary leak check at 1,000 feet above the airplane pressure altitude to determine any loose
connections.
(13) Close the suction valve and observe the altimeter for 30 seconds. After verifying there are no
leaks, continue to increase altitude to the airplane altimeter reading indicated in Figure 202 (5.0
psi of vacuum).
(14) Close the suction valve and observe the airplane altimeter for one minute. The acceptable
altitude loss may be determined from the graph in Figure 202.
NOTE: The acceptable altitude loss over a one minute period is 2% of the difference
between the altimeter reading before and after application of 5.0 psi of vacuum to
the static system.
NOTE: In Step (9) the alternate static air selector valve on the side being tested must be
placed in the ALTERNATE AND DRAIN position (the other side must be in the
NORMAL position) and remain there.
CAUTION: At the completion of this test the alternate air selector valve must
be placed in the NORMAL position for both the pilot's and copilot's
systems.
(20) Upon satisfactory completion of these tests, remove the test hoses from the test ports and install
the dust caps.
(21) Disconnect the shop air from the test equipment and remove the test equipment from the pilot's
compartment.
(22) Remove the tape from the alternate static air source ports located on each side of the lower
fuselage at FS 120.00. Clean the static ports.
(23) Remove the pitot/static Adapter (2, Table 1, 34-00-00) from the pitot/static masts (3 and 9)
located on the left and right side of the fuselage nose (Ref. Figure 201).
(24) Be certain the alternate static air selector valves are in the NORMAL position.
7. Pitot Heads
A. Inspecting
Over time the high temperatures the probe heads reach, when the heater is used on the ground,
will darken the entire probe heads. This darkening is a natural oxide layer protecting the heads from
corrosion. In some cases over time, contaminates can break down this oxide layer, attack the base
metal and cause a gradual roughening of the contour surfaces.
1. General
A. The following subchapters describe the instruments and equipment that furnish data concerning
outside air temperature, altitude, air speed, vertical speed and the relation of the airplane to a specific
location. Some of this equipment furnishes data to the navigation equipment described in 34-20-00.

1. General
A. The airspeed indicator (M143) shows the airspeed of the airplane continuously in knots per hour.
The instrument has two pointers, one showing the airplane's indicated airspeed (IAS) and the other
showing the maximum allowable airspeed (MAAS). The range of indication is 40 to 300 knots.
Airspeed reference markers ("bugs") are installed on the bezel at 82.5 knots, 102.5 knots and 127.5
knots.
B. The airspeed indicator receives impact air pressure and static air pressure for operation (Ref. 34-
11-00). The indicator requires 28 VDC power for the face light and the overspeed warning circuit.
The airspeed indicator has an overspeed warning switch that sounds a warning tone through the
audio system when the pitot air pressure exceeds the maximum speed for a given altitude and the
IAS pointer has overlapped the MAAS pointer. The overspeed warning circuit can be checked by
pressing "up" on the test switch (A224S9) located on the copilot's inboard subpanel. Refer to Figure

NOTE: Steps (10) thru (14) may be repeated as necessary to obtain an accuracy of ±
10° at each 30° heading.
1. General
The airplane is equipped with two identical Collins RMI-36 radio magnetic indicators; one on the pilot's
instrument panel, one on the copilot's instrument panel (Ref Figure 1). The RMI is an internally lighted,
panel-mounted, dual-needle indicator that displays the airplane gyro-stabilized magnetic-heading
information to either VOR or ADF stations. Each pointer is read against the compass card with a fixed
lubber (index) line. Each pointer operates independently and can be switched to separate ADF or VOR
receivers. A compass flag is used to show loss of power, compass invalid condition, and servo error.
The RMI's derive their power from the airplane 28-VDC and 26-VAC electrical power systems. Each
indicator is protected by circuit breakers. The pilot's and copilot's circuit breakers are located in the right
sidewall circuit breaker panel.
With the RMI operational, the pilot has the option of displaying heading information from NAV System
No. 1, NAV System No. 2, or the ADF System. A choice of ADF or VOR heading information on the
single needle is made by placing the single needle pointer button on the front of the indicator in the ADF
or VOR position and selecting the desired input information on the RMI VOR/ADF remote switch next
to the indicator. Compass information is displayed by the servoed compass card. The pointers will be
stored in a horizontal position with VOR selected when the NAV signal is invalid, or when the selected
NAV receiver is turned OFF.

A. Collins VIR-32 Navigation Receiver
(1) The Collins VIR-32 navigation receiver provides VOR, localizer and glideslope deviation,
magnetic bearing to the station, VOR to-from information, marker beacon lamp signals, and
VOR and marker beacon identification audio signals. Frequency and/or channel selection is
controlled by the Collins CTL-32 NAV control unit.
(2) The airplane has two navigation receivers which are designated as NAV 1 and NAV 2. Nav 1
operates the VOR bearing pointer, deviation pointer, NAV warning flag and TO-FROM pointer
on the HSI for the pilot and sends a VOR bearing signal to both the pilot's and copilot's RMI.
NAV 2 operates the VOR bearing pointer, deviation pointer, NAV warning flag and TO-FROM
pointer on the HSI for the copilot and sends a VOR bearing signal to both the pilot's and the
copilot's RMI. An audio signal is sent to the audio control system when an ILS signal is being
received. The marker beacon outputs, which are provided by NAV 1/NAV 2, display to the pilot's
and copilot's marker lights.
(3) The radio navigation system (including RMI) receives and displays automatic VOR information
and provides signals to display ILS and manual VOR data transmitted from VOR/LOC and
ILS ground stations for enroute and terminal navigation. When the VOR mode is selected,
the navigation system receives and displays magnetic bearing and relative bearing on the RMI
and detects course deviation and to-from data for depiction by the flight director. When the ILS
mode is selected, the RMI bearing pointer parks in an unused horizontal position. The navigation
system receives and processes the ILS data to provide input signals for the flight director and
marker beacon lights.
(4) When tuned to and within range of a VOR station, the radio navigation system receives course
and bearing information. Sine/cosine azimuth data is provided for display of the airplane position
with respect to the station or to courses to the station, and VOR identifier signals are sent to the
audio system. The VOR signals, received and processed by the navigation receiver system,
consist of reference phase and variable phase signals. The two signals are in phase at magnetic
north, and the phase shift at any other direction from the VOR station is an equal signal in degrees
to the bearing from the station. This generates VOR radials that radiate from the station. The
VIR-32 navigation receiver receives and processes the composite VOR signal for display of VOR
bearing and course information on the navigation instruments (RMI and flight director).
(5) The VOR/LOC receiver operates 200 channels in the frequency range of 108.000 to 117.95 MHZ.
When selecting a localizer frequency/channel, a corresponding glideslope frequency/channel is
automatically selected. The VOR/LOC signals are received by a pair of VOR/LOC antennas.
The antennas are connected to both NAV receivers.
(6) The two NAV receivers are located on the right side of the airplane in the nose avionics section.
The antennas are located one on each side of the vertical stabilizer. The NAV control units are
located in the instrument panel; one on the pilot's side, the other on the copilot's side.

1. General
A. Description
(1) The Collins DME system is used as either a single DME or a dual DME system.
(2) The distance measuring equipment (DME) system electronically measures distances and
displays them on the pilot's and copilot's EHSI.
(3) The Model 1900D airplane may be equipped with dual Collins DME-42 distance measuring
equipment system which consists of two receiver-transmitters, two EHSI screens, two antennas
and two NAV controls.
(4) The DME system measures the line-of-sight distance from the airplane to a preselected ground
station; VOR/DME, VORTAC, TACAN, etc. The distance information received from the DME
is slant range distance and not actual horizontal distance. The DME transmits the coded
interrogation signals (paired pulse at a specific spacing) to the ground station. The maximum
measure range of the DME-42 is 300 nautical miles. However, the range capability of a DME
is limited by the airplane altitude, obstructions such as hills or mountains, and the earth's
curvature.
(5) Distance is displayed on the pilot's and copilot's EHSI, and an audio tone is transmitted to the
audio control system.
(6) The DME system provides 252 frequency channels, a distance display range of 0.0 to 299.9
nautical miles, a transmitter frequency range of 1,025 to 1,150 MHz, and a receiver frequency
range of 962 to 1,213 MHz.
(7) The DME system can simultaneously track and provide complete information from up to three
DME stations. The information displayed on the EHSI includes, distance, ground speed, time-
to/from-station, and the station identifier.
(8) The DME receiver-transmitters are located on the left side of the airplane in the nose avionics
section. The EHSI screens are the lower of the four EFIS screens, one on the pilot's side, the
other on the copilot's side of the instrument panel. The two NAV controls are located in the
instrument panel, one on the pilot's side and one on the copilot's side. The two DME antennas
are located in the center of the belly of the airplane, one just aft of the entrance door, the other
just aft of the forward side of the cargo door.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
OXYGEN - GENERAL
1. Oxygen System
The oxygen system is designed to provide an adequate flow of oxygen for two pilots and 19 passengers
for approximately 60 minutes at an altitude of 25,000 feet. The system is manually actuated by the pilot
using push-pull cable controls. The control on the left side of the pilot's subpanel (OXYGEN - PULL ON)
actuates both oxygen cylinder valves to pressurize the crew system and the plumbing up to the passenger
system shutoff valve (Ref. Figure 1). The other control (CABIN OXYGEN - PULL ON), is below the pilot's
flight control wheel. To provide the passengers with oxygen, both controls must be pulled to ON. The
oxygen system has two gaseous type oxygen cylinders that are equipped with pressure regulator/shutoff
valves. The regulators are set to deliver oxygen at a constant regulated pressure.
A. Crew Oxygen System
The oxygen system furnishes regulated oxygen to the crew masks at 70 ± 10 psig (Ref. Figure 1). The
crew is provided with a constant flow mask that is manually turned on or an optional quick donning
diluter/demand type mask. Refer to Section 35-10-00 for information concerning the crew masks,
crew system operation and low pressure test of the crew system.
B. Passenger Oxygen System
The passenger oxygen system furnishes oxygen to 19 passenger locations when turned on by the
pilot (Ref. Figure 1). Refer to Section 35-20-00 for information on the passenger masks, operation of
the passenger system and low pressure test of the passenger system.
C. Oxygen Cylinders and Pressure Regulators
The airplane has two oxygen cylinders mounted one on either side of the nose wheel well under
the floor of the avionics compartment. The cylinders are of composite construction manufactured in
compliance with DOT-E-8162-1850 regulation. The cylinders have a nominal capacity of 77.9 cu. ft.
(2205 liters) each and are pressurized to 1850 psig.
The oxygen cylinder is equipped with a combination regulator, shutoff valve and high pressure relief
valve. The shutoff valve shuts off pressure to the low pressure port. The high pressure gage port has
a quick-disconnect valve that requires a special attaching coupler that releases the pressure after the
coupler is attached. The fill port has a check valve to prevent a reverse flow of oxygen. The high
pressure relief port has a frangible disc which will rupture at a pressure of approximately 2775 psig
at 70°F to vent the oxygen overboard through the overboard discharge indicator port. The regulated
output from the regulator is up to 300 liters per minute-normal temperature pressure dry (NTPD) at
70 ±10 psig pressure with cylinder pressures of 200 to 1850 psig. The regulator has an internal low
pressure relief valve that prevents downstream pressurization from entering the cylinder.
D. Overboard Discharge Indicators
The overboard discharge indicators, one for each cylinder, are mounted flush with the skin on both
sides of the nose approximately 2 1/2 inches forward of the FS 84 bulkhead at BL 18. A low pressure
60 ± 20 psig disc is installed in the overboard discharge port to prevent contamination from entering
the oxygen system. The indicator line is connected to the high pressure relief fitting of the pressure
regulator. When the high pressure relief disc in the regulator ruptures, the indicator disc is blown out
of the indicator port.
CAUTION: Should an overpressure condition occur (2775 psig), the oxygen cylinder
must be replaced.

Two oxygen cylinder pressure gages are mounted on the copilot's right subpanel to indicate the
pressure of each cylinder. These gages indicate the cylinder pressure as long as the gage line is
connected to the cylinder. These gages are lighted and indicate from 0 to 2000 psig in 100 psig
increments. The oxygen cylinder pressure gage lights receive power from the CB25 OVHD AND
CONSOLE LIGHTS circuit breaker through the master cockpit lights switch on the overhead light
control panel. A gage indicating pressure to the cabin masks is mounted at the right side of the
instrument panel. This gage is lighted and indicates from 20 to 70 psig in 10 psig increments. The
cabin oxygen pressure gage receives power from the CB21 FLIGHT INST LIGHTS circuit breaker
through the master cockpit lights switch on the overhead light control panel. A cylinder pressure gage
is mounted next to the fill valve so the servicing personnel can monitor the amount of oxygen pressure
in the two cylinders. This gage is not lighted. It registers from 100 to 2000 psig and is marked in 50
psig increments.

1. Oxygen Cylinder
A. Positive Pressure Check
WARNING: Avoid making sparks and keep all burning cigarettes or fire away
from the vicinity of the airplane. Make sure that your hands, tools,
and clothing are clean, particularly with respect to oil or grease,
for these contaminants will ignite upon contact with pure oxygen
under pressure. As a further precaution against fire, open and
close all oxygen valves slowly.
The oxygen cylinders are located along both outboard sides of the nose wheel well. Access is gained
by removing the avionics compartment floor.
NOTE: An oxygen system cylinder without any internal positive pressure is empty. A slight
positive pressure would not be considered empty. If a cylinder is empty it must be
removed, inspected and cleaned per SAE-ARP1176.
(1) Loosen the cabin low pressure line at the oxygen cylinder regulator.
(2) Disconnect the oxygen regulator control cable from the regulator.
(3) Slowly open the cylinder valve.
(4) If positive pressure is detected perform the following Steps:
(a) Close the cylinder valve.
(b) Connect the oxygen regulator control cable to the oxygen regulator.
(c) Tighten the cabin low pressure line at the oxygen cylinder regulator.
(d) Perform the OXYGEN SYSTEM SERVICING procedure contained in this section.
(5) If positive pressure is not detected, remove the oxygen system cylinder for inspection by
performing the OXYGEN CYLINDER REMOVAL procedure contained in 35-00-01. Inspect and
clean per SAE-ARP1176.
2. Oxygen System
A. Servicing
WARNING: Avoid making sparks and keep all burning cigarettes or fire away
from the vicinity of the airplane. Make sure that your hands, tools,
and clothing are clean, particularly with respect to oil or grease,
for these contaminants will ignite upon contact with pure oxygen
under pressure. As a further precaution against fire, open and
close all oxygen valves slowly.
NOTE: Refer to Advisory Circular 43.13-1B for the additional servicing precautions recommended
by the FAA on the oxygen systems.
Determine cause of oxygen system pressure loss, i.e. test, leak or crew write up due to oxygen
use. The system should be purged any time system bottle pressure drops to zero
psi. Refer to OXYGEN CYLINDER POSITIVE PRESSURE CHECK, and/or OXYGEN
SYSTEM PURGING instructions in this section.
(1) Access to the pressure gage and filler valve of the oxygen system is gained through an access
door located on the left side of the nose section below the avionics compartment door (Ref.
Figure 201). A screwdriver is required to unlock the 1/4 turn fasteners securing the access door.
WARNING: Make sure that both the airplane oxygen system and the
servicing equipment are properly grounded before servicing
the system.
(2) Ground both the airplane oxygen system and the servicing equipment to a common ground in
the ramp.
(3) Remove the protective cap from the filler valve.
WARNING: When filling the oxygen system, use only aviator's breathing
oxygen (2, Table 2, 35-00-00). Do not use oxygen intended
for medical purposes, or industrial purposes such as welding.
Such oxygen may contain excessive moisture that could freeze
in the valves and lines of the oxygen system.
(4) Attach the hose from an oxygen recharging cart to the filler valve.
(5) To prevent overheating, fill the oxygen system slowly by adjusting the recharging rate with the
pressure regulating valve on the cart. At a temperature of 70° F, the cylinders should be filled
to 1,850 psi. This pressure may be increased an additional 3.5 psi for each degree of increase
in temperature; conversely, for each degree of drop in temperature, reduce the pressure for the
cylinders by 3.5 psi.
(6) When the oxygen system is properly charged, shut off the servicing valve slowly, then disconnect
the filler hose from the filler valve and replace the protective cap on the filler valve.
(7) Close the oxygen filler access door and make sure the fasteners are locked.
B. Purging
Offensive odors may be removed from the oxygen system by purging. The system should also be
purged any time the lines are left open. Purging is accomplished simply by connecting a recharging
cart into the system and permitting oxygen to flow through the lines and outlets until any offensive
odors have been carried away. The following Steps outline the procedures recommended for purging
the oxygen system.
WARNING: Avoid making sparks and keep all burning cigarettes or fire away
from the vicinity of the airplane when the outlets are in use.
Inspect the filler connection for cleanliness before attaching it to
the filler valve. Make sure that your hands, tools, and clothing are
clean, particularly of grease or oil stains, for these contaminants
may ignite upon contact with pure oxygen. As a further precaution
against fire, open and close all oxygen valves slowly during filling.
WARNING: When purging the oxygen system, use only aviator's breathing
oxygen (2, Table 2, 35-00-00). Do not use oxygen intended for
medical purposes, or such industrial uses as welding. Such
oxygen may contain excessive moisture that could freeze in the
valves and lines of the oxygen system.
(1) Ground both the airplane oxygen system and the servicing equipment to a common ground.
(2) Open the access panel for the filler valve, remove the protective cap, and attach the hose from
an oxygen recharging cart to the filler valve (Ref. Figure 201).
(3) Open the cabin door, then actuate the system by pulling out the OXYGEN and CABIN OXYGEN
control knobs.
(4) Actuate the crew and passenger oxygen outlets by removing the lanyard pins.
(5) Set the cart pressure regulator to deliver 200 psi of pressure to the system and turn the valve
on slowly.
(6) Allow the system to purge.
(7) If any offensive odor remains continue to purge.
(8) If such odors still remain, replace the airplane's oxygen cylinders.
(9) After the system has been adequately purged, service the system.
C. Plumbing Maintenance
(1) Apply anti-seize tape (7, Table 2, 35-00-00) to tapered threads of male fittings. Do not allow the
tape to enter the inside of the fitting. Do not apply to female fittings.
(2) Apply a thin film of grease (8, Table 2, 35-00-00) to the straight threads of male fittings. Do not
apply to the first two threads. Do not apply to the female fittings. Do not allow grease to get
inside the fittings.
(3) When the oxygen system plumbing has been connected after maintenance, the new connections
should be checked for leakage by applying leak detector fluid (3, Table 2, 35-00-00), to the
connections and pressurized. Wipe dry immediately after testing.
(4) When connections leak, check that they are tightened to the proper torque value for that fitting.
If this does not stop the leakage, disassemble the connection and check all mating surfaces for
damage. Smooth rough mating surfaces if possible to provide a tight connection or install new
fittings.
1. Oxygen Cylinder
A. Removal
The oxygen cylinders are located along both outboard sides of the nose wheel well. Access is gained
by removing the avionics compartment floor (Ref. Figure 201).
WARNING: Avoid making sparks and keep all burning cigarettes or fire away
from the vicinity of the airplane. Make sure that your hands, tools,
and clothing are clean, particularly with respect to oil or grease,

1. General
A. The crew oxygen system is actuated by pulling the OXYGEN-PULL ON control that is located beneath
and to the left side of the pilot's subpanel. This pressurizes the oxygen lines with regulated pressure
and flow up to the crew masks that are located in the ceiling above the pilots. The crew system can be
used without initiating the passenger system. Refer to 35-00-00, Figure 1, for an illustration showing
the oxygen plumbing, controls, components and location of the masks.
B. Crew Oxygen Masks - Constant Flow(UE-1 thru UE-299 without Kit 129-5032 Installed)
(1) The crew has constant flow phase dilution-type masks that include an integral dynamic
microphone with impedance of 100 to 500 ohms (Ref. Figure 1). The crew mask regulator
provides from 3.7 to 3.9 liters per minute at normal temperatures of dry (NTPD) oxygen at
an inlet pressure of 70 ± 10 psig. Access to the crew masks is accomplished by manually
opening the mask compartment cover and removing the mask. The mask compartment cover
is secured in place with Velcro tape. Oxygen flow to these masks is controlled by removing a
lanyard pin. The force required to pull the lanyard pin out should not exceed 4 pounds with the
system pressurized. The mask has a positive flow device visible to the user during operation.
To stop the flow of oxygen, insert the lanyard pin in the mask valve.
C. Crew Oxygen Masks - Optional Diluter Demand(UE-1 thru UE-299 without Kit 129-5032 Installed)
(1) The optional, crew oxygen mask is a quick-donning diluter/demand type with a pneumatic
harness (Ref. Figure 1). The masks are stowed in an open overhead container. The
quick-donning mask has a miniature mask-mounted diluter/demand-type regulator providing
automatic air dilution, 100% manual control, an emergency position, and press-to-test capability.
The masks are equipped with a dynamic microphone.
(2) The mask and pneumatic harness can be donned with one hand and functioning within 5
seconds. To don the mask, pull it from the open overhead container and inflate the pneumatic
harness by pressing on the harness inflation control valve (red ears). Oxygen pressure is
used to inflate the harness. Place the harness over the head with the face piece over the
face. The inflation lever enables the user to adjust harness tension by adding or reducing the
amount of pressure in the harness until optimum comfort is attained regardless of head size.
To begin oxygen flow, place the N/100% (NORMAL/100%) regulator control in the desired
operating position. An oxygen pressure detector on the mask hose indicates GREEN with
proper pressure or RED with low pressure.
D. Crew Oxygen Masks and Smoke Goggles(UE-1 thru UE-299 with Kit 129-5032 Installed; UE-300 and
After)
(1) The crew oxygen mask is a diluter/demand type with a mask vent valve (Ref. Figure 2). The vent
valve is used in conjunction with smoke protection goggles. The mask has a diluter/demand-
type regulator and is equipped with a dynamic microphone. The crew oxygen mask are stowed
in an overhead container. To begin oxygen flow, place the regulator manual select switch to
the desired operating position. An oxygen flow indicator on the mask hose indicates CLEAR
with proper flow and RED with no flow. The manually operated push-pull vent valve is used in
conjunction with the regulator emergency pressure feature to divert a small flow of oxygen from
the mask cavity into the smoke goggle cavity to vent smoke or fumes which may be present in
the smoke goggle cavity. The smoke goggles are stowed above the crew members head on the
forward cabin partition.

WARNING: Avoid making sparks and keep all burning cigarettes or fire away
from the vicinity of the airplane. Inspect the filler connection for
cleanliness before attaching it to the filler valve. Make sure your
hands, tools, and clothing are clean, particularly of grease or oil,
for these contaminants may ignite upon contact with pure oxygen
under pressure. As a further precaution against fire, open and
close all oxygen valves slowly.Make sure the airplane oxygen
system and the servicing equipment are properly grounded before
servicing the system.
(1) Be sure the OXYGEN control knob is pushed in completely (oxygen supply is shut off).
(2) Verify the system is completely installed and that all fittings are torqued to standard torque values.
(3) Connect a jumper harness and test gage (1 and 2, Table 1, 35-00-00) between the low pressure
port and the low pressure line to the left side cylinder (Ref. Figure 201, Sheet 2 of 3 and Sheet
3 of 3).
(4) Disconnect the low pressure line from the right side cylinder and immediately plug the line to
protect the system from contamination.
(5) Cap the output port of the right cylinder or disconnect the control cable which connects to the
valve lever.
(6) Working inside the airplane, disconnect the oxygen lines from the crew mask container
assemblies and immediately cap each open line with a clean fitting.
(7) Open the valve on the jumper hose.
(8) Pull the OXYGEN control knob to ON and allow pressure in the lines to reach 70 to 85 psig.
(9) Allow 2 minutes for pressure in the system to stabilize, then close the jumper hose valve to trap
pressure in the system.
(10) Push in the OXYGEN control knob to shut off the cylinder valve.
(11) Verify the pressure does not drop more than 5 psig in 15 minutes.
NOTE: Use the leak detector fluid sparingly on the fittings and wipe dry immediately after

(16) Pull out the OXYGEN PULL ON control knob, carefully apply leak detector fluid to the regulator
fitting and the crew and auxiliary mask container fittings. Verify there are no leaks.
(17) Push in the OXYGEN PULL ON control knob, turning off the oxygen supply.
NOTE: If the mask has an inflatable harness, make sure the flow indicator on the hose turns
white (or green) and then red within a few seconds. This shows that the harness is
leak-tight in the inflated condition.
(3) Place the mask over the head and face. If the mask has an inflatable harness, release pressure
on the inflation control. The harness should deflate and secure the mask snugly to the face.
(4) Breathe with the regulator in N or NORM or NORMAL (dilution) position. Then place control in
100% position. In each situation, check breathing on the indicator.
NOTE: The following test shall be performed with the control in the 100% position.
(5) Rotate the EMERGENCY knob in the direction of the arrow and take a few breaths. The mask
will pressurize and a positive effort will be required to exhale. Rotate knob back to N or NORM
or NORMAL.
(6) Test the microphone using normal operating procedures.
(7) At completion of test, push OXYGEN control knob OFF (note flow indicator turns red). Check
mask control is set for N or NORM or NORMAL. Stow the mask in the overhead container.
NOTE: Isopropyl alcohol (4, Table 2, 35-00-00) can also be used for cleaning as well as for
disinfecting. Refer to the CREW OXYGEN MASK AND CONTAINER DISINFECTING
procedure.
Should the oxygen masks need cleaning, wipe the surface to be cleaned with a clean, soft, lint-free
cloth that has been moistened with a mild detergent and warm water solution (not to exceed 110°F;
43°C). Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow to completely air dry.
B. Packing
1. General
Refer to Figure 1, 35-00-00 for illustration showing the oxygen plumbing, components, controls and
location of masks. The passenger oxygen system is equipped with an altitude compensated, variable
output pressure regulator mounted on the left side of the airplane just aft of the forward pressure (F.S. 84)
bulkhead. This regulator supplies the passenger mask system with an output pressure schedule that is
keyed to the existing cabin pressure altitude. This pressure schedule ranges from approximately 21 psig
at 10,000 feet to 58 psig at 25,000 feet altitude, resulting in mask flow rates of 1.4 to 2.9 liters per minute
(normal temperature pressure dry), respectively. The oxygen masks for 18 passengers are located on the
outboard sidewalls of the airplane above each passenger's head. Those seated next to an escape hatch
will find the mask located to the rear of the hatch. The oxygen mask(s) for the center passenger at the aft
end of the cabin is located in the ceiling directly above the passenger.
To operate the passenger system, the OXYGEN control knob must first be pulled to ON. When the CABIN
OXYGEN control knob is pulled ON, a surge valve momentarily bypasses the altitude compensated
regulator, applying 70 psig oxygen pressure to the passenger mask container assemblies. The high
pressure operates an actuator that opens the oxygen mask container door, allowing access to the oxygen
mask. Instructions for using the oxygen mask are shown on the door when it is open. The surge valve
then closes, reducing the high pressure in the line. The altitude compensated regulator then controls
pressure to the passenger mask container assemblies. In order to allow oxygen flow from the mask, a
lanyard pin must be pulled out of the oxygen inlet valve.
When the CABIN OXYGEN control knob is pushed in, the passenger oxygen system is turned OFF. The
high pressure downstream of the shutoff valve is released by the vented shutoff valve and the surge valve
is reset. To stop the flow of oxygen to a passenger mask, insert the lanyard pin in the oxygen inlet valve.
A. Passenger Oxygen Mask
The passenger oxygen mask is an airline conical constant flow type with FAA TSO-C64 approval.
When the passenger system is actuated, the initial high pressure surge operates an actuator that
opens the door. The door actuator requires a pressure of 30 to 55 psig to operate it. After removing
the mask from the container, a lanyard pin must be pulled from the oxygen inlet valve. The force to
pull the lanyard pin shall not exceed 4 lbs. maximum with the system pressurized. With the oxygen
turned on, the mask supply tube contains a positive flow indicator that is readily visible to the user
when the mask is being worn. To shut off the flow of oxygen to the mask, install the lanyard pin in the
oxygen inlet valve (Ref. Figure 1).

WARNING: Avoid making sparks and keep all burning cigarettes or fire away
from the vicinity of the airplane. Inspect the filler connection for
cleanliness before attaching it to the filler valve. Make sure your
hands, tools, and clothing are clean, particularly of grease or oil,
for these contaminants may ignite upon contact with pure oxygen
under pressure. As a further precaution against fire, open and
close all oxygen valves slowly.
(1) Be sure that the OXYGEN control knob is pushed in completely (oxygen shut off). Connect a
jumper hose and a test gage between the low pressure fitting and the low pressure line to the left
side cylinder. Disconnect the low pressure line from the right cylinder and plug the line. Cap the
right cylinder port or disconnect the control cable which connects to the valve lever (Ref. Figure
201, Sheet 2 of 2).
(2) Disconnect the Altitude Compensator from the oxygen bottle system by removing the left oxygen
bottle plumbing line and the cabin plumbing line from the compensator. Be certain the RH bottle
is capped. Connect a jumper hose (1, Table 1, 35-00-00), from the LH bottle plumbing to the
cabin plumbing and cap both fittings on the Altitude Compensator (Ref. Figure 202).
(3) Pull the OXYGEN control knob to the ON position.
(4) Open the valve on the jumper hose.
(5) Pull the CABIN OXYGEN control knob to ON and allow pressure in the system to reach 70 ± 10
psig. Observe that all 19 passenger masks have deployed. Do not pull any of the lanyard pins
from the oxygen mask valves.
(6) Allow 2 minutes for pressure in the system to equalize, then close the valve on the jumper hose
to trap pressure in the system.
(7) Push in (off) on the OXYGEN control knob.
(8) After 15 minutes, the pressure should not have dropped more than 5 psig.
(9) If the leakage is excessive, apply leak detector fluid (3, Table 2, 35-00-00). Use the fluid sparingly
on the fittings and wipe dry immediately after testing.
NOTE: Oxygen pressure is required to open the oxygen inlet valve when the lanyard
pin is pulled. However, the relatively low oxygen pressure supplied by the
altitude compensated regulator at field elevations may not be adequate to
initiate flow at all masks. Masks not showing flow at field elevation may be
checked at higher cabin altitudes (up to 10,000 feet maximum) for acceptance.
(5) Push the CABIN OXYGEN control knob to the OFF position.
(6) Push the OXYGEN control knob to the OFF position.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
PNEUMATIC - GENERAL
1. Pneumatic System
The pneumatic system uses bleed air from the third stage (P3) each engine compressor. One engine can
supply sufficient bleed air to operate all the systems requiring pressurized air. During operation with one
engine inoperative, a check valve in the bleed air line from each engine prevents flow back through the
line on the side of the inoperative engine. A normally open shutoff valve is installed in the bleed air line
just inboard of each nacelle and is closed in the event that a line ruptures down stream from the valve.
A pressure regulator valve reduces the high pressure engine bleed air to a lower pressure suitable for
operation of the various systems and components. A manifold, which distributes regulated pneumatic air
to the various uses, follows the pressure regulator valve. An ejector attached to the end of the manifold
produces the vacuum required to operate systems or components requiring a vacuum. A pressure gage
calibrated in pounds per square inch indicates air pressure available to operate the various systems. The
pressure gage is located on the right side of the copilot's subpanel. Refer to Figure 1 for the following
uses of pneumatic pressure. Regulated pneumatic pressure (17.5 to 19 psi) is used to:
• Pressurize the landing gear hydraulic reservoir (Ref. Chapter 32-30-00).
• Produce a vacuum (Ref. Chapter 37-00-00).
• Operate the bleed air warning system (Ref. Chapter 26-11-00).
• Operate the brake deicing overheat warning system (Ref. Chapter 32-42-01).
• Operate the surface deicing system - provides pressure and vacuum to inflate and deflate the deicer
boots (Ref. Chapter 30-10-00).
• Turn on the flight hour meter.
Unregulated high pressure bleed air from the engine of compressor P3 outlet is used to:
• Operate the pneumatic system in this chapter.
• Operate the environmental systems (Ref. Chapter 21-11-00).
• Operate the brake deicing system (Ref. Chapter 32-42-01).
• Operate the fuel purge system (Ref. Chapter 28-00-00).
• Provide pressure to make the preflight environmental system pressure test (Ref. Chapter 21-30-00).
The pneumatic system is operated with bleed air from the P3 stage of the engine compressor. P3 bleed air
leaves the engine compressor at approximately 800°F. The fuel purge and brake deice systems use the
hot P3 bleed air. The cabin pressurization and heating system regulates the hot P3 air with a precooler
and two valves. The bleed air going to the pneumatic system pressure regulator valve is a mixture of
precooled air and hot P3 air and will be reduced to approximately 70°F above the temperature of the
ambient air by the time it reaches the pneumatic system manifold. The cooled bleed air is routed aft from
the F.S. 261.22 bulkhead through a bleed air shutoff valve and a check valve to the bleed air pressure
regulator valve. The pressure regulator valve reduces the high pressure engine bleed air from 17.5 to
19.0 psi. The regulated air pressure flows into the pneumatic manifold where it is distributed to the various
uses. Air flow through the ejector produces the vacuum required to operate the deicing system, the cabin
pressurization control system and the instruments. The pneumatic air that flows through the ejector is
dumped overboard through a tube extending through the lower skin of the fuselage.
A. Pressure Regulator Valve
The pressure regulator valve serves two purposes. It regulates incoming bleed air from 17.5 to 19.0
psi and, as a safety feature should the regulator fail, the valve is equipped with a pressure relief feature
that will actuate at a pressure of 21 ± 1 psi. Ordinarily, the regulator valve will not require adjustment,
since each unit is calibrated at the factory; however, the regulator valve is equipped with an adjusting
stud should field adjustment be necessary. Refer to MAINTENANCE PRACTICES for adjustment
instructions.
CAUTION: Do not exceed the recommended 17.5 to 19.0 psi regulator setting
because higher settings will result in excessive wear on the relief valve.
B. Pneumatic Bleed Air Shutoff Valves

BEECHCRAFT®
MODEL 1900D AIRLINER
MAINTENANCE MANUAL
The pneumatic system incorporates pneumatic bleed air shutoff valves in the bleed air line from each
engine. The valves are normally open and are closed when the BLEED AIR VALVES switches located
on the copilot's inboard subpanel are placed in the INSTR & ENVIR OFF position. These shutoff valves
close off engine bleed air aft of the nacelle firewall if there is a bleed air line breakage downstream of
the valves. The shutoff valves are "fail safe" in that they open when there is a loss of electrical power.
A vent hole is in the bottom of the valve to drain any moisture that might collect. If the vent becomes
plugged, the moisture could collect and freeze, preventing operation. Since hot bleed air is exhausted
through the vent, there should not be anything below the valve that would be damaged by the hot air.

(8) Tighten and safety the locknut, then shut down the engine.
NOTE: Check the vacuum (suction) gage for a reading of 5.9 inches Hg. since adjustment
of the pressure regulator valve may affect system suction enough to necessitate
readjusting the vacuum regulator valve; however, ascertain that the air filter for the
vacuum operated instruments is clean and free of lint or foreign material prior to
making any adjustment of the vacuum regulator valve (Ref. Chapter 37-00-01).
CAUTION: Any time the Pitot/Static System is opened (i.e. Differential Pressure Gage,
Differential Pressure Switch or Pneumatic Pressure Indicator removed or
Installed) the effected System Test procedure (PITOT SYSTEM TEST,
STATIC SYSTEM TEST) must be accomplished (Ref. Chapter 34-11-00,
201).

VACUUM - GENERAL
1. Vacuum System
The vacuum system furnishes vacuum to operate the surface deice system (Chapter 30), the copilot's
vacuum suction gage, and the cabin pressurization control system (Chapter 21). The vacuum is produced
by an ejector that is operated by the pneumatic system (Chapter 36) using bleed air from the engines. To
produce the vacuum, pneumatic air is passed thru the ejector venturi which draws air from the vacuum
system regulator valve, the instrument air filter, the cabin pressure controller and the cabin pressure
pneumatic relay. Each of these components has filtered inlets that must be cleaned or replaced at a
scheduled time (Chapter 5-20-00). The vacuum is regulated by a vacuum regulator valve that admits
into the system the amount of air required to maintain sufficient vacuum (4.3 to 5.9 in. Hg.) for proper
operation of the vacuum operated systems and components. The vacuum regulator valve is installed on
the forward side of the pressure bulkhead (FS 84) and to the right side at approximately WL 95. The
instrument air filter is mounted on the forward side of pressure bulkhead (FS 84) to the right of the airplane
centerline at WL 118.55 and is connected to the air intake manifold.
The surface deicer system (Chapter 30) uses vacuum to deflate the deicer boots after being inflated by
pneumatic pressure. The surface deicer distributor valve is located on the forward side of the ejector.
The cabin pressurization control system (Chapter 21) uses vacuum to operate the controller and outflow
valves. This system has its own vacuum regulator valve that reduces the vacuum to 3.75 to 4.75
inches Hg.
The instrument air inlet ports are plumbed to the air intake manifold that is connected to the instrument
air filter. The port on the end of each manifold is plumbed to the vacuum gyro suction gage. Refer to
Figure 1 for the plumbing schematic.
CAUTION: Permit no oil, grease, pipe compound, or any foreign material to enter the
gyros. Be certain that all air lines are clean and free of foreign particles and/or
residue before connecting lines to the gyros. Do not use thread lube on gyros
with plastic housings and threads. Do not exceed 20 inch-pounds of torque
on the fittings.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. General
A. Description
(1) An optional electric flushing toilet with an external servicing facility is located at the rear of the
passenger compartment. The toilet is a removable unit mounted on a rigid aluminum frame by
means of detachable tie rods (Ref. Figure 1).
(2) The entire toilet structure (except for motor and wiring) is constructed of chemically resistant,
heavy duty plastics, stainless steel and noncorrosive metals. The toilet bowl is constructed of
highly polished stainless steel. All mating junctions of the tank and bowl are sealed.
(3) The toilet unit is mounted over a sewage drain and is cleaned by opening the tank drain valve,
which allows waste material to empty into the sewage drain. The inside of the tank is rinsed by
connecting a water hose to the service panel on the exterior of the airplane.
(4) The flushing cycle is initiated by pressing and releasing a timer button adjacent to the toilet which
actuates a motor-driven pump and filter for a pretimed interval. During the timed cycle, flushing
liquid cascades in a thin curtain over the complete inner surface of the toilet bowl from a flush
channel surrounding the upper rim of the bowl. Waste material is carried directly to the tank and
prevented from reentry by means of a separator in the bottom of the bowl. Flushing liquid is
filtered out of the tank through the filter and is pumped up to the flush channel surrounding the
toilet bowl. The motor, pump and filter are designed as a single modular assembly, referred to
as a cartridge, which can be removed and replaced if overhaul or maintenance is required.
(5) The toilet electrical system is powered by 28 vdc received from the LH GEN BUS through the
TOILET circuit breaker. A two-position toggle switch located on the right inboard subpanel is
provided to open or close the circuit to the toilet. When the switch is in the FURN ON position,
power is applied to the furnishings control relay from the LH GEN BUS through the CONT FN
BUS circuit breaker. This energizes the relay and closes the circuit to the toilet. When the switch
is in the OFF position, the furnishings control relay is de-energized, opening the circuit to the
toilet (Ref. Figure 2).

1. Structures
A. Structural Repair
WARNING: In the pressurized area, all skins, formers and stringers are
structural members, and it is essential that the structural strength
of the pressure vessel be maintained. A cabin pressurization
test must be performed after any structural repair to the pressure
vessel.
(1) Never make a skin replacement or patch from a material thinner than the original skin.
(2) All lap joints, including patches, must have at least two staggered rows of rivets.
(3) All repair material must be free of any defects such as nicks, gouges and/or scratches.
(4) Never dimple a structural member by driving the rivet head into the part.
(5) Do not countersink deeper than 75% of the material thickness.
(6) Inspect and repair the acrylic plastic windows as directed in Chapter 56-20-01.
B. Sealing
Because this airplane is pressurized, sealing the skin and bulkhead seams, the windows, doors, etc.
is of prime importance. Control cables and torque shafts have removable rubber seals. When making
a structural repair or modification which creates a break in the pressure vessel, the mating surfaces
must be sealed with the proper sealer. All other components penetrating the pressure vessel or
attached to it must be sealed with the proper sealers described in Chapter 20-10-00. For effective
bonding of sealers, be sure to thoroughly clean all mating surfaces, mating parts and rubber seals.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
DOORS - GENERAL
1. Doors
A. Forward Airstair Door
(1) The airstair door provides cabin security for flight and a convenient stairway for entry and exit.
The forward plastic-encased cable and handrail assembly and the aft plastic-encased cable
handrail assembly provide support for the airstair door in the open position, a hand hold for
passengers, and a convenience for closing the door from the inside. A rubber seal around the
airstair door positively seals the pressure vessel while the airplane is in flight. The swing-down
airstair door is hinged at the bottom and is equipped with a counterbalance assembly to lower
the airstair door gradually during opening.
(2) The latching mechanism for the airstair door is operated by inner and outer interconnected
handles. The handles on either side of the door are attached to cable drums. When a handle
is rotated, cables attached to the drums wind or unwind in response to the handle movement.
The cables from the handle are routed around splined drums at each of the camlock latches on
the forward and aft sides of the airstair door. The splines in the drum engage splines on the
camlock shafts of the latch so that rotation of the drum, when actuated by the cable from the
handle, rotates the face of the latch to engage the latch post installed in the door frame. The
latch cables are adjusted by turnbuckles to a tension sufficient to ensure proper latching and
unlatching of the airstair door in response to handle movement. A splined cam on the ends of
the camlock shaft opposite the latch face actuates switches mounted on brackets at the lower
latches to indicate when the airstair door is closed and latched.
(3) Whenever the door is opened by either the outer or inner door handle, the lock-release button
adjacent to a door handle must be depressed before the handle can be rotated to unlock
the airstair door. The lock-release button acts as a safety device to help prevent accidental
opening of the airstair door. As an additional safety measure, a differential-pressure-sensitive
diaphragm is incorporated into the lock-release button mechanism. The outboard side of the
diaphragm is open to atmospheric pressure, the inboard side to cabin air pressure. As the
cabin-to-atmospheric pressure increases, the diaphragm moves outboard and locks the door
handle.
B. Emergency Exit Doors
(1) The airplane has three emergency exit doors located at the third RH and the fifth RH and LH
cabin windows. From the inside, the emergency exit door is released with a pull-down handle
placarded EXIT PULL, and on the outside the door is released with a flush mounted pull-out
handle. The door is of the nonhinged plug type which removes completely from the frame
when the latches are released. From the inside, the emergency exit door can be locked by
installation of a lock pin to prevent opening from the outside. The inside handle will not unlatch
the emergency exit door when locked by the ground lock pin. The lock pin must be removed
prior to flight to allow removal of the door from the outside in the event of an emergency.
(2) On the lower frame of the emergency exit door opening are two lugs which hold the lower section
of the door in place. On each side of the frame are three adjustable lugs set to engage three
stationary lugs on each side of the door to prevent the door from being pushed out past the
airplane contour when the cabin is pressurized. A quick-disconnect electrical plug located in the
lower left corner of the door will permit quick and safe disconnection of the light circuitry on the
door.
C. Cargo Door
(1) The cargo door is hinged at the top and incorporates a bottom latching mechanism. Gas springs
charged with nitrogen are attached to the door frame and to brackets on each side of the door for
automatically opening the door after the initial opening force is applied. Two small gas springs,
attached to brackets on the door and on the fuselage structure above the door, cushion the
closing force of the large gas springs on the sides of the door. The door is counterbalanced to
remain in the open position. The gas springs also apply a closing force to assist in closing and
latching the door. A rubber seal is held in place by retainers around the periphery of the door to
effectively seal the pressure vessel when the cabin is pressurized.
(2) The latching mechanism for the cargo door is operated by two interconnected handles, one on
the outside and one on the inside of the door. The handles are attached to cable drums. When
the handles are rotated, cables attached to the drums wind or unwind in response to the direction
52-00-00 Page 1

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
of handle movement. The cables from the handles are routed around splined drums at each of
the camlock latches on the forward and aft sides of the door. The splines in the drums engage
splines on the camlock shafts of the latch so that the rotation of the drum, when actuated by the
cable from the handle, rotates the face of the latch to engage the latch post in the door frame.
The latch cables are adjusted by turnbuckles to a tension sufficient to ensure proper latching
and unlatching of the latches in response to handle movement. A splined cam on the end of
the camlock shaft opposite the latch face actuates switches mounted on brackets at the upper
latches to indicate when the door is closed and latched. The movement of the inside latch handle
fore and aft is transferred by a tube running the width of the cargo door to four latch pins that
engage latch brackets on the door with lugs attached to the doorsill of the fuselage.
(3) To open the cargo door after it is unlatched, push on the bottom of the door. After the cargo
door is manually opened a few feet, gas springs take over and raise the door to the fully open
position.
(4) To close the cargo door, pull it down and inboard. The gas springs will resist the closing effort
until the door is only open a few feet. Then, as the springs move overcenter, they begin applying
a closing force to the door.
(5) The door closes against an inflatable rubber seal around the opening in the cargo door frame.
When the cabin is pressurized, air seeps into the rubber seal through small holes drilled in the
side of the seal. The higher the cabin differential pressure, the more the seal inflates. This is a
passive seal system and has no mechanical connection to a bleed air source.
D. Nose Avionics Door
(1) The nose avionics compartment door has two hinges located at the top which permits the door
to be opened upward. Three latch pins, one located on each side of the door and one at the
bottom, are connected by couplings to a bell crank located at the center of the door.
(2) To open the nose avionics door, unlock the three Dzus fasteners. Raise the door up to the open
position. The door is equipped with a gas spring to assist opening and to steady the door in
gusty winds. To close the door, exert downward pressure to overcome the gas spring. While
holding the door in the closed position, rotate the Dzus fasteners to the locked position.
E. Cargo and Airstair Door Warning
(1) The warning system for the cargo and cabin entrance (airstair) doors utilizes ten switches, five
on the cargo door and five on the airstair door, to indicate that all door handles and latches are
safety positioned when the doors are closed and latched. Two separate switch circuits are used
to illuminate the FWD CABIN DOOR and AFT CABIN DOOR lights in the warning annunciator
panel to indicate that the cargo and airstair doors are not properly secured.
(2) The circuit for the cargo door is wired in parallel through the doorsill, forward and aft camlock
latch, latch handle and the latch pin switches to send a signal to the annunciator fault detection
card assembly, which in turn activates the AFT CABIN DOOR light in the warning annunciator
panel to indicate that any one of the switches is not actuated. The doorsill, forward and aft
camlock latch and the latch handle switches on the airstair door are wired in the same manner
as the switches on the cargo door to illuminate the FWD CABIN DOOR light on the warning
annunciator panel.
(3) The camlock switches utilized in both circuits are actuated by a cam attached to the shaft of
the camlock latch that is rotated by the cable and handle drums; consequently, these switches
sense the rotary motion of the handle and subsequent movement of the cables when the door
is being locked or unlocked. If the cable breaks or the switch actuator or cam fails, the switch
will return to the normally closed position to indicate an unlocked condition.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
1. Airstair Door
A. Removal
(1) Remove all electrical power from the airplane. Disconnect the battery.
(2) Disconnect the electrical connector adjacent to the door hinge.
CAUTION: Check that the nut on the bolt securing the base of the door cable
post is installed toward the center of the door to prevent the handrail
from hanging up under the bolt.
(9) Unlock the door and check that the door free falls from fully closed to fully open within 5 seconds.
C. Rigging
(1) Remove the forward and aft upholstery panels on the airstair door as necessary to gain access
to the latching mechanism.
(2) Shim the airstair door with spacer blocks taped to the door at the eight latch points so that the
outside contour of the door matches that of the fuselage.
NOTE: An undercontour of 0.06 inch between the airstair door skin and the fuselage skin is
acceptable, but the airstair door skin contour must NEVER be outside that of the
fuselage contour.
(3) With the interior and exterior door handle in the closed position and the pressure lock engaged
by the arm assembly, insert a rig pin through the interior door handle support into the cable drum
(Ref. Figure 201).
(4) If necessary, loosen the jam nut and adjust the rod end of the handle rod until the attaching bolts
can be easily installed.
NOTE: Only the rod end attached to the interior handle is adjustable. After the handle rod is
adjusted to the proper length, check that the threads of the adjustable rod end are
visible in the inspection hole of the rod assembly before tightening the jam nut and
attaching the rod assembly to the handle arm.
(5) Remove the rig pin from the interior door handle support.
(6) Remove upholstery panels and step(s) on the airstair door as necessary to inspect the latch
mechanism cable. Check the latch mechanism cables for clearances.
NOTE: If a latch mechanism cable requires replacement, wrap the cable around each
latch drum and the handle drum so that the retaining pin slot in the drum is aligned
with the drum guide retaining screw on the inboard side of the latch housing (Ref.
Figure 202). This will ensure adequate rotation of the camlock shaft to complete the
latching and unlatching movements of the latching mechanism.
(7) Check latch mechanism cables for clearances, damage, broken strands, corrosion, condition
and security of attachment. Move door handle from open to closed to check entire length of
cables. Replace cables with broken strands.
(8) Rig the latch cables to the tension designated (Ref. Figure 205). Cable tension is adjusted using
the turnbuckles on each side of the airstair door.
(9) After the cable tension has been set, safety the turnbuckle using new locking clips (Ref. Chapter
20-00-00).
(10) With the door handles in the open position, insert the splines of each camlock shaft into the
splines of its respective cable drum so that the cutout in the latch face of the shaft is centered
with respect to the arc made by the latch when the door is closing (Ref. Figure 203).
(11) Engage the splines of each latch cam with the splines on the small end of the camlock shaft
so that the cam just contacts its stop pin (Ref. Figure 202). On the lower aft and forward latch
assembly where the electrical switches are located, back the cam off one spline from the point
where it contacts the stop pin, then install the washer and nut securing it in place. On the
remaining six latches, back the cam off two splines from the point where it contacts the stop pin,
then install the washer and nut securing the cam in place.
NOTE: Any time the camlock shafts are repositioned with respect to the cable drums, the
latch cams must be indexed to the camlock shaft to ensure full travel (90°) of the
latch handles.
(12) Adjust each latch post on the fuselage frame adjacent to the airstair door latches until the latch
post's point of contact with the latch face of the camlock shaft aligns with the closing arc made
by the latch when the door is fully closed (Ref. Figure 204). To make this adjustment, rotate
the eccentric bushing, in conjunction with the eccentric latch post, until the latch post is properly
aligned with the latch, then tighten and safety the nut securing the post in place. A special latch
post wrench (2, Table 1, 52-00-00) is required to adjust the eccentric bushing.
NOTE: Coating the latch post with Contact Indicator (2, Table 2, 52-00-00), or its equivalent,
will facilitate pinpointing its area of contact with the face of the latch.
(13) Perform the AIRSTAIR DOOR SWITCHES ADJUSTMENT procedure (Ref. 52-70-00).
(14) Remove the spacer blocks taped to the door at the six latch points.
(15) Work the door seal into the retainer channel around the periphery of the door.
NOTE: To ensure retention of the seal in the track, the seal may be cemented in place with
translucent adhesive (10, Table 2, 52-00-00).
Multiply the distance in inches from the handle shaft to the attachment point of the pull
gage times the reading in pounds on the gage to measure the inch-pounds of
torque required for actuation of the latch mechanism. If the actuating torque does
not fall within the prescribed limits, readjust the door posts and cable rigging until
the proper torque is acquired.
(16) Attach a pull gage (3, Table 1, 52-00-00) to the outside handle and check the torque required to
operate the latching mechanism while closing the door. The torque required to start rotation of
the handle should not exceed 250 inch-pounds, and the torque required to continue the latching
movement should not exceed 100 inch-pounds.
(17) Check the torque required to operate the latching mechanism while opening the door. The
torque required to start rotation of the handle should not exceed 250 inch-pounds, and the torque
required to continue the latching mechanism movement should not exceed 100 inch-pounds.
(18) Install the forward and aft upholstery panels on the airstair door which were removed to facilitate
latch adjustment.
WARNING: The airstair door must be in the closed position during the
counterbalance assembly removal and installation.
CAUTION: When the counterbalance assembly has been removed from the
airstair door, place a caution on each door handle stating that the
counterbalance assembly has been removed.

(5) Perform AIRSTAIR DOOR HANDRAIL FUNCTIONAL CHECK procedures in this section.
NOTE: While performing this functional check, do not pull on the handrails from the inside
of the airplane to close the airstair door. The handrails should be allowed to move
on their own as the door is closed. Observe the handrail behavior from inside the
airplane as the door is slowly closed by someone outside the airplane.
(a) Inspect the airstair door decals for installation, condition and legibility on the interior and
exterior of the airstair door assembly (Ref. Chapter 11-00-00, REQUIRED PLACARDS).
(b) With weight on the bottom airstair door step, adjust the turnbuckles on the upper handrail(s)
(44) so the stairs are level and the load is shared equally by the forward and aft handrails.
(c) With assistance, observe from inside the airplane the behavior of the airstair door
handrails as the door is closed. The handrails should not interfere in any way with the
operation of the airstair door during closing. If the handrails cause any interference,
disconnect the handrail at clevis (6 or 11) and return to UPPER FORWARD HANDRAIL
INSTALLATION Step (3) and/or UPPER AFT HANDRAIL INSTALLATION Step (2) and/or
LOWER HANDRAIL INSTALLATION Step (4).
(d) With assistance, observe from inside the airplane the behavior of the airstair door handrails
as the door is opened. The handrails should not interfere in any way with the operation
of the airstair door during opening of the door. If the handrails cause any interference,
disconnect the handrail at clevis (6 or 11) and return to UPPER FORWARD HANDRAIL
INSTALLATION Step (3) and/or UPPER AFT HANDRAIL INSTALLATION Step (2) and/or
LOWER HANDRAIL INSTALLATION Step (4).
(e) When no interference is observed, repeat Steps (1) (c) and (1) (d) at least three times
to ensure proper operation of the airstair door handrails. If proper operation cannot be
obtained, it may be necessary to replace one or more of the handrails.
NOTE: Before installing a new door, remove the door seal from around the airstair door
frame.
(2) Place a shim 0.038 to 0.050 inch thick and 8 to 10 inches long into the recessed hinge area on
the bottom of the airstair door.
NOTE: This shim holds the new airstair door skin flush with the fuselage skin once the
airstair door is properly trimmed.
(3) Place the handle of the airstair door in the fully open position. This will allow the eight camlock
latches to align with the latch posts installed in the airstair door frame.
(4) Position the airstair door in the airstair door frame. The excess skin on the door will not allow it
to fit into the recessed frame; however, center the camlock latches on the latch posts as closely
as possible.
CAUTION: Extreme caution must be used during the airstair door skin removal
to prevent removing excess material and creating an excessive
gap between the fuselage skin and the airstair door skin. The
maximum gap between the airstair door and the fuselage is 0.060
inch. Desired gap is 0.040 inch.
(5) Using 2 inch masking tape, tape around the edge of the airstair door opening on the fuselage
skin.
(6) Place the airstair door in the door frame with the latches in position to close with the latch posts.
(7) Place a second layer of 2 inch masking tape over the first layer with outside edges even. Using
a sharp knife, cut along the edge of the airstair door skin.
(8) Remove the airstair door from the door frame and scribe along the tape interior edge on the
airstair door skin.
(9) Using a drill motor with a 40 grit sanding disc attached, remove the excess skin outside of the
scribe line on the airstair door skin edge.
(10) Place four 3/8 to 1/2 inch shims, two on each side, into the recessed opening to support the door
flush with the outside skin of the fuselage.
(11) Tape three 3/8 to 1/2 inch thick shims into the recessed opening to support the top of the airstair
door skin flush with the outside skin of the fuselage.
(12) Using the drill motor with the 40 grit sanding disc attached, remove excess skin until a gap of
0.040 inch is between the airstair door skin and the fuselage skin around the door frame.
NOTE: Repeat the above procedure as many times as required until the sides of the door fit
into the recessed frame.
(13) Once the door fits completely into the opening, check that the camlock latches are centered on
the latch post and latch the door closed. Mate the new hinge to the existing hinge half on the
fuselage frame and install the hinge pin. Use shims as required around the airstair door to keep
it from moving while drilling hinge holes.
(14) Drill twenty three 0.128 to 0.133 inch diameter holes through the door, using the first row of pilot
holes adjacent to the hinge pin as guides. Countersink the holes 100° X 0.230 inch diameter on
the hinge half.
(15) Install #30 Cleco fasteners (minimum of seven) equally spaced to hold the airstair door to the
hinge half. Drill thirty five 0.176 to 0.180 inch diameter holes, using the remainder of the holes
in the hinge half as guides. Countersink the holes 100° X 0.286 inch diameter on the hinge half.
(16) The airstair door can now be opened and closed freely on the hinge. Remove the remaining
excess skin material until the desired gap of 0.040 inch is obtained between the airstair door
skin and the fuselage skin around the airstair door frame.
(17) Remove the hinge pin and the cleco fasteners. Remove the airstair door from the fuselage
frame. Apply Proseal 890 (3, Table 2, 52-00-00) between the hinge half and the door frame.
(18) Position the new hinge half and the lower seal retainer on the door, and align the pilot holes in
the retainer with the twenty three holes drilled in Step (14). Seal between the lower seal retainer
and the door with sealer (3, Table 2, 52-00-00).
(19) Install twenty three rivets through the hinge half and door skin. Install thirty five rivets through
the remaining holes in the hinge half.
(20) Carefully place the airstair door into position, mate the hinge halves, and install the hinge pin.
Install the hinge pin retainers on each end of the hinge with screws.
(21) Install the counterbalance, forward handrail and aft handrail assemblies as instructed in 52-10-
01 and 52-10-02.
(22) Rig the airstair door as instructed in 52-10-05.

1. General
A. Description
(1) The warning system for the cargo and cabin entrance (airstair) doors utilizes ten switches, five
on the cargo door and five on the airstair door, to indicate that all door handles and latches are
safely positioned when the doors are closed and latched. Two separate switch circuits are used
to illuminate the FWD CABIN DOOR and AFT CABIN DOOR lights in the warning annunciator
panel to indicate that the cargo and airstair doors are not properly secured.
(2) The circuits for the cargo door is wired in parallel through the doorsill, forward and aft camlock
latch, latch handle and the latch pin switches to send a signal to the annunciator fault detection
card assembly, which in turn activates the AFT CABIN DOOR light in the warning annunciator
panel to indicate that any one of the switches is not actuated. The doorsill, forward and aft
camlock latch and the latch handle switches on the airstair door are wired in the same manner
as the switches on the cargo door to illuminate the FWD CABIN DOOR light on the warning
annunciator panel.
(3) The camlock switches utilized in both circuits are actuated by a cam attached to the shaft of
the camlock latch that is rotated by the cable and handle drums; consequently, these switches
sense the rotary motion of the handle and subsequent movement of the cables when the door
is being locked or unlocked. If the cable breaks or the switch actuator or cam fails, the switch
will return to the normally closed position to indicate an unlocked condition.

FUSELAGE - GENERAL
1. Fuselage
The fuselage is a conventional semimonocoque construction fabricated from formers, frames, bulkheads
and keels reinforced by longerons and stringers enclosed by skin of high strength aluminum alloys. The
fuselage is fabricated and assembled as a nose/cockpit section mated with three lower panel sections
joined to the right and left clamshell sections of the cabin and terminating in the aft tail section. The wing
and tail sections attach to the major frame members designed for maximum structural integrity.
The main bulkheads are the forward pressure bulkhead (FS 84.00) and the aft pressure bulkhead (FS
557.50). The fuselage between the forward and aft pressure bulkheads forms the pressure vessel. To
minimize loss of pressurization, all skins, doors, windows and structure joints are sealed. In addition, the
plumbing, wiring and control cables pass through the pressure vessel through seals and plug connectors.
The aft section of the pressure vessel is designated as a cargo compartment and is separated from the
passenger area by a removable partition.
Various doors and access openings are provided in the pressure vessel, including access to components
beneath the floor. Location of the proper floor panel or access panel to be removed for maintenance of
individual components may be found in Chapter 06-50-00.
Accomplish all structural repair in accordance with AC43.13-1A AIRCRAFT INSPECTION AND REPAIR
MANUAL and AC43.13-2 AIRCRAFT ALTERATIONS MANUAL.

1. General
Dynamic vibration absorbers are installed in the forward fuselage structure for vibration and sound
reduction in the flight compartment and forward cabin area. These absorbers are installed near WL
120.00 at five locations on the left side and seven locations on the right side of the fuselage between FS
134.00 and FS 246.75 (Ref. Figure 1).
The absorbers are mounted on the airplane's frame and consist of spacers, clips, weights, and leaf
springs. The weights are secured to the leaf springs with bolts, washers, and nuts; and the leaf springs
are secured to the clips with bolts, washers, and nuts.
Twenty-four (24) absorbers, in pairs, are permanently installed on the airplane structure. At installation,
each absorber is tuned to a frequency of 104.6 ± 0.2 Hz. which is determined by a specific propeller
speed at which a vibration or noise exists.

NOTE: Both halves of the dynamic absorber assemblies are marked with decals that denote
the resonant frequency at which the absorber is tuned. Torque paint, applied to the
ends of the weights, leaf springs and mounting hardware, indicates any disturbance of
the weights, leaf springs, or mounting hardware. Any indication of movement requires
retuning the absorber.
(1) Remove the forward closet and forward cabin partitions as described in Chapter 25-20-02.
(2) Remove the flight compartment seats as described in Chapter 25-10-00 and the forward
passenger seats as described in Chapter 25-20-00.
(3) Remove the lower flight compartment sidewall upholstery as described in Chapter 25-10-02.
(4) Remove the upper forward window moldings, the passenger service units and the upper sidewall
panels as described in Chapter 25-20-03.
(5) Mark the location and identify each absorber assembly to ensure reinstallation of each absorber
assembly in the exact same position as removed.
(6) Remove the two nuts, washers, and bolts which secure each absorber assembly to the mounting
clips. Remove the spacers between the absorber assembly and the mounting clips as the bolts
are removed.
(7) Carefully remove the absorber assembly from the clips, taking care not to disturb the weights.
B. Tuning
Tuning of the absorbers must be performed by properly trained personnel using special equipment.
If tuning becomes necessary, contact Textron Aviation Inc. Customer Support Department for
instructions. The absorbers are tuned to a specified frequency and a bead of torque paint is applied
to the ends of the weights and leaf springs by properly trained personnel. Any breakage of the torque
seals necessitates retuning the absorber.
C. Installation
NOTE: Ensure that areas in which the spacers and leaf springs mate are free of primer. Check
cadmium plating for damage. Clean the surface and apply a new coat of cadmium plating
(per Specification QQ-P-416) in areas where damage has occurred. Check the mating
surface for a smooth, flat surface. A change in the mating surface necessitates retuning
the absorber.
NOTE: Ensure that the Dynamic Vibration Absorbers do not contact insulation, wiring, or
other objects after installation.
(5) Install all flight compartment upholstery, passenger compartment upholstery, partitions and seats
as described in Chapters 25-10-00, 25-10-02, 25-20-00, 25-20-02 and 25-20-03.
1. General
A. Flight Compartment Seat Tracks
The flight compartment seats (pilot and copilot) are moveable forward and aft on tracks attached to the
floor. Lock pins are controlled by the seat occupant to adjust and secure the seat in a selected position
on the tracks. The pilot and copilot seats are equipped with support channels that are designed to
move on the tracks while preventing seat and track separation.
Four crew compartment seat tracks extend from FS 118.00 to FS 142.00 along left and right BL 11.00
and BL 21.00. Each seat track is secured to a track support with screws into nut plates on the track
support structure.
B. Passenger Compartment Seat Tracks
The passenger seats are mounted on one floor mounted seat track and one sidewall mounted seat
track in a fixed position. Movement of the seat on the tracks is necessary only during installation and
removal of the seat (Ref. Chapter 25-20-00).

1. Stabilon
A. Removal
(1) Remove the aft cargo compartment liner panel from the aft pressure bulkhead (Ref. Chapter
25-50-00).
(2) Remove the aft pressure bulkhead (Ref. Chapter 53-10-01) and the access panels 311CL and
312CR (Ref. Chapter 06-50-00) on each side of the empennage below the stabilon.
(3) Disconnect the deice tube to the stabilon deice boot.
(4) Remove the screws attaching the stabilon angles to the fuselage and the bolts securing the
stabilon to the splice plates (Ref Figure 201).
(5) Slide the stabilon out of the fuselage.
B. Installation
(1) If the replacement stabilon has attach angles, proceed to Step (3), if angles are not installed,
proceed with Step (2).
(2) Locate, drill and install the upper and lower stabilon attach angles on the stabilon using
adjustable preload fasteners.
NOTE: To determine attach angle location, the stabilon must be properly located on the
fuselage. Stabilon location is determined by comparing measurements from the
stabilon trailing edge tips to the fuselage centerline at the tailcone when the stabilons
are inserted into the fuselage until they are in contact with each other and centered.
CAUTION: If the holes in the stabilon are misdrilled, the stabilon is not
repairable. New angles or splice plates may be matched to an
existing stabilon or a new stabilon may be matched to existing
angles and splice plates.
(3) Slide the replacement stabilon into position in the fuselage.
(4) Locate and mark the hole positions on the attach angles and the stabilon mounting area at the
splice plates.
(5) Remove the stabilon and drill holes. The attach angle to fuselage mounting holes should be
0.193 inch to 0.200 inch in diameter.
NOTE: Once the holes are drilled, the attach angles, stabilon and splice plates are matched
to each other and may not fit another installation.
(6) Install the stabilon and attaching hardware. Torque the splice plate mounting bolts. The locknut
running torque should be determined with a torque meter and that value added to the torque
limit of 30 to 40 inch-pounds.
Example:
Locknut running torque = 15 inch-pounds, determined by observing the torque meter while
turning the nut on the bolt with the locking feature engaged.
• Torque Limit = 30 to 40 inch-pounds.
• 15 inch-pounds + 30 inch-pounds = 45 inch-pounds minimum.
• 15 inch-pounds + 40 inch-pounds = 55 inch-pounds maximum.
(7) Connect the deice tube to the stabilon deice boot.
(8) Install the access panels (Ref. Chapter 06-50-00) and pressure bulkhead (Ref. Chapter 53-10-
01).

B. Installation
(1) Clean the residue sealant off the horizontal stabilizer (6) (Ref. Figure 201).
(2) Place the taillet (3) with the spacers (7) into position in the horizontal stabilizer (6).
1. Elevator
A. Balancing
After repainting and/or repair, the finished elevator must be check balanced to ensure that its static
moment about the hinge line is within the prescribed limits. The static moment for all completed
elevator assemblies must fall within the range of 1.60 inch-pounds nose heavy to 0.80 inch-pounds
tail heavy at the measured moment about the hinge line (Ref. Figure 201). The static moment
of the elevator is determined by multiplying the unbalanced weight of the elevator assembly times
the perpendicular distance from the hinge centerline to the center of gravity when the chord line is
horizontally level. The weight is measured in pounds and the distance in inches. The static moment
of a 100 percent balanced elevator assembly is 0.0 inch-pounds. Tail heaviness indicates static
underbalance while nose heaviness indicates static overbalance.
B. Checking Balance
The balance must be checked in a draft-free area with the elevator completely assembled in flying
condition. All painting, including stripes and touch-up, must be completed. The tab, tab pushrod,
static wicks, and hinge bolts must be attached. The chord line must be horizontally level and the
hinge line must be properly supported when the static moment is measured. Although many different
methods of check balancing exist, they can be categorized under the following two headings:
(1) Counterbalancing - The application of a known force or weight at a measured distance from
the hinge line to counter the unbalance moment of the elevator assembly.
(2) Actual Force Measurement - Measurement of the force applied by the elevator surface on a
single support at a known distance from the centerline of the hinge.
2. Balancing Procedures
(5) Measure the perpendicular distance from the hinge centerline to the point supported by the
spindle. Ensure that the spirit level and rule are removed from the surface and read the reaction
on the beam balance.
(6) Calculate the static unbalance moment M from the formula:
M = D(R-T) inch-pounds where,
D = Perpendicular distance from the hinge centerline to the spindle point (inches).
R = Reaction (pounds) read from the beam balance.
T = Tare, i.e. spindle plus leveling blocks or shims on the scale platform (pounds).
EXAMPLE
D is 10.0 inches, R is 1.100 pounds and T = 1.000 pound
M = 10.0 (1.100-1.000); M = 1.00 inch-pound.
M is within the prescribed range which is satisfactory. If M is not within the prescribed range,
refer to Step (9) of the COUNTERBALANCING METHOD procedures in this section.
C. Equipment Required To Perform Check Balancing By Counterbalancing Method
(1) A stand with knife edge supports (Ref. Figure 201). The knife edges must be in the same
horizontal plane.
(2) A paper cup or similar light weight container.
(3) Approximately 0.5 pound of lead shot.
(4) A certified beam balance weighing device calibrated in units of 0.01 pound or less.
(5) A straight edge, ruler, and spirit level.
D. Counterbalancing Method
(1) Locate the chord line by placing a straightedge at the inboard end of the elevator assembly so
that one end is on the hinge centerline and the other end is centered on the trailing edge. Mark
the chord line with a suitable marker, such as grease pencil, then remove the straightedge.
NOTE: While the hinge centerline is not openly visible, it can be located as follows: With
the hinge clevis properly aligned and tightened, locate the center of the clevis
mounting bolt on the top of the elevator (covered with a plug button) as a reference
point. The hinge line is 1.13 inches forward of this reference point. Mark the hinge
line with a grease pencil.
(2) Secure the trim tab in its neutral position with a small piece of masking tape.
(3) Fit the correct size bolts in the hinge clevises and mount the elevator on the knife edge supports
(Ref. Figure 201). Ascertain that the elevator is free to rotate about the hinge line.
(4) To determine if adjustment weights should be added or removed, suspend a paper cup from a
point near the center of the elevator trailing edge if the balance is nose down or near the inboard
end of the balance weight assembly on the elevator leading edge if the balance is tail down. Use
a short length of small diameter string secured to the surface with a small piece of masking tape
(Ref. Figure 201). The cup must be free to hang vertically.
(5) Add small quantities of lead shot to the cup until the elevator balances with the chord line level.
Check this by holding the spirit level aligned with the marked chord line.
(6) Carefully measure the perpendicular distance D within 0.1 inch from the hinge centerline to the
point of suspension of the cup.
(7) Remove the cup, contents, and string, then weigh them to within 0.05 pound.
NOTE: Since any weighing error is magnified by the distance D, weighing is most important
and must be done carefully on scales that are certified for accuracy.
NOTE: A maximum of four small adjustment weights (P/N 101-610026-5) and seven large
adjustment weights (P/N 101-610026-7) may be added or removed from the
balance weight assembly on the outboard leading edge of the elevator. The steel
cover plate must be installed over the adjustment weights with NAS6703HUXX bolts
(Ref. SB 27-3187). Bolt lengths vary with the number of weights installed. Refer
to Table 201 for the proper attachment bolts. Nut plates are located inside the
elevator assemblies to anchor the bolts. Bolts are torqued 20 to 30 inch-pounds
then safety wired with MS20995C32 wire.

1. Rudder
A. Balancing
When the rudder surface is being repainted, suspend it by the trailing edge so that excess paint will
drain toward the leading edge.
After repainting and/or repair, the finished rudder must be check balanced to ensure that its static
moment about the hinge line is within the prescribed limits. The static moment for all completed rudder
assemblies must fall within the range of 3.00 inch-pounds nose-heavy to 3.00 inch-pounds tail-heavy
at the measured moment about the hinge line. The static moment of the rudder is determined by
multiplying the unbalanced weight of the rudder assembly times the perpendicular distance from the
hinge center line to the center of gravity when the chord line is horizontally level. The weight is
measured in pounds and the distance in inches. The static moment of a 100 percent balanced rudder
assembly is 0.0 inch-pounds. Tail heaviness indicates static underbalance while nose heaviness
indicates static overbalance.
B. Checking Balance
The rudder balance must be checked in a draft free area with the rudder completely assembled in
flying condition. All painting, including stripes and touch-up, must be completed. The tab, tab pushrod,
static wicks, hinge clevises, bonding jumpers and hardware, must be attached. The chord line must be
horizontally level and the hinge line must be properly supported when the static moment is measured.
Although many different methods of check balancing exist, they can be categorized under the following
two headings:
(1) Counterbalancing - The application of a known force or weight at a measured distance from
the hinge line to counter the unbalance moment of the rudder assembly.
(2) Actual Force Measurement - Measurement of the force applied by the rudder surface on a
single support at a known distance from the centerline of the hinge.
2. Balancing Procedures
A. Equipment Required To Perform Check Balancing By Force Measurement Method
(1) A stand with knife edge supports as illustrated in Figure 201. The knife edges should be in the
same horizontal plane.
(2) A certified beam balance calibrated in units of 0.001 lb. or less. The balance should have a flat
weighing platform.
(3) A support spindle similar to the illustration and leveling blocks, as required (blocks + spindles =
tare).
(4) A straight edge, rule and spirit level.
B. Force Measurement Method
(1) Locate the chord line by placing a straight edge at the inboard end of the rudder so that one end
is aligned with the center of the torque tube and the other end is centered on the trailing edge.
Mark the chord line on the rib by grease pencil or other means. Remove the straight edge.
(2) Fit correct size bolts in the outboard and center hinge brackets and mount the rudder on the
knife edges. Ensure that it is free to rotate about the hinge line.
(3) Place a small platform scale under the trailing edge if the control surface is tail-heavy or under
the leading edge if it is nose-heavy.
(4) Place the upper end of the spindle under the trailing edge of tail-heavy surfaces or under
the leading edge of the nose-heavy surfaces. The spindle must be vertical throughout the
balancing procedure. Hold a spirit level against the marked chord line and level it by extending
or contracting the spindle, or by using blocks and shims under the spindle.
(5) Measure the perpendicular distance from the hinge center line to the point supported by the
spindle. Ensure that the spirit level and rule are removed from the surface and read the reaction
on the beam balance.
(6) Calculate the static underbalance moment "M" from the formula:
NOTE: Since any weighing error is magnified by the distance "D", weighing is most
important and must be done carefully on scales that are certified for accuracy.
(9) The complete painted rudder assembly with the tab, tab pushrod, static wicks, hinge clevises,
bonding jumper and hardware, must fall within the range of 3.00 inch-pounds nose-heavy to 3.00
inch-pounds tail-heavy. If the static balance is not as noted, adjustment weights must be added
or removed and the balance rechecked to bring the rudder balance within the required limits.
All weights are identical. Read across from the left column to determine the number and type of
screws for the installation.

A. Special Tools and Recommended Materials
The special tools and recommended materials listed in Tables 201 and 202 as meeting federal, military
or supplier specifications are provided for reference only and are not specifically required by Textron
Aviation Inc. (TAI). Any product conforming to the specification listed may be used. The products
included in these Tables have been tested and approved for aviation usage by TAI, by the supplier,
or by compliance with the applicable specification. Generic or locally manufactured products which
conform to the requirements of the specification may be used even though not included in the Tables.
Only the basic number of each specification is listed. No attempt has been made to update the listing
to the latest revision. It is the responsibility of the technician or mechanic to determine the current
revision of the applicable specification prior to usage of the product listed. This can be done by
contacting the supplier of the product to be used.
CAUTION: When washing the windows, do not use water from a bucket or pail.
Sand, dirt particles or other debris may collect in the standing water and
cause scratches in the plastic.
Use the palm of the hand to feel and dislodge dirt and mud. A soft cloth, chamois or sponge may
be used only for the purpose of carrying water to the surface of the window. After washing, rinse the
window thoroughly with running water and dry it with a clean, moist chamois. Do not rub the plastic
window with a dry cloth because this will cause an electrostatic charge which attracts dust.
Remove oil and grease with a cloth moistened with liquid detergent (2, Table 202), solvent (7, Table
202) or solvent (6, Table 202), then rinse the window with clear water.
After washing plastic windows with soap and water, apply a good grade of commercial wax (5, Table
202). The wax will fill in minor scratches and help prevent further scratches. Apply a thin, even coat
of wax and bring it to a high polish by rubbing lightly with a clean, dry, soft flannel cloth. Never use a
power buffer, as the heat generated by the buffing pad may soften the plastic.
If the windows were cleaned with one of the three commercial cleaners mentioned previously, it will
not be necessary to apply wax. Each of these cleaners contains wax, as well as cleaning agents.

1. Windshield
A. Removal
(1) Cut the sealing compound free from the retainer strip and window frame.
(2) Remove the screws at the front of the windshield (Ref. Figure 201).
(3) Inside the pilot's compartment, remove the screw that secures the ground jumper wire at the
outboard corner of the windshield and detach the power supply lead from the electrothermal
windshield at the corner post. Gently push the windshield panels outward one at a time.
(4) Pull the rubber seal and rubber filler free from the window frame and channel.
(5) Scrape away any remnants of sealing compound, filler or seal that may have adhered to the
window frame.
(6) Wash the window frame and channel with solvent (8, Table 202, 56-00-00).
B. Installation
Proper performance of this procedure should ensure a stress-free windshield installation. Kit 101-
5041-1 provides the parts and detailed instructions for installation of both windshields. Kit 101-5041-3
provides the parts and detailed instructions for installation of either windshield. The windshields are
not part of the kits. In the event of a conflict between the procedures in this manual and the instructions
provided with the kits, the kit instructions should be followed.
Prior to installing the windshield, inspect the windshield frames for old sealer or other obstructions
that could cause the windshield to bind or seat improperly. Check all windshield mounting holes
with a screw to ensure that all nut plates are in alignment and undamaged. It is recommended that
the heating element and temperature sensor resistance of the new windshield be checked. Refer to
WINDSHIELD HEATING ELEMENTS RESISTANCE CHECK procedure in Chapter 30-40-00.
NOTE: After mixing the sealer used to install the windshield, two people must work constantly to
complete the installation of the windshield before the sealer sets up.
(1) Mask off the exterior area around the windshields with masking tape. Mask off the nut plates by
covering the screw holes on the inside of the windshield frames with masking tape.
(2) Cover any exposed windshield glass with masking tape. Press the masking tape around each
of the countersunk holes. Cut the masking tape from the countersink of each screw hole with a
sharp knife until all masking tape has been removed from the screw holes.
(3) Trim the excess protective paper from the inside of the windshield along the raised lip.
(4) Insert AN-15A bolts (10 places) through holes 5, 7 and 12 on the top and bottom and through
holes 4 and 10 on each side of the windshield (Ref. Figure 201). Tape the bolt shanks to hold
them in place with the bolt heads against the inside surface of the windshield (Ref. Figure 201,
View A-A).
(5) Fabricate four guide pins by cutting the heads from 3 inch long AN3 bolts. Insert a guide pin
and secure it in place in hole 1 at the top and bottom of the frame for each windshield half (Ref.
Figure 201).
(6) Using the guide pins for alignment, carefully center the windshield in the frame as evenly as
possible (Ref. Figure 201, View A-A). Check for a minimum clearance of 0.020 inch between
the inside glass and the lower frame member. If necessary, place a shim (drill rod or drill shank
of sufficient diameter) between the edge of the inside glass and the frame near the lower guide
pin. Mark the location of the shim for future reference. If the required clearance cannot be
maintained, or interference between the windshield and adjacent structure is encountered,
contact the Customer Support Department, Textron Aviation Inc., Wichita, Kansas.
(7) With the windshield centered, use a 3 inch long straightedge to match the contour of the
windshield with that of the windshield frame (Ref. Figure 201, View B-B). If the windshield
rocks on the bolt heads, center the windshield as evenly as possible to equalize the free play.
Mark at least four places (one or more on at least three edges) where the exterior surface of
the airplane is level with the windshield frame as shown. If there are not four places that are
level, mark the places where the contours most nearly match and identify them as high or low
in inches as measured.
(8) Remove the windshield from the windshield frame. Remove the ten bolts taped to the windshield.
Remove the shims (if installed in Step (6)). Do not remove the guide pins from the windshield
frame.
(9) Using solvent (8, Table 202, 56-00-00), clean the contact surfaces of the windshield frame and
the new silicone seals. The 50-420066-341 silicone seals are to be applied to the sides and
centers of the windshield frame, the 50-420066-343 seals to the bottom and the 50-420066-345
seals to the top.
(10) Cement the silicone seals flush with the inside periphery of the windshield frame with adhesive
(10, Table 202, 56-00-00) (Ref. Figure 201, View C-C). The ends of the dam material used at
the corners should be butted together snugly.
(11) The 50-420066-347 sponge rubber strips are to be applied to the sides and center of the
windshield, the 50-420066-349 strips to the bottom, and the 50-420066-351 strips to the top.
Apply a 0.25 inch wide strip of cement (17, Table 202, 56-00-00) to the inside periphery of the
sponge rubber strips and apply a similar strip of cement to the windshield between the screw
holes and inside periphery of the windshield where the glass thickens. Cement the sponge
rubber strips to the windshield by matching the cement strip on the rubber to the cement strip
on the windshield glass (Ref. Figure 201, View D-D).
(12) Trim the sponge rubber strips on the ends so that the ends are butted against each other. Trim
the outer edge of the sponge rubber strips until a 0.064 inch overlap is maintained around the
periphery of the windshield (Ref. Figure 201, View D-D).
(13) Fabricate a hollow drill by sharpening one end of a piece of steel tubing with an inside diameter
of 0.064 inch. Cut the tubing to the proper length. Fabricate a drill bushing from a 2 to 3 inch
length of aluminum tubing having an outside diameter that will fit freely into the screw holes in
the windshield and an inside diameter sufficient for insertion and rotation of the drill tube just
fabricated. Insert the fabricated drill and bushing into a screw hole of the windshield to ensure
that the drill will not bind in the windshield mounting holes.
(14) Using the hollow drill with a block of wood as a backup, drill out all the screw mounting holes
through the sponge rubber strips. It may become necessary to punch out the accumulated
rubber from inside the drill.
(15) Mix approximately 1200 grams of sealer (26, Table 202, 56-00-00) in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommendations. Apply a 0.25 inch deep bead of sealer around the periphery
of the windshield frame in the valley between the silicone rubber seals and the frame (Ref.
Figure 201, View C-C).
(16) Using the guide pins installed in Step (5) for alignment, carefully position the windshield in the
frame. Replace the shims removed in Step (8) between the windshield and frame. The shims
are to remain in place until the sealer is completely cured. Start, but do not tighten, all screws
in the open mounting holes. To facilitate installation of the screws through the rubber seals,
lubricate all the screw threads with liquid soap. When installing the screws, carefully note the
depth to which the screws penetrate the frame before actually entering the nut plate. In areas
where the windshield will remain high after installation, screws with a longer grip length will be
required. This can be gaged by visually comparing the amount these screws protrude above the
frame after the marked screws are tightened. As a general rule, holes where the windshield is
more than 1/16 inch above contour will require the longer screws.
(17) Tighten the screws at the locations marked in Step (7) until the windshield is positioned for the
contour match as marked. Do not tighten any of the remaining screws.
(18) Remove the guide pins and install screws in the guide pin holes. Tighten all screws only
sufficiently to seat the screw heads in the countersunk holes of the retainer. Do not tighten the
screws as this could create stress by pulling the windshield tighter into the frame. After these
screws have been seated into the countersinks, the screws tightened in the previous Step
should still be seated and snug against the retainer.
(19) Mask off all screw heads with masking tape and smooth and fair the sealer between the
windshield and windshield frame. Liquid soap may be used to facilitate smoothing the sealer.
Remove the masking tape and clean up the area when through smoothing and fairing the
sealer.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to pressurize the cabin, or tighten the screws until
the sealer has completely cured.
(20) Allow the sealer (26, Table 202, 56-00-00) to cure for at least 30 hours or more as required for
an ambient temperature of 77°F, at 50% humidity.
NOTE: For every 10°F rise in temperature above 77°F, reduce the cure time by half; for
every 10°F below 77°F, double the cure time.
The cure time of the sealer can be accelerated through the use of heat lamps or
circulation of warm air. Do not allow the temperature to exceed 140°F.
Following windshield replacement, the airplane may continue operation unpressurized,
while the sealer achieves a final cure. To allow continued operation prior to final
cure follow Step (21) without deviation, otherwise proceed to Step (22).
(21) The sealant must be in a setting stage (usually 1 to 2 hours after application). Ensure adjacent
surfaces are clean and free of any oily film and apply speed tape (25, Table 202, 56-00-00) as
follows:
CAUTION: The 2 inch wide tape must be applied evenly; centered on the
seal. This refers to the seal between the windshield frame and
the airframe. By following this procedure the tape cannot come in
contact with the windshield glass. Under no circumstance must the
tape be allowed to contact the windshield glass.
(a) Adhere the tape (25, Table 202, 56-00-00) evenly paying particular attention to the edge
sealing.
(b) Flight altitude temperatures may be different than ground or hanger levels and must be
considered when calculating cure time requirements. The aircraft can be pressurized and
tape removed when the appropriate cure time has been achieved.
(c) When sealant cure time is achieved, proceed to Step (22) to complete the windshield
installation.
(22) After the required cure time has elapsed, torque the windshield mounting screws to 20 inch-
pounds. After torquing, check all screws to ensure that the countersunk heads are properly
seated and that all screws are tight. If shims were used between the windshield and frame,
remove them and fill the gap with sealer.
(23) Touch-up paint the windshield area as required. Paint the windshield retainer in the following
manner:
(a) Mask the windshield and surrounding structure with paper or pasteboard masking material.
C. Replacement Criteria
(1) Visibility Impairment: Replace the windshield when areas of delamination are enlarged to the
point of impairing vision, whether or not these areas extend to the edge of the glass. Smaller
delamination appearing as bubbles is no cause for concern. The rate of growth of delaminated
areas should be used as a guide for scheduling windshield replacement.
(2) Heating Impairment Limits: Replace the windshield when the lost heating area exceeds 1/4
to 1/3 of the total heated area.
(3) Cracked Glass :
(a) Applicable to P/N 114-384020-3/4/5/6 Both glass plies are chemically strengthened and
are structural plies. Depending on the stress level on the glass at the time of fracture, the
break pattern will generally be of relatively large size fragments adhered to the interlayer.
Refer to the 1900 Airliner Series Airworthiness Limitations Manual P/N 129-590000-133,
Chapter 04-00-00, CRACKED OR SHATTERED WINDSHIELD.
(b) Applicable to P/N 101-384025-(all dash numbers) If the outboard glass ply should
fracture, the break pattern will generally be of relatively large in size fragments adhered
to the interlayer. If the inboard glass ply should fracture, the break pattern will generally
be of small size fragments adhered to the interlayer. Refer to the 1900 Airliner Series
Airworthiness Limitations Manual P/N 129-590000-133, Chapter 04-00-00, CRACKED
OR SHATTERED WINDSHIELD.
(c) Cracking of the interlayer is usually located in the PPG112 interlayer. Cracking is
caused by moisture attacking the interlayer and causing the interlayer to degrade. The
manufacturer recommends the same criteria be used for this defect as is currently applied
to delamination.
(4) Scratches:
(a) Applicable to P/N 114-384020-3/4/5/6 Scratches or nicks on either surface as deep
as 0.005 inch are considered acceptable as long as vision is not seriously impaired.
Scratches deeper than 0.005 inch require the windshield to be replaced. Refer to the 1900
Airliner Series Airworthiness Limitations Manual P/N 129-590000-133, Chapter 04-00-00,
CRACKED OR SHATTERED WINDSHIELD.
(b) Applicable to P/N 101-384025-(all dash numbers) There are no limits on these defects
for this part numbered windshields as long as visibility is not seriously impaired. Refer to
the 1900 Airliner Series Airworthiness Limitations Manual P/N 129-590000-133, Chapter
04-00-00, CRACKED OR SHATTERED WINDSHIELD.
(5) Glass Adhesion Chips: Glass adhesion chips can occur on the inboard surface of the outer
ply, or the outboard surface of the inner ply. Chips are caused by the vinyl interlayer pulling glass
out of the glass surface and usually form at or near the glass edge. The chip will continue to
expand/propagate until the stress that caused the chip is relieved. A chip in a non-structural ply
is not cause for windshield replacement unless vision is seriously impaired. A chip in a structural
ply causes major glass strength reduction, and is cause for windshield replacement. Refer to the
1900 Airliner Series Airworthiness Limitations Manual P/N 129-590000-133, Chapter 04-00-00,
CRACKED OR SHATTERED WINDSHIELD.
(6) Moisture Damage: The primary cause of moisture ingress is a deteriorated weather seal.
Moisture ingress caused by a deteriorated weather seal will eventually lead to one or all of the
following windshield degradation modes:
(a) Delamination between the glass and PVB interlayer (Separation between glass and
interlayer characterized by a separation line with a different reflection characteristic on
each side of the line). (Ref. Visibility Impairment).
(b) Corrosion of the bus bar - heating wire junctions (black spots at the bus bar - heating wires
interface).
(c) Failure of the electric heating system (lost heating area exceeds 1/4 or 1/3 of the total
heated area). (Ref. Heating Impairment Listing).
(d) Outer glass ply fracture (Ref. Cracked Glass). If the windshield is severely degraded
due to any or all of the above conditions, the useful service life is limited and is cause for
windshield replacement. Refer to the 1900 Airliner Series Airworthiness Limitations Manual
P/N 129-590000-133, Chapter 04-00-00, CRACKED OR SHATTERED WINDSHIELD.
Windshield Installation
Figure 201 (Sheet 1)
2. Anti-Static Tab
A. Installation (Aluminum Frames)
(1) Remove the existing anti-static tab from windshields that have removable tabs (Ref. Figure 202).
Clean the windshield glass with solvent (6, Table 202, 56-00-00). A wood or plastic scraper may
be used to aid in removing the sealer.
(2) Center the new anti-static tab on the mark on the windshield retainer that tested 100 megohms or
less in ten different locations. A 0.59 inch section of the anti-static tab must cover the windshield
glass (Ref. Figure 203). Mark the anti-static tab top end at a point 0.5 inch from the outer side of
the windshield retainer. Drill a 0.0980 inch diameter hole through each side of the tab as shown.
(3) Using the two holes drilled in the anti-static tab as a guide, mark the windshield retainer.
(4) Drill two 0.0935 inch diameter holes at the marks on the windshield retainer. Vacuum the area
to remove the debris created by the drilling operation.
(5) Tap the two holes in the windshield retainer with a No. 4-48 flat bottom tap.
NOTE: If the windshield frame is buffed, buff the anti-static tabs before installation.
(6) Attach the anti-static tab to the windshield with two MS35207-212 screws furnished with the kit.
Mask off the anti-static tab with masking tape so that, when the tab is removed, the periphery
of the tab location will be outlined by the tape. Remove the anti-static tab and lightly sand the
bottom end. Sand the windshield retainer until bare metal is exposed.
(7) Clean inside the masked-off area with solvent (6, Table 202, 56-00-00) and apply a strip of
electrical conductive tape (21, Table 202, 56-00-00) approximately 1.125 inches long. Center
the tape in the masked-off area. Install 0.47 inch of the conductive tape on the windshield glass
(Ref. Figure 203). Press the electrical conductive tape down with finger pressure only.
(8) Clean the bottom surface of the anti-static tab and the top surface of the electrical conductive
tape with isopropyl alcohol. Apply an electrical conductive sealant, such as sealer (22, Table
202, 56-00-00), to the top surface of the electrical conductive tape.
(9) Install the anti-static tab on the windshield retainer. The sealant should flow from under the
edges of the tab. If the sealant does not flow out around the tab, remove the tab and apply
additional sealer.
NOTE: Do not press on top of the tab in an attempt to squeeze out the sealer.
(10) Remove the tape from around the anti-static tab and allow the sealant to cure as recommended
by the product instructions.
(11) Mask off the four sides of the tab, leaving 0.0937 inch clearance between the edge of the masking
tape and the edge of the tab. Mask off the top surface of the anti-static tab. Do not mask the
area between the masking tape and the tab.
(12) Apply adhesive (23, Table 202, 56-00-00) or equivalent to the four sides of the anti-static
tab to provide a weather seal. Remove the masking tape and allow the adhesive to cure as
recommended by the manufacturer's instructions.
(13) If necessary, paint the anti-static tab to match the finish on the windshield retainer frame. Do not
buff the tab after installation on the airplane.
(14) Clean the windshield. Refer to CLEANING WINDSHIELDS procedure in this section.
3. Windshield Anti-Static
A. Coating and Tab Inspection (Aluminum Frames)
Inspect the electrically heated windshields at the interval specified in Chapter 05-20-00.
(1) Turn off all electrical power and disconnect the battery.
(2) Clean the exterior of the windshield glass with solvent (6, Table 202, 56-00-00).
(3) Set the meter range dial on 100 megohms and adjust the needle reading to zero.
(4) If necessary, the finish may be removed from a spot on the windshield frame to expose bare
metal to be used as a ground point.
(5) Attach one meter test lead to the bare metal on the windshield frame. Attach the other test lead
to a copper wire mesh pad, such as a Brillo scrub pad.
(6) Contact the windshield glass with the wire mesh pad. Check the meter reading. If the meter
reading is 0 to 100 megohms in at least 10 different locations, no further action is required. If the
finish was removed from a spot on the windshield frame for this test, repaint the spot to match
the surrounding finish.
NOTE: Resistance between the windshield and windshield frame should not exceed 100
megohms. Consistency in the readings is desirable.
(7) If the meter reading is more than 100 megohms, proceed with the following Steps:
NOTE: Do not remove the windshield from the airplane as a result of this inspection.
Contact the Customer Support Department of Textron Aviation Inc. for consultation.
(8) If some of the readings were more than 100 megohms, draw a diagram noting the locations of
the excessive readings, and contact the Customer Support Department of Textron Aviation Inc.
for consultation.
(9) If all the meter readings were more than 100 megohms, perform the following anti-static tab
inspection Steps:
(a) Remove the meter test lead from the wire mesh pad.
(b) Place the meter test lead on the windshield glass within 0.50 inch of the anti-static tab. Do
not press down on the anti-static tab during this inspection.
(c) If the meter reading is 10 megohms or less as the lead is drawn around the anti-static tab,
the anti-static tab is providing sufficient electrical continuity between the windshield retainer
and the anti-static coating on the windshield glass. If the meter reading is more than 10
megohms, continue with the following Steps.
NOTE: During the following test, ensure that the hands and body are completely
insulated from the airplane, windshield, and meter probes. If more than one
anti-static tab is installed, check each tab.
(d) Connect the meter test leads to wire mesh pads. Place one pad within 0.50 inch of the
anti-static tab. Place the other wire mesh pad in 10 different locations on the windshield
and note the resistance readings. If the 10 resistance readings are 100 megohms or less,
a new anti-static tab must be installed.
(10) If intermittent readings of 100 megohms or less were indicated, repeat Step (9). If all resistance
readings were more than 100 megohms, proceed with the following Steps:
(a) Move the meter test lead and pad approximately four inches away from the edge of the
anti-static tab and within 0.25 inch of the windshield retainer. Hold the pad stationary on
the windshield glass.
(b) Place the other pad and test lead in 10 different locations on the windshield and note the
resistance readings.
(c) Place a mark on the windshield retainer in the vicinity of the stationary pad. At the mark,
write the number of resistance readings that were 100 megohms or less. If all ten resistance
readings were 100 megohms or less, install a new anti-static tab. Center the new tab on
the mark made on the windshield retainer.
(d) If ten resistance readings of 100 megohms or less were not found, move the meter test lead
approximately four inches from the previous test point and take an additional ten resistance
readings with the wire mesh pad. The other meter test lead must remain within 0.25 inch
if the windshield retainer.
(e) At each test point, mark the windshield retainer and record the number of meter readings
of 100 megohms or less. If a point has ten resistance readings of 100 megohms or less,
install a new anti-static tab at that mark. If only intermittent readings of 100 megohms or
less were found, repeat Step (9).
NOTE: If meter readings of 100 megohms were not indicated at any test point, do not
remove the windshield from the airplane until contacting the Customer Support
Department of Textron Aviation Inc. for consultation.
NOTE: It is equally essential that the windshield wipers be thoroughly cleaned. Operating
the wipers when they are dirty is a common source of scratches on the windshield.
Do not attempt to polish out such nicks or scratches in the glass surface.
NOTE: The entire weather seal should be inspected to determine if it is well bonded to
glass and retainer surfaces. If there is evidence that portions of the seal can be
lifted with finger or spatula pressure, the seal must be repaired or replaced. If the
Hump Seal is damaged, a temporary repair (good for seven days) can be made per
TEMPORARY HUMP SEAL REPAIR. This temporary repair will allow the operator
to fly the airplane until it can be scheduled into maintenance such that either a hump
seal repair or hump seal replacement can be carried out. It is essential that repairs
are made as needed to ensure maximum windshield service life.
(2) Thoroughly inspect the weather seal for debonding, cracks, or deterioration. Particular attention
should be given to areas eroded by the wiper blades along the top and bottom of the windshield.
If the seal is damaged or debonded, refer to WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT CRITERIA
procedure, to insure the windshield is serviceable.
NOTE: Weather seals made from silicone material must be repaired with sealer (26, Table
202, 56-00-00). Weather seals made from polysulphide material must be repaired
with sealer (24, Table 202, 56-00-00). It is easy to distinguish the difference between
the seal material used, the silicone seal will be flush with the windshield and frame
surface and will appear translucent white, or a milky color. The polysulphide seals
will be humped over the seal area and appear either gray or black depending on
the date of manufacture.
(3) Repair silicone seals per SILICONE SEAL REPAIR procedure in this section. Repair or replace
the hump seal using Seal Kit 101-5172-1 (LH) or -2 (RH), or perform HUMP SEAL REPAIR/
REPLACEMENT procedure in this section.
NOTE: It is acceptable to repair or replace existing gray or black hump seals, or to replace
gray hump seals with black hump seals on all 1900 Airliner models, except for
some very old models that do not have the latest windshield design. All hump seals
are to be installed per kit instructions.
B. Silicone Seal Repair
Inspect the weather seal between the glass and windshield retainer at the interval specified in Chapter
05-20-00.
(1) Turn off all electrical power to the airplane.
NOTE: At 75°F with 50% relative humidity, sealant (26, Table 202, 56-00-00) is tack free
in eight hours. Cure time is 30 hours. For every 10°F rise in temperature (to a
maximum of 140°F) the cure time is cut in half. For every 10°F decrease the cure
time is doubled.
(5) Allow the sealant to cure before flight, or perform Step (21) of WINDSHIELD INSTALLATION
procedure in this section.
C. Temporary Hump Seal Repair
NOTE: This is a temporary hump seal repair and may be used for a maximum of seven days.
After which time, a permanent repair must be accomplished.
The aluminum speed tape should be only wide enough to ensure full coverage over the
channel between the glass and the frame to prevent the ingression of moisture.
(1) Apply aluminum speed tape (25, Table 202, 56-00-00) to the outside periphery of the windshield.
There are no tape length limitations.
D. Hump Seal Repair/Replacement
NOTE: This procedure applies to installed windshields that have hump seals as the primary
weather seal between the glass and retainer. The seals will be either gray or black
depending on the date of manufacture.
CAUTION: Extreme care must be taken if removing sealant along the bottom of
the windshield and Anti-static grounding tabs (Ref. Figure 202).Be
careful not to abrade or scratch the outer glass ply surface with the
Scotch-Brite pad or sandpaper.
(3) Carefully remove any damaged or deteriorated sealant with a single edge safety razor held at a
very shallow angle, by shaving along the surface. This can be made easier by slightly bending
the razor at the center to insure the corners do not scratch or cut into the outboard glass surface.
All sealant can be removed from the windshield surface with the razor blade. The small amount
of sealant that remains on the retainer can be removed using a Scotch-Brite pad (29, Table 202,
56-00-00) soaked in solvent (6, Table 202, 56-00-00). Clean a small area at a time, followed
by alcohol rinse (6, Table 202, 56-00-00), then dry with a clean cloth. Discard soiled cloths
regularly to prevent depositing contaminants. Sealant in the gap between the windshield and
retainer does not need to be removed and it is permissible to leave a small amount of sealant
on the anti-static tabs.
1. General
A. Storm Window Seals
(1) The primary seal for the storm window is installed onto the inner surface of the fuselage pan
assembly. The seal performs two functions: it keeps the cabin pressure from escaping during
flight and prevents water from entering the cockpit when the airplane is parked.
(2) A newer style storm window includes a secondary seal. This secondary seal is installed on
the outer surface of the window and mates up against the primary seal. The secondary seal
is designed to increase contact pressure and friction on the primary seal, providing improved
noise reduction and leak prevention. This secondary seal can be installed to existing storm
windows as required. Although the secondary seal is designed to improve the sealing of the
storm window, it is possible that in some installations the secondary seal may actually worsen
the seal or increase noise. Because of this, the secondary seal should be considered optional
and may be removed if desired.

multi-ply cabin side windows may be refurbished 0.015 inch to 0.195 inch from the
original thickness of 0.210 inch.
(1) Mask off major portions of the window which are not involved in the refurbishing.
(2) Use wet abrasives only.
(3) Flush the window surface with a liberal amount of water after using each abrasive grade.
(4) Use a straight-line sanding motion and alternate the line of sanding at right angles to cross the
sanding pattern.
(5) Gradually lighten the working pressure on the abrasive as each finer grade is utilized. Do not
exert excessive force on the window pane.
(6) Work a marginally larger area as each finer abrasive is used. Completely remove each previous
sanding pattern before moving to the next finer abrasive.
(7) Do not overheat the acrylic window.
(8) Start the refurbishing procedure with 240-grit wet/dry silicone carbide cloth or equivalent and an
orbital sander. Use this combination until all traces of the damage have been removed.
(9) Use a 320-grit wet/dry silicone-carbide cloth with the orbital sander and work the window until
the 240-grit pattern has been removed.
(10) Repeat Step (9) using 400-grit, 600-grit, 1,800-grit, 2,400-grit, 3,200-grit, 4,000-grit and 6,000-
grit silicone carbide cloth in succession.
(11) Finish the refurbishing procedure using an 8,000-grit, cushioned abrasive cloth or cerium oxide.
(12) Inspect the finished window following the inspection procedure shown in Figure 203 to ensure
that all damage and grit patterns have been removed.
(13) When satisfied that the window has been properly refurbished, apply a small amount of antistatic
cleaner or wax to the window and buff to a high luster. For removal of minor crazing or scratches,
the Micro-Mesh kit (9, Table 202, 56-00-00) is recommended.

WINGS - GENERAL
1. Wings
A. Description
(1) This wing is fabricated and assembled as a one-piece unit spanning from left Wing Station
318.915 to right Wing Station 318.915. The upper and lower main spar caps are continuous
from left Wing Station 215.376 to right Wing Station 215.376. The lower main cap is made
from three extrusions bonded together, with any two of the three capable of withstanding the
limit load. The upper cap of the main spar and the rear spar caps are machined extrusions.
Outboard rear spar caps are joined to the center section caps in permanent joints outboard of
the nacelles. These joints use nested angles as splice plates. Aluminum alloy sheet metal webs
and stiffeners complete the spar assemblies. The primary structural materials in the wing are
2024 alclad aluminum alloy sheet, with 2014, 2024, 7075 and 7175 aluminum alloys used for
forgings and extrusions.
(2) Outboard of the nacelle, the wing is a one-cell semimonocoque box structure of conventional
and metal bonded design. The leading edge assembly and the main section assembly are each
joined to the wing spar by a single row of rivets.
(3) Tubing is routed through the box section to be utilized for wire routing. A subspar is installed
forward of the rear spar from Wing Station 114.25 through Wing Station 159.515 to provide
utilization for control cable routing. Chordwise, the main section tanks extend from the leading
edge skin to the rear spar.
(4) The main and rear spars in the center section of the wing are parallel in the plan view. A subspar
located forward of the rear spar provides a tunnel for control cables and flap drive shafts and
also serves as a fuel wall for the aft side of the center section wet fuel tank. The subspar extends
from the root rib to the nacelle.
(5) The nacelle keel members are machined aluminum alloy plate and incorporate the landing gear
hinge point support structure. Formed sheet metal formers and stringers establish the nacelle
contours and a cavity for the main landing gear.
(6) The ailerons are symmetrical sections, except in the wing tip area. They are hinged at the
centerline and have overhanging aerodynamic balance. Each aileron has a single channel-
section spar as a main structural member. The aileron is attached to the wing at three hinge
points. The aileron spar and skins are 2024 aluminum alclad sheet. An adjustable trim tab is
located at the inboard end of the left aileron.
(7) The single-slotted flaps are fabricated in four sections, one on each outboard wing panel and
one on each side just outboard of the fuselage. The structural material is 2024 alclad aluminum
and 6061 aluminum sheet. Each flap has a single channel section spar. The outboard flap
skins have chordwise beads in both top and bottom skins. The inboard flap skins are beaded
chordwise aft of the spar on the bottom side only. Each flap is mounted on two tracks that are
attached to the wing rear spar. Anti-friction rollers in the flap roll in slots in the flap tracks.

A. Inspection
1. Wing Tip
A. Removal
NOTE: This procedure is typical for the left and right wing tips (552 or 652) (Ref. Chapter
06-50-00). Only the left wing tip will be discussed.
(1) Perform the WING TIP NAVIGATION LIGHT REMOVAL procedure (Ref. Chapter 33-40-02).
CAUTION: If the FA2100 Flight Data Recorder is installed on the aircraft, take
care not to damage the aileron surface position synchro transmitter
attached to the rear spar during the wing tip removal procedure.
(2) Remove the screws (1) securing the wing tip (2) to the rib (3) and remove the wing tip (Ref.
Figure 201).
(3) Remove old sealer from the wing tip (2) and the wing.
B. Installation
NOTE: This procedure is typical for the left and right wing tips (552 or 652) (Ref. Chapter
06-50-00). Only the left wing tip will be discussed.
CAUTION: If the FA2100 Flight Data Recorder is installed on the aircraft, take care
not to damage the aileron surface position synchro transmitter attached
to the rear spar when installing the wing tip.
(1) Position the wing tip (2) on the wing rib (3) and install the attaching screws (1) (Ref. Figure 201).
(2) Perform the WING TIP NAVIGATION LIGHT INSTALLATION procedure (Ref. Chapter 33-40-
02).
(3) Apply sealer (1, Table 1, 57-00-00) to the seam adjacent to the attaching screws (1).
1. Aileron
A. Balancing
After repainting and/or repair, the finished aileron must be checked to ensure that its static moment
about the hinge line is within the prescribed limits. The prescribed limits are 8.80 to 10.00 inch-pounds
nose-heavy. The static moment of the aileron is determined by multiplying the unbalanced weight of
the aileron assembly times the perpendicular distance from the hinge centerline to the center of gravity
when the chord line is horizontally level. The weight is measured in pounds and the distance in inches.
B. Checking Balance
The balance must be checked in a draft free area with the aileron completely assembled in flying
condition. All painting, including stripes and touch-up, must be completed. The tab, tab pushrod,
static wicks, and hinge bolts must be attached. The chord line must be horizontally level and the
hinge line must be properly supported when the static moment is measured. Although many different
methods of check balancing exist, they can be categorized under the following two headings:
(1) Counterbalancing - The application of a known force or weight at a measured distance from
the hinge line to counter the unbalance moment of the aileron assembly.
(2) Actual Force Method - Measurement of the force applied by the aileron surface on a single
support at a known distance from the centerline of the hinge.
2. Balancing Procedures
A. Equipment Required To Perform Check Balancing By Force Measurement Method
(1) A stand with knife edge supports as illustrated in Figure 201. The knife edges should be in the
same horizontal plane.
(2) A certified beam balance calibrated in units of 0.001 lb. or less. The balance should have a flat
weighing platform and its capacity should equal tare plus 2.0 lbs. minimum.
(3) A support spindle similar to the illustration and leveling blocks, as required. (Blocks + spindle =
tare).
(4) A straight edge, rule and spirit level.
B. Force Measurement Method
(1) Locate the chord line at the inboard end of the surface by placing a straight edge at the inboard
end so that one edge bisects the center of the hinge point and the trailing edge.
(2) Mark the chord line.
(3) Place a small platform scale under the trailing edge if the control surface is tail-heavy or under
the leading edge if it is nose heavy.
(4) Place the upper end of the spindle under the trailing edge of the tail-heavy surfaces or under
the leading edge of the nose-heavy surfaces. The spindle must be vertical throughout the
balancing procedure. Hold a spirit level against the marked chord line and level it by extending
or contracting the spindle, or by using blocks and shims under the spindle.
(5) Measure the perpendicular distance from the hinge centerline to the point supported by the
spindle. Ensure that the spirit level and rule are removed from the surface and read the reaction
on the beam balance.
(6) Calculate the static underbalance moment "M" from the formula:
M = D (R-T) inch-pounds where,
D = Perpendicular distance from the hinge centerline to the spindle point (inches).
R = Reaction (Pounds) read from the beam balance.
T = Tare, i.e. spindle plus leveling blocks or shims on the scale platform (Pounds).
EXAMPLE:
D is 10.0 inches, R is 7.680 lbs. and T = 6.780 lbs.
M = 10.0 (7.680 - 6.780); M = 9.00 inch-pounds.
NOTE: Since any weighing error is magnified by the distance "D", weighing is most
important and must be done carefully on scales that are certified for accuracy.
NOTE: If the balance condition is not within the limits stated above, lead adjustment
weights (P/N 118-130000-129) may be added or removed from the forward end of
the inboard closure rib to attain the required balanced condition. A cover plate (P/N
118-130000-127) must be installed over the adjustment weights. If necessary to
meet the conditions of balancing, one or two cover plates may be used without the
addition of weights, or two cover plates in addition to the weights may be used.
However, a maximum of two cover plates and a maximum of 11 weights may be
used.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
PROPELLER - GENERAL
1. General
A. This airplane uses two four bladed propellers of composite construction with standard hubs. Each
constant speed, full feathering, reversible propeller is controlled by engine oil from a single action
engine driven governor. Backing up the engine driven governor is an overspeed governor and a
fuel topping governor, also known as the power turbine governor, which is a component within the
normal or primary governor. Engine oil forced into a cavity inside of the hub between the piston
and the cylinder moves the piston forward through the complete blade range from high to low pitch
position. This linear motion is transmitted from the piston to the blade assembly through a pitch
change rod, slotted fork unit and a blade pitch change assembly. Centrifugal counterweights on
each blade, in conjunction with a feathering spring on the servo piston, increase pitch (decrease
rpm) to the feathered position as governor oil pressure is relieved. The feathering spring completes
the feathering operation when centrifugal twisting moment is lost as the propeller stops rotating. To
further expedite feathering, the normal feathering mechanism is backed by an automatic feathering
system that provides a means of immediately dumping oil from the propeller governor to enable the
feathering springs to start feathering the propeller blades as soon as engine torque meter oil pressure
drops below 3.1 ± 0.6 psi at power settings of 85 to 90% N1.
B. The servo piston of the reversing propeller is connected by four spring loaded sliding rods to a
mechanical beta ring located behind the propeller. The movement of the beta ring is transmitted
by one carbon block through a reversing lever and connecting linkage to a beta valve, which is
positioned to maintain the blade angle while propeller RPM is lower than that of the governor pilot
valve as selected by the control. The reversing lever is also connected to the fuel topping governor
to limit propeller RPM in the reverse position. A push-pull cable extends from the reversing lever aft
to a beta control cam box connected to the power lever control and fuel control unit. Movement of
the controls is transmitted through the beta cam box and interconnecting linkage to the fuel control
unit and governors to regulate propeller speed and pitch.
C. Propeller Settings
(1) Full Feathered Angle is 79°±0.5° at the 42 inch station.
(2) Mechanical Reverse Pitch Stop is -14.5°±0.5° at the 42 inch station (the angle at which the
prop piston just touches the forward beta collar is 18.6°±1° when the blades are held toward the
decrease position at the 42 inch station).
(3) Low RPM is 1200 (at detent).
NOTE: Airplanes operating in very hot weather may experience a situation in which, even
though the Maximum RPM has been set to 1700, it is not possible to maintain 1700
RPM during take off. This situation may occur when the engine oil temperature
exceeds 85°C.
When compensating for this problem only, it is permissible to set the Maximum RPM
to between 1700 and 1735 with the propeller levers full forward and a maximum
of 10 RPM difference between the left and right hand propellers. The engine oil
temperature should be between 85°C and 90°C when setting the propeller RPM to
between 1700 and 1735 RPM.
The propeller synchrophaser does not change governor setting procedures, but the
synchrophaser must be turned OFF while governor settings are being adjusted.

1. Propeller
A. Servicing
PROPELLER HUB LUBRICATION
(1) Remove the grease fittings from the engine half of the hub unit (Ref. Chapter 12-20-00, Figure
203, Detail A) .
(2) To prevent pressurization of the bearing cavity, use a piece of safety wire to loosen any blockage
or hardened grease at the threaded holes where the grease fittings were removed.
CAUTION: Over lubricating an aluminum hub propeller may cause the grease
to enter the hub cavity, leading to excessive vibration and/or
sluggish operation. The propeller must then be disassembled
to remove this grease.Grease must be applied to all blades of a
propeller assembly at the time of lubrication.
NOTE: If a pneumatic grease gun is used, extra care must be taken to avoid excessive
pressure buildup.
(3) Lubricate the propeller in accordance with the appropriate instructions, below:
(a) In-service lubrication : Determine how much is one ounce of grease before lubrication
by pumping grease on a postal scale or small weight scale until one ounce is registered on
the scale.Using a hand operated grease gun, apply approved grease to each lubrication
fitting until grease emerges from the removed lubrication fitting hole in a steady flow or until
a maximum of 1 fl-oz (30 ml) of grease has been applied, whichever comes first.
(4) Install all grease fittings and torque to 50 inch-pounds (5.6 N-m). Making sure that each
lubrication fitting is properly installed and the ball of each fitting is correctly seated against the
opening of the fitting.
(5) Install a lubrication fitting cap over each lubrication fitting.
(6) Make an entry in the Log Book verifying these inspection and lubrication procedures have been
completed.
NOTE: The lubrication interval is an important factor in minimizing internal corrosion (Ref.
12-20-00, Figure 203).
B. Removal
NOTE: Removal and Installation procedures only are presented in the following Steps; further
disassembly and/or overhaul of the propellers must be accomplished by an authorized
propeller shop.
(1) Remove the upper and lower forward engine cowling (Ref. Chapter 71-10-00).
(2) Remove the nuts, washers and screws securing the propeller deicer brush block assembly to
the engine bracket (Ref. Chapter 30-60-00).
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the deicer brushes during and after removal,
tape them in place before removing the brush block.
(3) Remove and discard the screws and steel washers from around the rear circumference of the
spinner dome. Carefully remove the spinner dome and store it to prevent damage.
(4) Disconnect the engine beta linkage and carbon block assembly from the beta ring.
(5) Support the propeller assembly with a suitable sling and a mobile hoist with a capacity of 300
pounds or more.
(6) Install the beta system compression tool (1, Table 1, 61-00-00) (Ref. Figure 201). Pull the beta
ring forward to expose the 12 double hex headed propeller mounting bolts and washers (Ref.
Figure 204).
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the propeller, ensure that tool is not cocked.
Avoid bending or otherwise damaging the spring loaded rods and
the beta ring (Ref. Figure 202).
(7) Remove the safety wire from the propeller mounting bolts.
(8) Remove the 12 bolts and washers securing the propeller, and carefully remove the propeller
assembly from the engine.
NOTE: If the propeller is being overhauled, discard the mounting bolts and washers as new
bolts and washers are to be installed after propeller overhaul.
NOTE: Refer to 61-22-00 for correct propeller synchrophaser pickup installation for left hand
or right hand propellers.
(1) Install the beta system compression tool on the propeller, and compress the beta system to
expose the propeller mounting flange.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the propeller, ensure that tool is not cocked.
Avoid bending or otherwise damaging the spring loaded rods and
the beta ring.
(2) With a suitable mobile hoist and sling with a capacity of 300 pounds or more, carefully move the
propeller assembly up to the mounting flange of the engine.
CAUTION: Ensure the propeller mounting bolts (B-3347) are being installed
and that new bolts and washers are being used after propeller
overhaul.
(6) Install the 12 bolts and washers through the engine flange into the propeller hub flange.
NOTE: The chamfer of washer must face bolt head at installation (Ref. Figure 204, Detail A).
(7) Using torque adapter (3, Table 1, 61-00-00) and a torque wrench, torque all mounting bolts in
sequences and Steps shown (Ref. Figure 203). When an adapter is used with a torque wrench,
compensation must be made for the increased or lost leverage (Ref. Chapter 20-01-00).
(8) Safety all mounting bolts with stainless steel safety wire (0.032 inch diameter).
(9) Decompress and remove the beta system compression tool.
(10) Install the carbon block assembly into the beta ring.
CAUTION: With the carbon brush block held against the beta ring, check the
clearance between the beta ring and the metal retaining clip of the
carbon block assembly. If at any point this clearance is 0.005 inch
or less, replace the carbon block assembly to prevent damage to
the beta ring by the retaining clip. Give clearance between carbon
brush block and beta ring wall at the nearest point. If side clearance
between the carbon block and the beta ring exceeds a maximum of
0.010 inch, the carbon block assembly must be replaced.
(11) Safety wire the beta linkage.
(12) Install the deicer brush block assembly (Ref. Chapter 30-60-00).
(13) Check the propeller reversing linkage on the front end of the engine for operation.
(14) Carefully slide the spinner dome over the propeller and press on the dome to check for adequate
tension between it and the rear propeller bulkhead (Ref. Figure 205).
NOTE: There is adequate preloading in the fit between the dome and the rear spinner
bulkhead when at least 25% of the area of a mounting hole is misaligned with its
matching hole in the outer circumference of the bulkhead in the direction away
from the bulkhead.
(15) If necessary to increase preloading, install spinner mounting spacers over the flange of the
forward spinner bulkhead unit until the spinner dome is pressed firmly against the rear spinner
bulkhead (Ref. Figure 205).
(16) Using new steel washers and screws, attach the spinner dome to the outer circumference of the
rear spinner bulkhead.
(17) Install the upper and lower forward engine cowling (Ref. Chapter 71-10-00).
(18) Perform the necessary engine run up checks.
2. Dynamic Balancing
NOTE: Dynamic balancing frequency should be based on individual operator service experience.
Operators are encouraged to initially implement a dynamic propeller balance program at
intervals not to exceed 1200 service hours. Thereafter dynamic propeller balancing should
be accomplished at appropriate intervals, based on individual operator's field experience, or
any time propeller maintenance is accomplished, which could effect propeller balance; such
as blade repairs. Balancing is also recommended after lubrication. Dynamically balanced
propellers shall be balanced whenever the engine and/or propeller is changed.
Dynamic balancing of the propellers must be accomplished ONLY by personnel who are totally familiar
with the applicable service equipment and data. Personnel must be thoroughly instructed as to the
use and care of the test equipment being used.
Different brands of dynamic balancing equipment are available for purchase and may be used as directed
by the manufacturer of the equipment. When connected properly, the equipment listed below is almost
totally automatic and when connected properly, will furnish step by step instructions on the readout
screen as test procedures are performed. Current Model 1900D Series airplanes are factory equipped
with permanent hardware provisions for propeller dynamic balancing.
The following balancing procedure has been developed for use with the Chadwick-Helmuth Model 8500,
8350 or 192A Vibration Analyzers (2, Table 1, 61-00-00):
A. Test Equipment Required
See Special Tools, (Ref. Table 1, 61-00-00).
B. Test Preparation
(1) Remove the upper forward engine cowling.
(2) Replace the dummy vibration sensor (installed on the bracket on the tach generator) with the
vibration sensor furnished with the balancing equipment (Ref. Figure 206). Install the sensor on
the bracket provided on the tach generator pad so the arrow on the sensor is pointing down.
(3) Disconnect the cable from the dummy connector on the bracket and connect it to the vibration
sensor. Install the upper forward cowling assembly.
3. Test Procedure
Propeller dynamic balancing procedures may be accomplished on the ground or in flight. Generally, better
results are obtained with the in flight procedure since vibration readings are taken when the propeller is
operating at typical cruise flight blade angle and aerodynamic loads. Readings taken during high power
ground running may not be consistently accurate due to blade angle and/or ground buffeting.
A. Ground Test
(1) Perform a normal engine start. Taxi to the run up pad and position the airplane crosswind to
perform the ground balancing procedure.
Spinner Installation
Figure 205 (Sheet 1)
(2) Ground run the downwind engine at the most frequently used parameters for cruise power and
propeller RPM. Press START on the analyzer and the analyzer will automatically acquire a
reading and calculate a propeller solution. Press PRINT on the analyzer to print the solution.
(3) Turn the airplane around so the opposite engine will be on the downwind side. Again run the
downwind engine at the most frequently used parameters for cruise power and propeller RPM.
(4) Press SEL CHART on the analyzer (as indicated by the cursor on the analyzer display) and
switch to the opposite propeller on the switch box. Press START on the analyzer and the
analyzer will automatically acquire a reading and calculate a propeller solution. Press PRINT on
the analyzer to print the solution.
(5) Perform a normal engine shutdown.
(6) Install the weights in the appropriate amount and locations on the propeller spinner bulkhead
(Ref. Figure 207 and Table 201).
(7) Disconnect and remove all test equipment in the flight compartment.
(8) Remove the forward engine cowling and disconnect and remove the vibration sensor from the
tach generator bracket. Connect and install the dummy sensor and install the forward engine
cowling.
CAUTION: Dynamic balancing weights must not exceed a one ounce total in
any one location on the bulkhead. Refer to Hartzell Propeller, Inc.
Manual No. 143A or subsequent for balancing information.
(9) Make appropriate log book entries denoting that the propellers have been dynamically balanced.
Record the amount of weight added or removed, the location and the IPS of the final balance.
NOTE: Table 201 indicates the approximate weight of the balance weights. Select balance
weight screws that are long enough to extend through the stack of balance weights
and into the blade socket shoulder of the split hub unit a minimum of 0.3125 inch
(Ref. Table 202).
B. Flight Test
(1) Fly the airplane at the altitude and cruising speed at which the airplane is normally operated.
(a) When the propeller speed has stabilized at cruise RPM, press START on the analyzer and
the analyzer will automatically acquire a reading and calculate a propeller solution. Press
PRINT on the analyzer to print the solution.
(b) Press SEL CHART on the analyzer (as indicated by the cursor position on the analyzer
display) and switch to the opposite propeller on the switchbox. Press START on the
analyzer and the analyzer will automatically acquire a reading and calculate a propeller
solution. Press PRINT on the analyzer to print the solution.

Record the amount of weight added or removed, the location and the IPS of the final balance.
C. Propeller Inspection
Use the inspection guide for propeller inspection intervals and points of inspection (Ref. Chapter
5-20-00).
D. Cleaning/Painting
As a preventive measure, the propeller reversing hardware may be rubbed clean with steel wool and
coated with clear lacquer aerosol spray.
Balance Chart
Figure 207 (Sheet 1)
1. General
A. Primary Governor (Ref. Figure 1 and Figure 2)
(1) An increase in the flow of oil regulated by the primary governor passes through the oil transfer
housing and the hollow center of the propeller shaft to move the propeller blades toward the low
pitch (high RPM) hydraulic stop and reverse positions. The primary governor, mounted on top of
the gear reduction housing, regulates power turbine speed (N2) by varying propeller blade pitch.
The governor consists of a gear-type oil pump with flyweights mounted on a rotating head, and
a spring-loaded pilot valve that regulates the flow of oil to and from the propeller servo piston.
The position of the pilot valve is controlled by the rotating flyweights, in conjunction with the
spring load imposed by the external speed control lever. When the engine RPM drops to an
underspeed condition below the control setting, spring force overcomes flyweight force to lower
the pilot valve plunger and open the port in the governor drive gear shaft, through which oil flows
to the propeller servo piston and decreases blade angle. The decrease in pitch decreases the
load on the engine. The resultant increase in engine RPM also increases the centrifugal force
of the rotating flyweights, which then lift the pilot valve plunger to cover the port in the governor
drive gear shaft and shut off the flow of oil to the propeller. The forces exerted on the pilot valve
plunger by the flyweights and speeder-spring then balance to initiate the on-speed cycle of the
governor. An overspeed condition occurs with a decrease in propeller load or with movement
of the propeller control to decrease rpm. Flyweight force then overcomes speeder-spring force
and raises the pilot valve plunger to open the port through which oil drains from the propeller
through the governor to the sump. The load on the engine increases and rpm drops as the
counterweights and feathering spring increase propeller pitch. The pilot valve then centers in the
governor drive gear shaft to block the flow of oil to and from the propeller as governor flyweight
and speeder-spring force reach a state of equilibrium.
(2) The primary governor contains a fuel topping governor which has an airbleed orifice that opens
to change the effect of the fuel control valve in the Fuel Control Unit (FCU) to reduce fuel, power,
and N1. During normal flying, instantaneous changes in the atmospheric density cause high N2
rpm. When the primary governor senses the overspeed condition, the governing section moves
an airbleed lever to open the airbleed orifice. When the propeller control lever is at high rpm,
the airbleed will open as N2 increases 6% above the selected value. When the propeller control
lever is at low rpm, the airbleed will open when N2 reaches 4% below the selected value. When
the engine control lever is moved into reverse, the beta cambox push/pull cable pulls the reset
linkage aft to hold the airbleed orifice open.
B. Overspeed Governor
(1) A propeller overspeed governor, mounted on the left side of the reduction gear housing, acts
as a safeguard against propeller overspeed should the primary governor fail. The overspeed
governor regulates the flow of oil to the propeller pitch-change mechanism by means of
a flyweight and speeder-spring arrangement similar to that of the primary governor. The
overspeed unit governs at 106 percent N2 speed (approximately 1,802 rpm). Since it has no
mechanical controls, the overspeed governor is equipped with a testing solenoid that resets the
normal overspeed setting to approximately 1,564 rpm for ground testing.
C. Low Pitch Stop
(1) Propeller blade angle will be on the low pitch stop anytime the propeller rpm is lower than that
selected. With the engine condition levers on low setting, the gas turbine section N1 cannot
drive the propeller rpm N2 to the setting selected by the propeller control lever. At that point, the
propeller rpm falls below the range of the governor and reaches the low pitch stop. As N1 power
is reduced, N2 is reduced. The primary governor senses this underspeed condition and lowers
the pilot valve in the governing section to reduce pitch (reduce the load). The decrease in blade
angle allows the propeller rpm N2 to increase and match the rpm as selected in the cockpit. The
beta ring on the propeller gives mechanical feedback of the blade position to the reverse lever of
the beta valve. When the blade pitch reaches the desired position as determined by the rigging,
the reverse lever moves the beta valve outward to stop the oil flow to the propeller and hold the
blade at that pitch. At that point the governor has no effect because the beta valve prevents oil
from going to or leaving the propeller.

D. Ground Fine Stop System (UE-1 thru UE-334 not Modified by Kit No. 129-9011-1, or airplanes that
have installed kit number 129-9031-0001)
The ground fine stop system uses an electrical solenoid mounted on the front of the reversing push/
pull cable to reduce the propeller blade angles from the flight idle low pitch stop to the ground idle
low pitch stop. The solenoid is connected to the propeller reversing lever by means of a slotted clevis
which allows the reversing lever to be pulled aft, resetting the beta valve.
The electrical solenoid is wired through the RH landing gear squat switch in parallel with the ground
fine switch in the pedestal. Either the RH squat switch or the ground fine pedestal switch can energize
the solenoid. Lifting either power lever beyond the flight idle position activates the pedestal switch
causing the solenoid to energize and pull the reverse lever of the beta valve aft to reset the blade
angle. Once the weight on the RH landing gear is sufficient to transition the squat switch to the ground
position, the solenoid remains energized regardless of power lever position.
E. Ground Fine Stop System (UE-335 and After, and those Airplanes Modified by Kit No. 129-9011-1)
The ground fine stop system uses an electrical solenoid mounted on the front of the reversing push/
pull cable to reduce the propeller blade angles from the flight idle low pitch stop to the ground idle
low pitch stop. The solenoid is connected to the propeller reversing lever by means of a slotted clevis
which allows the reversing lever to be pulled aft, resetting the beta valve.
The electrical solenoid is wired through the RH landing gear squat switch in parallel with the ground
fine switch in the pedestal. Either the RH squat switch or the ground fine pedestal switch can energize
the solenoid. Lifting either power lever beyond the flight idle position activates the pedestal switch
causing the solenoid to energize and pull the reverse lever of the beta valve aft to reset the blade
angle. Once the weight on the RH landing gear is sufficient to transition the squat switch to the ground
position, the solenoid remains energized regardless of power lever position.
If a malfunction occurs in the low pitch stop solenoid system, the PROP GND SOL annunciator will
illuminate. This annunciator monitors the position of the solenoid plungers during ground and flight
operations. Illumination of this annunciator indicates a malfunction in the system which could include
any of the following:
Ground Operations: One or both solenoids are in the unpowered (flight) condition, either due to a loss
of power or a sticking solenoid.
Flight Operations: One or both solenoids are in the powered (ground) position, either due to a
malfunction which allows power to the solenoid, or the solenoid is sticking.
In both cases there is an 8 ± 1 second delay from the time the malfunction occurs until the annunciator
illuminates.
F. Reversing System
When lifted toward the ground fine position, the power levers actuate the pedestal switch that activates
the circuit of the secondary low pitch stop system, which remains activated throughout the reverse
range. This enables the propeller servo piston to reverse the pitch of the propeller blades with engine
oil pressure from the governor sump. The power lever controls are connected to the engine control
beta cam box which is also linked to the fuel control unit. A push-pull cable extends from the beta cam
box forward to the reversing lever attached to the brush that rides in the brass propeller feedback ring.
Movement of the power control lever is transmitted through the beta cam box and interconnecting
linkage to the fuel control unit. Prop control levers mechanically linked to the governors regulate
propeller speed and pitch.
G. Synchrophaser
The propeller synchrophaser automatically matches the RPM of both engines and positions the
propellers at a preset phase relationship. This phase relationship is designed to decrease cabin
noise and is not adjustable by the pilot.

MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Signal pulses are obtained from magnetic pickups, one located at each propeller hub. The pickup
is mounted on a bracket on the engine case while the magnetic target for the pickup is mounted on
the back of the propeller spinner bulkhead so that it rotates with the propeller. In this way, one pulse
is produced for each revolution of the propeller. Electric pulses generated by the magnetic target
passing each magnetic pickup are fed into the control box. An electromagnetic coil for RPM trimming
is mounted in each propeller governor close to the flyweights. Any difference in the pulse rates will
cause the control box to vary governor ground potential until the propellers RPM match, due to control
by the governors. Propeller RPM is a function of the propeller control lever in its quadrant since linkage
from the lever sets the governor flyweight position. The synchrophaser cannot reduce the RPM set
by the propeller control lever. It can increase the RPM over a predetermined limited range. This limits
RPM loss to a fixed value on the operative engine in the event the propeller of one engine is feathered
with the synchrophaser ON. In no case will the operative engine RPM fall below the RPM set by the
propeller lever.
The propeller synchrophaser may be used on takeoff at the pilot's option. (The limited range of
the synchrophaser will be reduced near maximum propeller RPM.) For all other operations, the
synchrophaser should be switched OFF before adjusting the propeller RPM. Adjust the propeller
levers to obtain synchronization and then switch the synchrophaser ON. This will keep the
synchrophaser within its limited range.
NOTE: If the synchrophaser is ON but does not adjust properly, the synchrophaser has reached
the limits of its range. Turn the system OFF, manually adjust the propeller RPM into
synchronization, then turn the synchrophaser ON.

C. Check
The overspeed unit, mounted on the left side of the reduction gear housing, is preset at the factory to
govern at 106% N2 (approximately 1,802 RPM). This setting can be reduced to 1,535 to 1,595 RPM
for testing purposes by means of a testing solenoid valve. A second solenoid valve attached to the
governor provides a means of immediately dumping oil from the unit for autofeathering. Perform the
overspeed governor check as follows:
CAUTION: Do not force the power levers into the full reverse position while
performing this test.
(1) Start the engines in accordance with the operator's manual.
(2) Press the propeller governor and bus feeder circuit breakers on the RH circuit breaker panel.
(3) Move the propeller levers full forward and increase power to 1,500 rpm.
CAUTION: Do not exceed the engine torque and ITT limits during this test.
(4) Hold the PROP TEST switch on the pilot's left subpanel in the OVERSPEED position.
(5) Advance the power lever until RPM stabilizes at 1,535 to 1,595 RPM. Observe the increase in
torque.
NOTE: Overspeed units that fail to govern at the prescribed settings should be replaced
and returned to a qualified service station for repair.
(6) Set the power lever in the idle position, then release the propeller test switch. Repeat the
preceding check on the other engine.
(7) Shut down engines in accordance with the operator's manual.
